Chapter 146 Growing Suspicious

In a blink of an eye, Sidonie became an object of admiration in the eyes of many.

However, there was no sense of pride on Sidonie’s face. Instead, she looked somewhat saddened. “Can we stop airing this news? After all, quite a few people died in that fire, including several firefighters who sacrificed their lives trying to put it out. Every time I see this news, it makes me upset.”

Immediately, a staff member on site shut down the news broadcast, while also wondering who on earth had switched the content on the screen.

Moreover, it was an incident from five years ago.

Nevertheless, Marley seemed unsatisfied. She turned to Quinn and said, “Sidonie is the real hero, unlike some people who talk big but do nothing at all. They pretend to be brave, but when it comes to situations like these, they’d probably just hide like a scaredy–cat!”

Although she didn’t mention any names, anyone present could easily guess that she was referring to Quinn.

Quinn looked at Marley with a hint of indifference. “So, you’re saying if something like this happened, you’d bravely step forward, wouldn’t you? That’s really quite remarkable.

“Then I’ll go with you,” Trent quickly said.

“No need. I’ll just head back to the hotel room for some rest,” Sidonie said. Without waiting for Trent’s response, she hurriedly left.

Watching Sidonie’s retreating figure, Quinn couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

Sidonie’s reaction is indeed unusual. She usually revels in the praises of others, but at this moment, she seems to avoid those compliments as if they were a plague.

“What are you thinking about?” Julius‘ voice suddenly rang out beside her ear.

“I find Sidonie’s reaction a bit odd,” she stated candidly.

“Since when do you care her reaction?” he asked.

“It just struck me as odd. It’s not like I really care.” After all, whether Sidonie was a heroic firefighter or not, it had nothing to do with her.

However, that fire…
