Her mocking stare hit him like a blow. The words caught in his throat, stuck fast, leaving him unable to finish.

Laura’s fury ignited. “Trent, how can you call this a misunderstanding? Your mother and sister treated Quinnie like trash. If she hadn’t reacted in time, do you even know what could’ve happened to her?”

Trent’s face turned crimson under the weight of her words.

Moments later, the police arrived.

Jacinda froze, terror etched across her face, her body trembling violently. “I don’t want to go to the police station! I don’t want to! Trent, help me! I don’t want to be locked up!”

Only now did fear finally creep onto Penelope’s face. Clutching Trent’s arm, she pleaded, “Son, don’t let the police take me and Jacinda away!”

Trent turned to Quinn, his expression conflicted. “Quinn, Mom’s getting older, and Jacinda is still so young. Maybe we could just…”

Laura scoffed from the side. “Still young? How old is your sister now-twelve? And as for your mom, she didn’t look the least bit frail when she was about to strike Quinn a moment ago!”

Trent ignored Laura’s biting remark and continued, eyes fixed on Quinn. “This is really just a Grafton family matter. Can we handle it privately? What do you think?”

“Family matter?” Quinn repeated, her voice flat as she looked at the man standing before her. A bitter chill settled in her chest.

What was I even hoping for? Have I really expected that, after everything that had just unfolded, Trent would finally stand beside me just once? That he’d fight for me, speak up for me? But he didn’t. He never did. And oddly, this time… it didn’t even hurt. No sharp sting, no heartbreak. Of course it would turn out like this. I should’ve known.

“You’ve never treated me like family-so how can this possibly be a family matter?” Quinn said coldly.

Trent’s brows furrowed. “You’re my wife. How could you not be considered family?”

“Wife?” Quinn let out a short, humorless laugh. “Trent, if it were Sidonie who’d been treated like this today, would you still be saying the same thing?”

Trent froze, words caught in his throat.

Sidonie quickly stepped in. “If it were me, I’d never put Trent in such a difficult position. Quinn, you weren’t seriously hurt, so why are you being so aggressive?”

Quinn turned to her with a chilling smile. “Well, Ms. Stonehurst, I sincerely hope that if you ever find yourself in my shoes, you’ll be able to walk the talk.”

“You-” Sidonie snapped, eyes flashing as she glared at Quinn.

Enugly Save it for the police station The two men groaning on the ground were hauled away first. Then, the oilta jurned to excuri Penelope and Jacinda

As the handcuits neared her wrists, Jacinda panicked.

Tu tonovem? I won’t me! It wasn’t me!” she sobbed, wide eyes darting to Trent, who stood silent,

moving Desperate, she suddenly lunged toward Sidonie, grabbing her arm. “Sidonie, please, you have in help me! My mother and I did everything for you! You knew what was happening today, You knew!

Tent was stunned the moment he heard it. “Sidonic… you.”

Sidonie’s face turned pale, her composure slipping “H1-How is this related to me? I don’t know anything!”

“You do know?” Jacinda snapped, her voice rising. “You’re the one who said we didn’t need to give Quinn the money if not for you, why would Mom and I have gone this far?”

The two women immediately began pointing fingers, each cager to shift the blame onto the other,

“Sidonie,” Laura cut in with a mocking smile, “didn’t you just say you’d never put Trent in a difficult position? Well, why not admit you were in on it from the start? That way, your precious sweetheart won’t be stuck in the middle anyn

Sidonie’s face flushed crimson, Laura’s words landing like a slap. Her lips trembled with rage.

“Trent, please, you have to believe me. It had nothing to do with me!” she begged, turning to him with wide, pleading eyes.

But Penelope snapped, “Sidonic, how can you stand there and act innocent? If it weren’t for you, for the sake of helping you marry Trent, would we have ever done something like this?”

Watching the chaos unfold, Trent felt troubled.

“Take all of them away!” the officer ordered. At this point, the police decided to take Sidonie in as well. Then, one of them turned to Quinn.
