Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 An Uninvited Guest

Is he trying to attract me with his good looks? Can I guarantee I won’t develop feelings for him?

Even she herself wasn’t sure, especially with the way he was looking at her. His eyes were no longer filled with the usual indifference. Instead, they were replaced with palpable yearning.

A man like Julius could easily make a woman’s heart flutter.

“Never mind, just don’t say that again next time,” Quinn said.

Julius‘ eyes dimmed slightly, but he complied with Quinn’s wishes. “Alright, I understand.”

After the investment conference and charity fundraiser on the island had concluded, the attendees gradually started to leave.

The next day, Quinn and Julius also sailed off.

However, when they returned to Julius‘ villa in Yarburn, they unexpectedly found an uninvited guest waiting inside–Joaquin, Julius‘ father.

Even though Quinn hadn’t seen Joaquin in person before, she had come across his pictures on the internet, and so, she instantly recognized him.

After all, members of the Whitethorn family had extraordinary looks; it was hard for anyone to forget.

The moment Julius saw his father, his expression immediately darkened. “What are you doing here? I’ve told you before, don’t show your face in front of her!”

Instinctively, he positioned himself in front of Quinn, fearing that his father might harm her.

“So, you’re wary of me? Afraid I’ll harm your precious one?” Joaquin chuckled. “I just heard about an interesting incident on the island. Apparently, she jumped into the sea to save a child, and you were right there with her. I found it interesting, so I decided to come and see her.”

Julius wore a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Quinn stepped out from behind him. Seeing this, Julius anxiously tried to hold her back. However, Quinn gave him a reassuring look and confidently walked up to Joaquin. “Now that you’ve seen me, are you satisfied?” she asked.

Joaquin cocked his eyebrow slightly. “Not bad.”

“Alright, now that you’ve had your fill of looking, it’s my turn!” No sooner had Quinn finished than she swung her fist straight at Joaquin.

The punch was swift and powerful, one that was totally unexpected.

The punch landed forcefully on Joaquin’s stomach.

Had he not been trained, he would have been sent flying by Quinn’s punch long ago.
