Was it because of him? She wanted to punch his father, all because of him, right?

Julius‘ lips curled up slightly into a soft smile. “All right, I’ll protect you! No matter what happens, I will always protect you!”

Marley glared at the red mark on her neck in the mirror, gritting her teeth in frustration.

Back when Julius had her by the throat, he genuinely wanted her dead!

Even if she had brought up something he detested, he shouldn’t have treated her like that!

It must have been because of Quinn!

Ever since Quinn entered Julius‘ life, he had changed. Not only had he attended the funeral of Quinn’s parents, but his actions toward her were also far from normal.

In the Bridger family, whispers against Marley had started to increase.

Even quite a few of her peers looked at her as if they were looking at a pitiful woman who could be abandoned at any moment!

This made it even harder for her to bear!

Why should anyone pity her? The help the Bridger family received from the Whitethorn family over the years was all because of her!

It came at the cost of one of her eyes!

But what about Quinn? Quinn hadn’t sacrificed anything, yet she was the recipient of Murren’s doting affection, not to mention the care from the elders of the Bridger family. She even received special treatment from Julius!

All these should rightfully belong to her, Marley!

Marley pulled at her collar and left the bathroom. However, as she turned the corner, she heard a familiar female voice ask, “Trent, do you still have feelings for Quinn?”

It was Sidonie’s voice!

馆

Marley paused in her steps, subtly peeking around the corner. There, in the hallway, she saw Sidonie and Trent talking about something.

If she remembered correctly, Trent was, in fact, Quinn’s ex–husband.

“I’ve already divorced Quinn, so how could she still be in my heart?” Trent said.

“Then why did you still go searching for those two rings?” Sidonie demanded.

She had visited the Bridger residence again with Trent today, hoping he could get a piece of the action for the island development project. However, while they were discussing the project with her uncle and the others, his face suddenly changed. He then quickly made up an excuse and left in a hurry.

She thought something major had happened, but it turned out he had gone searching for his lost rings – the cheap wedding rings he and Quinn had worn.

“I’m just using them to remind myself not to repeat the same mistakes in my future marriage,” said Trent.

This statement wasn’t just meant for Sidonie, but also served as a reminder to himself.

Yes, the only reason he kept the rings with him was because of this!

“So, if I were to say that you won’t repeat the same mistakes in your future marriage, does that mean you can throw away these two rings?” Sidonie asked, opening her palm.

The two lost wedding rings were quietly resting in her palm.

“Why do you…” Trent was surprised.

“When you were looking for them earlier, I happened to find them first,” Sidonie said.

Trent stepped forward, intending to take the rings.

However, Sidonie had already pulled her hand back first. “Trent, we’ve already lost three years. I don’t want to lose any more time. Our future won’t end up like yours and Quinn’s, so you don’t need these two rings to remind yourself anymore!”

Pausing in his tracks, Trent’s eyes flickered with conflict. “Hand me the rings first.”

“What if I insist on throwing them away?” Sidonie asked.
