Chapter 28 All Exposed
+5 Free Coins
Quinn found it utterly ridiculous. After three years of marriage, all she had sacrificed for Trent and his family seemed completely unappreciated.
She mocked herself for once, thinking of them as family and pouring her heart and soul into caring for them.
“Alright, you can do whatever you want with this woman. The more miserable you make her, the better!” Jacinda ordered the two burly men.
Two men approached Quinn, their faces breaking into lewd smirks.
Quinn glared at Penelope and Jacinda. “Have you ever considered Trent’s feelings? No matter what, I am his wife! He would never allow this!”
As she spoke, her right hand, hidden beneath her gown, was firmly clutching her phone.
Her fingers danced across the screen, which was faced downward.
Even without looking at the screen, she could type accurately, a skill she had honed from her time in the special forces.
Trent was right there in the hotel at the time. If only he had answered that call, he could have rushed over and prevented everything that was about to unfold.
“Haha, my brother already has Sidonie, why would he care about you? Even if he did find out, he wouldn’t mind!” Jacinda mocked.
Quinn pursed her lips, having already dialed the number. She had set her phone’s volume so low that only she could hear it.
Trent looked at the cellphone in his hand; the incoming call displayed Quinn’s name.
Just as he was about to answer the call, Sidonie spoke up from beside him. “It’s Quinn calling, isn’t it? If she’s upset because I’m the one accompanying you to the banquet today, I might as well leave and let her be by your side instead.”
“Don’t bother about her,” Trent said, nonchalantly ending the call.
After all, when Quinn called, it was only ever to complain or fuss over trivial matters. He had more pressing issues to attend to. Once the banquet was over, he would have a proper chat with her.
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet. Sidonie’s voice echoed out next. “Mr. Whitethorn is here today as well. Why don’t we go and greet him?”
Trent looked up, only to see the distinguished Julius, surrounded by a crowd, entering the hotel.
His strikingly handsome features, coupled with the icy demeanor he exuded, gave him an air of superiority. Anyone who made eye contact with him would feel as if he was looking down on them.
Such a person was truly exceptional.
How could I possibly think that someone like that would be attracted to Quinn?
Trent was amused by his past thoughts.
Julius must be acting out of kindness when he took Quinn back to the mansion. After all, both of them are from two different worlds! Inside Room 1205, a sudden heaviness settled in Quinn’s heart the moment Trent hung up.
It’s cold… It feels so cold.
She had given him many opportunities to prove himself, but with each chance she gave, it only resulted in more disappointment.
