“Haha! She wouldn’t stand a chance! If only Sidonie hadn’t been recovering from her horse riding accident last time, Quinn would have truly understood the gap between them today!”
A mocking voice, filled with malice, echoed in Quinn’s ears.
Laura rushed forward, her voice laced with anger. “Trent, are you even a man? How could you let your friends insult your wife like this?”
Trent’s expression stiffened.
Quinn stopped Laura, her expression icy as she stared at Trent and his buddies. “The gap between individuals isn’t shown by whether or not they can fly a plane,” she said, her tone biting. “Who do you think you are? Just because I married Trent, you believe you have the right to insult and belittle me?”
The group fell silent.
Without waiting for any reactions, Quinn immediately led Laura away.
It took a while for Yorick to respond, “How dare that woman speak like that? Trent, you must show her what’s what. Who does she think she is?”
“Enough!” Trent’s face darkened as he reprimanded, “Quinn is my wife. Regardless of anything, you have no right to look down on her!”
Especially earlier, the display of Quinn’s flying skills in front of him had left his face with a burning sensation.
“What’s gotten into you? aren’t you the one who despise Quinn the most?” Yorick said irritably, “Wasn’t it you who said that Quinn has no real talents? If it weren’t for Sidonie leaving you, causing you to be momentarily disheartened, you wouldn’t have married her in the first place!”
Trent was left speechless. Indeed, these were the words he had vented out to his buddies after getting drunk.
However, was Quinn really without any skills?
At the very least, the projects that Quinn had once been in charge of at the company never gave him any cause for concern. Moreover, Quinn had the ability to tame unruly stallions and could even pilot an aircraft, performing complex maneuvers in the sky.
These series of events weighed heavily on his heart, as if something was pressing down on it, leaving him somewhat breathless.
Even though she had been his wife for three years, he started to feel like she was a stranger to him.
“All right. Let’s not let Quinn ruin our brotherhood,” someone advised. “Trent, you should head to the exhibition hall up front. Sidonie has been looking for you for quite a while now.”
Trent nodded, heading toward the exhibition hall.
At that moment, his mind was in utter chaos, filled with nothing but the image of Quinn piloting the plane earlier.
As he passed by Nimbus Air’s exhibit, Sidonie stepped forward to meet him. “What’s wrong? You don’t look too well.”
“It’s nothing. Perhaps I ve just been a bit busier with company matters recently,” Trent said.
“Take a seat and rest for a while,” Sidonie suggested.
Trent was finally able to catch his breath after taking a seat and sipping some water. It seemed as though he was finally regaining his composure.
In the heart of Nimbus Air’s exhibition area, there was an electronic screen. This screen displayed the scene unfolding on the
vacant lot behind the exhibition zone.

Chapter 18 How Insulting
“There’s going to be an aerial performance soon. It’s a shame that my injury hasn’t fully healed; otherwise, I would have participated in this performance,” said Sidonic.
Trent was hesitant for a moment. “Is the aerial performance really that difficult?”
“Of course it’s difficult,” Sidonie said with a hint of pride in her voice. “To perform well, it’s not something any ordinary pilot
could achieve.”
Under normal circumstances, Trent would certainly have praised Sidonie. However, when he recalled the aerial stunts performed by Quinn just now, the words of praise for Sidonie seemed to be stuck in his throat.
In no time, the aerial performance began.
Trent saw the plane that Quinn had once piloted, astonishingly part of the performance lineup.
Since the camera was positioned quite a distance from the airplane, it was impossible to make out anyone inside the plane. However, Trent had this inexplicable intuition. The person on the plane at this moment must be Quinn!
Sidonic watched the aerial performance, and she suddenly said, “Oh, right. When Yorick and the others came over previously, they told me about Quinn. She actually dared to say that flying a plane was nothing special. Such arrogance.” Trent frowned slightly, his voice laced with a hint of difficulty. “What if she wasn’t being arrogant?”
Sidonie furrowed her brows, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “For someone who’s never flown a plane to speak like this… If that’s not arrogance, what is it, Trent? Are you really going to defend her?”
“I’m not trying to defend her, but what if she could fly a plane?” Trent responded.
The hint of mockery on Sidonie’s face deepened. “Ha! If this isn’t you defending her, then what is it?” She scoffed. “She can fly a plane? You’re not just insulting me with this. You’re also insulting all the professional pilots out there!”
Trent was choked up, finding it hard to believe if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.
“I was just…”
“Enough, stop talking!” Sidonie wore a stern expression, not wanting to hear the person in front of her continue to speak up in Quinns defense.
Trent pursed his lips, choosing not to continue on this topic any further.
On the screen, the Zivko Edge 540 plane piloted by Quinn continuously performed high–difficulty aerial stunts, eliciting frequent gasps of astonishment from the live commentator.
