Sidonie’s expression stiffened. She wanted to retort, but for a moment, she couldn’t find a reasonable explanation.

Visibly annoyed, Trent said, “Quinn, does your friend really need to kick up such a big fuss in public?”

Laura snapped, “I’m the one who can’t stand it; what has it got to do with Quinnie?”

Trent was convinced that Quinn was intentionally trying to embarrass him. “What exactly do you want for your friend to keep quiet? Do you want me to compensate you? Fine, what do you want me to compensate you with?”

Quinn looked at the fuming man before her, and once again, she felt his indifference toward her. It was a stark contrast to the care he showed Sidonie.

How could I have been so naive back then, thinking I could make him fall in love with me?

“I don’t want any of your compensation. I just want to resign!” she declared.

“What?” Trent was taken aback, and even Yorick was surprised.

“I’ll hand in my resignation tomorrow,” Quinn said. “I’ll wrap up all my ongoing tasks and hand them over. After that, everything related to Grafton Technologies will have nothing to do with me.”

Since she was getting a divorce, she decided to completely sever all ties with Trent. If she was going to end things, a clean break was needed.

“Are you threatening me?” Trent frowned. “Just because I didn’t protect you when the gunshot sounded, you’re using resignation as a threat?”

“No, I’m negotiating with you!” Quinn said, “I’m resigning. The future operation of Grafton Technologies has nothing to do with me. As for you and Sidonie, whatever you two do is none of my business!”

As more and more people began to turn their attention toward them, Trent rubbed his temple. “Fine. If you want to resign, so be it. This period of time could be a good opportunity for you to clear your mind.”

Without uttering another word, Quinn took Laura’s hand and left the police station.

Inside the police station, Yorick wore an expression of disbelief. “I can’t believe it. She’s really quitting? Does she really think she can find a better job out there?”

“Since she wants to quit, let her. It won’t be long before she comes crawling back,” Trent said dismissively.

“I can’t stand people who use their jobs as bargaining chips, constantly ready to quit over trivial matters. It’s a total waste of what she learned at the National Defense University!” Sidonie said disdainfully.

“So what if she graduated from the National Defense University? Once she actually goes out and looks for a job, she’ll probably end up just waiting tables or doing odd jobs!” Yorick mocked.

Sidonie laughed.

Indeed, what did it matter if she had graduated from the National Defense University? She is still perceived as nothing more than a woman who is prone to jealousy and reliant on men. Once she has lost the man she depended on, she is incapable of doing anything. Having been married for three years, all she did was merely pass the time in Trent’s company. This is why I despise such women!

Chapter 7 The Resignation

The following day, Quinn arrived at the office and shared her decision to resign with the members of her project team.

“Quinn, you’re leaving? Why so sudden?”

“What will happen to the project once you leave?”

The employees at the company were unaware that Quinn was actually Trent’s wife. Only Trent’s secretary knew about the marriage.

However, everyone in the project team knew about Quinn’s exceptional abilities. Any project under Quinn’s management would inevitably achieve success.

The prospect of changing the project leader at this point had everyone deeply worried.

“Mr. Grafton will soon have someone take over,” Quinn said. After grabbing the printed resignation report, she walked into Trent’s office.

In the office, aside from Trent, Jacinda was also present.

As he stared at the resignation letter in front of him, Trent’s expression darkened slightly. “Are you really resigning?”

“I thought I made myself clear yesterday,” said Quinn nonchalantly.

“If you’re using resignation as a trick, I must say, you’ve greatly disappointed me,” Trent remarked.

Suddenly, Quinn felt an urge to laugh out of frustration. After all, she was the one who was truly disappointed.

“Trent, I’ll definitely complete this project successfully!” Whatever Quinn is capable of, I can certainly do better!

Jacinda held nothing but contempt for Quinn. During the handover of duties, she even had the audacity to say, “I thought your job was difficult, but it’s actually quite simple. It seems you’ve really been freeloading on Trent’s company.”

Quinn ignored Jacinda’s sarcasm, but members of the project team understood it clearly.

Simple? How is this simple at all? The content of Quinn’s project proposal is filled with complex technical knowledge. It is incredibly difficult, alright?

However, the fact that Jacinda could say such a thing only proves that she doesn’t understand the drone project at all. How can such a person be in charge?

However, no one present dared to voice these thoughts. After all, Jacinda was the beloved younger sister of the

“Don’t worry, I won’t be coming back. I think you’re the one who needs charity,” Quinn quipped.
