She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 575

Miles York didn't offer her a shred of pity; his cold gaze landed on her face, as if seeing the person in front of him clearly for the very first time.

He didn't know why she was so entirely different from the Jade he remembered. No, she hadn't just changed—she had become completely unrecognizable, a total stranger.

Or... had she always been this way, and he had simply been too blind to see it?

Complex emotions churned in the depths of his eyes: heartache, disappointment.

There was the bitter chill of being played for a fool, mixed with the self-deprecating realization of his own years of blind loyalty.

A faint exhaustion settled over his features. The softness and sympathy he had wasted on her for so long now just felt laughable.

When exactly had he stopped trusting her?

And when had seeing her endless, tearful victim act started making him sick to his stomach?

Was it at the banquet?

He had known she set Quinn up, yet she still dared to stand in front of him, playing the frail, bullied victim.

And back then, he had actually forced Quinn to apologize to her.

Jade covered her face, sobbing quietly, playing the part of the helpless girl with nowhere to turn.

"Miles... I... I admit I was wrong to do it, but... I did it all for you!"

"You suddenly went cold on me, ignoring me. You wouldn't even pay attention to Leo. I... I didn't know what else to do..."

Miles pinched the bridge of his nose and snapped, "Shut up!"

"The collaboration agreement between the Winter Group and the York Group will be completely revised. The extra two percent I gave your family will be returned in full."

"And don't ever come to me with Leo's issues again. I refuse to be the guardian of a child being raised on a foundation of lies!"

With that, Miles turned and walked away before Jade could utter another word.

Jade tried to chase after him, but Tristan Vance extended an arm, blocking her path. "Ms. Winter, the boss doesn't want to see you. I suggest you reconsider your next move."

The scene felt painfully familiar. Hunter had once said the exact same words to her.

Jade's legs gave out, her body swaying as if she might collapse.

Yara urged her to call Dominic Grant. Going by standard processing times, the finalized divorce papers should be ready any day now.

Quinn was tired of waiting too, so she gave Dominic a call.

Dominic informed her that the divorce decree would be finalized tomorrow and he would deliver it to her personally.

Hearing the news, the invisible tension Ethan Leigh had been carrying for days finally snapped. A warm, unrestrained smile blossomed across his handsome features.

Yara was thrilled as well. "Quinn, tomorrow is liberation day! Once those papers are in your hands, we are booking our tickets straight to Aurelia."

Ethan checked the distance between Aurelia and Fairmont on his phone. A little over a thousand kilometers—not too bad.

A two-to-three-hour flight, or a six-to-seven-hour high-speed train ride. Visiting them would be easy.

A change of scenery was exactly what she needed, completely eliminating the risk of bumping into the Yorks in Fairmont.

Meanwhile, Dominic Grant held the two official divorce decrees in hand. His first stop was Regency Bay.

A strange gloom seemed to have settled over Regency Bay recently. Even Jack and Gail walked around with heavy worry etched into their brows.
