After bringing Wesley up to speed, a vicious look crossed his face.
"That bitch. First, she steals your translation award and embarrasses you, and now she humiliates you in front of all these people? Don't worry, Jade. I'm going to make her pay double today."
"But... isn't your plan a little too soft?"
Wesley wasn't satisfied. If it were up to him, they'd kidnap Quinn and lock her in an abandoned shed in the middle of nowhere for a few days.
"Wesley, we can't kidnap her. If Miles finds out, we're dead meat.
We're just giving her a little punishment today. Once Peter restores the data, she'll be utterly ruined."
"Fine. We'll do it your way."
Just as Quinn was heading back to her seat, a waiter clumsily bumped into her, spilling a glass of red wine all over the hem of her gown.
The waiter quickly backed away, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry! So sorry! It was an accident!"
Figuring it was just an honest mistake, Quinn didn't make a fuss and headed toward the restroom to clean up.
The waiter discreetly flashed an 'okay' sign in Jade's direction.
Jade and Wesley stepped out from the unlit corridor, exchanging a triumphant glance.
Quinn washed the stain in the sink. But when she tried to leave, she found the heavy main door locked from the outside.
"Is anyone out there?"
She banged on the door anxiously, but met only with silence.
The only sound was the loud, whirring roar of a heavy-duty industrial fan drying the carpets in the hallway, easily drowning out her cries for help.
She pulled out her phone, but there were zero bars. It was as if the signal was being intentionally jammed.
Her mind immediately went to Jade. She thought back to the waiter.
Seeing him staring at his phone, Jade strolled over, acting as if nothing had happened. Her voice was sickeningly sweet.
"Miles, are you calling Quinn?"
Hearing her voice, a bottomless darkness swallowed Miles's eyes. His expression hardened into an impenetrable wall.
He looked completely unreadable, radiating a chilling, stay-away aura.
The freezing intensity of his gaze made Jade's heart skip a beat. What was wrong with him?
Why was he looking at her like that?
"Miles, did she leave early because she was mad?"
Slipping into her usual routine, Jade let tears well up in her beautiful eyes. She bit her lower lip, looking incredibly fragile and wronged.
She spoke softly, dramatically taking all the blame upon herself. "If I'm the reason you two are fighting, I can apologize to her!"

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....
