Those words made Quinn tense up. She knew exactly how fiercely Judith York protected her son.
Judith already despised Quinn, furious that her perfect son would soon have the stain of a divorce on his flawless record.
If Judith found out that Quinn's brother was throwing Miles's name around town and using the York family's prestige as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder...
Given Judith's ruthlessly protective nature and zero tolerance for manipulation, a simple warning would be the least of his worries.
She would likely show no mercy, tossing him straight into a cell for fraud and defamation without breaking a sweat.
Jack stepped in. "Miss Macy, Ms. Avery was left in the rain a few days ago by Mr. York, and she still hasn't fully recovered. She looks quite pale. Why don't we let Gail brew the tea for you and Jade?"
Jade shot Jack a subtle, assessing glance. He hadn't said a word when Quinn was slaving over soup for Miles yesterday.
It seemed she had underestimated Quinn; she had already won over the staff at Regency Bay.
Macy scoffed coldly. "Jack, look at her dressed to go out. She looks perfectly fine to me. Where does she look sick?"
Quinn swallowed the heavy lump of frustration in her chest. A flash of exhausted resignation crossed her eyes as her clenched fingers slowly relaxed.
"Macy, I'll go make your tea. Just drop the subject."
Left with no choice because of her brother, she turned and headed for the kitchen.
The York household always had imported saffron steeping daily, reserved exclusively for Miles. All she had to do was simmer it for about fifty minutes.
Seeing her retreat to the kitchen, Macy wore a look of triumphant satisfaction. "Jade, I just avenged you."
Catching sight of Miles descending the stairs, Jade's expression shifted. She turned to Macy and spoke in a deliberately soft, gentle tone.
"Macy, was it really appropriate to make Quinn do that? Even though she and Miles are only in a contract marriage, we shouldn't treat her like a maid."
Miles looked over, a glimmer of deep appreciation in his eyes. Jade's heart leaped, and she returned his gaze with tender affection.
She waved a hand, huffing playfully. "Got it, got it. I'll learn from Jade. Happy now?"
With that, she looped her arm through Jade's, her tone bright and chummy. "See, Jade? He's secretly praising you."
A thrill of secret delight swept through Jade as she gazed at Miles's flawlessly handsome face.
A delicate flush painted her radiant cheeks. "Macy, stop teasing me."
Quinn stepped out to ask how much sugar they wanted, only to freeze when she saw Miles and Jade standing side by side.
The man was breathtakingly handsome, exuding tall, aristocratic elegance.
The woman was perfectly refined, possessing stunning curves and delicate grace.
They looked like a match made in heaven.

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....
