She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 398

Normally, he would gently comfort her when she acted like this. But today, he said nothing.

Instead, he asked coldly, "Jade, when you were with Mrs. Pierce earlier, did Quinn actually bully you?"

The question caught her completely off guard. The pitiful expression on her face froze.

What did he mean by that?

What did he mean, 'did she actually bully you'?

She had already told him she did! Why was he asking again?

Did he no longer believe her?

Or had that bitch said something to him?

Hiding the venomous resentment in her eyes, she kept her voice fragile.

"Miles, did she tell you something? I... I don't blame her. I just hoped she wouldn't take things too far. After all, I'm attending this gala as your secretary. If she makes a scene, it'll ruin the York Group's reputation."

"Normally, I just endure it, but at an event like this, I really—"

"Jade." He cut her off coldly, his predatory gaze locking onto her. "I just need a yes or no. Did she or didn't she?"

"Miles... you know how she is. She saw me here, saw us wearing the same dress, and definitely misunderstood the situation. That's why she embarrassed me in front of those ladies. But I... I really don't blame her for it."

Miles's expression turned terrifyingly harsh, stripping away every ounce of warmth from his handsome face.

The eyes that had once looked at her with indulgence were now dead and cold. There was no rage. No shouting.

He just stared at her blankly, as if inspecting what he once thought was a flawless treasure...

...only to realize it was full of ugly cracks he had been too blind to see.
