Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 An Unexpected Encounter

While they waited for their table, Quinn stepped into the ladies‘ room–and unexpectedly came face–to- face with Marley.

Marley looked equally startled; clearly, she had not expected to see Quinn here.

But the surprise in her eyes quickly curdled into resentment.

All because of Quinn, Marley had fallen overnight from the Bridger family’s pampered little princess to their favorite target of ridicule.

Although, for now, only insiders knew the Whitethorn family had cut off her allowance, Marley’s standing within the conglomerate had already begun its very public slide.

At strategic meetings, her chair was simply gone, and the cousins and uncles who once scrambled to flatter her now greeted her with ice–cold faces.

In the past, the moment she needed a favor, they practically tripped over themselves to volunteer.

Now, whenever she asked for help, people dodged with excuse after excuse; one man even barked, “Marley, do you really think you’re the Bridger princess? You only had Julius backing you. Without Julius, what have you got left?”

Suddenly, it felt as though everyone could step on her.

Even without Julius, I’ve still got my own connections!

So, these days, she clung to her trust–fund circle, eager to leverage their networks and bundle resources for

a new venture.

I’ll prove to them all that, Julius or not, I’m still the most capable of my generation.

She hadn’t expected to bump into Quinn at today’s lunch with those same friends.

Marley remembered the first time Quinn arrived in Yarburn: they’d met in a restaurant too, but back then, Marley had the entire Whitethorn clan and Julius behind her, while Quinn had nothing at all.

Now, however, their positions had flipped as though fate had spun them around.

“““Quinn, don’t think you can do whatever you please just because Julius is standing behind you,” Marley sneered.

““Do you really believe you deserve him? So you can fly a plane, know a few combat moves, so you used to be in the military–big deal. The Whitethorns have plenty of pilots and bodyguards already!““”

Why is Julius protecting Quinn? She hasn’t sacrificed a thing for him!
