Divorced But Not Defeated The Military Queen’s Rise Again novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Shocking Words

“Your son is simply unworthy of Quinnic. He wouldn’t even let her bring back her parents‘ ashes! How could he ever be worthy of being Quinnie’s husband?” Dominic exclaimed indignantly.

“Pfft! Expecting my son to bring back such an unlucky thing as ashes? In her dreams!” Penelope spat out. “That day, Quinn came back with a cremation urn, wanting to keep it at home for a few days. I had to slap her to make her stop. If she really dared to keep the cremation urn at home, I would have smashed it. She was trying to bring bad luck to the Grafton family! How vicious…”

Dominic was shaking with rage. Only then did he understand the extent of the humiliation his comrade’s daughter had endured.

Harlan and Laura were visibly upset, and the latter was on the verge of tears.

Finally, Laura understood that there was so much more behind Quinn’s desire for a divorce. How could Trent treat Quinnie like this?

Penelope was growing more and more pleased with herself as she spoke. Suddenly, a chilling male voice rang out. “Slap her!”

Immediately after, a harsh slap landed on Penelope’s face, abruptly silencing her venomous words.

Everyone was taken aback. The slap that had just been dealt was from one of Julius‘ subordinates. However, the person who had given the order was none other than Julius himself.

Penelope was left stunned by the slap. It took her a moment to regain her senses. She then burst out angrily, “How dare you? Quinn, you’re siding with strangers against me. No wonder your parents died young, having a daughter like you!”

“Keep slapping her!” Julius ordered.

The subordinate raised his hand and slapped Penelope repeatedly.

Before long, Penelope’s cheeks had swelled up.

The people around didn’t dare to step forward and intervene. After all, that was Julius, the man who practically ruled half of Jexburgh.

Trent was about to rush forward, but he was stopped by Julius‘ subordinates.

He didn’t dare to lash out at Julius, so he redirected his anger toward Quinn instead. “Quinn, aren’t you going to make them stop? Is this really what you want?”

Quinn kept her lips tightly sealed, remaining completely silent.

If Penelope had only insulted her, she could have shrugged it off. However, the fact that she disrespected Montague and Arlene was absolutely unacceptable.

d

Montague and Arlene were honorable soldiers, fallen heroes who had sacrificed their lives for their country.

The chilling slapping sound continued to echo in the air.

“If something happens to my mom, can you bear the responsibility, Quinn?” Trent roared

“I’ll take responsibility for this!” declared Julius. “If anyone gets hurt or injured, the Whitehorn family will cover all medical and compensation costs!”

“Quinn, is this really necessary?” Trent’s voice was tinged with frustration. “Is it all about the money? Fine! I’ll give you what you want. Will that be enough for you to leave my mother alone?”

Quinn looked at Trent and answered, “Yes. I want the money, but you’re not gifting me one million five hundred thirty thousand. You’re merely paying me back! Back then, when you were starting your business and had no money, I handed you one million five hundred thirty thousand in cash to kick–start your venture! Trent, I’m divorcing you and asking for only one million five hundred thirty thousand. It’s simply because I want to end this marriage once and for all. I can’t stand your family’s nonsense any longer!”
