She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 579

Zack's small birthday gathering was hosted in the garden; it wasn't a massive affair, mostly consisting of family friends and people he had grown up with.

At a glance, the crowd was entirely young elites and fresh faces.

Julian, Luke Lawrence, Cody Garrett, and Jade Winter's clique had already arrived.

"Happy birthday, Zack!"

"Thank you!"

After Jade, Cody, and Luke handed over their gifts, Serena strolled over.

"Hi Cody, Luke. Hi Jade."

"Wow, Serena, you look stunning today."

During Evelyn's birthday banquet, Jade and Luke's group had officially been introduced to Serena.

Although the group secretly looked down on this half-baked, suddenly-discovered sister of the Wells family, they humored her because she was sweet-talking and generous with her compliments.

Jade perfectly maintained her gentle, kindhearted persona, pretending to be on wonderful terms with her.

But Serena, an absolute master at reading a room, easily saw right through Jade's fake sincerity.

Still, Serena was equally skilled at pretending. As long as no one stepped on her toes, she could play blind.

A sweet, soft smile bloomed on Serena's face. Her tone was earnest, laced with a hint of admiration:

"Really? Thank you, Jade! But when it comes to beauty, I could never compare to you.

I've always been so jealous of your looks. You have such an incredible aura; the second you stand here, you capture everyone's attention."

She tilted her head slightly as she spoke, looking like the picture of innocent charm.

Jade offered a modest, impeccably polite smile in return.

Zack's social circle mostly consisted of medical families. Several refined, well-mannered men were already glancing their way.

With Quinn out of the picture, Jade was undeniably the most gorgeous woman in the room.

Noticing the attention drifting her way, Jade kept her soft smile perfectly intact.

Miles and his sister arrived next. The butler enthusiastically escorted the siblings inside.

"Julian!"

The moment Macy walked in, she spotted Julian looking sharp in a tailored suit, clinking wine glasses with some friends.

"Miles is here."

Unsurprisingly, Miles's arrival instantly made him the center of attention.

Miles was dressed in a bespoke charcoal suit over a burgundy shirt. He radiated a reserved, untouchable arrogance, his expression entirely unreadable.

Knowing Zack and Quinn were close, Julian had expected her to show up for the birthday. When he didn't see her, he lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"Did you not invite Quinn?"

Zack kept his voice down. "Quinn already left Fairmont."

"Wait, what? Why did she leave?"

Julian only knew the divorce was in progress; he had no idea it was finalized and that Quinn had already skipped town.

"Yeah. She came to the hospital the day before yesterday to say goodbye. Even brought me a little gift."

They hadn't spoken loudly, but the second Miles heard Quinn's name, his ears practically perked up on instinct.

Hearing that she had gone out of her way to personally say goodbye to Zack—and even gave him a gift—Miles's fingers tightened ruthlessly around the stem of his wine glass.

A dark storm brewed in his eyes as a wave of cold, bitter laughter echoed in his chest.

That heartless woman. He had given her twenty million and several properties as compensation.

She took it all without uttering a single word of thanks.

She hadn't even sent a text before she left. Just vanished without a trace.
