Chapter 115 Give It Away


    Her indifferent gaze sent a shiver through Trent’s heart.


    The look she gave him was so icy, as if he had be someone insignificant to her now.


    “What do you mean the ne belongs to Sidonie? You gifted it to her using our shared marital assets, something I never agreed to! Therefore, this ne was never hers to begin with, let alone return. Once we’re back in Jexburgh, I’ll take legal action to reim it!” Quinn dered.


    She constantly gave in, yet the duo took it for granted. How ridiculous.


    “Quinn, when ites down to it, you’re just after the money, aren’t you?” Sidonie spat out in frustration. “When you divorced, you said you only wanted one hundred and fifty three million. But now, you’re eyeing these expensive pieces of jewelry. Isn’t that why you’re trying to take them away?”


    “And what about you? You don’t want money? Then why ept these jewels? You don’t want people to call you a mistress, yet you ept these jewels. Can’t you buy them yourself? Why must you have a married man gift them to you?” Quinn retorted without mincing her words.


    Sidonie was so upset that her face turned beet red.


    Especially at this moment, outside the Bridger residence, there were also members of the Bridger family’s security team.


    They had heard Quinn’s words as well.


    “Let’s go,” Quinn said to Han.


    “All right,” Han obediently agreed, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant demeanor toward Trent and Sidonie.


    “Trent, Quinn was really out of line just now!” Sidonie said to Trent, “If she had just admitted she wanted these jewels, I would have given them to her. But she acted so duplicitously! I can’t stand people like that. There’s no way she’s getting what she wants!”


    Trent was merely staring nkly at the departing car, his mind filled with the indifferent gaze Quinn had given him earlier.


    When she left, she didn’t even spare him another nce.


    <i>Could </i><i>it </i><i>really </i><i>be </i><i>that </i><i>she </i><i>no </i><i>longer </i><i>cares </i><i>about </i><i>me </i><i>at </i><i>all</i>?!


    Trent was suddenly struck by a sharp pain in his chest. This pain, it seemed, was slowly spreading throughout his body with each pulse of his blood.


    “Trent!” Sidonie raised her voice, trying


    to get his attention. At that moment, Trent was just like he had been at the banquet yesterday,pletely captivated by the sight of Quinn leaving. He was so engrossed that he didn’t even notice Sidonie standing right beside him.


    This made Sidonie increasingly ufortable.


    Regaining hisposure, Trent finally spoke. “I’ll figure something out. Since I gave these jewels to you in the first ce, they naturally belong to you.”


    A hint of amusement finally graced Sidonie’s face. “Unfortunately, they took the ne!”


    “Once thepany secures the ind development project, I’ll buy you something even better,” Trent promised. Regardless of anything else, his primary reason foring to Yarburn was to utilize Sidonie’s connections to win the ind development project in Yarburn.


    Only in this way could he rescue thepany from its predicament. It would also serve as proof that thepany’s sess and its potential for going public were all due to his own efforts, not because of Quinn.


    “Okay. With my help, you’ll definitelynd the great project,” Sidonie assured, hooking her arm through Trent’s. “Come on. Let me take you inside the house and introduce you to the Bridger family!”


    Meanwhile, inside the car, Quinn instructed Han, “Let’s head to the charity association first.”


    “What for?” Han asked, puzzled.


    “To give away this ne,” she said.


    An hourter, Quinn had finished all the donation procedures at the charity association. The ne would be auctioned off, with all proceeds from the auction going to Operation Hope Elementary School, which aided children who had dropped out of school.


    “It’s a good thing you gave away that piece of jewelry. If in the future, you fancy any jewelry, I’ll buy it for you, Quinnie!” Han said.


    “I’m not really into jewelry,” Quinn stated. The only piece she truly cared about was a ruby ne. It was the same one her mother had used years ago to barter for food and medicine, saving fifty orphans in the


    process<b>. </b>


    However, she had managed to retrieve this ne. In retrospect, this was perhaps the only gain she had from her three–year marriage to Trent.


    “By the way, did youe looking for me for a specific reason?” Quinn asked.


    Feeling slightly uneasy, Han moistened his lips before he asked, “Are you and Julius dating?”


    Quinn was taken aback, not expecting Han to also ask her this question. “Don’t tell me you’ve also seen the trending topics online. I’m not dating him. It just so happened that I ran into Trent and Sidonie at the banquet yesterday. Julius was merely helping me out,” she exined.


    “Help?” Han said in a low voice, “He’s not exactly the type to lend a hand to others.”


    “Maybe it’s because I was hispanionst night.”


    Yesterday, the words spoken by Julius were indeed serious. However, the look in his eyes when he gazed at her could, at most, only be considered as fondness. It was not the kind of look one gives to a beloved.
