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.

“What?” Trent was taken aback as he saw Sidonie raise her hand, seemingly ready to toss the rings into a nearby trash can. Without missing a beat, Trent quickly grabbed her hand. “Don’t throw them!”

“And you dare say you have no feelings for Quinn?” Sidonie said, clearly displeased.

“I just feel that even if I have to throw them away, I should do it in front of Quinn. Only then can I truly put an end to it all!”

“Well said!” Marley emerged from around the corner, clapping and laughing.

“Marley.” Sidonie slightly furrowed her brows. Could it be that Marley had heard their conversation just

now?

“You know, there’s a government–led groundbreaking ceremony on the island in a few days. Sidonie, you should go together with Mr. Grafton. Julius will probably be there too, and I assume Quinn will accompany him,” Marley said.

Sidonie and Trent were surprised.

Naturally, they wanted to attend this groundbreaking ceremony. It would give them a chance to get closer to the government and the corporate groups involved in the island development project. If things went smoothly, they could also seize the opportunity to discuss potential future projects.

“Quinn will also be there?” Sidonie asked.

“Should be. Mr. Grafton, if you truly want to put an end to things with Quinn, this would be the perfect opportunity to toss the rings in front of her, no?” Marley suggested with a smile.
