Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again 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.

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

“So, what’s your take on Ms. Stonehurst’s airplane performance just now? After all, what she can do, you simply can’t.”

Quinn cast a meaningful glance at the reporter. “Her performance just now was subpar. She didn’t manage her flight speed effectively and required assistance from other aircraft. Most critically, her approach speed during landing was too high. If she hadn’t been lucky, she could’ve potentially overrun the runway.”

Since someone asked for her opinion, of course, she wouldn’t hold back.

The reporter was taken aback. His initial intention was to embarrass this woman with his words, but now, it seemed like the tables had turned, and it was Sidonie who was left in an awkward position.

Sidonie wore a serious expression. “Quinn, there’s no need to belittle me on purpose with your words!”

“Exactly, Ms. Stonehurst is a co–pilot with a wealth of flying experience. You can’t just tarnish her reputation with a few careless words. Besides, do you even know how to fly a plane?” the reporter asked.

“Ha, she wouldn’t know the first thing about flying a plane. I bet she’s never even touched the controls,” Marley finally found her chance to mock Quinn.

“Quinn used to be the captain of the Falcon Special Forces. Do you really think she’s never even touched the controls of a plane?” Julius said coldly, casting a glance at Marley that suggested he thought she was an idiot.

The smile on Marley’s face froze instantly.

She had always thought that Quinn was just an ordinary veteran. Who would have thought that she was actually the captain of the Falcon Special Forces?
