Quinn let out a cold scoff. "If the kids want to see him, I'll let them see him. You have no right to control me. Compared to their biological father, Ethan acts a lot more like a real dad."
Miles felt a sharp squeeze in his chest, his voice strained. "No matter how much he 'acts' like it, he isn't their real father. You can't fake blood, and you can't sever it."
Quinn gave a chilling smile. "Miles, sometimes blood relations mean nothing, and those without blood ties are better than those with them. Aren't you and Leo Winter the perfect example?"
At the mention of Leo, a shadow of deep regret passed over Miles's face.
"I'm... no longer in contact with Jade Winter. She took Leo abroad. I won't help her anymore, and I won't ever see her again.
"The Yorks have completely severed ties with the Winters. There won't be any future collaborations."
"You don't need to explain this to me. I don't care what you do with Jade."
Having said her piece, Quinn turned to head back inside, but Miles reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Quinn, what... what do I have to do to make the kids accept me?
"Please don't let them call Ethan daddy. I'm their father."
Quinn pulled her hand from his grasp, stepping back, her eyes full of defensiveness.
"Miles, the fact that they don't want to call you daddy is exactly what you deserve."
A suffocating lump formed in his throat. His fingers curled inward, and a hint of desperation bled into his voice.
"Quinn, I'll... I'll let them accept me slowly. But do you remember that you still owe me a favor?"
The mention of the favor made Quinn stop in her tracks.
Back when she had nearly been taken away by that sleazy executive, he was the one who had shown up in the private room at The Aurora Club and saved her.
She had always kept that debt in mind. If he wanted to cash it in today, she would finally be free of him.
"What do you want to use it for?
"I'll say this right now: if it's an unreasonable demand, the answer is no."
Miles's eyes stung. "Don't worry. It's nothing like what you're imagining.
"During the family competition later... I'm going to participate with the kids. Have Ethan step down."
Quinn's fingers tightened, her eyes turning glacial.

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....
