She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 58

"Ma'am, you are completely out of line. How can you speak to Quinn that way?"

"If she says it's just work, then it really is just work. The last time she accompanied a client, he was so thankful that he took her straight to Valérie Boutique to buy her expensive designer dresses as a reward."

"Quinn and your husband really... truly... only have a working relationship. Please don't overthink this, and don't accuse her without any proof."

As she spoke, her eyes darted nervously, purposefully layering her words with suspicious hesitation.

It was a masterful implication, leaving the surrounding crowd's imagination to run wild.

The moment those words dropped, Mrs. Thorne's face, which had just begun to calm down, turned utterly venomous.

All her suppressed paranoia and insecurity flared up with a vengeance. She locked her eyes onto Quinn.

Her gaze was twisted with jealousy and rage. "You claim it's just work? If I hadn't shown up today, were you planning on manipulating my husband into buying you jewelry and designer clothes before dragging him to a hotel room?"

Quinn didn't bother defending herself, nor did she attempt to explain anything to Mrs. Thorne.

She knew trying to untangle the mess would only make her look guiltier. It was better to flip the narrative entirely.

*Smack!*

She delivered a vicious, ringing slap right across Jade's fake, hypocritical face. "Did you deliberately say those misleading things just to provoke her?"

*Smack!*

One wasn't enough. She slapped her again. "Did you really just 'run into me' here, or did you know I was here and orchestrate this whole thing with Mrs. Thorne beforehand?"

Quinn had picked up on a subtle clue when Mr. Thorne had spoken earlier.

Jade's sudden appearance confirmed her exact suspicion.

She was absolutely certain this malicious woman had pulled some dirty trick behind the scenes to aim Mrs. Thorne like a weapon at her.

Miles had just wrapped up a brief meeting and walked into the lobby to meet Jade, only to witness the chaos unfold.

His dark suit highlighted his tall, imposing frame, but his face was clouded with an overwhelming, suffocating rage. The air around him plummeted in temperature.

His jaw clenched, a sharp muscle feathering along his cheek. "Quinn, what the hell are you doing now?"

The murmuring crowd instantly fell dead silent, instinctively parting down the middle to give him a wide berth, terrified to even make eye contact.

Spotting him, the toxic malice in Jade's eyes was instantly replaced by fragile tears.

"Miles, you... you have to do something about Quinn. She walked out of the hotel with this man, and his wife started accusing her of being a homewrecker. I tried to step in and defend Quinn, but she just lashed out and hit me."

Hearing this, Miles's lips pressed into a tight line. His eyes were like twin pools of ice, locking onto Quinn as a crushing wave of pressure descended upon her.

"You cause a scene with your own lack of self-respect, and when Jade tries to help you, you assault her instead of thanking her?"
