Chapter 60 Illegal Substance
“We still have some time before your flight, so I’ll keep you company. Once you’re at the boarding gate, I’ll head back,” said Laura. “Surely, you wouldn’t deny me the chance to send Mr. and Mrs. Bridger off!”
“All right, then,” said Quinn.
The two of them were already at the airport, but it wasn’t yet time to board the plane. Thus, they settled down to wait in the departure lounge.
Quinn gazed down at the cremation urn in her arms. Soon, she would be able to bring Montague and Arlene home.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. “Quinn, what brings you here?”
Quinn looked up, only to see Sidonic, clad in a co–pilot’s uniform, standing right in front of her.
Quinn was slightly taken aback because she didn’t expect to run into Sidonie.
Before Quinn could respond, Laura, who was standing nearby, answered on Quinn’s behalf, “Obviously, she’s here to board a plane! What’s the matter? Does one need your approval to be in the departure lounge?”
Sidonie’s expression shifted slightly. “Aren’t you supposed to divorce Trent today? Quinn, could it be that you’ve changed your mind again and are finding it hard to part ways with Trent?”
Quinn said icily, “I’m already divorced from Trent, so do whatever you want with him from now on!”
Sidonie breathed a sigh of relief. All she needed was for Quinn and Trent to divorce. After that, she could openly be with Trent.
However, as Sidonie looked at Quinn’s cold expression, a sense of displeasure naturally welled up in her heart.
“By the way, you’ve already received the one million five hundred thirty thousand, right?” Sidonie suddenly said. “That one million five hundred thirty thousand came from me pawning a ring. That’s how Trent could afford to give it to you. Quinn, don’t you think you should thank me?”
Off to the side, Laura fumed, “My *ss! How dare you, the mistress, act so righteous? Why don’t you tell us how much you’ve taken from Trent these past two years?”
“Who are you calling a mistress? Show some respect when you speak!” Sidonie snapped. “Do you have any proof? If you don’t, I can sue you for defamation!”
Quinn rose to her feet and said, “Aren’t the documents I presented at the press conference yesterday the best evidence? They show that during my marriage to Trent, he gifted you jewelry worth over fifty million without my knowledge. I can sue for that, right? At least half of those jewels should be mine!”
“What?” Sidonie was abruptly taken aback.
Quinn then mocked, “In other words, it’s not me who should be thanking you, but you who should thanking me, for not making a fuss about Trent giving you all those jewels behind my back! However, you’ve reminded me of something. I’ll be taking this to court, and who knows? You might have to give me

back half of those jewels!”
“You…” Sidonic’s expression changed instantly. The ones beside her were her fellow crew members. They too, began to whisper among themselves.
After all, within Nimbus Air, everyone knew that Sidonie had a close relationship with Trent of Grafton Technologies. Many people had even assumed they were a couple, expressing their envy toward Sidonie for landing a boyfriend who was both wealthy and handsome,
Suddenly, she saw the cremation urn Quinn held in her hands, sparking a flash of malice in her eyes.
“What are you holding there? I’m suspicious it might not be safe. As the co–pilot, I’m now insisting on inspecting the box in your hands!”
