She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 420

"Miles, you see this. It's not that I'm unwilling to settle, but Wesley clearly has no intention of making things right."

Miles's expression was as dark as a stormy sea, practically radiating a warning, yet he remained silent.

Quinn parted her lips in a nonchalant manner. "Marcus, since they aren't taking this seriously, let's not waste any more time."

Jade slowly uncurled her tight fists, speaking in a weak, frantic tone. "Quinn, my brother never said he wouldn't do it."

"Wesley, apologize to Quinn!"

Wesley was too proud to budge, but Jade leaned in and whispered something to him, finally prompting him to step forward reluctantly.

Lowering his head, he muttered, "I'm sorry! Ms. Avery, I was in the wrong, and I formally apologize."

The compensation was wired over, both parties signed the written settlement agreement, and the matter was finally put to rest.

...

Outside the police station, Jade wanted to have a word with Miles, but he gave her no opening.

"Jade, I have things to do."

"Miles, I know I acted impulsively, but you couldn't just sit there and watch my sister get bullied by Quinn at the banquet without doing anything!"

Seeing Miles acting so coldly toward his sister, Wesley assumed he was the cause.

Miles's pitch-black eyes locked onto him, a layer of frost settling over his gaze. "Wesley, I am not your brother-in-law. Do not address me like that again."

Wesley swallowed his frustration. Miles was clearly pissed at him, all because he acted too rashly.

But he genuinely didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Quinn had bullied his sister; what was wrong with standing up for her?

"Miles, don't let my actions drive a wedge between you and my sister. She had nothing to do with this."

"It's all my fault. She was completely in the dark, so please don't be mad at her!"

Miles's gaze felt like a blistering winter storm as it pinned the younger man down. A chilling aura spread through the air.

An invisible pressure silently blanketed the space. "Wesley, are you trying to ruin your sister's reputation?"

Quinn still refused, glaring into the vehicle with clear annoyance. "Miles, you got the settlement you wanted. What more do you want?"

Miles cast a lukewarm glance at her. "Grandma Evelyn just called. She wants us at The Sovereign Table for dinner."

Hearing it was Grandma Evelyn, Quinn paused.

Noticing the cars behind them honking, Hunter said anxiously, "Ms. Avery, we're blocking traffic. Please get in."

His boss's brow remained firmly knit. Hunter didn't dare drive off, leaving him praying Quinn would just comply.

Quinn hesitated for a moment, then, seeing drivers poking their heads out of their windows, she sighed and climbed inside.

Jade watched him invite Quinn into the car while completely ignoring her. Her nails dug ruthlessly into her palms, her eyes flashing with venomous jealousy.

That bitch! This was all that shameless woman's fault!

That was why Miles was distancing himself and no longer treating her with his usual tenderness.

Just wait. Miles belonged to her, and no one was going to snatch him away!
