She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 408

Was it really that serious?

She forced herself to collect her wits. A calculated gleam flashed through her eyes as she slipped back into her gentle, soothing tone.

"Intentional? Are you sure her getting trapped wasn't just a simple accident?

I remember seeing the floor blowers running outside. Did she ignore the maintenance signs, barge in anyway, and get accidentally locked in by the cleaning staff?"

"An accident?"

"Yeah, exactly! It has to be an accident. Quinn was probably just in a rush, completely missed the signs, and ran right in. Then a staff member accidentally locked the door, trapping her."

Miles pinched the bridge of his nose. "Jade, it wasn't an accident. Someone deliberately locked her in there. The hotel staff confirmed that the restroom was absolutely not under maintenance."

Jade turned ghost-white, realizing she had dangerously overplayed her hand. She scrambled to cover her tracks.

"Then who... who would intentionally target Quinn?"

Her voice trembled with subtle probing, utterly terrified the police had already stumbled across hard evidence.

"The cops are digging into it now," Miles replied flatly. "I doubt it will take long for them to find something."

"Miles, do you think she pissed the wrong person off? Quinn was soaking up all of Mrs. Pierce's attention last night. Maybe one of the high-society women in Fairmont got jealous and..."

She desperately tried to pass the buck, paralyzed by the fear that the investigation would lead straight back to her.

Her mind was a chaotic mess. She needed to track down her brother immediately to ensure he hadn't left any damning evidence behind.

Miles's tone remained utterly impassive. "The police will get to the bottom of it. You stay out of this."

Jade caught the distinct chill in his voice, and an icy dread spread through her veins.

She opened her mouth to argue, but Miles had already hung up.

A shivering dread settled heavily in Jade's chest. She could feel the agonizing truth: after the disaster at the banquet, Miles simply didn't have the same limitless patience and warmth for her anymore.
