"Why did I have them in secret? Why did I hide their identities? Isn't that all thanks to you?"
A cloud of confusion mixed with the raw emotion in Miles's eyes. He had barely gotten two sentences out, and she was already pinning the blame entirely on him.
"What do you mean? You never once told me you were pregnant! If you had just told me..."
Quinn let out a dark, bitter laugh. "God, Miles, you're so fake. You put on such a good act! Do I really need to remind you of the conversation you and Colin had in the study four years ago?"
She would never, ever forget it. Standing outside that door, listening to the agonizing, bone-chilling words he and his cousin had exchanged.
"What did I say? Be clear."
Miles genuinely couldn't remember a random conversation from four years ago, nor could he fathom what horrific thing he could have possibly done.
What could he have said that made this woman hide her pregnancy from the entire York family, silently give birth to his twins, and refuse to ever let him know?
Remembering his contemptuous, disgusted tone from that day, Quinn felt the phantom sensation of her heart being crushed and shredded all over again. Her entire body began to tremble.
Yara, who had been listening from outside, slammed the door open and stormed past the privacy screen.
She shot Miles a look as sharp as an ice pick. "Miles, you absolute bastard! You have no idea the hope she carried in her heart when she wanted to tell you she was pregnant."
"She thought that even if you didn't love her, you wouldn't be completely heartless once you knew she was carrying your child. But you were! And it wasn't just that."
"You sat in that study with your cousin, mocking her, degrading her, looking down on her! You explicitly said that a child of Miles York would never, ever come from the belly of a maid's daughter."
"You said that even if she did get pregnant, you'd force her to get rid of it!"
"All Quinn wanted was to protect her babies. She didn't want them to know they had a cold-blooded father who wanted to strip away their right to even be born before they took their first breath! How is that a crime?"
The color drained entirely from Miles's face, leaving him ashen. It felt as though a boulder had been lodged in his throat, making it impossible to breathe or speak.
He clutched his violently aching chest, and after an agonizing silence, managed to choke out, "I... I didn't..."
Yara scoffed in disgust. "Of course you'd deny it now. But your years of neglect, disgust, and mockery speak for themselves."
"You watched your mother force her to her knees to be punished. You watched your sister bully her relentlessly. You stood there and watched with cold, indifferent eyes. Doesn't that prove everything?"
A heavy, crushing pain radiated through Miles's chest, the metallic taste of blood rising in his throat.

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....
