Chapter 15 You Apologize
“Indeed. As such, unfortunately, we can’t establish a partnership with your company this time,” Kevin said.
Trent was utterly baffled. “But Quinn is just an ordinary employee at the company. Why would your company decide to terminate its investment plans just because she left?”
Kevin scoffed, “It seems like you truly have no understanding of Ms. Bridger’s worth, Mr. Grafton.”
Gazing at the phone in his hand, Trent was utterly baffled by the last words of Kevin. Quinn? What value did she possess?
Then, Trent called Quinn, asking her to return to the office.
Though Quinn was reluctant, she decided to return to the office. She didn’t want to complicate things further until she had separated entirely from Trent.
The moment Trent saw her, he immediately said, “You quit, and Harvest Capital immediately ceased their funding. Did you collude with them to take revenge on me?”
“Revenge?” Quinn chuckled. “I don’t have such great capabilities to conspire with Harvest Capital. If they decided to withdraw their investment, it simply means they don’t see potential in this project!”
“In that case, why did Mr. Fuller say that the investment was terminated because you resigned?”
Quinn was taken aback, but she understood the reason. Harvest Capital’s initial interest in investing likely meant they had investigated her, being aware of her past achievements in the field of drones.
Since she had left and been replaced by Jacinda, it was only natural that there were no aspects that the investors found appealing anymore.
“It seems like the investors don’t see value in Jacinda’s abilities,” said Quinn.
Jacinda, who had been eavesdropping at the office door, immediately pushed it open, glaring at Quinn in outrage. “What do you mean by that? I bet it’s because you and the investors have some shady deal going on!”
As she spoke, a flash of malice suddenly crossed her eyes. “Maybe you slept with one of the investors to get them to agree.” Quinn scowled.
Trent frowned, “Jacinda, don’t spout nonsense!”
“I’m not!” Jacinda protested, “Trent, the investors withdrew their funding because Quinn resigned. It’s clear there’s something fishy. I bet Quinn slept with the investors and cheated on you!”
Trent was silent, his gaze toward Quinn filled with uncertainty and surprise.
Facing Trent’s scrutinizing gaze, Quinn asked, “Do you believe her?”
Trent slowly began to speak. “Then you tell me, why would the investors pull out just because you resigned? Is it really because of you…”
He left the rest of his words unspoken, yet the meaning behind them was already crystal clear.
Quinn couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
They spent a year together before marriage, then three years after, so a total of four years, and yet he didn’t trust her at all.
A few casual words from his sister were enough to make him question her innocence!
“Trent, look at her. She’s clearly feeling guilty!” Jacinda continued to add insult to injury.
Quinn stifled her laughter, her gaze icy as she stared at Jacinda. “Are you certain that I actually slept with someone from the
investors?
