Chapter 236 Morning Banter

“Yup. I did,” Quinn replied without hesitation.

Laura muttered, “What finally changed your mind? I thought you were going to hold out till the end of time.”

Quinn merely answered with an exaggerated roll of her eyes.

Laura said. “By the way, we never finished yesterday’s performance. Want to go back and catch the rest some other day?”

Quinn replied, “Find someone else to keep you company. If I go along, the show will probably get shut down halfway all over again.”

Laura froze, then seemed to put two and two together. “Wait–you’re telling me Julius was the one who stopped it yesterday?”

“Yeah,” Quinn said.

Laura clicked her tongue. “Figures. When Mr. Whitethorn makes a move, it’s always a grand gesture. Fine, I’ll rope in somebody else.”

“Oh, right–how did things go with Wesley last night?” Quinn asked, concerned.

Laura shrugged. “What could happen? We spelled everything out, said our goodbyes, and that’s the end of it.”

“You and he-”

“It’s nothing, Quinn.” Laura patted her friend’s shoulder. “We were over ages ago. If I can bring it up, I can let it go. I’m fine.”

“Good,” Quinn said.

“His firm was never worth much to begin with,” Quinn answered mildly.

“Exactly. A tech company lives and dies by its talent pool, and he still hasn’t figured out that brains–not bluster–got him to an IPO in the first place.” Scorn colored Laura’s tone. “Someone like him even wanted to exploit your patent. As if he could do anything with it!”

Quinn smiled. “I’d never actually let him use my patent.”

“Divorcing you was the biggest mistake he could make. Give it a little time, and Trent will have nothing left,” Laura declared, already picturing his downfall.

“And divorcing him was the best thing that happened to me,” Quinn said.

Men like Trent always want too much. In the end, they got nothing at all.

She was deeply grateful she had finally seen him clearly and then walked away for good.

Inside the CEO’s office at Grafton Technologies, Trent hurled his phone to the floor with a vicious snap.

How could this be happening? I swallowed my pride and begged them, yet they still insist on withdrawing their funds!
