hapter 151 Really Lucky


    Trent rushed to grab Sidonie’s hand. “Don’t be scared. I didn’t know you’ve been through all this.”


    “It’s okay. Actually, after the fire rescue back then, I went for some therapy. I thought I was over it, but it seems like that incident still haunts me psychologically.”


    “No wonder you’ve never mentioned this to me. If it weren’t for the idental airing of this news, I wouldn’t have known that my girlfriend was once a firefighting hero. Honestly, you’re amazing. I’m not sure if I’m even good enough for you.”


    Sidonie looked uneasy. “What are you talking about? The investment conference on the ind didn’t go as smoothly as nned, but the final decision hasn’t been made yet. Let’s pay a visit to Bridger Group tomorrow. With your talent and Marley’s help, we’ll surely secure the project.”


    The Bridger family yed a crucial role in the ind development project.


    As long as the Bridger family was willing to help, they could still secure the project.


    “Anyway, there are so many drone experts out there. It’s not just Quinn who can upgrade anti–jamming technology. As long as we secure the project, we can still find the right expert to handle the technical issues,” Sidonie confidently added.


    Trent was slightly relieved. <i>Yes</i><i>, </i><i>once </i><i>I </i><i>secure </i><i>the </i><i>project</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>easily </i><i>approach </i><i>other </i><i>investors </i>with <i>it</i><i>. </i>


    <i>Once </i><i>I </i><i>have </i><i>money</i><i>, </i><i>everything </i>will <i>be </i><i>easy </i><i>to </i><i>handle</i>!


    <i>There </i>will <i>never </i><i>be </i><i>a </i><i>shortage </i><i>of </i><i>skills </i>or <i>talent</i><i>! </i>


    The next day, Trent and Sidonie arrived at Bridger Group.


    Just as the two of them reached the entrance of the lobby, they saw several top executives from Bridger Group emerging from the elevator. A few employees were trailing behind them, briskly walking in their direction.


    Sidonie was taken aback. <i>Are </i><i>they </i><i>here </i><i>to </i><i>wee </i><b><i>us</i></b><i>? </i>


    After <i>all</i>, <i>I’ve </i><i>given </i><i>Marley </i><i>a </i><i>heads </i><i>up </i><i>before </i><iing </i><i>here</i>.


    A triumphant smile spread across Sidonie’s face. “Trent, look, the higher–ups from Bridger Group have alle out to wee you. Like I said, with the people I know, I can absolutely get the Bridger family to take you seriously.”


    Trent smiled as he intended to approach and greet the top executives.


    But in the next moment, thetter acted as if they hadn’t even seen them. They walked past them and headed straight for the door with swift strides.


    The smiles on Sidonie’s and Trent’s faces froze.


    “How could this be…” Sidonie turned her head in disbelief, only to see a ck sedan pulling up to the entrance of the building.


    Someone respectfully opened the back door of the car, and two familiar figures stepped out from inside.


    It was Julius and Quinn.


    A feeling of humiliation exploded within Sidonie.


    The top executives weren’t there to wee her and Trent. Instead, they were there to greet Julius and Quinn.


    Trent felt a sting in his eyes as he watched Quinn stride alongside Julius, nked by the top executives of Bridger Group.


    Suddenly, Quinn nced in his direction, and their eyes met.


    A sense of uneasiness washed over Trent, though he couldn’t quite figure out what had triggered it.


    Quinn’s eyes soon moved past him, as though he were no more than a passing stranger of no importance.


    Trent felt somewhat disappointed.


    The woman who once looked at him as if he was her whole world couldn’t even bother to give him a second nce.


    Once the group had passed by Sidonie and Trent, someone finally approached them. “Sidonie, Mr. Grafton, you’re here.”


    Sidonie looked at the person before her. He was a member of her generation in the Bridger family, named Kyle. He worked in the Public Rtions Department of Bridger Group, under Marley’s supervision.


    “Yeah.” Sidonie forced herself to smile. “Didn’t expect Mr. Whitethorn and Quinn to show up today.”


    “For this ind development project, the Bridger and Whitethorn families are coborating, so of course Mr. Whitethorn would be here,” Kyle replied, his gaze following Quinn as she walked into the elevator. “But I didn’t expect him to bring Quinn along. Who would’ve thought Mr. Whitethorn would fall for a divorced woman? Quinn is really lucky…”


    His voice suddenly faltered as he thought of Quinn’s ex–husband, Trent. He let out an awkwardugh and rubbed his nose. “All right, we should get going too.”


    “Okay,” Sidonie responded with a stiff smile.


    Although Trent had been the one to dump Quinn, it now looked as though she was the true winner.


    In contrast, Sidonie and Trent appeared like the ones who had lost.


    Still, Sidonie couldn’t help but think that someone like Julius wouldn’t stay interested in Quinn for long.
