She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 388

Following Western social etiquette, Mrs. Pierce leaned in and exchanged light cheek kisses with Quinn.

With a perfectly poised, elegant smile, Quinn spoke in flawless, native-sounding English, offering genuine praise for the older woman's custom gown and exquisite jewelry.

Mr. Pierce opted for a traditional handshake with Miles, his tone warm and familiar yet maintaining professional boundaries.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Pierce gestured smoothly to the side, introducing several multinational executives to Miles.

In this top-tier social circle, every word spoken carried immense business weight. There was no room for empty small talk, and every gesture radiated the quiet dominance of industry leaders.

Jade sidled up to Miles. When she heard one of the executives mixing German into his English, she eagerly stepped forward, assuming Miles couldn't understand, and took it upon herself to translate.

"Miles, he's saying there is currently an oversupply in the international crude oil market, causing violent fluctuations in Brent crude spot prices. Several European and American energy groups are adjusting their futures positions."

"They also mentioned plans to push forward joint investments in offshore floating oil platforms in Southeast Asia and are looking for international capital. He's asking if you have any interest in entering the cross-border energy sector."

The executives couldn't understand the Mandarin, assuming she was accurately relaying their words.

Miles, however, merely frowned. His voice was cool and detached. "Jade, step back."

Jade froze. Assuming he was simply acknowledging that he got the gist, she kept her sweet smile plastered on, radiating unearned superiority as she nodded at the executives.

Hunter visibly cringed. Did Jade seriously think Mr. York couldn't understand German?

Mr. Elon, the CEO of the Hans Group, hadn't said there was an *oversupply* in the crude oil market—he said there was an *undersupply*. And the energy groups weren't just *adjusting* their futures positions; they were *increasing* them. She completely botched the most fundamental details and still had the nerve to show off?
