Chapter 142 Giving More Credit Than Due
“Why can’t I be here if you can?” Quinn asked with a chuckle.

“I’m here on behalf of Grafton Technologies, what about you? Your friend’s company, Azure Technologies, isn’t listed in the government’s official roster for the investment conference!” Tent stated.
“Shouldn’t I come and check if you’re using my patent?” Quinn asked.
The expression on Trent’s face instantly soured. How did she know?
His gaze flickered toward Julius, who was standing next to Quinn. At this point, Julius had evidently become Quinn’s pillar of support. If they were planning to drive Quinn away, it was likely impossible.
“When we divorced, we agreed that I’d have rights to the patent since you applied for it after we got married!” Trent argued.
From the side, Sidonie joined the fray. “Quinn, you were pretty quick to agree to the divorce back then, weren’t you? Now that Trent really needs to use the patent, you’re having second thoughts? I knew it. Women like you are always so fickle.” As she spoke, she flashed a smug smile. “But even if you refuse, it’s useless. After all, the law is the final word in this case!”
At that moment, Sidonie was eager to see the frustrated look on Quinn’s face.
So what if Quinn has the talent to create patents, wouldn’t they still end up being used by Trent? When the time comes, the money made from this patent will all belong to me and Trent.
With a look of disdain, Quinn gazed at Sidonie’s malicious grin. “I never said you couldn’t use it, but do you really think you put my patented work into use?”
Trent was taken aback, but Sidonie retorted, “This patent is jointly owned by you and Trent. Why can’t we use it? Moreover, after your marriage, if Trent hadn’t been working hard to make a living, do you think you would have had so much free time to research patents?”
Free time? Quinn sniggered. In the three years since we got married, I had devoted most of my energy and time to helping Trent establish his business. If he was so capable, he wouldn’t only have this one single patent!
“So, you think that Trent is the reason for Grafton Technologies‘ current success and that it was him who made all the money?” Quinn asked.
“What else could it be? Even if you had some research achievements in the military before, so what? Starting a business is not the same as being in the military. It requires a keen eye and courage, not to mention various connections. Do you think money just falls from the sky?” Sidonie said bluntly.
Even though Harlan had once told Sidonie that Quinn had numerous research achievements in the military and was an expert in drone research, Sidonie always felt that he was overstating Quinn’s abilities.
Anyway, once the investment conference officially starts, I’m going to make Trent understand that my patent isn’t as easy to use as he thinks!
