She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 391

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?"
