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
Xavier planned to arrange for the red race car to be delivered to Quinn. He even planned to customize it personally for her.Quinn wouldn't know that Xavier had everything planned in his mind.Honestly, she wasn't that impoverished.She owned a race car that she had personally modified, but with so many things on her plate since her return, she hadn't had the time to bring it back.As the race began, Xavier led Quinn to the grandstands.Racing was a sport for the affluent, given the significant costs of maintenance and inspections. In the stands, many of Jipsfort's elite were present, and they naturally recognized Quinn.A few of them took a video of Quinn and Xavier in the stands and shared it in their Jipsfort elite group chat."Hey guys, guess who I ran into on Protrie Highway?"The picture of the couple was attached."Damn, it's Quinn and her man!""This photo is too good! Did you use a beauty filter?"Was she really that beautiful in real life?"No filter. It's the ori
Ian glanced at the car that had deliberately cut him off. It was the same racer who had lost to him previously and had shown clear dissatisfaction.Now, that racer was intentionally blocking him.Ian's skills were impressive. He and his opponent subtly challenged each other on the track.In a sharp turn, the opponent deliberately collided with Ian's car. Ian couldn't avoid it in time, and his car spun out of control, flipping over completely."Oh no! What's happening? How could there be such an accident?""I had high hopes for him. How did he end up flipping? Racing is really too dangerous. I hope he's not seriously hurt."Seeing Ian's car flip over, Xavier immediately set aside his other concerns. He released Quinn's hand and said, "Stay here. I'm going to check on him."Ian came with him. He couldn't afford to let Ian get into any trouble.Knowing how much Xavier cared for Ian, Quinn grabbed his hand. "I'm coming with you. Don't worry. Race cars have safety airbags. He'll be
When a car flipped, the greatest fear was that it might catch fire. This would lead to an explosion."Xav, take Ms. Quinn and leave! I'll wait for the rescue team here. I'll be fine. Go now! The car might explode any moment!"Ian knew something was wrong with his car. Someone must have tampered with it. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened."Shut up!" Xavier quickened his efforts to free Ian. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't loosen the seatbelt.He turned to Quinn. "Quinny, you should go. I'll handle this." He didn't want to put her in danger."No," Quinn replied firmly. She couldn't possibly leave in such a dire situation."Quinn, go." Xavier didn't want her to stay here. "Please, listen to me."Ian was just like his brother. He couldn't leave him behind."Fine, I'll go." Quinn stood up and walked away.Xavier finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her leave."Xav, you need to leave too. The car's going to blow."Yet Xavier had no intention of abandon
The massive explosion sent a wave of excitement coursing through Kimberly.If Quinn burned to death in that blast, everything would return to the way it used to be.Ever since Quinn's return, Kimberly's life had been a mess. But if Quinn were dead, no one would stand in the way of her future.Kimberly's heart raced with anticipation. She rushed to find Araminta and shared the news."Mom, look!""What is it?" Araminta was in a foul mood after returning from work. Something had been bothering her all day.The secretary she had arranged for Maurice had suddenly decided to resign, despite the generous benefits. It made no sense. Had something happened that she wasn't aware of?"The car exploded! Quinn was inside. This time, she's done for."With such a massive explosion, Quinn was either dead or horribly disfigured. Either outcome was thrilling enough to make Kimberly's heart soar."Really? Quinn was really in that car?"Quinn had just secured the qualification for Kane Group's b
