The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 I Am The Only One Special

For the next two days, Julius didn’t step outside the mansion at all. Quinn also remained inside with him until they were interrupted by an unexpected visitor.

With a surprised look on her face, Marley asked Quinn, “Why are you here?”

“I’m staying here for now,” replied Quinn nonchalantly.

Marley’s expression shifted slightly. Julius‘ parents once lived in this mansion, and apart from the house staff, Julius had never allowed anyone else to live there.

“Quinn, don’t think that you’re special to Julius just because you live in this mansion,” Marley sneered. “There’s a room in the mansion that Julius never lets anyone enter. You’ve never been in there, have you?”

Quinn was surprised. When she had moved into the mansion, Julius had indeed told her not to enter the room at the end of the third floor.

“But I’ve been there before!” Marley declared arrogantly, acting as if she were the true victor in that

moment.

“So what?” said Quinn calmly.

She wasn’t the curious type to begin with. So, when Julius initially told her about the forbidden room, she didn’t feel the need to figure out what was inside.

After all, it was someone else’s private matter.

Marley’s expression darkened, as if she had thrown a powerful punch with all her might, expecting to see a look of loss, defeat, and pain on Quinn’s face. However, Quinn seemed utterly unaffected.

“Quinn, don’t you get it? This means that I’m the only one special to Julius. I’m the only one who knows his secrets. And even if I break his rules, he’ll always forgive me!” Marley held her chin high with pride.

Joquin simply couldn’t be bothered with Marley. She stepped forward, intending to leave. 1

Marley was far from satisfied. She blocked Quinn’s path and continued, “You don’t know anything about Julius. You haven’t seen his cruel side, nor his pitiful side, have you? Only I have seen those! Back then, his mother neglected him, and his father abused him. I was the one who accepted him. I was the only one who could stand by his side! You probably have no idea how pitiful he was back then. If it weren’t for me, he might not have survived!”

The more Marley spoke, the more smug she became, and the more daring her words grew.

Quinn frowned. “Enough, Marley, you’d better stop talking. I don’t want to listen anymore!”

After all, this was Julius‘ private affairs.

Moreover… Quinn didn’t think that such painful matters should be spoken about so lightly by Marley.

Yet, Marley felt like she had gained the upper hand and wasn’t about to let it go. She continued in her self- satisfied manner, “Do you know how his father mistreated him? I’m the only one who knows!”

Just as Quinn was about to scold Marley, she paused upon seeing a figure appear behind Marley.

It was Julius!

He was walking over silently. Clearly, he had heard what Marley had just said!

Marley saw Quinn in a daze and thought that her words had struck a nerve. A malicious smile appeared on her lips as she said, “He never told you how his mother died, did he? But I know. I was there with him when she died. You have no idea what he was like then-”

Suddenly, her voice came to an abrupt halt. A hand had stealthily gripped her throat, the slender fingers so chillingly cold it was frightening!

“What was I like back then? I’m actually quite curious to know.” His voice, unusually cold and murderous, echoed in Marley’s ears.

A chill ran down Marley’s spine as her face turned deathly pale.
