?Chapter 942:
Just picturing Cole’s possessive re made herugh quietly. “I was once married to Cole,” she said simply. “That engagement ended a long time ago.”
For a brief moment, Quentin’s smile slipped as he dropped his gaze, concealing whatever emotion had surfaced behind his eyes. She couldn’t even guess what was going on in his mind.
But only a momentter, Quentin looked up, his warm, elegant mask perfectly in ce, his smile as gentle as ever.
A short distance away, Trinity, surrounded by her entourage, watched Lh and Quentin, her eyes shooting daggers their way.
Thanks to Wanda’s intervention, Trinity had dodged the fallout from the fountain incident, but herst few days had been miserable. Her n to expose “Lh’s ugly face” had blown up in her own, leaving her humiliated.
To make matters worse, rumors had been flying that both Milton and Cole had taken a liking to Lh.
For that, Wanda had chewed Trinity out, threatening her within an inch of her life if she ever pulled a stunt like that again.
Now, Trinity simmered with jealousy and rage, her frustration growing each day. She was supposed to be the “It Girl” of LJblent0 Medical University. With the Evans and Campbell families behind her, she had influence that most could only dream of. Wanda, her older sister, held a professorship at the Enlightenment Institute, and Murray, famous in his own right, had taken her under his wing. All eyes were meant to be on her. She was supposed to outshine her peers.
Instead, all eyes had drifted to Lh, and Trinity could barely stand it.
“She’s such a shameless flirt,” one of Trinity’s friends muttered. “She stole the spotlight at the ceremony, has Milton and Cole wrapped around her finger, and now she’s hanging onto Quentin! Who knows how many guys she’s leading on?”
“Let’s catch…”

“Her in the act and st it all over the school forum,” another girl whispered. “That’ll destroy her reputation for good.”
Trinity wasn’t fully interested in their n. Wanda’s warning still echoed in her mind, and the thought of openly going against Wanda was unthinkable.
Even so, Trinity had no intention of letting Lh bask in the spotlight. She might not be able to do much in front of Milton, but Cole was another story.
With a sly grin, Trinity snapped a picture of Lh and Quentin leaning close and sent it straight into the Evans family group chat.
Trinity had been humiliating herself so muchtely that she could hardly bring herself to set foot in the Evans estate, let alone say anything in their family chat. Still, her determination to paint Lh as someone promiscuous gave her the nerve she needed today.
Trinity slipped a string of photos into the group chat. The images showed Lh and Quentin leaning in close, caught up in conversation. After that, she added a message: “Take a look at this. Lh sure doesn’tck admirers. Ever since the opening ceremony, guys have been lining up for her attention. And today, she’s even getting cozy with Quentin, the Hudson family’s heir.”
Trinity let the message sit for a moment before tossing in a shocked emoji. “Oh my god, I didn’t mean to send this here! I was gossiping about Lh with my friends, and it slipped into the wrong chat. I’m so sorry to bother you all. I’ll recall the pictures right now!”
