Yara, Hunter, and Tristan were watching from the VIP room downstairs. Seeing Ethan come down alone, Yara set down her sunflower seeds and walked over.
"Ethan, weren't... weren't you supposed to be playing in the games? Why did you come down? Is the competition over already?"
"No, they're still taking photos. I... just remembered I have some work matters to handle, so I'm heading out early."
Before Yara could say another word, Ethan had already turned and headed downstairs.
"What's going on?"
Hunter seemed to have pieced it together. Ethan's expression had looked incredibly gloomy.
Clearly, his boss had pulled some kind of maneuver to make Quinn choose him for the games, giving him the perfect opportunity to bond with the kids.
"Ms. Chase, Mr. Leigh said he had work, so he went ahead."
Yara shot him a dirty look. "Are you just thrilled he left so he could make room for your precious Mr. York to get closer to the kids?
"Let me tell you, the bond Ethan has built with those kids as a father figure is not something a cold-blooded biological father like Miles can ever replace."
Hearing her call his boss cold-blooded, Tristan immediately stepped up to defend him.
"Ms. Chase, my boss is not cold-blooded. He might be a bit arrogant, but you can't blame him for that—it comes with his position and status."
Yara rolled her eyes dramatically. "Oh, excuse me. Your boss is so lofty and regal, us commoners clearly aren't worthy. So do us a favor and tell your boss to keep his arrogance far away from Quinn, and stay out of my kids' lives."
Tristan's chest tightened with frustration. "Ms. Chase, the little miss and master have York blood. How could the York family ever let their own flesh and blood live outside the family? Aren't you just making things difficult for the boss?"
Yara let out a mocking laugh. "Making things difficult? Leo Winter is your so-called York blood. Go find Leo."
Hearing that, Hunter quickly plastered on a fake smile and interjected, trying to smooth things over.
"Ms. Chase, you're mistaken. Leo Winter isn't Mr. York's son. He was adopted by Jade Winter while she was abroad."
Yara already knew this from Quinn and the kids; she had said it purely to mock them.

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....
