"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.

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....
