Chapter 105 His True Savior
“What?” Quinn was taken aback. What on earth is going on?
Originally, it was she who had saved him from the river. What on earth did it have to do with Sidonie?
“I came to you today hoping for some honesty,” Trent said. “I really hope you’re not exploiting even this!”
“You’re saying… the person who saved you was Sidonie?” Quinn asked, narrowing her eyes.
“Yes!” Trent said, “You wouldn’t have guessed, but I’ve known who my savior was all along! So, please stop telling those ridiculous lies!”
What the heck?
“Hahahaha!” Quinn suddenly burst into laughter. “Trent, who’s the one being ridiculous here?”
Back then, she had braved the dangers, fighting against the turbulent river to save him. However, he was convinced that it was Sidonie who had saved his life.
“Of course, you’re the ridiculous one!” A voice suddenly rang out. “Quinn, I never expected that you would stoop so low as to claim someone else’s heroic deed as your own. How shameless!”
Quinn turned her head, only to see Marley walking toward the small balcony. Accompanying her was none other than Sidonie.
At that moment, Sidonie’s cheeks were still red and swollen, clearly indicating that the slaps Julius had given her earlier were anything but light.
Quinn disregarded Marley, her gaze landing on Sidonie. “So, did you tell Trent that you were the one who saved him from the river back then?”
Sidonie was prepared for this. From the moment she decided to accompany Trent to Yarburn, she knew he would inevitably seek out Quinn to clarify things and that she would have to face this situation.
“It wasn’t just me,” Sidonie stated, “Trent and others saw it with their own eyes! Back then, I was the one who saved Trent. I accompanied him in the ambulance and all the way to the hospital. During his treatment there, I visited him multiple times!”
What she said, especially the latter part, was all true, which was why Sidonie didn’t feel guilty at all when she said it.
Quinn stared intently at Sidonie. “What I’m asking is, were you the one who saved Trent from the river back then?”
Her piercing gaze startled Sidonie, making the latter feel as if she was being overwhelmed by Quinn’s imposing aura at that moment.
“Are you implying that it wasn’t Sidonie who saved us, but you?” Marley retorted.
“Why are you butting in when I’m talking to Sidonie?” Quinn said coldly.
Marley retorted, “How is it not my business? Sidonie is, after all, my cousin. Of course, I have to stand up for her.”
“Cousin?” Quinn was taken aback.
1/2
“Sidonie’s mother is also a Bridger!” said Marley,
In other words, Sidonie’s mother was also a member of the Bridger family. Therefore, strictly speaking. there was a bit of familial connection between Quinn and Sidonic.
To her surprise, Quinn hadn’t expected there to be such a connection between her and Sidonie.
With a look of disdain, Marley regarded Quinn. She had just found out from Sidonie that Quinn was, in fact, a divorcee.
A woman who has been through a divorce is even less suited to Julius!
“You’re not regretting your divorce and fabricating this story to try and salvage your marriage, are you? Too bad, your ex–husband already knows you’re lying. He’s well aware that you’re not his savior!” Marley mocked.
Sidonic also chimed in, “Quinn, you and Trent are already divorced. Why resort to these tactics? Or do you think that if Trent believes you saved his life, he’ll get back together with you and make it up to you?”
