Chapter 181 Confrontation On Camera
After she ended the call, Julius asked, “You’re doing a talk show?”
“Yeah. And Sidonie will be there. Since she’s such a spotlight chaser, perfect–I’ve got something to show her.”
Julius raised an eyebrow. “If you don’t like her, I can take care of it.”
Sidonie was just the overlooked daughter of the Stonehurst family’s second branch. Even with her role as a co–pilot at Nimbus Air, she couldn’t hold a candle to Julius. If he wanted her out of the picture, it wouldn’t take much.
“No need,” Quinn said. “If someone needs handling, I’ll do it myself. She’s not worth your effort.”
He didn’t argue. “All right. But if you ever want anything, just say the word.”
Whatever she needed, he’d make sure it got done.
On the day of the taping, Julius went with Quinn to the station. The moment staff recognized him, they froze.
Ms. Bridger didn’t mention that Mr. Whitethorn was coming! The legendary Mr. Whitethorn!
An employee approached hesitantly. “Mr. Whitethorn, you’re…”
“I’ll sit in the audience,” Julius said.
The employee looked like he’d swallowed his own tongue. Sure, talk shows had live audiences, but to have someone like Mr. Whitethorn among the audience? That’s unimaginable!
He could already picture the ratings breaking records.
With staff guiding them, Julius and Quinn entered the studio. Sidonie was already sitting on the couch.
The moment she saw Quinn, she gave a smug little sneer. “I thought you were supposed to be all selfless, risking your life without wanting attention. Yet here you are, chasing screen time.”
“At least I actually saved lives,” Quinn shot back. “You didn’t rescue a single person, so why are you here?”
Sidonie flushed, then forced a smile. “You should be grateful I didn’t have to step in. If I did, that would mean you messed up. Didn’t you know I was right behind you that day? I was relieved you managed to save them. In fact, I was worried you wouldn’t be able to pull it off.”
