Yara Chase was waiting for her at home. Hearing the door open, she immediately rushed over. "Quinn, did Miles and his lackey give you a hard time?"
Quinn Avery's brows furrowed with worry. The words Miles York had thrown at her before leaving made her afraid this mess would drag Yara back down.
"He wants me to settle with Wesley Winter."
Yara's chest heaved with anger. "Quinn, do not settle!"
"Wesley had the nerve to lock you in a bathroom all night. If you let him off the hook, who knows what he'll do next? We can't cave. We need to throw him behind bars and teach him a lesson."
Quinn shook her head. "I didn't agree to it."
"Good, don't."
Hearing that she hadn't given in, Yara breathed a sigh of relief.
However, early the next morning, Yara discovered she had been removed from her company's team chat. Soon after, she received a call from her manager, claiming parents had complained about her being sluggish and unenthusiastic in class, demanding a replacement.
She tried to defend herself, but her manager pointedly asked why she had been offending the wrong people lately.
That sentence made everything click for Yara. Her emotions flared.
"I didn't offend anyone I shouldn't have! They're the ones breaking the law by holding my friend against her will! My friend reported it, and now they're trying to force her to settle!"
Overhearing this, Quinn dropped what she was doing and hurried over.
"Yara..."
After hanging up, Yara remained steadfast in her refusal to let Quinn compromise. Fuming, she ranted.
"Quinn, do not settle. Let them complain all they want, I'm done working for them anyway!"
Yara viciously bit into a piece of fruit, her eyes flashing with fury.
She had her family, and Yara had hers.
The two women hugged, Yara's voice choking up a bit. The thought of her aging parents weighed heavily on her heart.
Yara's father drove long-haul freight trucks—an exhausting and dangerous job.
Her mother ran a small tailoring shop back in their hometown, barely making ends meet while still trying to put her brother through school.
That very day, Quinn returned to Regency Bay.
Miles seemed to know she would come looking for him, having returned early from the office.
Seeing him sitting casually and elegantly on the sofa, waiting for her like a predator, a ball of fire ignited in Quinn's chest. She glared at the aloof man with dark intensity.
"Miles, besides threatening my best friend's livelihood to force my hand, what other dirty tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

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....
