Quinn was looking at the photos. They were taken the previous night on Laura’s terrace. However, those photos were cleverly captured to only show her with Han, conveniently omitting Laura’s presence.
Among them, a particr photo stood out. It showed Han leaning on her shoulder, and she, in turn, held him around his waist.
Quinn’s eyes slightly narrowed. <i>At </i><i>that </i>time<i>, </i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>just </i><i>about </i><i>to </i><i>help </i><i>the </i><i>heavily </i><i>intoxicated </i><i>Han </i><i>into </i><i>the </i>room.
“See? Quinn has cheated with this toy boy, so she’s the one at fault!” Jacinda arrogantly dered. “Trent is actually pretty decent, willing to give somepany shares to Quinn. If you ask me, women like her should be left with nothing!”
“You’re full of it! What are you talking about? Cheating? I was there as well!” Laura retorted.
“Even if you’re trying to defend Quinn, there’s no need to resort to such flimsy lies.” Jacinda scoffed.
“They were at my ce! If you want to frame someone, at least use your brain. Last night, the three of us were drinking together. Quinn was merely helping Han into the room. Besides, Han’s uncle came to pick him up shortly after!” Laura said, clearly annoyed.
“You’re her friend, so naturally, you’d say that. Quinn and this toy boy are having an affair, and you’re clearly covering up for them!” Jacinda said.
Laura red at Jacinda, her eyes zing with fury. She was just about to charge over and give her a good beating, but Han, who was standing nearby, stopped her.
“A toy boy, huh? That’s a first. Never heard someone describe me like that before,” sneered Han, his anger turning intoughter. His piercing, narrow eyes, as dark as the night, stared at Jacinda as if she were nothing more than an object.
A sudden chill ran up Jacinda’s spine.
At the scene, those who knew Han all looked at Jacinda with sympathy. <i>It </i><i>seems </i>like <i>this </i><i>woman </i>is in <i>trouble </i><i>for </i><i>upsetting </i><i>the </i><i>little </i><i>tyrant</i>.
“Can you stand by what you’re saying right now?” Han asked, staring intently at Jacinda.
Jacinda defiantly retorted, “Why not? This photo clearly shows you cheating with Quinn!”
“nder can be punishable by up to three years in prison,” Han said with a coldugh. “The person who came to pick me up yesterday was my uncle, Mr. Yannick Xiberras. He can vouch that Laura was there as well. Are you suggesting that Mr. Xiberras would also lie?”
Yannick Xiberras was a renowned fop–tierwyer in Jexburgh.
Jacinda had also learned of the renownedwyer, Yannick, during her detainment a fe
ys prior.
She initially hoped to have Yannick help her and Penelope clear their names. Unfortunately, Yannick simply refused to take on their case.
“You’re making baseless usations and ndering someone’s fidelity based on these few iplete

photos. What’s this? Do I look like a homewrecker to you?” Han slowly approached Jacinda, looking down at her condescendingly.
Goosebumps broke out all over Jacinda’s body. The man before her gave off a terrifying vibe.
She felt as though he could squash her like an ant at any moment.
As for the others around, they couldn’t help but shiver when they saw Han’s icy expression. How could <i>Mr. </i><i>Ingram</i>, <i>the </i>favored <i>one</i>, possibly be a homewrecker<i>? </i>
Trent wanted to say a few words to ease the tense atmosphere. After all, he hadn’t expected Jacinda to drag Han into the matter.
At that time, Trent knew he couldn’t afford to offend Han because he could not contend with Han’s influence in Jexburgh..
“Mr. Ingram, Jacinda was just-
Before Trent could even finish his sentence, another voice rang out. “Who’s trying to nder Quinn?” Upon hearing the sound, Quinn abruptly turned her head, only to see Dominic making his way into the press conference. To her surprise, Julius was actually apanying Dominic.
Quickly<i>, </i>Quinn approached Dominic and asked, “Mr. Zahn, what brings you here?”
“Why didn’t you tell me about your divorce today? It’s a big deal!” Dominic gazed at Quinn, his criticism. seeminglyyered with underlying concern. His heart ached, especially after he heard people ndering her and making usations of infidelity, which added to his sorrow. If <i>Montague </i><i>and </i><i>Arlene </i><i>could </i>see the injustice Quinn is suffering, they would be utterly heartbroken!
“Montague and Arlene are no longer with us, so I’m your elder. I had toe over when I heard about something as significant as your divorce,” Dominic said.
Quinn’s eyes reddened. Dominic had been a great friend to Montague and Arlene, and he had watched her grow up.
Back then, Dominic was the one who handed her her parents‘ ashes. To her, Dominic was like family.
“Who are you?” Trent asked Dominic. “I’ve never heard Quinn mention anything about an elder!”
Dominic wasn’t in his military uniform when he went over that day. Instead, he was just dressed in regr casual clothes.
“Are you Quinnie’s husband?” Dominic peered sharply at Trent.
Dominic had served in the military for over thirty years. The intense and stern aura he acquired from his years of military immersion weighed heavily on Trent’s spirits.
Before Trent could respond, Penelope from the side was already impatiently dering. Not for long! Trent does not need a woman like Quinn!”
