She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 393

Quinn turned to leave, but Miles instinctively grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"

"Let me go!"

Her skin was already red from where he had grabbed her earlier. She struggled against his tight grip, her body stumbling forward.

Her forehead accidentally slammed into the glass door with a dull thud.

Miles hurriedly reached out to catch her, but Quinn shoved his hands away.

She steadied herself, rubbing her forehead, and walked away without looking back.

He was left standing alone on the terrace, the dim lighting casting long shadows across his tall frame. Frustrated, he tugged at his collar.

A suffocating wave of irritation washed over him. He couldn't figure out why the icy, desolate look in her eyes made his chest ache so much.

...

Inside the banquet hall, a melodious waltz drifted through the air as crystal wine glasses caught the glittering light.

In the center of the crowd, Jade Winter was laughing and chatting with several high-society ladies of Fairmont.

Among them was someone from her usual social circle, though she wasn't fawning over Jade like the rest.

Catching the woman's distant demeanor, Jade felt a flicker of annoyance. She approached the wealthy woman with a soft, placating tone. "Mrs. Sheridan, are you still holding a grudge against me over what happened with your cousin?"

Mrs. Sheridan's cousin used to be classmates with Jade, and the two had once fought tooth and nail for the position of student body president.

Mrs. Sheridan's expression remained passive. "Ms. Winter, I'm not holding a grudge over my cousin. We simply run in different circles, so naturally, I have no desire to be close to you."
