Seeing her trembling and panicked beyond belief, Hunter walked away, thoroughly satisfied.
Jade hoisted up her gown and chased after them, her voice desperate. "No... Miles, it's not what it looked like!"
"I... I can explain!"
But Miles didn't even spare her a glance. He slid into the back of his black Bentley and ordered Tristan to drive off.
Leaving Jade in the dust, he pulled out his phone and tried calling Quinn again. It still wouldn't connect.
Frustrated, he called Regency Bay to check if she had gone home.
Gail was deeply confused. "Sir, didn't the madam leave with you? Why would she be back early?"
"She isn't here. She never came home."
Miles hung up and immediately ordered Hunter to send out a search party, telling him to check Fairview Apartments as well.
He needed to know if she had quietly slinked back to her old apartment. God, she never made things easy for him.
...
Meanwhile, Quinn was still trapped in the hotel restroom. Her phone battery was nearly dead.
The banquet had ended, yet no one had come to unlock the door.
Suddenly, she thought she heard a voice over the roar of the fan. It sounded like Tristan.
"Mrs. York, are you in here?"
"You guys check over there. I'm heading up to the second floor."
"Yes, sir," the bodyguards replied.
"Tristan, I'm in here!"
Quinn slammed her fists against the door, screaming as loud as she could. But thanks to the deafening carpet fan outside, Tristan heard nothing but mechanical noise.
After sweeping the area, he assumed the floor was empty.
The bodyguards reported back empty-handed. Tristan called his boss. "Sir, she's not at the hotel. She really must have left early."
Miles had been dialing her number every few minutes. This time, he was hit with an automated message saying the phone was powered off.
He gripped his phone so hard his knuckles turned white, his face terrifyingly grim.
That woman! There was a limit to throwing a tantrum. She had half his staff scouring the streets, and she couldn't even bother replying to a single text?
Yara marched toward him. "Spit it out! Did that bastard hurt her?"
Seeing him dodge the question in silence, Yara's rage boiled over.
"Great! Just great! You and your boss just love treating my best friend like garbage, don't you?"
"You think because she's nice she doesn't have anyone backing her up?!"
Yara rolled up her sleeves and threw a solid punch right at his chest.
Taking the hit, Hunter stumbled back, holding his hands up in defense.
"Ms. Chase! It's a misunderstanding! Mr. York... he didn't hurt her."
"He didn't? Then why is she missing? Why is her phone turned off?"
"I swear to God, if anything happens to Quinn, I will end both of you!"
"I... I need to go. If she shows up, please let us know she's safe. I'll keep looking."
Hunter practically scrambled down the stairs and immediately called his boss. "Mr. York, she's not at Fairview. She never went back."

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....
