Hearing his boss stubbornly refuse to admit the truth, Hunter rolled his eyes on the other end of the line.
"Mr. York? You... you literally manufactured an entire excuse. Isn't it obvious you don't want to divorce her?"
Struck right in his hidden vulnerabilities, Miles's expression turned as dark as ink. "Hunter, it sounds to me like you're itching for a one-way ticket to the mines in Ethiopia?"
Hunter instantly panicked, his survival instincts kicking into overdrive.
"Boss, I... I misspoke! I was totally out of line. I swear I'll keep my mouth shut from now on."
Not wanting anyone to misunderstand his intentions, Miles offered an incredibly rare explanation to his assistant.
"I refused to let her sign because the entire corporation's credibility is resting on this marriage. The partnership with Lyonne Global is critical. Why would I need an excuse? You're my executive assistant; you should know this better than anyone. If I ever hear the word 'excuse' out of your mouth again, pack your bags for Ethiopia!"
Hunter whimpered his apologies. "M-Mr. York, I'd never dare. It's my fault. Please calm down, sir."

Jade sent Macy several messages, all of which went completely ignored.
It wasn't until she saw Luke Lawrence's post about watching a race at the track with Cody Garrett that she realized what was happening.
She knew Julian Fox was there, too. Guessing Macy would immediately flock there upon seeing the post, she rushed over.
"Julian, have some water."
Jade offered him a bottle of Evian, but Julian completely ignored it, grabbing his own bottle and twisting off the cap.
Luke and Cody warmly greeted her. "Jade, you made it!"
"Yeah, I saw you guys were racing, so I came to cheer you on."
Still furious about being manipulated, Macy intentionally ignored her, pretending she didn't exist.
After exchanging pleasantries with Luke and Cody, Jade approached Macy with a gentle, graceful smile.
"Macy."
Macy hadn't planned on acknowledging her, but remembering how Jade had blocked that falling billboard for her, she offered a cold, deadpan, "Jade."
Luke chimed in, "Jade, I saved these seats for us. Miles said he was too busy to make it today."
Macy hated the seating arrangement but kept her mouth shut, deliberately choosing a spot as far away from Jade as possible.
"Nobody beats Silvermoon!"
After the race, Julian struck a pose by his car. His phone vibrated with a call from Miles.
Hearing Miles wanted him to meet at The Skyview Lounge, Julian was stunned. Miles York initiating a drinking session?
The sun really must have risen in the west.
He walked over, briefly informed Luke and Cody's group, and got into his car to leave.
Macy looked on, utterly crestfallen. She hadn't even gotten a photo with him yet, and he was already leaving?
"Julian, where are you going? You just won, aren't you going to celebrate with the boys?" Cody complained, feeling slightly slighted.
"Cody, Miles asked me to grab a drink at The Skyview Lounge. I can't exactly say no to him, can I?"
The revelation left the group stunned. They couldn't quite process the idea of Miles actively inviting anyone out for drinks.
Hearing that Miles was heading to The Skyview Lounge, a calculating gleam flickered in Jade's eyes.

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....
