That was the request she made to Trent before leaving the mansion.

“What? Only one million five hundred thirty thousand?” Laura was taken aback. “You helped Trent get his company listed, after all. By right, if you guys get a divorce, he should split half of his assets with you, shouldn’t he?”

“He has put up all his real estate as collateral at the bank, and the finances at Grafton Technologies are tight. Even if I wanted more, he couldn’t afford it,” said Quinn. “Besides, all I want now is to get the divorce over with. I don’t want to be associated with him anymore.”

“Why do you need this exact amount of one million five hundred thirty thousand?” Laura asked in confusion. After all, it was an odd number.

With a bitter taste in her mouth, Quinn pursed her lips. “The death gratuity for my parents was one million five hundred thirty thousand. I used it to help Trent start his business. Now, since we’re parting ways, I at least need that money back.”

Upon hearing that, Laura clenched her teeth in anger. “Trent is such a jerk. He used his in–laws‘ death gratuity to start his business, but he couldn’t even bother to collect their ashes. If Rowan were here and found out you’re with this kind of guy, he’d definitely give you a good scolding!”

Quinn gave a bitter smile. “That’s right. If Rowan found out, he’d definitely give me an earful, wouldn’t he?”

Rowan, who loved her the most, could be quite sharp–tongued. However, he was incredibly responsible.

In the past, she always dreaded being scolded by Rowan. Not only did he avoid using profanity, but he could also lecture for an extended period of time, to the point where she would get sick of it.

At that moment, however, she found herself missing Rowan’s scolding.

“Be patient. It won’t be long before you get a good scolding,” Laura said, sounding rather irritated.

Quinn smiled and understood that Laura was comforting her, assuring her that she would find Rowan

soon.

“After the divorce, I plan to take my parents back to our hometown for burial. After that, I intend to go to the border to search for Rowan. Perhaps my start date at your place might be delayed, but rest assured, I’ll find time to arrange the drone development project.”

“All right. You can focus on finding Rowan now. You’re welcome to start working here whenever you’re ready.” Laura patted Quinn’s shoulder. “I hope you find Rowan soon.”

Quinn lowered her gaze.

She was absolutely certain that she would find Rowan.

In Nimbus Air’s restaurant, Sidonie looked at Trent and asked, “Did she really agree to give you the patent?”

“Yes. As long as I hold a press conference and announce the divorce, she’ll hand over the patent to me,”

Trent said. Even he himself felt it was a low move.

He never thought that one day, he would resort to divorce as a tactic.

At that moment, however, that patent had become absolutely crucial for the company to overcome its difficulties.

“What about her? Did she not make any requests?” Sidonic asked with concern.

After all, the more Quinn took, the less she would have left once she ended up with Trent in the future.

“She didn’t ask for much,” Trent said. “She just wanted me to pay one million five hundred thirty thousand in cash as a settlement for the divorce.”

“One million five hundred thirty thousand?” Sidonie was puzzled. “Why would she suggest that number?”

“Who knows? Maybe it was just something she said offhandedly.” By then, Trent had long forgotten the exact amount of the initial investment he received from Quinn years ago.

“In that case, are you going to give it to her?” Sidonie asked.

It was a mere one million five hundred thirty thousand, which actually made her breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the amount wasn’t that large, and if it could make Trent single again, it would be worth it.

Trent was hesitant for a moment. “Sidonie, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. You know my company’s finances are a bit tight right now, right? It might be a bit of a stretch to come up with this amount of cash all at once, so could you possibly…”

He wore an expression of embarrassment. After all, in the past two years, with the success of his startup, he had become quite generous. He was always the one giving to others instead of asking others for anything, especially money.

“Well…” Sidonie looked troubled. “I haven’t been a co–pilot for long, and I don’t have much money. My parents only appear affluent. Most of their wealth is tied up in antiques, jewelry, and real estate. They don’t have much cash.”

A flash of disappointment crossed Trent’s face.

“I have around a hundred thousand in cash, and I’ll lend it to you first,” said Sidonie.

“Forget it. I’ll think of another way,” Trent said. After all, the total he had to pay Quinn was one million five hundred thirty thousand. One hundred thousand couldn’t help him much.

Sidonie’s face showed a hint of guilt. “I’m sorry, Trent. I can’t be of much help,” she said.
