Her immediate reaction was that Quinn had staged the whole thing.
"Making her driver take a dangerous shortcut to play the victim? Unbelievable."
Miles recalled how her pitiful act had successfully tugged at his heartstrings just yesterday.
Determined not to fall for it again, he slowly pulled his hand away from the door handle.
Seeing his silence and total lack of concern, Jade relaxed.
The tiny seed of doubt in her heart completely evaporated, replaced by a gleam of satisfaction.
She had been overthinking things.
Quinn was practically a nobody. There was no way a man like Miles could ever genuinely care for her.
Realizing calling another rideshare would take too long, Quinn decided her best bet was to drag herself to the nearest subway station.
If she hustled, she might just be a little late, but she could still make her mother's appointment.
However, her body was already running on empty. Between her lingering illness and the trauma of the crash, she swayed dangerously on the edge of the sidewalk.
"Ma'am, are you sure you're alright? You can barely stand."
"I... I'm fine..."
The moment the words left her mouth, her vision pitched black, and she collapsed violently forward.
"Ma'am!"
Tristan, whose eyes had been glued to the rearview mirror, instantly hit the brakes. "Boss, Ms. Avery... she just passed out."
"Miles, she's definitely faking it, right?"
Macy crossed her arms in disgust. "She's just playing the sympathy card. Do not go out there."
Miles pinched the bridge of his nose. Unable to just leave her bleeding on the asphalt, he reached for the door again.
Just as he pushed it open, he caught a glimpse in the mirror: the rideshare driver had frantically flagged down a passing car and was currently hauling Quinn's limp body into the backseat.
His hand froze on the handle. He didn't push the door any further.
Tristan saw it too. "That driver is a good guy. He got her into a car, probably headed straight for the ER. Should we tail them, Boss?"
...
Quinn finally regained consciousness with an IV dripping steadily into her arm. A nurse approached and handed over her phone.
"Here's your phone. It's been ringing off the hook for the past few hours."
They were all missed calls from Serenity Nursing Home. Panic spiked through Quinn as she checked the time—it was already three in the afternoon. Her mother's exam...
"Nurse, I need to leave right now."
"Ma'am, you haven't fully recovered. You need to stay for observation."
"I'm fine. I take full responsibility, but my mother needs me right this second."
Ignoring all medical advice, Quinn discharged herself, booked another ride on her app, and raced straight for the nursing home.
When she finally burst into the room, she stopped dead in her tracks. Gail was sitting dutifully beside her mother's bed.
She stared in absolute shock. "Gail, what... what are you doing here?"

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....
