Miles choked on his words, his face darkening as he snapped in anger. "You're completely unreasonable! How can you compare the two?"
"Why can't I? He illegally restricted my freedom. I'm fine because I was lucky, not because he was merciful!"
Miles's expression turned thunderous. "You—you're just twisting words and being deliberately difficult!"
Ignoring his fury, Quinn let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Heh... Miles, who was it at the hospital that swore the person who hurt me would face the law? Who was it that told me I didn't need to fear anyone? And what are you doing right now?
"You're forcing me to bow to my abuser, forcing me to swallow my pride and sweep this under the rug!
"If you couldn't deliver, you shouldn't have made such pretty promises at the hospital! Talking big only to force me into submission... it just proves what an absolute hypocrite you are!
"The great Miles York is nothing but a fraud!"
With every word she fired, the color drained from Miles's face. His previously unshakable gaze contracted sharply, and the air around them turned violently still.
He didn't offer a single word of defense. His dark eyes locked onto hers, burning with suppressed, seething rage.
His anger wasn't just born from her blunt accusations. He suddenly realized that her rapid-fire questions at the hospital had been a setup all along.
She had anticipated that he would end up swallowing his own words over this exact incident.
That was why she had looked at him with that mocking gaze. That was why she had told him to remember the words he had spoken.
Her relentless questioning at the hospital had been a calculated trap, waiting for him to step right into it.
What a brilliant mind. What calculated scheming. What ruthless foresight!
It felt as if a spider web had woven itself tightly around his heart, suffocating him. He wanted to violently tear away the tangled threads, but he didn't even know where to begin.
Arthur Winter wouldn't dare touch Quinn, but he would absolutely target the people and things she cared about to threaten her.
He was only trying to protect her. Why couldn't this woman understand that?
Forget it. Let her do what she wants.
He dropped one final warning. "Quinn, sometimes you need to think about your family. Think about your brother, and think about your good friend, Yara. You need to consider this carefully."
Miles didn't linger, not wanting her to think he was actively threatening her.
Leaving those words hanging in the air, he turned and walked away.
Quinn clenched her fists tightly. Those words again. Aside from using the people she loved as leverage, what else was he even capable of?

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....
