She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 56

"Then what exactly are you doing here?"

Quinn gestured vaguely. "I... I was just taking a walk near the nursing home to clear my head. Is that a crime?"

"Oh, really?"

Miles let out a cold laugh and snapped his fingers.

Hunter immediately pulled out his phone and sent a message to Quinn's SwiftSwap account.

*Ding!*

A notification popped up on Quinn's screen: [I see you, Mrs. York.]

Boom!

The message exploded in her ears like a thunderclap, leaving a ringing in her head.

HJ was... Hunter?

Her face went pale, her finger trembling as she pointed at Hunter, ready to curse him out.

But when she met Miles's dark, mocking gaze—looking at her as if she were the punchline of a joke—she froze.

All her anger evaporated, her shoulders slumping in defeat as she fell silent.

"Are you really that desperate for cash, Quinn?"

She had been caught red-handed. Her cheeks burned with intense humiliation.

"You are so incredibly cheap and greedy. Taking the tablet I specifically bought for Luna and hawking it online—is there no limit to your greed?"

Quinn's fingernails dug into her palms, her chest tightening with a suffocating weight.

This tablet was meant to be a matching sibling set. He bought the boy's version for his childhood sweetheart's son, and tossed the leftover girl's version to Luna.

She clenched her jaw, forcing down the fiery indignation and bitter resentment boiling inside her.

Why should her daughter be forced into a matching set with Jade's kid?

Why should her precious girl have to settle for someone else's scraps and be tied to this messy situation?

The more she thought about it, the colder her heart grew, filled with disgust and frustration.

She looked up, her eyes flashing with icy defiance. "Luna didn't like it. She doesn't want gifts from a grumpy man who yells at people. I'm selling it so I can buy her a different one. What's the problem?"

Star-Lite Grand Hotel.

Jade was meeting with a Mr. Smith in the hotel lobby, while Miles and Hunter were in a nearby conference room, preparing to join her shortly.

Suddenly, Jade caught sight of Quinn stepping out of the elevator alongside a middle-aged man.

Jade's eyes narrowed sharply. She whipped out her phone and snapped a series of photos.

She recognized the balding man. He was connected to a relative of hers.

His wife suffered from severe bipolar disorder, making her incredibly sensitive, volatile, and deeply paranoid about her husband cheating.

Jade immediately dialed the relative, forwarded the photos, and urged her to make sure the man's wife saw them.

The relative seemed to catch on to the scheme but didn't ask questions, simply replying with an 'OK.'

A triumphant smirk curled on Jade's lips. The show was about to begin.

*I finally caught you slipping, Quinn.*

*This time, I'm going to ruin your reputation and make you the laughingstock of the city!*
