Quinn found it utterly ridiculous. After three years of marriage, all she had sacrificed for Trent and his family seemed completely unappreciated.
She mocked herself for once, thinking of them as family and pouring her heart and soul into caring for them.
“Alright, you can do whatever you want with this woman. The more miserable you make her, the better!” Jacinda ordered the two burly men.
Two men approached Quinn, their faces breaking into lewd smirks.
Quinn glared at Penelope and Jacinda. “Have you ever considered Trent’s feelings? No matter what, I am his wife! He would never allow this!”
As she spoke, her right hand, hidden beneath her gown, was firmly clutching her phone.
Her fingers danced across the screen, which was faced downward.
Even without looking at the screen, she could type accurately, a skill she had honed from her time in the special forces.
Trent was right there in the hotel at the time. If only he had answered that call, he could have rushed over and prevented everything that was about to unfold.
“Haha, my brother already has Sidonie, why would he care about you? Even if he did find out, he wouldn’t mind!” Jacinda mocked.
Quinn pursed her lips, having already dialed the number. She had set her phone’s volume so low that only she could hear it.
Trent looked at the cellphone in his hand; the incoming call displayed Quinn’s name.
Just as he was about to answer the call, Sidonie spoke up from beside him. “It’s Quinn calling, isn’t it? If she’s upset because I’m the one accompanying you to the banquet today, I might as well leave and let her be by your side instead.”
“Don’t bother about her,” Trent said, nonchalantly ending the call.
After all, when Quinn called, it was only ever to complain or fuss over trivial matters. He had more pressing issues to attend to. Once the banquet was over, he would have a proper chat with her.
Just then, a commotion arose at the entrance of the banquet. Sidonie’s voice echoed out next. “Mr. Whitethorn is here today as well. Why don’t we go and greet him?”
Trent looked up, only to see the distinguished Julius, surrounded by a crowd, entering the hotel.
His strikingly handsome features, coupled with the icy demeanor he exuded, gave him an air of superiority. Anyone who made eye contact with him would feel as if he was looking down on them.
Such a person was truly exceptional.
How could I possibly think that someone like that would be attracted to Quinn?
Trent was amused by his past thoughts.
Julius must be acting out of kindness when he took Quinn back to the mansion. After all, both of them are from two different worlds! Inside Room 1205, a sudden heaviness settled in Quinn’s heart the moment Trent hung up.
It’s cold… It feels so cold.
She had given him many opportunities to prove himself, but with each chance she gave, it only resulted in more disappointment.
Quinn looked up at Jacinda and Penelope. “We’ve been family for three years. If you stop here, I’m willing to let it slide

“Haha, you still think you can do something to us? Even if I agreed, these two gentlemen wouldn’t!” Jacinda laughed maliciously. “It’s precisely because we used to be family that I specifically chose these two burly men for you.”
Quinn’s gaze lowered subtly. Her fingers continued to fiddle with the phone concealed by her skirt, unnoticed by everyone. In a corner of the room, a minuscule camera was capturing everything that unfolded before it.
This miniature camera was something that Quinn had hastily prepared after receiving a call from Penelope.
As she stepped into the room and was struck by the drugged mist. She immediately held her breath, subtly placing the
camera in a corner.
Little did she expect such a distasteful situation to occur.
At that moment, she had already hacked into the hotel’s network system using her cellphone.
Since Trent was at the hotel banquet, it was time for him to see the true colors of his mother and sister.
Quinn’s fingers were swiftly tapping away on her phone screen, while within the banquet hall of the hotel, Trent and Sidonie Japproached Julius.
“Hello, Mr. Whitethorn. I’m Trent Grafton of Grafton Technologies. We didn’t get a chance to chat properly at the equestrian club last time, so this time-”
Before Trent could finish his sentence, someone suddenly cried out, “What’s going on with the screen. Is there a problem?”
Following that, a voice that Trent was all too familiar with rang out. “Hurry up, I want her ruined. Make sure she gets nothing in the divorce!”
Trent’s body suddenly stiffened. That’s my mother’s voice!
Trent turned around, his gaze falling on the large screen at the front of the banquet hall. Initially, the screen only displayed the name of the banquet and a welcoming message. But now, the image on the screen had dramatically changed. It was showing his mother, his sister, Quinn, and two unfamiliar men.
Quinn stumbled back onto the edge of the bed, and the two unfamiliar men were closing in on her with malicious intent.
