Quinn felt as though a volcano was rumbling in her chest, right on the verge of a catastrophic eruption.
She shielded her son behind her, her gaze so frigid it could make a person shiver.
"Jade, your son hurled insults, screamed at my children, and physically chased them. Caleb is simply stating the facts, and you have the audacity to accuse my child of being poorly raised?"
"Go discipline your spoiled, aggressive, foul-mouthed son before you ever dare lecture me about parenting. You have absolutely no right to point a finger at my children!"
Jade's face tightened, her nails digging into her palms, completely consumed by her hatred for Quinn.
But with Miles standing right there, she had no choice but to play the pitiful, severely bullied victim.
She lowered her head, looking as though she were being unjustly berated in public, her eyes red, bearing a monumental grievance.
"Miles, the security camera only shows Leo chasing them to play, but they're twisting it into him attacking them. You have to be fair to Leo."
Caleb's dark eyes were crystal clear and utterly freezing behind his mask. He spoke with flawless logic.
"The camera might not have caught the video, but my smartwatch recorded the audio of the entire thing."
With that, he tapped the screen of his smartwatch and played the recording he had captured.
Leo's vicious, entitled voice echoed from the tiny speaker: *'It's you again, you little outcast! And you, you ugly freak! Who said you could play in the castle my dad built for me?'*
Then came the voice of Lily the maid: *'Leo, Luna and Caleb are Mr. York's guests. You shouldn't say things like that.'*
Leo's vicious response followed immediately: *'Kick them out! They don't deserve to play here. This is my castle!'*
Jade's face drained of all color. She lunged forward, trying to snatch Caleb's watch to shut off the recording.
"That's not what happened..."
Yara violently shoved her back. Jade stumbled, putting on a show of almost falling to the ground.
The audio continued to play. Now, it was Luna's voice.

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....
Can you make Ethan be the endgame? That Miles is a total jerk....
