The Divorced Military Queen Awakens (by Sadie Baxter) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Subpar Performance

“But it’s just because of the benefits given by the Whitethorn family,” Quinn stated bluntly.

“You-” Marley’s composure instantly shattered. She never expected Quinn to dare to speak so candidly in front of Julius.

“But remember, the benefits others can give, they can also take back at any moment. If it’s not yours, it’s best not to consider it as your own merit,” Quinn said, in a languid manner.

Marley raised her hand in exasperation. “Quinn, how dare you speak to me like that!”

Before her hand could even reach Quinn, Julius had already stopped her. “What’s this? You don’t want this hand anymore?” Julius asked coldly.

Marley winced in pain. The memory of Julius’s hand around her neck previously sent an immediate chill down her spine.

“I was just upset that Quinn belittled our relationship, making it sound like it was merely a transaction!” Marley said.

“Exchange?” Julius said nonchalantly, “Seems fair enough. You traded one of your eyes for the benefits provided by the Whitethorn family.”

Marley’s body stiffened. Fortunately, at that moment, the aerial performance had concluded. Sidonie emerged from the cockpit, her face beaming with pride.

A swarm of journalists surrounded Sidonie and began to bombard her with various interviews.

Among these news outlets, several had received monetary gifts from Sidonie, a subtle hint for them to write more articles praising her.

Meanwhile, Trent was right by Sidonie’s side.

“By the way, Ms. Stonehurst, are you currently dating Mr. Grafton?” a reporter asked.

Trent was taken aback, and before he could even utter a word, Sidonie had already beaten him to it, cheerfully saying, “Yes, Trent and I are currently dating.”

The reporter hurriedly offered his congratulations.

Trent was feeling uneasy. He pursed his lips and glanced toward Quinn, who was not too far away.

Yet, there was Quinn, her face the picture of calm, as if she didn’t care at all.

Had she not heard the conversation between the reporter and Sidonie? Or was it that… even if she had, she simply didn’t care?

The thought alone made Trent’s chest feel unbearably heavy.

At that moment, a reporter suddenly asked, “We heard that Mr. Grafton just got divorced not long ago, and now you’re quickly involved with Ms. Stonehurst. Is there any particular reason?”

“Trent and I were just friends at first,” Sidonie said. “It was only after his divorce that we realized our feelings for each other. I’m also grateful that Trent got divorced.” She then turned her head, looking directly at Quinn.

“Quinn, I should thank you for divorcing Trent. Otherwise, how would I have ever met such a wonderful person like him?”

On the surface, Sidonie seemed to be expressing gratitude. But in reality, it felt more like she was flexing and showing off.

Suddenly, all eyes were on Quinn.

A reporter rushed up to Quinn and asked, “What are your thoughts on Mr. Grafton and Ms. Stonehurst’s relationship?”

Quinn chuckled coldly. “No comment.”

“Ms. Stonehurst is Nimbus Air’s first female pilot. Do you feel uncomfortable knowing your ex–husband has found such a remarkable new girlfriend?” the reporter continued to ask.

This reporter had previously received a bribe from Sidonie, so naturally, they were inclined to cooperate with her, aiming to embarrass Quinn.

However, Quinn’s response remained straightforward and clear. “Not really.”
