The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Repay Me

“Robbery?” Harlan scoffed, casually weighing the diamond necklace in his hand. “I’m merely retrieving a portion of Quinnie’s marital assets. Do you really think you can sue me for that?”

Trent was taken aback for a moment; he had almost forgotten. Harlan’s mother’s family was a well–known lineage of lawyers in Jexburgh. Many of these famous attorneys in Jexburgh were indeed students of the head of the Ingram family.

With just a word from the Ingram family, the four largest law firms in Jexburgh would be at their beck and

call.

Sidonie glared at Harlan with resentment, then suddenly spoke up. “Since when did you start enjoying being the second choice, Mr. Ingram? I never saw that coming. Quinn is so capable, isn’t she? As if snagging Julius wasn’t enough, she even managed to reel you in, too.”

A frown creased Quinn’s brow. Just as she was about to speak, Harlan had already stepped forward. Without hesitation, he delivered a hard slap.

A pang of pain shot through Sidonic’s check. Just yesterday, she had been slapped by Julius. It had taken quite some time for the swelling to subside, and today, she had used a fair amount of foundation to conceal it. Unexpectedly, she had received another slap, this time from Harlan.

“Mr. Ingram, how could you do this?” Trent rushed forward, shielding Sidonic.

“This is a warning to her,” Harlan said with a cold smirk. “She can’t just spout off whatever she wants. If she dares to badmouth Quinnic again, it won’t be settled with just a slap!”

The resentment in Sidonie’s eyes deepened as she yelled at Quinn, “Quinn, can you do anything else but hide behind a man?”

“Are you sure you want me to step in?” Quinn looked at Sidonie with a frosty gaze. “If I really do, it won’t just be a minor injury like at the airport!”

Suddenly, Sidonie’s body stiffened. The incident at the airport was the most humiliating experience of her lifetime.

“What did I do wrong? At the airport, I only acted out of concern for the safety of all the passengers on the plane. But I never thought you could stoop so low, even encouraging military personnel to call the police!” Sidonie said through gritted teeth.

Harlan interrupted with a sarcastic remark. “Stonehurst, do you think you’re in a position to call others despicable? It seems like your time in police custody didn’t do much for your self–reflection!”

“What exactly am I supposed to reflect on? What did I do wrong? At the airport, I only insisted on inspecting the cremation urns for the safety of everyone on the plane!” Sidonie expressed indignantly.

“If you still don’t think you’ve done anything wrong, then your days as a co–pilot are numbered,” said Quinn coldly.

Sidonie glared at Quinn. “I know what this is about. You’re just jealous of me. You’re jealous that Trent cares for me, not you and that I’ve become the co–pilot, a position you could never reach!”

Before Quinn could even speak, Harlan at her side had already burst into laughter.

He looked at Sidonie with a gaze full of contempt. “Stonehurst, just how narcissistic can you get? Do you

really think someone would be jealous of the attention a fool gives you?”

Trent, who had just been insulted, wore a darkened expression on his face. “Mr. Ingram, even if you want to back Quinn, there’s no need to insult me like this!”

“I didn’t insult you. I was merely stating the facts,” Harlan said, his tone nonchalant. “You took credit for taking the company going public, and in three years of marriage, you showered your mistress with all kinds of jewelry, while neglecting the wife who strived alongside you in building the business. If that’s not foolishness, then what is?”

“You…” Trent’s face turned even grimmer.

“Also…” Harlan turned to Sidonie. “Just because you’re a co–pilot, you think you’re all that? You probably couldn’t even identify all the fighter jets Quinnie has flown!”

Suddenly, Sidonie’s face flushed bright red.

Harlan, however, seemed unsatisfied with the situation. He continued, “Who knows? You might not even be a co–pilot soon. You surely don’t think that the trouble you caused at the airport could be settled just by being detained for a few days, do you?”

The color drained from Sidonie’s face, leaving her pale. She shot a cold glare at Harlan. “Whether I can continue as the co–pilot is not for you to decide, Mr. Ingram!”

“Let’s see how it goes, then,” Harlan said, turning to Quinn. “Quinnie, are you leaving? I’ll walk you out.”
