Could it be that Quinn's loudmouth best friend was secretly Ethan's mistress?
Did Quinn set them up? Was she hooking up with her brother-in-law and introducing his cousin to her best friend?
Were both women scheming to marry into wealthy families?
The thought alone made his blood boil with excitement.
Even though their original plan failed, he never expected to stumble upon such juicy leverage.
"Quinn, did something happen?" Ethan asked.
"A maid told me my brother was looking for me, but I didn't see him when I got here. It's so weird."
That instantly put Ethan on high alert. He adjusted his glasses and scanned the area, catching a glimpse of a figure quickly hurrying away.
"Stop right there!"
Hearing the shout, Wesley didn't look back. He swiftly dashed through the corridor, slipped past the Orchid Pavilion, and escaped in the opposite direction.
Following his gaze, Quinn found the man's retreating back somewhat familiar.
Was that... Wesley? What was he doing here?
Noticing her shift in expression, Ethan asked, "Do you know that guy?"
"That was Wesley Winter. Jade's brother."
Ethan immediately realized what was happening, his eyes turning dark. "He might have lured you out here on purpose."
Quinn came to the same conclusion, her fingers curling into tight fists. "Jade must have sent him."
"You have to be careful from now on. If he dared to make a move at Evelyn's birthday banquet, they must have been planning this for a while. Good thing Luna suggested we come find you. She noticed you looked anxious and was worried something bad might happen, so I brought her over."
Quinn nodded, realizing how close a call it was. She tapped her daughter's nose and smiled. "Luna, you really are Mommy's lucky charm."
Luna lowered her voice. "Mommy, Daddy was the one who was worried. He's the one who brought me to find you."

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....
