Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Trent Demands Answers

Laura gave a small nod. Watching the tall man open the car door for Quinn like a dutiful chauffeur, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and shrug.

If those scions back in Jexburgh saw their infamous ‘little tyrant’ acting like a loyal puppy in front of a woman, they’d probably lose their minds.

Harlan pulled up in front of the mansion and brought the car to a stop.

“So, this is where you live?” he said. “It’s actually not far from my place.”

Despite the short distance, they hadn’t crossed paths once in the last three years.

“Jexburgh isn’t exactly huge,” Quinn replied with a faint smile.

“I’ll drop by and visit you sometime,” Harlan offered casually.

“Don’t,” Quinn said.

His expression faltered, but then, her next words lit up his face.

“I’m planning to move out. I won’t be living here much longer.”

“Then let me know when you do,” Harlan said brightly. “I’ll come help you move.”

After saying goodbye, Quinn stepped out of the car and walked up to the door of the mansion.

But the moment she entered, she froze. Trent stood just inside the foyer, arms crossed, his eyes dark and cold. “Who dropped you off just now? Was it Julius?”

Quinn frowned. “No. He’s a colleague from military camp.”

“A colleague?” Trent’s voice dripped with disbelief. “Since when did your army buddies start driving cars worth millions?”

Quinn had no patience for this. All she wanted was a shower and some peace.

She turned to head upstairs, ignoring him. But before she could take another step, Trent suddenly grabbed her arm. “What’s wrong? Nothing to say? You keep accusing me of being involved with Sidonie, but look at you, slinking around with Julius. When did that start?”

Quinn froze for a moment, stunned. Of all people, he’s pairing me with Julius?

“I have nothing to do with Julius,” she said coldly. “Just because you’re shameless doesn’t mean everyone else is.”

Color rose to Trent’s cheeks. “Then explain this,” he barked. “Why did Julius answer your phone? He said you were asleep. Were you sleeping next to him?”
