After having dinner with the kids, Quinn gathered the dishes and took them to the sink. Glancing out the balcony window, she spotted a very familiar luxury car.
She froze, dropping her fork into the sink with a clatter.
Wait... isn't that Miles's black Bentley? Why is he here?
Her phone buzzed. Seeing Miles's name on the screen, she forced herself to calm down, dried her hands, and answered.
"Quinn, I'm downstairs at Fairview Apartments. Come down. We need to talk."
Quinn knew exactly what this was about. To prevent him from barging upstairs and terrifying the kids, she didn't refuse.
"Give me ten minutes. I'll meet you at that park."
Miles had been to that park with Hunter before—it was the exact spot where he had caught her trying to sell Luna's smartwatch.
He naturally knew where she meant.
"Fine."
Quinn didn't relax until she saw his car pull away.
She quickly walked out and told Yara, "Miles wants to talk at the park across the street. I'm going to head down, just to make sure he and Hunter don't come up here looking for trouble."
Yara looked worried. "Do you want me to go with you? I'm worried you'll be at a disadvantage alone. If he came all the way out here for his childhood sweetheart's brother, he's definitely going to try and force your hand."
"It's fine. If anything happens, I'll call you."
"Mommy, are you going out?"
"I'm just taking out the trash, Caleb. I'll be right back."
"Okay."
He really is here to protect Wesley. An icy glare filled her eyes. "Not all injuries can be paid off with cash."
Miles's jaw tightened, his tone lacing with impatience. "Stop making a fuss, Quinn! He was in the wrong, but he's willing to apologize, and his family is willing to pay you. You should know when to quit while you're ahead!
"Dragging this out won't do anyone any good."
Quinn's voice turned sharp and freezing. "I'm making a fuss? I was the one locked in that bathroom that night, not you! You want me to settle? Fine. Lock Wesley in a freezing bathroom for a night. Let him experience the sheer agony, terror, and suffocating despair of screaming for help while no one answers..."
"Quinn! There's no need to play the victim. You're perfectly fine now, aren't you?"
Hearing those words, Quinn felt her breath catch in her throat, a suffocating wave of despair crashing over her.
"What kind of twisted logic is that? Because I'm fine, he gets off without any consequences?
"Alright, then! If I stab him and the doctors manage to save his life, does that mean I'm legally innocent? After all, he survived, right? He's perfectly fine!"

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....
