“Stop it. They were just talking nonsense. They didn’t mean to hurt your feelings!” Trent said.
Disappointment flickered in Quinn’s eyes. Even when she was slandered to that extent, Trent still wouldn’t defend her in the slightest.
“What would it take for their words to be considered hurtful? Do I need to kneel, slap myself, and say I shouldn’t have married you?” Quinn sneered. “Don’t forget that it was you who proposed to me in the first place, Trent!”
Trent’s buddies exchanged uneasy glances, and even Sidonie’s complexion seemed a bit off.
A flash of displeasure crossed Trent’s eyes as he grabbed Quinn’s hand. “Let’s not do this here. Let’s talk at
home.”
“No. Let’s just say everything right here.” Quinn shrugged off his hand. “Frankly, you and Sidonie make a good pair. One’s a cheater, and the other’s a mistress. I wish the two you to live happily ever after.”
The color drained from Trent’s face, while Sidonie’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.
One of Trent’s buddies, Yorick, retorted, “Quinn, what gives you the right to speak ill of Sidonie? In what way do you think you can compare to her? What makes you think Quinn should love you, an orphan and a graduate from a diploma mill, instead of Sidonie?”
“What a load of bullsh*t!” Laura stormed forward, fuming. “What nonsense about a diploma mill? Quinn graduated from National Defense University!”
“Hahaha!” Laughter erupted all around. “Can you believe that a graduate from a diploma mill is actually saying that she graduated from National Defense University?”
“Quinn, you and your friend are truly two peas in a pod. You two are equally shameless!”
Sidonie’s complexion had significantly improved as she stood up, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “If you’re going to brag, you should back it up openly. Falsely claiming your own qualifications will only make you a clown!”
Laura was livid. “Why would there be a need to lie? You can easily verify it on the academic website!”
Quinn held her friend back, her cool gaze fixed on Sidonie. “I don’t need you to judge my educational background!”
Sidonie frowned upon hearing that. Clearly, she’s just been exposed for falsely claiming her qualifications. She should be feeling guilty and embarrassed. Why does she seem so unabashedly calm about it? Her attitude is unsettling!
Just then, Sidonie caught sight of a few figures approaching from not too far away, looking as though they were about to pass by their table.
Among them, there was one individual she recognized.
“Professor Griffin!” Sidonic called out, a smile dancing on her lips. “It’s been a while. Are you also here for a meal? What a coincidence.”
Gordon Griffin recognized Sidonie and said, “Oh, it’s you. It’s been a while.”
Gordon had some connections with the Stonehurst family, and they interacted occasionally.

“You’re a professor at National Defense University. Interestingly, someone at our table claims to be a graduate from there. I wonder if you might know her,” Sidonie said.
Meanwhile, the others, as if anticipating a spectacle, chimed in, “Exactly! Quinn, didn’t you say you graduated from National Defense University? You must surely recognize your own professors!”
With a leisurely stride, Quinn moved forward. “Professor Griffin, it’s been a while.”
“Wow! You really know how to put on a show!”
“You really see yourself as a graduate from National Defense University, huh?”
“How could Professor Griffin possibly know you?”
The belittling and mocking words were echoing around, but they came to an abrupt halt when they saw Gordon gently patting Quinn’s shoulder.
“I didn’t expect to see you here. It’s been several years since we last met,” Gordon said.
“That’s right. It’s been quite a few years. How have you been keeping?” Quinn responded.
“Everything’s fine! I’ve heard about the matter regarding your parents. My condolences,” Gordon said with a soft sigh.
“Thanks,” Quinn responded softly.
Those who had originally planned to enjoy the spectacle were all wearing faces of surprise at that moment.
Sidonie’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. “Professor Griffin, d–do you really know her?”
“Of course. I used to teach her. How could I not know her? Back then, she was the top science student in Jexburgh. Her arrival at the campus even caused quite a stir,” Gordon stated.
Those who had been waiting to see a spectacle, at that moment, their faces couldn’t be described as anything less than unsightly.
Quinn was the top science student in Jexburgh. Anyone who studied knew just how difficult it was to achieve such a status.
In fact, she could definitely be described as a genius.
Moreover, it was said that getting into National Defense University was even more challenging than Qudnard University. Not only did one need excellent academic performance, but one also had to be physically fit.
The color in Sidonie’s face fluctuated between shades of red and white. Just a moment ago, she had been confidently dismissing Quinn as a mere clown.
At that moment, it seemed as though she had become the clown.
Trent was also full of surprise. He had never known about these things. Quinn had never mentioned her accolades to him before.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the wife he had shared his life with for three years.
However, at that moment, without the shield of an umbrella, the man’s face was even more clearly etched in her eyes.
