*'Whenever Ms. Winter and your wife had a conflict, you... you always unconditionally took Ms. Winter's side and scolded your wife. You constantly forced her to apologize to Ms. Winter, humiliating her. I caught her crying alone in the storage room so many times.'*
Jack the butler echoed the sentiment, stating that his treatment of his wife could only be described as poor. She used to personally brew nutritious soups for him every day, single-handedly curing his terrible stomach ulcers.
And how did he repay her? He just threw money at her, drawing a cold, transactional line between them.
Miles had honestly believed he had treated her well... yet in the eyes of everyone else, he was a cold, heartless monster who had subjected Quinn to endless humiliation.
A crushing wave of guilt and remorse swallowed him whole. No wonder she hid the pregnancy and gave birth in secret.
He had been a complete and utter fool. He had broken her in so many ways.
After hearing all of that last night, he hadn't been able to close his eyes for a single second.
Seeing his boss in such a state, Tristan's heart ached. He hurried over to help him up. "Sir... what happened to you?"
Miles pushed him away. "I don't need your help."
Watching the scene unfold, Hunter was entirely at a loss for words.
After a moment's hesitation, he offered a quiet reminder. "Mr. York, didn't you say you were going to see the twins today? If you show up looking like this, you're going to terrify them."
The mention of Caleb and Luna finally triggered a reaction. Right. He had to go see Caleb and Luna today.
He dragged himself up from the floor and headed straight for the bathroom.
"What time is it? I... I need to go see them."
Tristan quickly pulled out a fresh suit for him, while Hunter officially canceled the day's scheduled meetings with the local city officials.
Given the boss's current mental state, there was no way he was going to be negotiating with the mayor anytime soon.
Richard York received the update back in Fairmont and immediately called. "Hunter, what is going on? Why is Miles suddenly clearing his schedule?"
Terrified to tell the truth, Hunter improvised. "Chairman York, Mr. York... he came down with a bad flu. He's very unwell today."
Richard frowned in concern. "The flu? How is Tristan doing his job? Has he seen a doctor?"
"He... just woke up. We've called for a doctor."
Worried about his son's health, Richard relented. "Then make sure he gets proper rest. Nothing is more important than his health."
"As for the joint project with the Aurelia city officials, I'll contact the mayor directly. This landmark project between Aurelia and Evergreen City is our top priority for next year. We cannot afford any mistakes. Since Miles is unwell, I need you to keep a close eye on everything."
Hunter wiped the sweat from his brow. "Understood, Chairman."

The readers' comments on the novel: She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On
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....
