“What rotten luck! Why did I have to run into these two again?” Laura complained.
Quinn gave a nonchalant smirk. “Just pretend they don’t exist.”
Yet, by some twist of fate, Trent and Sidonic had also spotted Quinn.
Trent immediately rode his horse over, stopping in front of Quinn. He furrowed his brows and asked, “How did you end up here?”
Quinn scoffed. “And what about you? How come you’re here? So this is your so–called ‘urgent important meeting, huh?”
A hint of discomfort flashed across Trent’s face.
Laura sarcastically remarked, “So, we’re holding impromptu meetings in the equestrian club now, are we? I wonder if next
time it’ll be in bed.”
Trent’s face darkened. “If you continue to speak recklessly, I won’t spare you, even if you’re Quinn’s friend.””
“Fine! If you dare, then sue me! Laura declared, her chin held high.
The expression on Trent’s face grew even darker.
With a swift stride, Quinn stepped forward, positioning herself between her friend and the impending threat. “Trent, if you dare harm my friend in any way, I won’t hesitate to publicly reveal your affair with Sidonie!”
“You dare?” Trent said angrily.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Quinn retorted.
She knew that the previous rumors of his affair with Sidonie had only been suppressed after he had spent a considerable amount of money. Naturally, he wouldn’t want those rumors to resurface now.
Just then, Sidonie rode over on her horse, looking down at Quinn from her elevated position. “Is this the only tactic you know? To cling onto men and use underhanded methods to sabotage other women? Do you honestly believe that Trent will return to you?”
Upon hearing this, Laura felt a surge of anger, itching to lash out. But before she could, Quinn held her back. She turned to Sidonic and said, “You crossed the line with a married man, yet you accuse others of being despicable. Don’t you find that laughable?”
“What’s wrong with love? In three years, you couldn’t make Trent fall for you. Isn’t that a reflection of your inadequacy?” Sidonic responded. “But I suppose a woman like you wouldn’t understand what I’m saying. Just as you’ll never comprehend that it’s the independent, confident woman who gallops freely on her own, who truly captivates a man!”
After Sidonie finished speaking, she suddenly spurred her horse into a wild gallop. Seeing this, the others at the equestrian club broke into applause for her.
Trent was completely mesmerized, his eyes fixed on Sidonie’s striking figure. After a while, he finally turned to Quinn and said, “A woman like Sidonie doesn’t care about the things you obsess over. Quinn, I hope you stop being so narrow–minded, and there’s no need for you to follow me here!”
After he finished speaking, Trent also spurred his horse to catch up with Sidonie.
Quinn was instantly left speechless. Trent was actually under the impression that she came to the equestrian club to tail him.
Laura was so infuriated that her meticulously made–up face alinost contorted. “How could these two be so shameless? Who in the world would want to follow him?”
Don’t mind them,” Quinn said indifferently. “Once the divorce is final, whatever they choose to do won’t concern me «пушоге”
“But I’m just so frustrated!” Laura stated. “So what if Sidonie can ride a horse or fly a plane? You were in the special forces

back then. Is there anything you can’t do? Moreover, you flew a fighter jet. What does she amount to in front of you? She even has the audacity to spout such nonsense in your presence!”
A glint of nostalgia flashed in Quinn’s eyes, reminiscing about the days spent in the special forces, the day–to–day camaraderie with her teammates, and the exhilarating sensation of piloting a fighter jet, soaring freely across the sky.
“Let’s get going. Today, we’re here to take care of business,” said Quinn.
“Right! We must hurry to meet Julius,” Laura urged. She knew if they missed this opportunity, there was no telling when the next one would come.
The equestrian club was vast, and after a fifteen–minute walk, they finally caught sight of Julius.
At that moment, Julius was surrounded by a few individuals. Among them was Henry Wagner, who had previously collaborated with Laura’s company.
This time, Laura also found out from Henry that Julius would be coming to the equestrian club.
Just as Quinn and Laura were about to get closer, Trent suddenly strode over from the side. He grabbed Quinn’s arm. “Why are you following me like this? What exactly are you trying to do?”
“I wasn’t following you.” Quinn shook off Trent’s hand.
“You’ve followed me all the way here. Now, you’re saying you’re not stalking me?” Trent retorted. “I came here today for serious business!”
Sidonie had told him that Julius would be at the equestrian club today. Recently, there had been rumors in the investment community that Julius was interested in investing in the drone sector. Coincidentally, Trent’s company’s new project was also related to drones. Thus, he wanted to seize the opportunity to get to know Julius and see if he could secure this investment.
“I came here today for serious business, too,” Quinn stated bluntly.
“What business could you possibly do here?” Trent clearly didn’t believe Quinn’s words.
Sidonie walked over. “Trent, don’t delay meeting Mr. Whitethorn any longer.”
“All right,” Trent responded, cautioning Quinn, “Today is very important to me. You’d better not create any trouble for me!” Sidonie, arm in arm with Trent, passed by Quinn with a face full of disdain. “A capable woman becomes a man’s support, while an incapable woman only becomes ugly out of jealousy!”
After speaking, she turned her gaze to Trent. “Trent, I’ll have my uncle introduce you to Mr. Whitethorn later.” Sidonie was the heiress of Stonehurst Group. Her uncle, Hugh Stonehurst, had some connections with the Whitethorn family and was currently accompanying Julius.
Trent followed after Sidonie as they headed toward Julius.
Hugh proceeded with the introductions. “Mr. Whitethorn, this is my niece, Sidonie Stonehurst, the first female pilot of Nimbus Air. And this gentleman next to her, is Trent Grafton, the head of Grafton Technologies.”
“Hello, Mr. Whitethorn. We’ve met before at the restaurant. Professor Griffin was there, too,” Sidonie stated, hoping to establish a closer connection.

Julius responded nonchalantly, “I don’t remember.”
Sidonie hit a snag, a flash of embarrassment crossing her face.
Trent was quick to mediate. “Mr. Whitethorn is a busy man, so it’s normal if he doesn’t remember. But I was truly impressed that day at the restaurant. Despite facing a gunman, Mr. Whitethorn showed no fear and even fought back decisively.”
Trent was deliberately flattering Julius, yet the latter seemed too uninterested to engage further, simply responding in a polite, noncommittal manner.
Quinn and Laura then went over. When Trent saw Quinn actually approaching, his brows furrowed immediately.

“Mr. Whitethorn, nice to meet you. I’m Laura from Azure Technologies. Our company primarily deals with drones, and we’ve made quite a name for ourselves in the industry. If you’re interested, Mr. Whitethorn, we’d be more than happy to welcome you anytime,” Laura said, cutting straight to the chase.
After all, when it came to someone like Julius, with his deep and complex thoughts, it was better to speak plainly rather than beating around the bush..
Julius‘ gaze, however, fell upon Quinn standing next to Laura. “Ms. Bridger, we meet again.”
Quinn tugged at the corners of her mouth and responded, “Yes. We meet again.”
“Ms. Bridger, what brings you here today?” Julius asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I’m an employee at Azure Technologies. I came here with our CEO, Ms. Wentworth,” Quinn replied.
Upon hearing these words, Laura felt a wave of joy wash over her. Her best friend saying such things was a clear indication that she had decided to join her company.
“Indeed! Quinn is an expert in drones and will be a key pillar in our company in the future,” Laura chimed in.
Upon hearing this, Trent frowned immediately. “Quinn, stop messing around. Can’t you see where we are?”
As he spoke, he turned to Julius and said, “Mr. Whitethorn, I apologize. Quinn was previously an employee at my company. She only resigned a few days ago. She is not an expert in drones. In my company, she was just an ordinary employee.”
