The paranoid, deep-seated hatred flashed across Serena's eyes so fast it was almost imperceptible, before her face smoothly transitioned back into a mask of helpless misery.
Of course her parents and brother were willing to accept her—because she had successfully pinned all the filthy, sordid details of her past onto the name 'Quinn Avery'. They had no idea she used to work as a hostess in a sleazy bar.
They only knew she had lived a rough life; they were completely blind to her shameful history.
And that was exactly why Miles' wealthy inner circle gossiped about Quinn's supposed "promiscuous and chaotic" private life.
When Serena found out that Quinn had somehow managed to become Miles York's secret contract wife, an obsessive urge to destroy her had taken root.
Coincidentally, Serena needed an intimate reconstructive surgery to secure her own high-society marriage, so she simply hijacked Quinn's identity.
She had been intensely jealous of Quinn since they were kids. Quinn was effortlessly pretty and got top grades.
The boys in their class were always slipping her secret love notes, calling her their "little ray of sunshine."
They both came from the absolute bottom of the barrel. They were both struggling in the mud.
So why did Quinn get all the love, kindness, and popularity, while Serena was treated like human garbage, subjected to endless eyerolls and disgust?
Why did Quinn get to walk away clean and flawless years later, marrying into Fairmont's most powerful family as Mrs. York?
While Serena was permanently chained to her dirty, traumatizing past, unable to scrub the filth off no matter how hard she tried?
Jealousy wrapped around her chest like a poisonous vine, suffocating her.
She wanted to completely obliterate Quinn's reputation. She wanted to dump every single one of her own dirty secrets onto Quinn's lap.
Let Quinn be the one to suffer the disgust, the slut-shaming, and the verbal abuse.
Let Miles be disgusted by her. Let him desperately want to throw her away and terminate their contract.
She thought her flawless plan had worked perfectly—she just hadn't expected Quinn to figure it out so quickly and catch her red-handed.
"Quinn, the Wells family may have brought me back, but I didn't grow up with them. The bond isn't that deep, except maybe with my brother."
Quinn wasn't surprised by the sudden mask slip. She met Serena's venomous glare head-on.
"Am I being ruthless, or are you just malicious?"
"The Mr. and Mrs. Wells I remember are nothing like the greedy, transaction-obsessed people you just described. To manipulate me into feeling sorry for you, you threw your own flesh and blood under the bus and painted them as cold-blooded monsters."
"If you refuse to take responsibility, and if you refuse to write a formal apology admitting you stole my identity for your surgery, I am calling the police right now."
Serena's eyes nearly bugged out of her skull as she lunged forward, trying to snatch Quinn's phone. "Don't you dare!"
Quinn swiftly stepped back, easily evading her. Serena stopped reaching and suddenly let out a sharp, mocking laugh.
"Quinn, I highly recommend you think this through. If you call the cops on me, I'll have your deadbeat dad thrown in a cell right alongside me. Did you really think I didn't have leverage?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Haha. How exactly do you think I got my hands on your pristine ID card?"

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....
