Yara gritted her teeth. "That absolute scumbag. How dare he show up at the school?"
The two kids' eyes widened, staring at her in shock. Realizing her slip of the tongue and not wanting to set a bad example, she awkwardly forced a laugh to change the subject. "I was just thinking about a scumbag from a TV show I watched. Accidental outburst.
"Luna, Caleb, go fetch your grandmother for dinner. I need to talk to your mom for a second."
"Okay."
Yara pulled Quinn into a room and shut the door.
Out on the balcony, Ethan was taking a call. Hearing Alastair Sterling's words, his heart sank.
"What? The York Corporation wants to partner with the Sterling Group on the landmark projects in Aurelia and Evergreen City?"
"That's right. Your uncle called just now. From now on, you'll be traveling frequently between Aurelia and Evergreen City.
"Don't worry about things over here in Fairmont. These old bones can still hold the fort for you for a few more years."
Ethan's grip on his phone tightened. He immediately understood. This was Miles's ploy to force him out of Aurelia.
And the worst part was, he couldn't find a single valid reason to refuse. The Sterling Group and the Yorks had always done business together. Now that the other party was actively inviting them to share in a highly lucrative project, there was no logical way to say no.
The board of directors would never allow him to reject it.
Inside the room, Yara looked worried.
"Quinn, what exactly is that jerk planning?
"If he's trying to take the kids away, we'll fight him tooth and nail!"
Quinn's brows were furrowed with worry. She didn't want to drag Yara into this, and she knew they couldn't take Miles head-on. They simply didn't have the power.
Her only option was to temporarily leverage Miles's guilt to stall his attempts to fight for custody.
But she knew it was only a temporary fix.
"Yara, he said he wants to take the kids out to dinner tomorrow and warned me not to stop him."
"I'm going with you. That jerk clearly didn't get chewed out enough last time. If he's looking for a fight, I'll give him one!"
The doorbell rang. The Nanny set down her chores and went to answer it.
Looking up at the towering man, she asked in confusion, "Excuse me... who are you looking for?"

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....
