Chapter 241 Hidden Truths Emerge
Quinn worked straight through to dusk before her phone rang without warning.
“How’s everything going? Want me to pick you up?” Julius’s voice drifted through the speaker.
“No need. I’m just about finished for today and will pick it up again tomorrow,” Quinn replied. “I’ll drive back myself. Having you come all the way out here is pointless.”
“All right, I’ll wait for you at the apartment,” Julius said.
“Okay.” She ended the call, packed her things, and headed for the car.
On her way home, Laura phoned. “Hey, I’ve got something to tell you”
Laura relayed what Harlan had uncovered about Sidonie and that Lindgren man. “Looks like Sidonie’s finally getting what she deserves. She stole your credit as the one who saved a life, and now she’s being blackmailed. Karma spares no one! Harlan says he’s setting up quite a show.”
Laura didn’t know exactly what Harlan had in mind, but if he was this confident, Sidonie and Trent probably had rough days ahead.
“Sidonie’s wickedness may run deeper than that,” Quinn said, her fingers tightening on the steering wheel.
If the video reached full clarity and the person lighting the cigarette really was Sidonie, Quinn would never let her walk away unpunished.
“What else has she done?” Laura asked.
“Still digging. I need absolute confirmation,” Quinn answered. For now, every link in the chain pointed toward Sidonie, but it remained confecture–there was no decisive proof yet.
While they spoke, Quinn’s car rolled to a stop outside the upscale complex where the apartment was located.
After she parked and stepped out, she spotted Marley in the distance, and her eyes narrowed.
Marley saw her too, hesitated, then strode over.
Quinn said, “Something just came up. I’ll call you back.”
“Sure.” Laura hung up.
Quinn slipped her phone and earpiece away, her gaze frost–cold as Marley stopped in front of her. “What do you want?”
“I came to see Julius, but since I’ve run into you, I have a few things to say.” Marley lifted her chin haughtily.
“I have nothing to say to you.” Quinn stepped around her.
Marley clenched her teeth, then darted in front of her again. “Quinn, you’re feeling pretty pleased with yourself now that you’re with Julius, aren’t you? But what if Julius does something to betray you? Will you

still stay with him?”
Quinn’s voice was icy. “If he ever betrays me, he’ll be the
one to tell me, not you.”
“Ha! Do you really think he’d confess? A man like Julius can keep a secret for a lifetime if he wants
Quinn ignored her and walked on.
Marley shouted after her, “Quinn, think about it. If he hurts you, could you still stay with him? I’m telling you-”
A different voice cut her off. “I’d like to know that, too. Exactly what unforgivable thing have I done to Quinn?”
Marley froze. That was Julius‘ voice.
Quinn looked up to see Julius striding toward her, his handsome face icy.
