hapter 154 This Is Serious 

Many of the Bridger family members, who held a deep respect for the fifth branch of the family, showed clear disapproval toward Trent. 

Moldred didn’t hold back and said directly, “Mr. Grafton, I think we need to rethink whether we should work with Grafton Technologies. The Bridger family needs to take this matter more seriously.” 

In other words, they were basically turning him down. 

Trent’s face was ashen. 

Meanwhile, Sidonie was nervously waiting outside when the conference room door suddenly opened. 

Marley came out and immediately complained, “If Quinn hadn’t interfered, Uncle Moldred and the others wouldn’t have said no.” 

“What?” Sidonie was shocked. 

Have all my effort gone to waste just because of Quinn? 

At that moment, she saw Quinn emerge from the conference room and immediately rushed over to her. “Quinn, just because Trent divorced you, you want to ruin him? You’re so cruel. How could the daughter of fallen heroes act like this?” 

Quinn’s expression darkened, and without hesitation, she slapped Sidonie hard across the face. 

“You…” Sidonie was surprised. She hadn’t expected Quinn to actually hit her. 

“Sidonie, it’s not your place to judge my parents. Say another word and I’ll make you regret it!” 

“Oh really? I’d like to see what you’ll do. I was just about to bring up your parents again. They-” 

Before Sidonie could finish her sentence, Quinn kicked her, sending her flying across the room. 

Sidonie’s body slammed hard against the wall, causing the phone in her pocket to tumble out. 

“Sidonie, do you want a repeat of what happened at the airport when I almost broke your ribs?” Quinn’s face was icy cold as she stepped forward. 

A chill ran up Sidonie’s spine. 

Back then, Quinn had stepped on her so hard it had nearly broken her ribs. It was terrifying. 

Just then, Trent, who had just emerged from the conference room, rushed over. “Quinn, what are you trying to do to Sidonie!” 

“What am I trying to do?” Quinn’s voice was cold. “If she insults my parents again, I’ll break her bones for real next time.” 

Trent was stunned by the commanding aura radiating from Quinn. 

At that moment, Sidonie’s phone, now lying nearby, lit up with a message. 

The screen glowed within reach. As Sidonie spotted the alert and read the message, her expression changed suddenly. She quickly reached out and grabbed the phone tightly.

“Trent, let’s just go back, okay?” Sidonie said nervously. 

Trent pressed his lips together, helped her up gently, and walked her out. 

In the elevator, he asked, “You don’t look well. Quinn went too far. Even if you talked about her parents, that doesn’t mean she should hit you. I’ll take you to the hospital later.”. 

Sidonie remained silent, gripping her phone tightly in her hand. 

Her thoughts were stuck on the message she had just received: Murderer! 

Meanwhile, Julius gently lifted the hand Quinn had used to slap Sidonie and asked softly, “Does it hurt?” 

The people around were left speechless, as Sidonie should have been the one in pain. 

Marley watched the whole thing unfold and clenched her teeth in frustration. 

That evening, Julius was working in his study while Quinn sat on the couch nearby, talking to Laura over the phone. 

“Darling, this is serious!” Laura said urgently. “You have to log into the game right now and help me, or I won’t be able to finish my mission!” 

“But I’m still on duty to protect Julius,” Quinn replied. 

“What’s wrong?” Julius had come over without her noticing. 

“Laura wants me to help her out in a game, but now’s not really a good time.” 

“There’s no problem at all. I’d love to have you by my side all the time, but you’re not the only bodyguard in the house. Someone else can fill in while you’re gaming. But can you bring another player with you?” 

“What do you mean?” Quinn paused for a moment. 

Ten minutes later, Laura was staring at a new character standing next to Quinn’s in the game. 

The new avatar was fully geared up and clearly brand new. 

“Who’s that?” Laura asked curiously. 

“Julius Whitethorn,” Quinn replied. 

Laura didn’t expect her friend to introduce Julius to her in the game. She asked, “Why did you bring him along?”
