Initially, she merely thought that adding a heroic deed of saving someone to her life story wouldn’t be a bad idea.
After all, Trent was nothing more than a penniless guy back then, and she didn’t mind it.
However, things had changed.
At that moment, Trent was a person she couldn’t let go of.
She was determined to find a way to trick and convince Trent that she was indeed his savior.
Quinn cradled the cremation urn as she boarded the plane. Because of the cremation urn, she had made sure to book a seat in business class.
However, when she entered the business class cabin, she noticed it was almost empty, except for the staff and one other person, Julius.
For a moment, she was taken aback. She didn’t expect to be on the same flight as Julius.
“I told you we’d see each other again soon,” he said.
Quinn didn’t know what to say in response. Well, this is rather soon.
She then sat down, cradling the cremation urn. Her seat was right next to Julius!
In the entire business class cabin, aside from the two of them, there were no other passengers.
After the plane had taken off, Julius‘ voice suddenly sounded in her ear. “Ms. Bridger, you’ve certainly surprised me today.”
She paused momentarily, then quickly grasped what he was referring to. “You saw what happened in the departure lounge, didn’t you?”
“I did,” he replied casually. He saw how she was surrounded by a dozen security guards, recklessly fighting to protect the cremation urn she was clutching. He noticed that even when she was hit with an electric baton, she refused to let go of the cremation urn.
Just as he was about to step in and help her, she suddenly clutched the cremation urn and rushed toward Sidonie, trampling her underfoot. She even managed to send Trent flying with a swift kick.
At that moment, her face was filled with anger, her gaze sharp and piercing. It contrasted against her handsome features, creating a dazzling image that made it almost impossible for him to look away.
However, Julius was puzzled. Why, though?
Even if he had a bit of admiration for Quinn, it was supposed to be merely admiration.
Just as he was intrigued by Quinn and wanted her to be his bodyguard, he believed that if she stayed by his side for a while, his interest in her would naturally fade.
Beyond that, there would be nothing else. Even if she were to collapse in front of him and die, he wouldn’t

feel a thing.
For him, he never cared about life, whether it was his own or others‘.

That day, however, his emotions seemed to ebb and flow with hers. Seeing the electric baton hit her body, watching her grit her teeth, and witnessing her stumble, he found himself consumed by an anger so intense that it surprised even him.
In the end, seeing her astonishing strength, he seemed entranced as he stared at her.
“Did you risk your life to protect the ashes because they belong to our fallen heroes?” Julius asked.
Quinn lowered her gaze, looking at the cremation urn placed on the table nearby. “Apart from being fallen heroes, they were also my parents. Parents protect their children for half their lives, so shouldn’t children protect their parents‘ ashes?”
Julius pursed his lips slightly, his tone laced with a hint of sarcasm as he said, “Not all parents protect their
children.”
Taken aback, Quinn quickly responded, “Yes. There are parents who aren’t kind to their children. However, my parents were wonderful to me. Thus, no matter how much pain I was in, I’d never let anyone disrespect their ashes!”
“In other words, you always reciprocate when someone treats you well, right?” he abruptly asked.
She looked at him, somewhat bewildered. How did the conversation end up here?
“When others treat me well, it’s only right that I return the favor,” she said, looking up with a serious expression.
“So, what if it were me? If I treated you well, would you protect my ashes with the same intensity after I’m gone, not letting anyone disturb them?” he asked, staring intently at her.
In an instant, Quinn felt as though a wild beast was watching her.
Even though his eyes were clearly cold and silent, they gave her a burning sensation.
Many people tended to avoid the concept of death. Those with wealth and power feared it the most.
Julius was a man of wealth and power, lacking nothing in his life. Yet, he spoke of death with such nonchalance.
“I’m sure many others will safeguard your ashes in the future, Mr. Whitethorn. There won’t be any need. for me to do so.”
“So, are you not planning to return me the favor?” he queried.
The issue is that he hasn’t been particularly nice to me. Quinn inwardly scoffed at the thought. However, considering she still had to act as his bodyguard for three months, she decided it was unnecessary to make their relationship overly tense.
“Mr. Whitethorn, you’re in great health, so I’m sure you’ll live a long, fruitful life. Who knows what the future holds? Maybe I’ll be the one to die first,” she said.

He slightly furrowed his brows, finding her words about dying carlier than him somewhat grating to his
cars.
“If such a day ever comes, I promise to safeguard your ashes, not letting anyone even slightly disturb them!” he said.
Quinn almost choked on her own saliva when she heard those words. She hadn’t planned on having him look after her ashes in the future.
