“It’s all because of Quinn! That b*tch! I always said we shouldn’t have welcomed her into our family, Penelope grumbled, all the while nursing her pain.

Her cheeks were flushed and swollen, and every word she spoke triggered a pang of pain.

“Mom! That’s enough! Stop bad–mouthing Quinn. We’ve been married for three years, and she’s never wronged me!” Trent shouted. In reality, it was he who had wronged her. “Without her, would I even be living the life I have now?”

“Trent, are you really siding with Quinn? Just because of that one million five hundred thirty thousand?” Jacinda complained discontentedly. “She only gave you that small amount of money to start your business. The success of your venture is your achievement, and she has nothing to do with it!”

Trent was silent. He had once thought the same, but at that moment, he wasn’t so sure anymore.

“We’re not officially divorced yet, so I’m still her husband now. Shouldn’t I side with her?” Trent said.

Jacinda was taken aback. “Trent, what’s gotten into you? You’ve never sided with Quinn before!”

Trent was taken aback, a flash of surprise crossing his face.

He realized then that, ever since they got married, he had never truly sided with her.

Whenever she had a conflict with others, he would habitually blame her.

The feelings of self–reproach and regret grew stronger within him. Suddenly, he blurted out, “How much money do you guys still have? Give me some.”

“Trent, you’re not seriously thinking of giving Quinn one million five hundred thirty thousand, are you?” Jacinda asked.

“I’m not giving it to her. I’m returning it. Whatever you have, give me all of it,” he said.

“I–I don’t have any money!” Jacinda evasively avoided Trent’s gaze, a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Penelope also said, “You mentioned earlier that the company was short on funds and asked me to give you some money. Naturally, I don’t have much left to spare”

In reality, she did have some money. However, she couldn’t bear the thought of Trent giving her money to Quinn.

Trent was filled with disappointment. “Never mind. I’ll think of another way.”

After speaking, he left the mansion immediately and found Sidonie.

“Sidonie, c–could you borrow me some money?” Trent asked hesitantly. “The company’s funds were tight before, and all my money is tied up there. I don’t have one million five hundred thirty thousand in cash.”

A look of dilemma crossed Sidonie’s face. “I told you before. I can lend you up to one hundred thousand from my savings, but that’s all I have. After all, I’ve only just become a co–pilot, and my income isn’t that high.”

Trent gritted his teeth and asked, “What about the jewelry, then?”

“Jewelry?” Sidonic paused in surprise.

“Could you pawn a piece or two of the jewelry I gave you before, just enough to gather up one million five hundred thirty thousand? Once my company’s financial issues are resolved, I’ll buy them back for you,” Trent urgently suggested.

That was the only way he could think of to raise one million five hundred thirty thousand in the shortest time.

“What’s wrong, Trent?” Sidonie’s voice echoed in his ears.
