Chapter 220 A Public Fall From Grace

Quinn watched Penelope’s theatrics with icy detachment.

Trent’s voice hardened. “Quinn, apologize to my mother–now.”

“She attacked me first. I have nothing to apologize for.”

“She’s your elder. Even if she yelled at you or hit you, you should’ve taken it,” Trent snapped.

Laura burst out laughing. “That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year. Trent, you’re divorced–why on earth should Quinn take it?”

Sidonie interjected calmly. “Even after a divorce, Mrs. Grafton is still a senior. Quinn, you shouldn’t argue with your elders. If it were me, I’d endure it–even if she slapped me.”

Penelope’s mood brightened at once. “Sidonie, you’re nothing like Quinn. I could never bring myself to raise a hand against you.”

Sidonie’s lips curved in quiet triumph. Laura pretended to retch.

If that honor really disappeared… what would happen to me?

Just then a second news item flashed across the giant screen.

It was Nimbus Air’s live press conference!

Sidonie’s eyes locked onto the electronic billboard, unblinking

“After a thorough investigation, Nimbus Air has decided to terminate Ms. Sidonie Stonehurst; effective immediately, she no longer holds any post with the company…”

Sidonie’s face drained of color. No. This can’t be real! Fire me without even notifying me first? Impossible!

At that very moment her phone buzzed. Hands trembling, she opened the text–Nimbus Air’s official notice ending her contract stared back at her.

“Sidonie, what’s this about your Firefighting Hero title being revoked? And why is Nimbus Air saying they’re letting you go?” Penelope demanded, baffled.
