All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Miles’s expression shifted slightly.A moment later, he put on a gentle smile and explained softly, “Gwen, you know my family is a little unusual. We shouldn’t talk about our family’s strength in public. It wouldn’t be good if the wrong person overheard.”Gwen gave a cold little huff, but she let it go.The three of them left the airport and got into the car to head back to the Quinn estate.On the way there, Lucas and Miles chatted about what had happened over the years.From Miles, Lucas got a general idea of how his life had been.After Miles was brought back to his family, his name was changed from Miles Chase to Miles Owen.The Owen family had treated him well. Since he had an older brother and sister ahead of him, the family responsibilities didn’t fall on his shoulders, and he was free to pursue what he loved.He loved painting, so he devoted himself to it.Now he was a fairly well-known artist internationally, and any one of his paintings could sell for millions.This

Miles froze at the strange comment.“What?”“Like my dear sister just said, she isn’t as careful with herself as I am. She loves sleeping around. You’re the twentieth boyfriend she’s brought in front of me. I’m a kind person, so I’m only suggesting you get checked. It’d be terrible if you caught something.”After dropping that bomb, Ivy calmly walked toward the dining table.The moment Miles heard that, he pulled his arm out of Gwen’s hold.He didn’t say anything, but his reaction said enough.Gwen could no longer keep the smile on her face.Through gritted teeth, she said, “Ivy’s lying to smear me. You actually believe her?”Miles gave a light cough.“Of course not. I know what kind of person you are better than anyone.”That was what he said out loud.Inwardly, he had already decided to go to the hospital for a full STI screening.He and Gwen had been dating for three months, and they had already been intimate more than once.The most recent time had been last night.Th

Ivy felt a little sick after hearing Gwen’s words. She set down her fork.Her cool gaze swept over Gwen across the table.“Didn’t I tell you not to provoke me?”Gwen blinked her pretty eyes, looking completely innocent.“Ivy, even if you’re upset, you shouldn’t take it out on me. This is Grandpa’s order.”Ivy let out a scoff.“Don’t hide behind Grandpa. Just because I tolerate you doesn’t mean you’re important. You’re the daughter of a mistress who clawed her way into this family. Where do you get the nerve to put on airs in front of me?“Should I have someone go around Jasper City with a megaphone and tell everyone exactly how your shameless mother became Mrs. Quinn?”“You! You!”Gwen trembled with rage, her face twisting.She shot to her feet, leaned across the table, and raised her hand to slap Ivy.But before she could touch a single strand of Ivy’s hair, Lucas caught her wrist.His voice was cold.“Ms. Gwen, you’ve crossed the line.”Miles immediately stood and moved

Miles answered carefully, “She’s Gwen Quinn, the younger daughter of the Quinn family.”“The Quinn family?” Serena’s expression shifted. “The one that just came back to Jasper City?”“Yes.”“No. The family will never agree to this marriage.”Miles pressed his lips into a thin line.That was exactly the answer he had expected.Seeing the disappointment on his face, Serena softened her tone.“Miles, you know our family’s situation. A girl from the Quinn family wouldn’t even make it past the background check.”“I know. But I really like her.” Miles lowered his voice, almost pleading. “Serena, can you help me talk to Ethan and Dad?”Ever since they were children, Serena had always been the one who loved him most.His father and older brother had always been distant with him. Maybe men were just naturally bad at showing emotion.Or maybe there was a deeper reason.But Miles didn’t dare think too much about that.“Serena, I’ve never asked you for anything before. Just this once.

To Miles, killing someone was no small thing.If they were caught, it could easily backfire.“Fine. Then we won’t kill him. Miles, I’ll do whatever you say.”Nina wrapped her arms around Miles’s neck and leaned against his chest.Miles held her and tried to calm the restless thoughts in his mind.As for Lucas, he needed to think about it.He needed more time to think.*The Skyline Room was one of Jasper City’s most famous date-night restaurants.Located in the heart of downtown, it sat on the 100th floor of a luxury high-rise. From there, diners could look out over the entire city skyline at night.For the wealthy, it was one of the top places to take someone on a date.At the best table by the window, Lucas glanced at the empty chair across from him, then looked at Ivy, who was already enjoying her meal.He couldn’t help reminding her, “Ms. Quinn, your date isn’t even here yet. Is it really okay to start eating?”What he understood even less was why Ivy had brought him a
