Chapter 107 Have Mercy On Her 

“Julius, Quinn was once married. Mr. Grafton was her ex–husband,” Marley stated, under the impression that Julius was unaware of Quinn’s divorced status. 

“So what?” Julius said nonchalantly, “I even attended their divorce press conference.” 

Marley was taken aback. Julius is aware of that all along? 

She’s a divorcee. Why did she manage to capture Julius‘ attention? 

Immediately, a surge of jealousy welled up within her. 

Suddenly, she flashed a smirk. Behind her glasses, a glint of malice sparkled in her eyes. “I bet you didn’t know this, but she’s been trying to get back with her ex–husband all along. She even went as far as pretending to be his savior, just to make him feel guilty!” 

Julius casually remarked, “Is that so?” 

“This is absolutely true!” Marley hastily said, “Thankfully, Mr. Grafton knew all along that Sidonie was his real lifesaver, which foiled Quinn’s plans!” 

Julius turned his head, his dark eyes stared at Quinn. “Do you want to remarry?” 

“I never considered remarrying after I chose to divorce,” Quinn stated emphatically. 

Marley said, “She’s lying. She just can’t bear to let go of the status of being the CEO’s wife of a listed company! After all, Mr. Grafton is young and successful, a self–made man and a rising star in the tech industry. It’s only natural for Quinn to be reluctant to let go, considering the wealth that she, being who she is, could never earn in her lifetime!” 

Between the lines, they were all insinuating that Quinn was money–hungry. 

Upon hearing Marley’s words, the surrounding party guests looked at Quinn with newfound understanding. 

After all, women like her weren’t exactly rare. 

Marley was feeling rather smug inside. After all, she knew well enough that Julius had never shown any fondness for money–mind 

ed women. 

I guess by now, any hint of affection Julius once had for Quinn must have completely evaporated. 

Yet, in the next moment, Marley was left stunned by what Julius replied. 

“If all she wanted was wealth, she could have come to me. Why bother with Trent? My wealth far surpasses his, right?” 

It wasn’t just Marley who was dumbstruck, but also Sidonie and Trent, as well as the other guests around them. They were all equally taken aback. 

“Julius, what… what do you mean by that?” Marley finally managed to regain her composure, asking anxiously. 

“Literally.” Julius said, “If Quinn really wanted money, wouldn’t choosing me be a better option? What I could offer her far surpasses what Mr. Grafton could, no?”

Marley’s face was filled with surprise. What does he mean by that? 

Choosing him would be better? 

It’s as if the power of choice has been placed into Quinn’s hands. 

How could someone like Julius, who holds such a high position, ever possibly place the decision–making power into someone else’s hands? 

Trent’s expression was utterly grim. At that moment, a surge of humiliation, restlessness, and a kind of unease he couldn’t quite articulate welled up within him. 

Has Quinn moved on with Julius after the divorce? 

Has she truly let go of all her feelings for me? 

“Quinn, we’ve just divorced, and you’re already with someone else?” Trent suddenly blurted out, oblivious to how his tone sounded, just like a husband confronting his unfaithful wife. 

With a snort, Quinn retorted, “Like you said, we’re already divorced. Who I choose to be with is none of your business. Do I need to report my every move to you?” 

“But…” Trent stuttered, taken aback. That’s way too soon! 

Furthermore, the person in question is Julius! 

After their divorce, she didn’t just manage to get by; she even scored someone better. This fact weighed heavily on his heart, like a burden that left him somewhat breathless. 

It was as if proving that her decision to divorce him was the right one. 

“Quinn, Mr. Whitethorn’s kindness toward you is nothing more than fleeting sympathy!” Trent said, turning to Julius. “Mr. Whitethorn, Quinn is an orphan with no significant background, unlike the women who usually surround you. So I implore you, Mr. Whitethorn, to please show her mercy. Stop toying with her emotions. If she starts having feelings for you, it might actually become a nuisance for you in the long run.” 

Trent was clearly implying to those around him that Julius wasn’t actually interested in Quinn. 

At the same time, it was subtly highlighting the disparity in status between Quinn and Julius. 

He was confident that if he gave Julius an out, the latter wouldn’t persist any longer. 

After all, a man like Julius, even if he were interested in Quinn, would probably just be having fun. How could he take her seriously?
