The divorced military queen awakens novel

Chapter 165 Nothing Serious Because Sidonie had been near the river , her clothes and hair were wet . So the paramedics assumed she was the rescuer . And she , wanting the credit , didn't correct them . She never imagined that the real person who had saved Trent all those years ago was actually Quinn . After a pause , Sidonie asked , " How much does Trent know ? " " Mr. Grafton doesn't know anything yet , " Lindgren replied with a chuckle .

" Since you called me first the next day , I told him we'd talk in person . " Naturally , Sidonie understood that Lindgren had come to her first hoping to gain something . " What do you want ? " " You're the daughter of the Stonehurst family and will marry Mr. Grafton eventually . Mr. Grafton is valuable . If he finds out you lied about saving him , he might not want to be with you anymore . " " Name your price ," Sidonie said through gritted teeth . " Fifty million!

" Lindgren said without hesitation . " What ? " Sidonie's eyes widened . That was a ridiculous amount . " I don't have that kind of money . My family is just a side branch of the Stonehurst family . We only get a few million a year . Plus , I've only recently started working as a co - pilot . I haven't saved much ." " But Mr. Grafton gave you a lot of jewelry , right ?

At the press conference where he and Quinn announced their divorce , Quinn said the jewelry he gave you over the years was worth around fifty million ." Clearly , Lindgren had done his research before meeting Sidonie . Sidonie clenched her teeth . Damn it ! It's those jewels again ! Quinn had used them to her advantage before , and now Lindgren was doing the same . " I can't sell them . It'd make Trent suspicious . I can only give you five hundred thousand in cash for now .

Once we're married , I'll pay the rest ." " Five hundred thousand ? You think I'm some kind of beggar ? " Lindgren retorted bluntly . Sidonie held back her anger and stepped back . " Fine , go ahead and tell Trent everything . You won't get anything from me ! Even if Trent gets mad at me for lying , I can make him forgive me ! " Sure enough , Lindgren hesitated when he heard that . " Besides , " Sidonie added , " you already know everything .

If I don't give you the rest of the money , you could tell Trent anytime ! " " All right then , " Lindgren said . " I want the five hundred thousand by tomorrow . And after you marry Trent , you must give me the remaining amount ! " " Sure , " Sidonie agreed quickly . 1/2 What she needed most was time . As long as she could get Trent to marry her , she believed she could deal with the rest . Even if Trent found out the truth later , she was confident he would still choose to stay with her .

As for Lindgren , he was dreaming if he thought he'd really get the money . Sidonie smiled . In the end , she believed she would be the true winner . After being discharged from the hospital , Quinn returned to Julius ' mansion . But according to what Julius said , she wouldn't need to work as his bodyguard anymore . " Why ? Is it because I got hurt this time ? " " There's no need anymore . The military sent you to protect me because some people in the Whitethorn family didn't support me .

They worried something might happen to me that would affect our joint projects . But now , no one in the Whitethorn family is left to oppose me , so I'm not in danger anymore . " Quinn looked at him with mixed feelings , unsure whether to fully believe him . " You forgot what I promised ? I said I wouldn't lie to you . " Just then , Quinn's phone rang . She picked it up and saw it was a call from Dominic . " Mr. Zahn ! " " Quinnie , I heard you were hurt .

You already left the service , and I feel bad for pulling you back and getting you injured , " Dominic said , sounding very guilty . " It's just a small injury , nothing serious ." " Still , you must take good care of yourself . From now on , your mission as a bodyguard is over . You don't need to protect Julius anymore . " Quinn was shocked . That was basically a direct order to end the mission . After the call , she turned to Julius and asked , " Did you talk to the military about this ? "
