Maurice wrapped his arms around Araminta's waist and used his hand to pleasure her while saying, "Why would you say that? You're the only one I truly love. It's just that I'm getting older and my body isn't what it used to be. I can still bring you pleasure this way, right?"Araminta, who was being pleasured with his hand, could no longer think of anything else.After the moment of pleasure, Araminta finally recalled the business at hand. "Oh, right, Quinn took Luna to the Kane Group today. Have you made the necessary arrangements?" After wiping his hands with a wet wipe, Maurice said, "Everything has been taken care of. I've made sure they won't be able to meet with Mr. Kane today."In Jipsfort, things were a lot more complicated than Quinn thought they would be."Alright then. I'll get back to what I was doing."As soon as Araminta left, Kara entered the office. Her eyes were fixed angrily on Maurice. She had overheard everything that had happened in the office. Upon notici
Upon hearing the commotion, Quinn got up and approached them. She asked, "Are you really sure Mr. Kane doesn't have time for us?"Kendall also knew that she was in the presence of the notorious lunatic heiress of the Jowell family. Although she couldn't help but shudder under her indifferent gaze, George Malone, the general manager, had instructed her to stop Quinn from meeting Stanley.Therefore, no matter how scared she was, she had to tough it out."Mr. Kane truly doesn't have any time for you, Ms. Jowell. You should probably head back first. Please don't make things difficult for me.""Are you actually implying that I'm the one making things difficult for you?"If Quinn still didn't get what was happening at that point, then she probably had been living under the rock for the past 20 years."I'm merely doing my job, Ms. Jowell. Mr. Kane really isn't available today.""Is that so? I guess I'll have to take a look for myself then," Quinn said as she shoved Kendall out of the
As soon as Four Seasons Incorporated was mentioned, Stanley couldn't help but furrow his brow.Despite being a well-respected company in Jipsfort, Four Seasons Incorporated's previously submitted project proposal fell short of Stanley's expectations. He didn't like their project proposal at all.He was surprised to find out that they hadn't given up yet. They even showed up at his office."Mr. Stanley, I'm Quinn Jowell from Four Seasons Incorporated. Give us a chance, and I'm certain that my team can deliver a project that exceeds your expectations," Quinn said. She spoke with a composed assurance that made her appear very convincing."I'll be honest with you, Ms. Jowell. Your company had previously submitted a project proposal, and it fell short of my expectations," Stanley stated bluntly.Given that it was Kane Group's inaugural project in Jipsfort, they were committed to ensuring its success."I'm aware of how important this project is to Kane Group. I'm not here to insist on
Upon seeing Samuel bring in so many cups of coffee, Stanley couldn't help but raise his brow, wondering what he was up to.Samuel brought all the coffee to Quinn and said, "I wasn't certain about your coffee preference, so I made a variety for you to try, Ms. Jowell."His father had a great selection of coffee. If she enjoyed it, he could even give her a few.Quinn was completely taken aback. She didn't see that coming from Samuel."Go take a seat on the side. I still have a couple of questions for Ms. Jowell."Stanley couldn't take it anymore. It was plain as day that Samuel was interested in Quinn.Despite the rumors circulating about Quinn in Jipsfort, Stanley found himself quite impressed with Quinn after meeting her.He concluded that his son was simply no match for such a talented young lady!Even though Samuel was somewhat disgruntled, he had no choice but to sit quietly aside and allow her to continue the discussion undisturbed. Stanley was a seasoned pro from Dudore
With that in mind, Samuel said, "I'll report to work at the company this afternoon, Dad. However, I have a request—I want to lead this project."If he were in charge of this project, wouldn't that give him more opportunities to get closer to her?…Quinn and her team headed back to Four Seasons Incorporated, with Luna behind the wheel.In the distance, Quinn spotted Xavier's Cullinan. She hadn't looked at her phone during lunch with Stanley, and she had noticed that he had sent her multiple messages that she hadn't gotten around to answering. It was already 2:00 pm—so how long had he been waiting here?"Please pull over just ahead, Ms. Lewitt."After Luna pulled over to the side of the road, Quinn hopped out and said, "You guys head to the company first. I'll be there in a minute."With that, Quinn went over to Xavier's car and got into the passenger seat."How long have you been waiting?""I've been waiting for two hours, 13 minutes, and 48 seconds," Xavier complained.Where
"What happened?"Quinn's expression turned icy. How dare Araminta mess with her people?Luna, who was clearly distressed, quickly recounted everything she had overheard.How were they supposed to complete the project without their team? That old hag Araminta really had some nerve."Call the four of them back right now." Araminta had no right to fire them.Seeing that Quinn hadn't gone up, Xavier knew something was wrong. He got out of the car. "What's going on?""Nothing," Quinn replied, though her entire demeanor radiated anger. The kind of anger that was downright terrifying.Xavier took her hand and tried to soothe her. "Don't be mad. No matter what happened, we can fix it."Quinn nodded. "I know. You should go back. I can handle this.""Are you sure you don't need my help?" In fact, this project could be handled with just one word from him. She didn't need to go through all this trouble."I'm sure." Quinn declined.Xavier sighed. He felt helpless. "Alright, then. But if
"Ms. Jowell!" Luna panicked as the situation escalated.If this continued, Quinn might end up in trouble. After all, she was alone in this confrontation.Sure enough, Araminta's secretary had already called for security. "What are you all standing around for? Get Ms. Jowell off her! She's gone mad!"Mad? Maybe so. Who else but a madwoman would choke someone in front of so many witnesses?Everyone knew Lisa was notorious for her insanity. Was it really surprising that her daughter might carry that same madness in her genes?The security guards moved forward, but Quinn blocked them with one hand."If any of you dare to touch me, don't blame me for what happens next."Araminta's face had turned a sickly shade of purple. She could no longer bear the pressure and had no choice but to apologize."Fine, I'm sorry! I was wrong! Is that enough?"Quinn wanted an apology, so there it was."Don't apologize to me. Apologize to them."Araminta's expression twisted with rage.Where was Ma
Xavier held Quinn's hand.Just as the Cullinan came to a stop, Ian rushed over to them. "Xav, Ms. Quinn, you guys got here just in time. The race is about to start."Tonight marked the first round of the elimination races, and Ian was one of the participants.Xavier let go of Quinn's hand, stepped out of the car, and opened the door for her."Ms. Quinn, you two have fun. I've got to go get ready." Ian, who was dressed in a sleek racing suit, radiated youthful energy."Be careful," Xavier advised.Racing was an exhilarating yet dangerous sport, where every competition held the potential for accidents or even fatalities."Don't worry. I'm pretty good at this." Ian brimmed with confidence."Sam, isn't that your dream girl?" Samuel's friend immediately saw Quinn.Dressed in all-black racing gear, Samuel turned around. Sure enough, he spotted Quinn. After setting his helmet aside, he made his way toward her."Ms. Jowell, I didn't expect to see you at the race."Xavier frowned at
