"Sir..."
Gail and Jack exchanged anxious glances. The young madam would definitely be upset if she found out.
Miles noticed them frozen in place and his gaze darkened. "What, are my orders optional now?"
"Sir... n-no."
Jack shook his head at Gail, signaling her to hand over the shopping bag and not defy the young master's wishes.
Jade arched an eyebrow, happily accepting the bag. She pulled out the Birkin and immediately draped it over her shoulder.
Her voice was sickeningly sweet. "Miles, this bag goes perfectly with my outfit. Quinn usually carries a backpack anyway, so it's normal that this wouldn't suit her. I'll keep this one, and later I'll pick out a nice little backpack that actually fits her style."
Miles was in no mood to listen to her chatter. His tone was irritable. "I have work to handle. Go play with Leo."
"Okay, Miles. Go do your work."
...
Quinn slipped her backpack on and headed for the door. Gail tried to stop her. "Mrs. York, you just got back. Won't you stay for dinner?"
Quinn had purposely chosen this time, assuming Miles would still be at the corporate office. She wanted to avoid him entirely, but to her dismay, she had run into him anyway.
"I just came back to grab a few things. You all go ahead and eat, don't worry about me."
Jade plastered a fake smile across her face. "Quinn, you aren't leaving just because Leo and I are here, are you? How is Miles going to view me if you do that?"
"Jade, I have the million dollars your brother paid me in compensation. I'm taking my best friend out for a massive feast. Why on earth would I stay here and force myself to eat with someone who kills my appetite?"
"You—"
Jade's face turned several shades of green. Forcing down her mounting fury, she closed the distance between them.
That sentence was a swift, brutal strike directly to Quinn's heart. Her chest heaved with indignation, but she was completely speechless!
Jade was malicious and shameless, but she wasn't wrong.
Quinn's brother didn't just use her; he bled her dry.
Her supposed bond with AJ was lightyears away from the protective loyalty Wesley showed his sister. It was a chilling, undeniable truth.
Thinking of her worthless brother going back to groveling for Chloe, Quinn's fingers tightened into a white-knuckled grip on her backpack straps. She turned and walked out, refusing to waste another breath arguing with Jade.
Jade's eyes gleamed with triumphant satisfaction. She called out to Quinn's retreating back with a smug smile:
"By the way, Miles told Leo that the fairytale castle here at Regency Bay belongs entirely to him now. So don't even think about bringing that little goddaughter of yours around to upset Miles."
Quinn didn't look back. She didn't need the reminder. She would never bring Luna to Regency Bay again anyway. Her precious Luna didn't need his stupid fairytale castle!

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....
