She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 418

"Yara is Luna's mother. By doing this, you're only going to break Luna's heart, and she will want absolutely nothing to do with you."

Miles's innate arrogance, born from years of unchecked power, usually meant he never bothered explaining himself to anyone.

But for some inexplicable reason—perhaps out of consideration for Luna—he actually responded.

"Quinn, do not pin things on me that I haven't done. If I did it, I wouldn't bother denying it."

Quinn remembered he had said the exact same thing last time.

Had she really accused him falsely?

"Then who was it?"

Miles's lips parted slightly. "Wesley is the son of Arthur Winter. The Winter Group controls a third of the educational institutions in Fairmont."

That answered everything. Sparks of realization flared in Quinn's eyes. It was the Winter family?

She thought back to the previous incident, where he had also denied involvement.

Still a bit skeptical, she asked, "So, you're saying the last incident was the Winter family's doing as well?"

"You're not entirely clueless."

Quinn clenched her fists, her glaring eyes locked onto the man in front of her.

"If the Winter family has a problem, they can come after me. Why go after Yara's job?"

Miles stood up from the couch, stepping within a few feet of her and looking down with an imperious gaze.

A hint of mockery hid in his eyes. "Because you are still legally married to me. The Winter family won't dare touch you, but your best friend doesn't have that luxury."

A suffocating wave of anger burned in Quinn's chest. From his tone, it sounded like bearing the title of his wife was some grand privilege she ought to be grateful for.

His unconditional defense of his childhood sweetheart, his infuriating sense of entitlement, all of it was stifling. He was absolutely certain she would ultimately choose to settle.

He hadn't given her any real choice, yet he made it seem as if he were forcing her to beg for a compromise.

Quinn's knuckles turned white as she forcibly suppressed her surging emotions, her heart sinking into a heavy, cold despair.

After dropping that line, the man turned on his heel and strode out into the garden.

He dialed Jade, his voice tired. "Quinn agreed to the settlement."

Jade's joyful voice chimed through the receiver. "Miles, she really agreed? That's wonderful! I'll go tell my parents the good news right away."

Inside the house, Quinn called Ethan Leigh, informing him that she was willing to settle.

Ethan didn't press for details, simply stating that he respected her decision. He immediately arranged for a lawyer to meet her at the police station.
