Chapter 127 Is She Really Your Lifesaver
Trent’s hand trembled slightly, the rings in his palm nearly slipping from his grasp.
Sidonie’s expression shifted. “How can you have the audacity to claim this wedding ring as yours? It was bought with the money Trent earned from his hard work! If you truly have the ability, then buy a ring with your own earned money instead of always demanding what others have worked for!”
With a cold chuckle, Quinn cast a sidelong glance at Trent. “You’re saying this money was earned by Trent? Fine then, you’d better hope he can keep on earning!”
Sidonie lifted her chin proudly. “Without you dragging him down, he can naturally do better!” Not to mention, she was there to help him!
“But I’m surprised at your lack of memory.” Quinn stepped past Trent to confront Sidonie. “After I removed that necklace from your neck last time, you still dare to show off the jewelry Trent gave you during our marriage in front of me. Have you been a thief for so long that you genuinely believe these jewelry are yours?”
Sidonie’s face flushed crimson. “A thief? This was a gift from Trent!”

“Why would he give you a ring worth millions when the one he gave me for our wedding was just some cheap thing?” Quinn asked.
The people around began to whisper among themselves, their glances at Sidonie filled with disdain.
Sidonie’s discomfort grew. “Trent gave me those jewelry because I saved his life! Quinn, I saved Trent’s life, but what about you? What have you ever done for him?”
“Really?” Quinn snorted coldly, abruptly seizing Sidonie’s right hand, the one with the ring.
Sidonie cried out in pain, “Quinn, what are you doing!”
Anxious, Trent moved to rush forward, but Julius stopped him. “I’ll cripple the legs of anyone who dares to step forward,” Julius warned.
His tone was calm, yet it was immensely intimidating.
Nobody dared to move an inch after that. After all, no one was brave enough to gamble on whether Julius would actually cripple their leg!
Furious and annoyed, Trent looked at Julius. “Mr. Whitethorn, this action of yours will only make Quinn even more arrogant as she abuses your authority to bully others!”
Julius gave a faint smirk. “I’ll gladly let her abuse my authority. If she wants to bully others, I can join in too!”
The moment these words were spoken, Trent’s expression changed instantly. The surrounding crowd, including many from the Bridger family, also showed signs of surprise.
After all, Marley had been by Julius‘ side all these years, even going as far as losing an eye for him. Yet, he had never said such words in defense of her before.
But now, Julius had actually said these words for Quinn.
Did this mean that Julius was willing to be Quinn’s backer?

Marley gritted her teeth tightly, glaring at Quinn with a look of resentment..
Damn it, my original plan for the day was to use Trent to embarrass Quinn.

But now, it seems as though the tables have turned, and the one left feeling embarrassed is none other than myself!
At that moment, Quinn took Sidonie by the hand and dragged her toward the sea.
A flash of fear crossed Sidonie’s face. “What… what are you planning? Quinn, don’t do anything rash!”
“What am I planning?” Quinn asked with a chuckle as she stared at Sidonie in amusement. “Didn’t you say you were the one who saved Trent? If you could rescue a man who’d been stabbed eight times from the river, that must mean your swimming skills are pretty good. So, naturally, you shouldn’t have any problems here.”
Sidonie was still trying to comprehend what was happening when she saw Quinn, who had been holding her hand, suddenly grab the emerald ring she wore on her finger.
Almost instantly, Quinn had the emerald ring in her hands. As her fingers fully released their grip, Sidonie staggered backward, and then, just like that, she fell into the sea.
“Help! Somebody help!” Sidonie cried out in panic, flailing her arms around in desperation.
Trent wanted to rush forward, but he was firmly held back by Julius, the latter’s grip on his shoulders unyielding, making it impossible for him to break free.
Marley shouted at Quinn, “Quinn, are you trying to kill her? Even if you’re jealous of Sidonie, you can’t just become a murderer!”
“Kill her?” Quinn scoffed. At that moment, the sea was calm. As for Sidonie struggling in the water – “I thought Ms. Stonehurst was an excellent swimmer. Who would have thought that she would struggle in such calm waters?”
As Quinn spoke, she reached out and hoisted Sidonie upright. Only after Sidonie steadied herself did she realize that the seawater only reached her waist.
Immediately, Sidonie’s face turned beet red.
Quinn turned her head, her gaze meeting Trent’s directly. “Even now, do you still believe that Sidonie is your lifesaver? Was it really her who pulled you from the turbulent river after you were injured?”
