Jade lunged forward and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, her voice sickeningly sweet. "Miles, stop fighting it. The door is locked. Unless someone calls for it, it won't open."
"You're in so much pain right now, and I'm willing to be your cure. Why do you keep pushing me away?"
Meanwhile, Macy stepped out into the hall to look for her brother. She spotted Julian Fox and Zachary Wells standing together, conversing in low tones.
She jogged over, asking warmly, "Julian, where's my brother? Wasn't he just with you guys?"
Zachary replied, "He was just talking to Jade Winter a moment ago. They should be over there."
Macy went with them to the lounge area where they had been, but Miles was nowhere to be found.
Even Jade was missing. Suddenly, a realization struck her. "Oh no. That silhouette I saw earlier really was Miles."
"Zack, Julian, hurry! Let's check the rooms. I saw Jade helping Miles into one of them earlier, and I'm terrified something awful is happening."
Inside the room, Miles's last shred of clarity was being steadily devoured by the drug. A blistering heat swept through his veins, draining him of any strength to push Jade away.
His vision darkened in waves, and his tense muscles trembled uncontrollably. The arm propping him up against the bed suddenly gave out.
Jade seized the opportunity to push him onto the mattress. "Miles, let me help you. You're going to suffer so much otherwise."
Her hands reached out to unbutton his shirt, revealing his sharp, sculpted chest flushed with an unnatural heat.
Miles's eyes were bloodshot, swirling with suppressed rage and disgust.
"Don't... don't touch me!"
Jade continued to explore his body, her voice teasing. "Miles, just relax and enjoy it!"
Miles's consciousness was slipping into chaos. The unbearable heat wrecked his body, his jaw clenched tight as heavy, agonized pants tore from his throat.
Just as this humiliating, ambiguous stalemate was about to reach its climax, a sharp click echoed through the room. The door lock had been forced open from the outside.
Macy burst into the room in a panic, with Zachary and Julian right behind her.
The scandalous, chaotic scene laid bare before them made Macy's pupils shrink in sheer horror.
She screamed, "Miles!"
Seeing her brother flushed red, his consciousness fading, and clearly in agony, her heart ached terribly, and a fierce anger flared up inside her.
"Jade, what the hell did you do to him?"
If it weren't for the fact that Jade had saved her life before, she would have slapped her across the face right then and there.
Startled by the sudden intrusion, Jade immediately dove under the covers, frantically pulling the sheets up to hide herself.
Jade avoided her gaze, hastily denying it. "Macy, Miles... he was just drunk. He got a little carried away."
Zachary and Julian supported Miles on either side. "Macy, let's get him to the hospital first."
Macy shot one last venomous glare at Jade. Worried sick about her brother, she held off on making a scene and quickly followed the men out.
Only the messy aftermath and an utterly defeated Jade remained in the bedroom.
She slowly pushed herself up from the carpet and sat on the edge of the bed. Her hands gripped the bedsheets so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
A surge of obsessive resentment flooded her eyes, making them rimmed with angry red.
She stared blankly at the door they had just left through, her throat tight as she muttered in low, manic frustration, "Why does the universe always have to be against me?"
"I was so close..."
She was just a hair's breadth away from finally sealing the deal with Miles.
But of course, they had to bust in at the very last second and ruin her perfectly laid plans.
The more she thought about it, the more her hatred grew. Her fingers dug harder into the fabric, and a dark, suffocating bitterness churned in her chest, consuming her with absolute, crazy obsession.

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....
