She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 424

Miles completely missed the subtext of her words, assuming she was just making excuses.

He had no idea she was referring to Leo.

The stifling frustration in his chest grew heavier. He tugged at his collar. "Quinn, Grandma dotes on you, and this is how you repay her?"

In her agitation, Quinn changed her angle. "Your parents don't want two unrelated kids showing up and ruining the grand birthday gala they've so carefully orchestrated. You should just bring the people they actually want to see."

Seeing that she was still refusing, Miles figured she was just trying to posture for leverage. A dark undercurrent swirled in his eyes.

His tone was detached, devoid of overt arrogance, yet every word dripped with the inherent privilege of his status.

"How about this? Talk to Yara and Caleb's parents. I'll pay for the kids to attend the banquet and act as little lucky charms for the birthday celebration. Surely that works?"

Hearing this, Quinn's eyes flared with rage, her chest heaving. "Miles, I know you're the crown prince of Fairmont with more money than God, but you are crossing a line!"

"Not everything in this world can be bought, especially not familial affection."

Miles dismissed her outrage, assuming she was simply looking for a graceful way to back down. A sarcastic smirk curved his lips.

"Heh... I just don't want to owe them anything. What's wrong with that?"

"Weren't you the one who wanted clear boundaries? I offered to be Luna's godfather, and you refused.

Now that I've dropped that idea and am generously offering to hire Luna and her cousin to attend Grandma's banquet, you're still standing in the way. Tell me, Quinn, who's the one crossing a line here?"

Quinn had originally been on the fence, but hearing his arrogant proposition, she clenched her fists tightly.

It seemed Grandma Evelyn was going to be disappointed. Luna and Caleb definitely wouldn't be attending her birthday gala now.

She swept a chilling, disappointed gaze over him. "Miles, you will always be this arrogant, insolent, and impossibly full of yourself. You will never understand what the word 'respect' means."

"If you want those kids at the banquet, learn some basic respect first!"

With that, she hailed a passing cab and left.

"Ms. Avery actually hadn't rejected the idea. She was probably just hesitating and needed to go home and discuss it with Ms. Chase. The kids might have very well agreed to come.

But your arrogant tone just now didn't win her over at all. In fact, it pushed her completely away."

"You... made it worse. If the madam finds out, she'll be absolutely devastated!"

Miles's face instantly turned pitch-black. When had he been arrogant?

Born into a top-tier dynasty, every word and action of his carried the innate prestige cultivated by generations of wealth.

This demeanor wasn't intentional arrogance; it was simply the aura of a man who had lived his entire life at the very peak of society. It was so ingrained that he didn't even notice it himself.

For Hunter to say he had spoken to Quinn with a condescending and arrogant expression...

The man looked genuinely stunned, completely oblivious.

He was thoroughly bewildered. When had he ever been arrogant?
