Quinn's tone was flat. "I'm tired, and I want to rest. Thank you for staying the night. I'll pay back the favor eventually. You can leave now."
It wasn't that she didn't want to speak; it was a suffocating wave of despair that proved she had long given up on the man standing before her.
Telling him would only make him think she was utterly paranoid. She was drained, and she had neither the desire nor the energy to argue with him right now.
She would go to the police herself and let them handle the investigation.
"Quinn, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?"
Miles clearly sensed her refusal to engage, and a flash of irritation crossed his face. He had no idea what she was so worried about, or why her guard was so high.
"I told you, I will get you justice. You don't need to be afraid of anyone."
Anyone?
He was the absolute last person she wanted to discuss the attack with, let alone name the mastermind.
But since he insisted on pushing, Quinn finally looked up, her eyes laced with biting mockery as she spoke in an airy tone.
"Oh? Are you really going to get me justice, Miles?"
Miles despised that look on her face. His brows furrowed. "What kind of question is that? Of course I will."
Quinn leaned her fragile frame against the headboard, her lips pale as her gaze locked steadily onto his.
She let out a dry, bitter laugh. "Right..."
His dark eyes narrowed. "What's so funny?"
A fleeting shadow of contempt crossed Quinn's eyes, her words dripping with deliberate skepticism.
"Let me ask you one more time, Miles. Are you truly willing to seek justice for me, instead of just telling me to let it go?"
A sharp sting pierced Miles's chest. How could he not hear the heavy sarcasm in her voice?
Yes, in the past, he had told her to drop things, to stop being so aggressive.
But how could she equate those trivial squabbles with an actual crime?
His profound gaze rested heavily on her pale face, catching that lingering sneer in her eyes, and a sudden, oppressive weight settled over his chest.
That deeply ingrained bias, forged since childhood, obliterated any lingering desire she had to discuss the trauma with him.
Miles realized his tone had been too harsh. He quickly smoothed his expression and pursed his lips.
He softened his voice. "Do you have any proof that she did this?"
"No."
Miles's brow furrowed tightly. "If you don't have proof, what gives you the right to accuse her?"
If he genuinely wanted to investigate, the evidence would undoubtedly surface.
But he hadn't even started looking before jumping to his sweetheart's defense.
Quinn realized that arguing any further was utterly pointless; her chest felt incredibly hollow.
"Right. I'm framing your precious Jade. I'm just a jealous, narrow-minded bitch holding a grudge and targeting her on purpose. Are we done here?"
"Get out. Stop bothering me."

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....
