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
Ian was underneath Quinn."Ian," she called out softly, but he was already unconscious.It took a few moments before Xavier finally came to."Quinn, are you okay?" The first thing he did when he regained consciousness was check on her."I'm fine." Quinn felt a wave of relief wash over her as she heard his voice. At least he was conscious.Xavier had severe injuries on his back. Quinn summoned all her strength to push him away. "I'm going to get the rescue team."He had protected her so well that she barely had any injuries."Okay." Xavier was calm despite the searing pain in his back. As long as she and Ian were safe, nothing else mattered.Quinn quickly summoned the rescue team. They arrived and carefully lifted both Ian and Xavier onto stretchers and into an ambulance.Quinn climbed in with them.The doctors immediately began assessing Ian's condition, which was grave.Xavier sat beside Quinn, leaning heavily on her shoulder. His back burned with pain, but he remained sile
"Don't worry. I'm really fine. It's just some surface wounds." Xavier was used to living on the edge, so these injuries seemed minor to him."These aren't just surface wounds. If they're not properly treated, the consequences could be serious."Most people would be in unbearable pain from even a small burn or scald, let alone large area injuries like his.Quinn frowned. With a body like his, any scars would really affect his appearance."Doctor, will he have scars?"The doctor glanced at her with a slightly puzzled expression. Was that really what she was concerned about?"He's a grown man. So what if he has a few scars?" Surviving that explosion was already a miracle."Would you mind if I had scars?"Quinn was quite straightforward.Did she mean that if he got scars, he would lose even the chance to be her fuck buddy?"No. Please treat his wound, doctor." She just found his back incredibly attractive, and scars would definitely be a downside.Xavier gave her a pitiful look.
The black-suited men paid no attention to Maurice and Kimberly. They each returned to their own tasks."Is there some big shot in the hospital? These guys don't seem like normal guards," Kimberly said as she helped Maurice off to the side.Despite being a prominent family in Jipsfort, the Jowells weren't in the habit of having bodyguards follow them everywhere. They only hired security when absolutely necessary.But these black-suited men seemed to be more than just regular security."I have no idea. Is Quinn really dead?" Maurice's concern was clear. After all, Quinn had just secured entry into that massive Kane Group project."What do you mean, Dad? Are you saying you don't want her to be dead?""Of course not! I want nothing more than for her to be gone. Ever since she returned, our family has been in complete chaos." Maurice was genuinely devoid of any fatherly affection for Quinn.Meanwhile, Ian had regained consciousness. When he saw Quinn and Xavier by his side, tears wel
"Okay," Xavier replied.He was a man without much of a moral compass. If anyone made him uncomfortable, he would make sure they suffered.Yet, Quinn's casual words had him yielding.They went directly to the underground parking lot."Have you found the culprit?" The incident was clearly no accident. Someone was clearly targeting them."Don't worry. I've already sent people to handle it." Anyone who dared to cross Xavier wouldn't get away with it.""Okay." Quinn didn't press further.When they reached the car, Xavier handed the keys to Quinn."Drive to my place. I'll take care of your hand."He was confident in his ability to handle such injuries. For someone accustomed to getting hurt, these were minor issues."Alright."As Quinn drove, Xavier sat in the passenger seat while browsing through his phone. He chuckled at some of the comments online.Quinn glanced at him. She was curious about what had made him smile."People online are saying we look like a perfect couple." Xa
