She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 407

As if on cue, Jade Winter called him right at that moment. Miles ignored it.

Thinking about the scene she had caused at the banquet left him incredibly irritated. He really wasn't in the mood to hear her voice right now.

Who exactly was Jade?

He had always believed she was gentle, kind-hearted, perfectly reasonable, and obedient.

But what he had witnessed at the banquet... was deeply unsettling.

It felt entirely foreign.

It was almost as if a total stranger had slipped on a familiar mask just to smile sweetly at him.

When Miles didn't pick up, Jade switched to texting. [Miles, I can explain what happened last night...]

[It's not what you saw or heard. There's a massive misunderstanding. I admit, seeing Quinn get along so well with Mrs. Pierce made me feel a little left out. I genuinely just wanted to fit in with that circle, but Quinn completely stonewalled me. Her attitude totally ruined how Mrs. Pierce saw me. I got a little upset and said some things I shouldn't have.]

Miles read the message but didn't type a single word back. He had zero desire to engage.

Because of that stupid spat, he had completely misjudged Quinn and ended up lecturing her on the terrace.

And now, he still hadn't found a decent opening to apologize.

But then he recalled Quinn flat-out accusing Jade of locking her in the restroom. After a brief hesitation, he picked up his phone and dialed Jade's number.

When the phone rang, Jade immediately assumed her text had worked, that he had believed her excuses and wasn't mad anymore.

She frantically picked up. "Miles! You finally called back. I tried calling you so many times last night and you never answered. I was heartbroken..."

Instead of the comforting reassurance she desperately craved, Miles's voice was pure ice.

"Quinn was locked inside a hotel restroom last night and left freezing until morning. Did you have anything to do with this?"

All color violently drained from Jade's face. Her breath hitched, her fingers digging brutally into the edges of her phone.
