The crowd buzzed. "Isn't that Mr. York's childhood friend, the Winter family heiress? Why is she getting chased off by the foreign hosts?"
"Did she say something offensive and anger them?"
One of the socialites chuckled. "That's Mrs. Pierce of Lyonne Global and Madame Virmont. Both women hold the reins of massive multinational conglomerates and carry immense weight in top-tier circles. Jade Winter clearly tried to force her way into their group, but she was entirely unwelcome."
"On the other hand, the lady standing next to Mr. York earlier seems incredibly popular among them."
Someone else whispered, "I just heard Mrs. Pierce is planning to host an exclusive weekend gathering in Fairmont. She only invited a handful of people from the city, and that lady is one of them."
Another woman gasped in surprise. "Really? What's her background to earn such favor from Mrs. Pierce?"
"She apparently just returned from abroad. Word is, she already knew a few of those elite wives."
"No wonder Mr. York brought her to the banquet. That must be the reason."
Jade couldn't make out their exact words, but her mood plummeted. She had no idea if they had overheard Madame Virmont's scathing reprimand.
Her hands balled into tight fists, a suffocating wave of jealousy and rage boiling over within her.
A twisted look flashed across her features as her cold gaze cut through the crowd.
She stared venomously at Quinn's back, wishing she could tear her apart.
Shameless bitch!
I will absolutely make you pay for this.
Noticing that Miles had finished his conversation with Mr. Pierce, she instantly smoothed away her hostile glare. Swapping it for a gentle, heartbroken expression, she hurried over to him.
"Miles..."
"Miles, it's all my fault. If I hadn't gone over there, Quinn wouldn't have said those things. Please don't fight with her because of me."
"Jade, this has nothing to do with you. I will make sure you get justice."
A triumphant gleam flashed through Jade's eyes. Did that bitch really think infiltrating Mrs. Pierce's circle meant she was untouchable?
As long as Miles took her side, that woman would never win!
Standing nearby, Hunter felt a wave of doubt. Mrs. York was never one to act out of line. Surely there was a misunderstanding?
He had originally intended to accompany Mrs. York the entire evening, but she had specifically told him not to hover, assuring him she wouldn't embarrass Miles.
He hadn't wanted to annoy her, so he stayed back.
Hearing Jade's accusations, he couldn't quite believe it. "Mr. York, shouldn't we hear Mrs. York's side of the story?"

Lol.. this guy is a complete fool , I dont know how he is the top predator , he rather believes Jade than Doctor's diagnosis 🙄 he is rich , if he didn't believe that particular doc ,he cud take her to another doctor. N he says he thinks of her as sis I mean no brother is this obsessed with his sis ,he does have a bio sis, he doesnt behave with her like that....
Whats wrong with grandparents in this kind of stories? They force the wife to stay even if she is miserable bcos they believe their grandson loves her but never tell how a married guy shud behave just enabling his behavior. 😏...
He can be friends with Jade with no boundaries but she cant be friends with Ethan? Such hypocrisy. So he does know the way he is being with Jade is wrong and still does it...
This guy brought the kid against her mom's wishes and he doesn't even respect her n when her kids are hurt she can't even fight? What gives him the right? He is just plain disgusting...
Why does he have authority over other kids? Why wud he send his assistant to bring the kids over against their mom's wishes? This guy is just stupid ,it's like a mad n stupid dog sitting on money n just doing whatever he feels like without an ounce of respect for others....
You are just a snob and holier than thou person....
His aristocratic upbringing stopped him from losing composure? Seriously , his aristocratic upbringing is not that great , he got no morals , only using underhanded tactics on a helpless individual . He got money ,so it's a viable sophistry when his heart is rotten. When the winter's family is in the wrong ,why is he scared of them attacking his wife and the winter's family doesn't even give him a shot n he still acts like a dog for them. Please don't make him the endgame for her....
It's for her own good . He is afraid of Arthur Quinn ? 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? He can only show his power n abuse on innocent ones with no background like his wife? How disgusting is he? 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....
