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?

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....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
