Quinn tried to pull her wrist away. "Miles, I already told you Ethan and I are just friends. Why are you always so overbearing? Do you have to control who I befriend, too?"
Friends?
Do friends talk on the phone every day, and do friends wrap their arms around her waist?
Do friends carry Luna and Caleb around like a family of four out for dinner?
They might as well be boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Quinn, don't see Ethan Leigh again. He's my cousin. If you don't care about your reputation, I care about mine."
"Miles, shut up! Don't talk to me about reputation. Do you even have one?"
Miles found her sharp tongue incredibly irritating. He forcefully pulled her into his arms and kissed her hard.
Trapped in his embrace, Quinn couldn't push him away, so she resentfully bit his lip.
The taste of blood spread, and the man let out a groan of pain before releasing her.
"Slap!"
Quinn raised her hand and delivered a stinging slap to his handsome face.
The veins on Miles's forehead bulged, his dark eyes burning with a dangerous fire. "Quinn, you've really crossed the line!"
Quinn didn't say a word, turning to leave.
The man threw out a warning, "I told you to keep your distance from Ethan. Did you hear me?"
Quinn didn't want to listen to his nonsense. She pulled out a tissue and wiped her mouth in sheer disgust.
The man behind her was infuriated by the gesture. With dark fury in his eyes, he took out his phone and made a call.
A few minutes later, Quinn emerged from the restroom and immediately received a call from her older brother, AJ.
As soon as the call connected, AJ's agonizing screams echoed through the speaker.
"Quinn, save me!"
"Ah, my legs!"
Quinn couldn't care about anything else at this point. She rushed after him and grabbed his arm.
She could ignore her brother's gambling debts, but she couldn't let him lose his legs because of her.
Miles looked down at his arm being held by her and suddenly laughed.
Just moments ago, she had been desperate to shake him off, and now...
"Miles, we live in a society with laws. If you do this, I'll call the cops. What right do you have to send people to beat up my brother?"
Miles pulled his arm free, his voice ice-cold. "Because he owes me money and refuses to pay. Because he goes around using my name to throw his weight around and ruin my reputation. Is that reason enough for you?"
Hearing this, all the words Quinn wanted to say got stuck in her throat, her momentum weakening significantly.
"Miles, the money he owes... I said I would pay it back. You can't break his legs."
"If you want to beg for your brother's mercy, then let's see how you behave."
Quinn grabbed his hand again, her voice losing its aggressive edge. "I'll... keep my distance from him."

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....
