The divorced military queen awakens novel

Chapter 219 Mall Confrontation Chapter 219 Mall Confrontation Sidonic spotted Quinn and her friend the moment they stepped off the escalator . Her expression changed . and Jacinda strode over in her designer heels , greeting Quinn with a bright , brittle smile . " Quinn , fancy mecting you everywhere I go . " Quinn gave her a cool once - over . " I'm surprised you have time to shop .

Then again , once the court date rolls around , you probably won't be able to shop anymore." Jacinda tossed her hair with practiced arrogance . " You're just hoping Mom and I end up behind bars . Hate to disappoint you - my brother hired an excellent attorney . Nothing will happen to us . " Laura laughed outright . " Only fools stay that naive . You and Penelope lured Quinnie to a hotel rooth and paid someone to drug her .

Your faces were splashed across the hotel's jumbo screen for the whole lobby to see . What third - rate lawyer told you you'd walk away unscathed ? " Jacinda's mouth opened , but no sound came out . Penelope barged forward instead . " Watch your tongue . My son has money to burn - he'd never hire a bargain - bin lawyer . " " Money ? " Laura sneered . " Everyone in the industry knows Grafton Technologies is scrambling for cash . Any money Trent makes , he makes because of Quinnie .

Without her , how much could he earn ? " Penelope snapped , " Hah ! What can Quinn do ? My son built his success on his own . Thank heaven he divorced that woman . Now he's with Sidonie . Only a female pilot like her belongs in our family ." " A female pilot ? " Laura's smile widened . " Let's see how long that title lasts . " Sidonie's brows knit . " Quinn , no matter what , you shouldn't let your friend slander me like this . " " I don't consider it slander . " Quinn's tone stayed light .

" The Stridora Fire Department should release its investigation any day now . We'll see whether you'll still be co - pilot after this . " A flicker of guilt flashed across Sidonie's eyes . Jacinda and Penelope exchanged baffled looks . " What investigation report ? " Sidonie forced a smile . " Nothing . Don't listen to her nonsense . " Quinn noted Sidonie's evasive tone at once . So Penelope and Jacinda have no idea Sidonie abandoned her colleague . Figures .

Jacinda never reads the news - shopping's her only hobby . Penelope barely uses her phone except for calls and video - chatting relatives back home . Laura folded her arins . " Sidonie , you watched a coworker go up in flames and chose not to help . You admitted that on a livestream . Think the airline will keep you after that ? " The color drained from Sidonie's face . Trent's familiar voice rang out behind them .

" Even if Sidonie chose self - preservation in a crisis , she did nothing wrong . Her coworker's death was tragic bad luck , that's all . There's no need to tarnish her reputation ." Quinn met Sidonie's gaze , icy calm . " Are you sure leaving him to die is all you did ? Positive his death had nothing to do with you ? " ။ O 1/2 Chapter 219 Mall Confrontation Sidonie's pulse hammered . " What are you implying ? If I'd broken the law , the police would have arrested me .

Quinn's answer carried a razor's edge . " Give it time . They might really come after you . " Sidonie's shoulders stiffened . She can't know . No one else was there . She forced herself to lift her chin . " Quinn your slander only shows how jealous you are . I live an upright life , and the police don't arrest innocent people . " " Innocent ? " Quinn's laugh was low and cold . Trent's brows drew together . " Quinn , that's enough . You shouldn't speak to Sidonie like that .

" Penelope sniffed in contempt . " No manners whatsoever . Thank goodness my son divorced you " " Exactly , " Jacinda chimed in . " Sidonic treats us to luxury boutiques and designer bags . You were married three years and only gave us cheap trinkets you thought were treasures ." Quinn's smile turned cutting . " Take that up with your brother . He insisted the cheap ring he bought was precious enough to be a wedding band ." Trent's face flushed an ugly shade . Penelope's expression darkened .

She lifted her hand to smack Quinn . " You shameless girl , how dare you insult my son ! " Quinn caught Penelope's wrist mid - air and flung it aside . Penelope clutched her arm , wailing , " Quinn , you hurt me ! I'm calling the police - you assaulted an elderly woman ! " ง
