The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 151

"Preston, Chloe is going way too far. You've called her so many times and she hasn't answered a single one. It's incredibly disrespectful! I don't know if she genuinely missed them or if she's ignoring you on purpose!"

"Do you think she already knew Quentin's true identity? No wonder she refused to come with us and insisted on clinging to him..."

The car's interior lights were off, and in the dimness, Preston's pale profile looked remarkably stern.

Seeing his silence, Jenna tentatively continued.

"Sigh, she just cares too much about power and status. Sure, Quentin is the heir to the Shaw family fortune, but at the end of the day, we're her real friends and family. Honestly, I'm really disappointed by what she did tonight..."

Preston remained completely silent. His dark eyes stared out the car window, fixed on something unseen.

Jenna suddenly choked up. "Preston, I'm sorry. Did I cause trouble for you tonight? You really don't have to worry about me so much. I don't mind suffering a little bit of unfairness."

Preston finally turned his gaze toward her. His long, elegant fingers gently brushed a teardrop from her cheek.

"Jenna, this isn't your fault."

Jenna's eyes were red. "But all our plans for tonight are ruined..."

Preston replied calmly, "I'm taking you to meet someone. As long as we see her, tonight won't have been a waste."

"Who?" Jenna looked up in surprise.

"Dr. Liana Sharpe from the International Federation."

She wielded immense power in both political and business circles and was an absolute force of nature. Unfortunately, she was also known for her incredibly eccentric temper.

No matter how desperately wealthy and elite families fought tooth and nail to send their heirs to study under her, she ruthlessly rejected them all. In her entire life, she had only ever taken on one protégé: Caroline Monet.

It was highly likely that because Caroline had retired, Dr. Sharpe had specifically returned to the country to select a new assistant.

On the surface, it was just a search for an assistant, but anyone with a brain knew the unspoken truth: she was looking for a new apprentice.

Whoever managed to get close to her and receive her guidance would essentially be handed a golden ticket to the top.
