The divorced military queen awakens novel

Chapter 172 The Right Time " If I really sue Julius , then I'd be completely going against the Whitethorn family , wouldn't I ? " Trent said . Although he was angry , he understood that he was still far from being strong enough . If he were to sue Julius , he was worried the companies he worked with might end their partnerships , afraid of the Whitethorn family's power . That could cause even more problems . Sidonie understood this too , but she couldn't accept it .

" So you're saying your injury means nothing ? " " Think of it as the price I paid for hurting Quinn ." Trent sighed with a bitter smile . At that moment , the blood on his fingertips had been cleaned away . If he'd known earlier that Quinn's arm was injured , he never would have grabbed it . " Do you still care about Quinn ? " Sidonie asked indignantly . " Even after she tried to ruin me , you still feel bad for her just because she bled a little ?

" Trent quickly explained , " It's not that I care about Quinn , but we were married for three years . I never wanted her to get hurt ! And are you sure she's the one who sent that message to the reporter ? " " Who else could it be ? That time with the fire video showing up on the screen at the island , and now this orphanage thing - she was at both places . Don't tell me that's just a coincidence ! She's clearly jealous and trying to get back at me because I have you ! " Trent stayed quiet .

Is that really true ? " But she didn't have any proof . Why did she say you abandoned your colleague ? Could she really have evidence ? " " That's impossible! " Sidonie shouted , sounding more upset than usual . Trent looked at Sidonie in surprise . Realizing her tone was too harsh , Sidonie quickly added , " I've never done anything like that . Quinn can't have any proof . She's just saying things to ruin my name ! Trent , you believe me , right ? " " Of course , " Trent replied .

He had no reason to doubt Sidonie . Sidonie smiled and leaned into Trent's arms . " So , we're officially a couple now . When do you think we should tell everyone ? " Trent's heart sank . Is now really the right time ? It has only been three months since my divorce . If I were to announce my relationship with Sidonie now … Noticing Trent's hesitation , Sidonie became upset . " You're not planning to keep our relationship a secret , are you ? If so , why didn't you reject me that night ?

If you had , I never would've been with you ! " She angrily pushed Trent away and pretended to leave . Trent quickly stopped her . " Sidonie , I didn't mean it like that . It's just that I got divorced recently . If we tell everyone right now , it might hurt your reputation . So maybe we should wait a bit and find a better time ." The displeasure on Sidonie's face gradually faded . " All right then , we'll wait until the right time .

" As she lowered her head , a hidden cunning look passed through her eyes . 1/2 Chapter 17 The Right Time She knew his concern for her reputation was just an excuse . What he really cared about was how it might affect his company and image . Since he cared so much about how things looked , she would make sure to find the perfect moment to force him to admit they were together . A few days later , Quinn followed Julius to the office building of Whitethorn Group in Yarburn .

Many of the staff had seen Quinn before . She used to act like a bodyguard , always staying close to Julius and keeping him safe . Julius had replaced the entire security team after Quinn was shot in the underground parking lot . The Whitethorn family in Jexburgh had also gone through several changes . News of what happened to them had reached Yarburn , and people had heard bits and pieces of the story .

Because of that , many people at the Yarburn office , especially the leaders and those connected to the Whitethorn family , were all nervous , worried they might get dragged into the trouble . Luckily , Julius hadn't been coming to the company much lately , which helped calm things down a bit . But that day , when Julius and Quinn showed up together , many people started to feel something wasn't quite right .

Nathan Lamorde , who had taken over Fabian's duties after he got hurt , especially , was shocked the moment he walked into the Chairman's office . He saw Julius kneeling in front of Quinn , gently holding her right foot with one hand and staring at it closely .
