She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 390
"Forgive my presumption, but do we have an appointment? Or perhaps a mutual acquaintance who could introduce us? We don't seem to recognize you."
Even as the executive secretary of York Group, one simply couldn't barge into this elite circle without a proper introduction.
Jade's face stiffened. She had studied abroad and knew Western etiquette, but she was completely ignorant of the unspoken rules governing this ultra-elite social tier.
She hastily closed the distance to Quinn, acting as though they were intimate friends, and reached out to grab her hand.
"My apologies. I am the secretary accompanying Mr. York. Mrs. York here knows me."
She hated acknowledging Quinn as Mrs. York, but in this situation, she had no other choice.
She needed to use this connection to prevent the others from ostracizing her.
The ladies turned to Quinn, asking in English, "Mrs. York, do you know her?"
Quinn neatly side-stepped Jade's outstretched hand, her gaze aloof and distant. "We've met, but we aren't close."
Jade went completely pale. Looking flustered, she forced a laugh for the group.
"Quinn is just joking around. That's exactly how she is—she loves making people laugh."
Hearing Jade subtly insult her as a cheap entertainer, Quinn's eyes grew even colder, though her tone remained composed.
"I'm sorry, but I truly don't know you well. If you wish to network with Madame Virmont and Mrs. Pierce, you should follow proper social etiquette instead of forcing a connection with me. Please don't use a non-existent friendship as your stepping stone. Like I said, we aren't close."
Her words were a resounding slap in the face. Jade's complexion instantly flared crimson, her eyes darting around in absolute humiliation.
Quinn then turned and repeated her statement perfectly in English to the ladies. Hearing the translation, Madame Virmont and Mrs. Pierce immediately frowned.
Seeing that Jade was still hovering, they signaled for a waiter to escort her away.
The blood rushed to her cheeks, leaving her face a mottled mess of red and white as her long eyelashes fluttered in pure panic.
She couldn't hide the overwhelming embarrassment in her eyes; every inch of her radiated utter humiliation.
But with all the elite wives now watching, she had to maintain some shred of dignity, hastily forcing an awkward, apologetic smile.
She tried to brush it off, but an annoyed Mrs. Pierce signaled for security.
Panic-stricken, Jade profusely apologized for her intrusion.
She was terrified that security would actually throw her out, which would be the ultimate disgrace.
The Fairmont socialites standing nearby immediately began pointing and whispering.

I mean what use is he as a husband when he's afraid of someone will ruin his wife's career n already had done once and he still doesn't have the guts to stand up for her?

N he thinks he's above everyone and even when he looks down upon someone bcos she is a maid's daughter , when he is this spineless?...
Why only one episode uploading for the last 2 days?...
I would have accepted the jerk husband ending up with the heroine if he’s only powerful, intelligent but he’s so powerless and so stupid....
