In an instant, a sharp pain pierced his heart.
“What’s wrong?” Sidonie asked upon noticing his unusual reaction as he held her in his arms.
“It… It’s nothing.” Trent pursed his parched lips.
How could Quinn possibly ditch me? I must have made a mistake earlier.

The gunshots, after ringing out a few times, ceased. The Whitethorn’s security personnel swiftly stormed into the restaurant, surrounding the middle–aged man who had fired the shots.
Right then, the middle–aged man had his gun aimed at Julius, resulting in a standoff.
“Julius… My brother went bankrupt because of the Whitethorn family. He lost everything, including his life. I demand you pay for my brother’s life with your own!” the middle–aged man shouted, his tone filled with hatred.
“Really?” Even with a gun pointed at him, there was not a trace of fear on Julius‘ face. He even walked calmly toward the middle–aged man.
“There are many who want me dead, but can you actually make it happen?”
“Don’t… Don’t come any closer!” The middle–aged man clearly hadn’t expected Julius to approach him and was panicking. “If you take another step, I’ll shoot!”
However, Julius didn’t stop, quickening his pace with each passing moment instead
Everyone around was practically holding their breath as they watched the scene unfold.
As Julius was nearly upon him, the man finally succumbed to his panic, pulling the trigger.
However, in the next moment, Julius had seized the gun in the man’s hand, causing the bullet to miss its mark.
“You… You…” The man stared in disbelief.
In an instant, the gun that the man held had found its way into Julius‘ hand. The barrel was now pointed at his temple instead.
“What… What are you planning to do?” The man’s voice trembled..
“Did you ever consider the consequences when you shot me?” Julius asked, his face calm. His slender fingers were slowly pulling the trigger.
Crack!
The gun cocked, triggering a collective gasp.
The fear on the man’s face intensified. “You… You wouldn’t dare! That would be… murder. You’ll go to jail!”
Well, you could wait to see if I end up in prison. However, it’s a shame that you won’t be able to witness it,” Julius replied in a condescending tone.
“Drop the gun!” The woman’s voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, a gun was pressed against Julius

nape.
In that moment, a flicker of emotion seemed to ripple through Julius‘ deathly gaze.
The turn of events was unexpected. Even the security guards of the Whitethorn family failed to notice someone approaching Julius.
Laura was taken aback, her mouth agape as she stared at the scene unfolding before her.
“Good heavens, when did Quinn get there? She even dares to point a gun at the back of Julius‘ head. Does she have a death wish?

Trent and his companions were all equally shocked..
JA hint of mockery flashed in Sidonie’s eyes. Quinn is indeed more foolish than I imagined. Does she really think that
acting this way would elevate her image? Offending Julius would only serve to make Trent despise her even more.
“Do you know this man?” Julius asked in a nonchalant manner, his cool voice echoing throughout the
restaurant.
“No,” replied Quinn.
“Then why are you siding with an armed criminal?
“He committed a crime, and naturally, he’ll face the law. As for you, you’re now safe, and he no longer has the ability to hurt you. Therefore, it’s not your place to decide whether he lives or dies!” Quinn answered with an impassive expression.
“But aren’t you doing the same with my life now by pointing the gun at me?” Julius retorted.
Quinn pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
The gun Julius was holding was pressed even closer to the man’s temple. The latter was already trembling with fear.
“Don’t move!” Quinn shouted at Julius.
“I’ve always disliked those who stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. I thought you were a smart woman, Ms. Bridger, but it now seems that isn’t the case.”
As his words fell, a sense of danger overwhelmed Quinn.
She saw Julius suddenly turn toward her, followed by a wave of murderous intent.
Instinctively, Quinn assumed a defensive stance, Suddenly, a group of police officers burst in, each of them brandishing a gun.
“Nobody move!” the police shouted.
Julius‘ actions came to a halt, and Julius let out a sigh of relief.
“What’s going on? Who called the police just now?” the officer inquired.
“I did!” Quinn responded loudly.

The officer stepped forward and, upon spotting Julius, recognized him. “Mr. Whitethorn, I hope you’re not hurt.”
“I’m fine. This man wanted to kill me. This is the gun he used for the crime,” Julius said, handing over the weapon to the officer.
The police took it, then turned their gaze toward Quinn and the gun in her hand. “What’s the story with the gun you’re holding? If it belongs to you, it would be a serious crime!”
“This one? It’s just a toy gun. I bought it while shopping at the mall today. Surely, you’re not going to confiscate a toy gun, are you?” Quinn readily showed off the realistic–looking toy gun in her hand.
Julius, who was wiping his hands with a handkerchief handed over by his subordinate, was taken aback upon hearing the remark. He looked toward Quinn with a hint of surprise.
A toy gun? I was deceived by a mere toy gun?
Julius‘ lips suddenly curled into a half–smile. “Ms. Bridger, I take back what I just said. You’re far more interesting than I initially thought.”
In an instant, Quinn felt a chill down her spine.
This is an incredibly dangerous man. Her instinct warned her that it was best to keep her distance from him.
Due to the incident, Quinn and the others all went to the police station to give their statements.
After she left the interrogation room, she saw Trent and his companions, together with Sidonie, in the police station’s main lobby.
Upon seeing Quinn emerge, Trent stepped forward to reprimand her, “How could you behave so recklessly, pointing a toy gun at Julius‘ head? Don’t forget, we’re husband and wife. If you offend Julius, you’ll drag Grafton Technologies down with you!”
“Husband and wife?” Quinn scoffed, “If you truly considered me as your wife, then when the gunshot sounded, you wouldn’t have pushed me away to protect Sidonie!”
Trent momentarily froze, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face.
From the side, Yorick mocked Quinn, “Sidonie is weak; of course she needs protection! Are you expecting to be protected too? Don’t flatter yourself!”
“Didn’t you always say that Sidonie is strong and independent, someone who isn’t inferior to any man? So why now, all of a sudden, she’s weak and needs protection?” Quinn ‘retorted sarcastically.
Yorick was dumbfounded, his face immediately flushed a deep red.
Sidonie’s eyes flickered slightly. “Quinn, Trent was just protecting me out of kindness. Don’t you think you’re being a little too petty? It’s exactly this kind of behavior that makes people say women are narrow–minded.”
“What a load of nonsense!” Upon hearing these words, Laura immediately stormed over, voicing her outrage. “A husband pushes his wife away to protect his mistress, and you have the audacity to tell the wife not to be petty? Sidonie, I can’t believe what a shameless mistress you are!”
Laura had witnessed the earlier scene in the restaurant and was absolutely livid back then.
When she raised her voice, it caught the attention of many in the police station who were there to give statements about the incident. Suddenly, all eyes were on her.

In response, Trent’s face immediately turned sour.
Sidonie indignantly retorted, “Don’t call me a mistress!”
“What are you if not a mistress? Trent is Quinn’s husband. When the gunshot rang out, he pushed her aside to protect you. Was it because he was too kind, too noble, or was it because you did him a great favor? Did you save his entire family before?”
Laura’s barrage of words was unstoppable, firing off like a machine gun.
Suddenly, everyone in the police station turned their gaze toward Sidonie.
