'You've got sticky fingers, stealing York family supplies to subsidize your brother. Macy catches you and scolds you a bit, and now you come crying to me, hinting that she's bullying you on purpose?'
Quinn's face had drained of color at the time. She had frantically tried to explain: 'Those... Jack said they were expiring and needed to be thrown out. I thought it was a waste to just toss them in the garbage, so I asked Jack if—'
Miles had cut her off with a freezing glare. 'Leave Jack out of this. I know your mother did him a favor once, so of course he's going to cover for you.'
Seeing the pure disgust and annoyance in his eyes, the words had died in her throat. It felt as though a massive boulder had crushed her chest.
She hadn't tried to explain further, knowing it was entirely pointless.
The undeniable truth was that she had taken things from the York estate. Even if they were garbage, destined for the dump, she shouldn't have accepted the charity.
Miles had tightened his jaw and issued a lethal warning: 'Quinn, from now on, without my explicit permission, you are forbidden from stepping foot on the second floor. And you will absolutely never enter my study again.'
At that moment, all the strength had drained from her body. Her heart had plummeted into a freezing abyss.
The humiliating memories surged back, threatening to drown her once again.
Pulling her gaze back to the present, Quinn forced away the lingering sting in her eyes. She loosened her clenched fists and met Macy's stare with icy composure.
"Macy, these are my personal belongings. You have no right to search through them."
Ignoring Macy entirely, Quinn continued hauling her boxes out to the courtyard.
She ordered a rideshare on her phone, planning to load everything up and leave shortly.
Macy shot a pointed look at Susan. Catching the hint, the maid immediately rushed inside the house.
When Quinn returned inside to grab the next load, Macy barked an order.
"Susan, grab some people and tear every single one of her boxes open. I want to see exactly what she's trying to steal this time."
Susan was Mrs. York's loyal lackey at Regency Bay. Throughout Quinn's years living there, the maid had subjected her to endless bullying and mockery.
"Right away, Miss."
"Don't touch my things!"
There was only one box left unopened. Since Macy hadn't told her to stop, Susan had no intention of backing down.
Gripping the scissors tightly, she ignored Quinn's protests and lunged for the final box.
That box held the scarves and little trinkets she had hand-knitted for the twins.
Quinn threw herself forward to block it, but she was no match for Susan's aggressive shoving.
In the violent struggle, the sharp blade of the scissors slashed deeply across Quinn's palm, instantly drawing a thick line of crimson blood.
"Ah!"
"That... you ran into it yourself! This isn't my fault!"

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....
