She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 527

Sensing his mother's emotional turmoil, Caleb tightly squeezed her hand to comfort her.

It was as if he was saying, *Don't be sad, Mommy. I'm fine.*

Miles furrowed his brows. "Mom, it's not. His condition is just a deficiency in trace elements. He just needs supplements."

Macy let out a sarcastic chuckle. "Figures. Being a genius comes with a price!"

She had been slightly envious earlier. Why was a three-year-old so ridiculously smart?

Now, the envy was gone. The old saying was true—when God opens a window, He closes a door.

"Enough," Evelyn interjected. "Let's eat. None of the guests have touched their silverware yet because they're waiting for the host to speak. Richard, go up and say a few words."

"Understood, Mom."

Richard stepped onto the stage. The MC respectfully handed him the microphone, and after a few polite remarks, the guests erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Jade watched as Quinn and those two brats sat at the main table, while she was relegated to a side table and Leo had been sent away. Her eyes burned with resentment!

The worst part was that her plan had been completely derailed by Ethan. She dug her nails into her palms.

After the banquet, Jade gracefully navigated through the scattered glasses and lingering scent of wine until she reached Alastair Sterling.

Wearing a perfectly polite smile, she maintained a modest posture.

She gave a slight nod, greeting him with the respect of a junior. "Mr. Sterling, it's been a while!"

Alastair looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he replied warmly.

"Jade, isn't it? It has been a long time. So you're back as well."

Jade offered a faint smile, her fingers gently adjusting the shawl draped over her shoulders. She spoke casually, as if just making small talk.

"Yes, I haven't been back for long."

"I heard your son also recently returned from abroad?"

At the mention of Ethan, Alastair let out a hearty laugh. "Yes, he's finished his studies and is ready to take over the Sterling Group."

Jade's words were laced with hidden hooks, casually dropping a bombshell.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Sterling. You're already a grandfather."
