She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 394

Several of the surrounding ladies covered their mouths, chuckling. "Oh, please, Jade. We all heard it. There's no point in lying."

"Exactly. Tell us, who is this Ms. Avery anyway? How is it that she fits right into Mrs. Pierce's circle, while you, Mr. York's supposed childhood sweetheart, are left out in the cold?"

The women chimed in one after another. They weren't outright sneering, but every word felt like a slap to Jade's face.

"Right? Madame Virmont clearly didn't welcome you, yet you kept pushing yourself on them. If it weren't out of respect for Ms. Avery, they definitely would have had you thrown out."

"I didn't..."

With Mrs. Sheridan exposing her disgraceful behavior to the crowd, the surrounding guests began casting surprised and disdainful glances her way.

The last trace of forced composure vanished from her face, replaced by a deep, flushed red.

She didn't dare meet anyone's eyes. Unable to take it anymore, she shoved her way past the group of women.

"I didn't do anything. It wasn't me. You're all mistaken," she stammered out.

Panicked and flustered, she practically fled the scene.

The ladies snickered amongst themselves. "Honestly, Mrs. Sheridan was minding her own business. Jade was the one annoyed that she wasn't getting enough flattery, so she came over to start trouble. Now look at her, making a fool of herself."

"Right?"

The crowd thinned out again, revealing a handsome but profoundly grim face lingering in the shadows.

Miles and Hunter had been standing a short distance away, taking in the entire scene.

"Mr. York, I told you... there must have been a misunderstanding. Mrs. York doesn't seem like the type to cause a scene," Hunter murmured.

Hunter sighed. "It turns out Secretary Winter provoked them herself and tried to sabotage Mrs. York. That's why Madame Virmont took offense and nearly had her thrown out."

"And yet, she told you Mrs. York intentionally bullied and humiliated her."

Miles's chiseled face looked as though it were encased in a layer of frost, exuding an absolute, terrifying chill.
