She Walked Away With His Twins, While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 60

He was forcing her to grovel publicly. It was a complete trampling of her dignity. How could she not feel a deep, agonizing hatred for him in this moment?

Watching the resilient, painful endurance in Quinn's eyes, Mrs. Thorne suddenly felt a pang of empathy, recognizing the same helpless frustration she often felt herself.

She stepped forward, placing herself in front of Quinn.

"I... I just remembered, honey. Someone messaged me pictures of you and this woman stepping out of the elevator, along with the hotel address."

"Whoever did this had nasty intentions. Do you think they have some sort of vendetta against Ms. Avery?"

As she spoke, her gaze drifted pointedly toward Jade.

Hearing Mrs. Thorne's defense, Quinn quietly let out a breath of relief. She had finally gotten the woman to step up.

By pulling back her own aggression and suffering in silence, she had successfully triggered Mrs. Thorne's sympathy.

"Jade, Mrs. Thorne just admitted someone texted her those photos. Was it you?"

Jade immediately went on the defensive. "Quinn, you're slandering me! I don't even know Mrs. Thorne!"

Catching the panic in her eyes, Quinn gave a faint smile. "If you can prove you had absolutely nothing to do with this, forget groveling for forgiveness, I'd even crawl out of this hotel if you wanted me to."

"But first, we need to know exactly who tipped off Mrs. Thorne."

Jade's heart plummeted, panic flashing through her eyes as her knuckles turned white.

"Mrs. Thorne, if they have your contact info, it means you know them. Think carefully—who is it?"

Mrs. Thorne kept her eyes on Jade. "This person... is a family connection. Otherwise, how would they even know my husband?"

Quinn latched onto the clue. "Take a look at their social media page. You might find a connection."

Jade's face turned ghost-white, her mind racing with sheer panic.

She had just gone out for a lavish dinner with her relative a few days ago, and the woman had posted pictures of them together praising her.
