Chapter 183 A Hero’s Mask Shattered

“Quinn, aren’t you a veteran? Don’t you love showing off how kind–hearted you are? Well, I’m giving you that chance right now.”

From the recording, Sidonie’s voice poured through the speaker.

The noisy studio fell instantly silent. Sidonie’s face, already crimson, darkened further as she lunged forward, frantic to yank Quinn’s phone away.

Quinn lifted her free arm and blocked Sidonie with calm precision. The phone remained aloft, and Sidonie’s recorded voice rolled on without interruption.

“As long as you apologize to me–and I mean apologize to my satisfaction–maybe I’ll go save them. But if you refuse and spoil my mood, I might make a mistake at the controls, and then no one gets rescued.

“But that day, Ms. Stonehurst, you said on board that, because of your fiancé, you didn’t dare move forward. You insisted that if anything happened ahead, you’d land somewhere safe first, let your fiancé off, and only then continue the rescue.”

The rescue worker who had shared Sidonie’s helicopter suddenly stood and spoke.

The moment those words left his mouth, the studio erupted again.

Sidonie’s flushed cheeks drained to chalk white.

“Ms. Stonehurst, wasn’t your fiancé on that helicopter to help in the rescue?” the Host asked at once.

Although the on–air fiasco was unexpected, the potential ratings boost was undeniable.

“Y–yes… he was there to help in the rescue,” Sidonie answered awkwardly.

She certainly couldn’t admit that she had brought Trent along merely so he could witness Quinn’s failure

“She even used trapped workers as leverage to force an apology. That’s sick. How does someone like her dare come on a talk show?”
