The divorced military queen awakens novel

Chapter 144 The Incomplete Proposal In response to Shaun's words , everyone else naturally began to applaud . Out of the blue , Quinn's voice arose . " Trent , I never thought you'd not only take over my patent but also use the business plan I wrote back then . " Trent pursed his lips and said , " This proposal belongs to Grafton Technologies , Quinn . Even if you've resigned , anything you did during your tenure belongs to the company .

" " It seems you have no self - respect at all , " Quinn mocked . Trent's face suddenly flushed a deep red . " Quinn , if you continue to belittle me like this , I won't hold back on account of our past relationship anymore ! " Quinn found Trent's behavior utterly amusing . If he truly had feelings for me , then why was I so miserable after three years of marriage ? " Trent , since when have you cared for our past relationship ? " Quinn mocked .

" All this while , Sidonie is the only one you cared for , right ? " " You- " Trent felt his throat tighten , while Sidonie , once again , found herself the center of attention . " Also , haven't you forgotten ? I resigned before this project proposal was even completed . So , it's still incomplete , " said Quinn . " What ? " Trent was taken aback . " Incomplete ? " He hadn't even realized that it was incomplete . In his eyes , the entire project proposal seemed comprehensive .

" The patent of mine mentioned in the proposal can indeed greatly enhance the efficiency and application range of drones , " Quinn began . " However , that patent was from three years ago . In three years , technology has advanced , and so has the technology to interfere with drones . If someone deliberately released the latest interference signal , then these drones would be rendered useless . So , my patent needs to include an anti - interference program !

" If she hadn't divorced , she would naturally have taken the research results of this patent to the next level . However , since Trent insisted on seizing the patent , she decided to let him have it , but there was a catch- he couldn't use it despite owning it . Trent's face turned pale , instantly realizing what Quinn's words meant - all the careful preparations he had made were now in vain .

Unless the issues pointed out by Quinn could be resolved , the project proposal held no value at all . At that moment , everyone else had also come to the same realization . So , it turns out that this tech prodigy , who is highly regarded by Mr. Wane , has handed in a proposal and patent that relied entirely on his ex - wife's work ? What's his contribution then ? Just presenting the proposal in public ? But anyone could have done it ! " Is Trent really competent ?

" 1/2 " He's already divorced from his ex - wife , yet he's still using her work to compete for the project ? " " Why didn't he produce his own proposal ? " " Could it be that his success was all down to his ex - wife ? " These hushed whispers , to Trent , were nothing short of an insult . Unfortunately , there was no way he could defend himself . " So , Mr. Wane , do you still plan to discuss Grafton Technologies ' project proposal ? " Julius asked . Shaun chuckled wryly .

Obviously , there's no such need now ! " Let's move on to the next representative then ," said Shaun . Trent froze on the spot , lost in a daze until the host asked him to step down . Only then did he walk stiffly off the stage . " Trent , it's okay, " Sidonie stepped forward to reassure him . " We can still come up with a better proposal . I believe in you ! " However , her words only served to make Trent feel as though a massive weight was pressing down on his chest , suffocating him .

If he could have come up with a better proposal , he wouldn't have had to rely on Quinn's proposal in the first place . It was precisely because all of his and his team's proposals had been rejected that they had to resort to using Quinn's . What was more shocking to him was that he had even planned to utilize Quinn's patent to expand the company , swiftly dominating the commercial drone market . But now , Quinn's words had left him feeling utterly defeated .

If the patent can't be used , then … what will happen to my company ? Setting aside the idea of dominating the commercial drone market , it would likely miss out on the island development project and might even go bankrupt due to cash flow problems . I can't accept such an outcome , no matter what ! Suddenly , Trent looked up , his gaze fixed intensely on Quinn . After the island had wrapped up , a charity fundraiser was held in the evening , marking the final event before leaving the island .
