"Hello everyone, I'm Victor Compton." Victor greeted everyone briefly, without confirming whether he was the legendary Victor. The truth was, too many people sought him out. He was tired of dealing with them. As a result, he always kept his whereabouts a secret.After introducing him to the project team members, Quinn led him to the office prepared for him."Victor, I hope you won't mind the basic facilities we have here." As a top data analyst, Victor was accustomed to receiving the best wherever he went."Quinny, no need to be so stiff! We go way back, remember? Don't worry. As long as I'm here, there won't be any problems with the data."Was that man your boyfriend?"Victor couldn't help but ask. If he was, then what about their junior who had been harboring a crush on Quinn? That kid had always liked her."No, he's not."Her relationship with Xavier was far more complicated than that. She didn't know how to define what was between them right now.After handing the d
Wasn't it money that Kara wanted?Kara gently embraced him. "Mr. Jowell, I'm not interested in your money. I like you very much." Kara's eyes were filled with affection. This made Maurice feel quite accomplished. He never imagined that at over fifty years old, he would have a girl in her twenties so infatuated with him! Oh, his irresistible charm!"I love you too." Maurice gave Kara's bust a playful squeeze. "This has gotten bigger.""It's all because of your hard work that it's grown so much."Kara got onto the bed, which was heavy with Maurice's musky scent.Men—they all liked them young.Men especially loved young women who were very promiscuous and knew how to please them.Meanwhile, Araminta was fuming after being hung up on. What could be so important that he would hang up on her like that? He had never done this before. No matter how busy he was, he would always explain himself. Could it be that he had another woman?Seeing Araminta's distressed express
Quinn and Xavier were not in a romantic relationship. Why should she care about what Xavier thought?"What's wrong?" Victor couldn't help but ask when he saw that she was lost in thought. "Is it inconvenient?""No, let's go! Didn't you want to go to the bar? I'll take you there."Quinn took Victor to Nocturnal Club, the largest nightclub in Jipsfort. They had been here the last time too.After arriving, Victor ordered a lot of drinks and handed her a glass. "Do as you like."Victor genuinely enjoyed drinking; even when he was alone, he liked going to the bars. Quinn wasn't a prude, so she toasted with him.Soon, Nadia arrived. Quinn introduced the two, and Nadia greeted Victor."Where's Xavier? Why didn't he come with you? You two have been inseparable lately!"Xavier had been by Quinn's side constantly. His absence today did strike her as odd!"Nadia, he and I aren't involved the way you think. He doesn't have to be by my side all the time."Xavier wasn't even he
In the end, Quinn still let Xavier come.Xavier arrived quickly, and as soon as he did, he saw Quinn in the nightclub.The woman was a standout; no matter where she went, she was always the most captivating."Hey!"Xavier greeted Nadia.Seeing him arrive, Nadia smiled. As expected, wherever Quinn was, this man was sure to follow.He really liked Quinn."Hi."Nadia hooked her arm around Quinn's wrist."He really does like you, huh!"Quinn gave no reply. Was he into her? Love wasn't always the driving force between men and women. Physical chemistry often played a more significant role."Quinny, you haven't introduced us yet."Xavier looked over at Victor."Victor Compton, my senior."Quinn was brief and to the point."Hello, Victor. You're her senior, huh? I'm Xavier."Victor felt odd.Xavier, the ruler of the borderlands, was emphasizing Victor being Quinn's senior.No matter how he heard it, it had a sinister undertone to it!Especially since the look Xavier was gi
"Quinny, I want to go to the restroom. Come with me!" Nadia tilted her head toward Quinn and said.Quinn nodded.The two women went to the restroom together.Actually, Nadia didn't need to use the toilet; she just wanted to pull Quinn aside."Quinny, they've both had a lot to drink. I hope nothing goes wrong!"Both Victor and Xavier were people Quinny trusted, so she hoped nothing would go wrong."They'll be fine."Quinn used to enjoy drinking too, but she stopped indulging after her stomach got worse.To be honest, watching them drink made her want to join in as well."Does your senior have a thing for you? It seems like Victor and Xavier are subtly competing.""No way."There was no way Victor liked her."Alright then!""Are you tired? If you are, I can take you home first." If they wanted to drink, let them. They could drink all they wanted."I'm alright. I've been rushing to finish my graduation project these past few days, so I haven't had much time to rest."Nadi
"No need, I can go back on my own. Mr. Kane must have friends here! You go ahead and enjoy yourself." Quinn directly refused.She had no interest in boys like Samuel. They seemed to be too childish for her. She absolutely wouldn't get involved with him.Her rejection left Samuel feeling down and out.Xavier, on the other hand, was ecstatic. It was clear that she saw him in a different light."Quinny, I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Let's go back!" Xavier said, grabbing Quinn's hand.Samuel felt even worse. He had finally found a girl he liked. But in the end, she rejected him outright."Let's go!" Quinn nodded and signaled for Xavier and Victor to leave together.Samuel was left alone. He felt utterly dejected. Seeing the unfinished drinks they had left behind, he sat down and continued to drink alone.Just then, one of his friends caught up with him, stunned to see him drinking the leftovers drinks.Wasn't this young man supposed to have mysophobia?He would never touch anythi
The taxi stopped directly at Xavier's villa. He had been leaning on Quinn's shoulder the entire time while still holding her hand. Even as they arrived, he showed no reaction."Xavier, we're here."Hearing her voice, Xavier finally opened his eyes."Are we? Let's go."Since Quinn was sitting on the outside, she had to get out first. After Xavier got out, he immediately wrapped his arm around her and leaned on her.Was he really drunk? Or was he faking it?"My head hurts a bit. Will you take me inside? I don't want to go in alone."Quinn was exasperated but still helped him into the villa. She seemed to let him get away with anything.After helping him onto the couch, she intended to leave him there to fend for himself. But to her surprise, he pulled her down on the couch with him and pressed his weight on her.What was this man trying to do? What on earth was going through his mind?"Xavier, you're drunk.""Aren't we friends with benefits? Do you want to?" His hand was alr
Quinn didn't go straight home. Instead, she went to find Gerald. Unfortunately, she encountered Gerald's son, Kurt, who was demanding money from his father. Gerald refused, and Kurt beat him up."You're my dad! Shouldn't your money be passed down to me? Are you planning to take it to the grave with you?" Kurt shouted angrily. "I don't care. If you don't give me money today, no one's leaving here alive."Kurt was an addict who had borrowed a lot of money. After his relatives refused to lend him more, he turned to loan sharks. The loan shark was threatening his life if he didn't repay the exorbitant loan."Dad, I'm begging you. Aren't you working as a butler at Jowell Villa? The Jowells are filthy rich. Didn't you help Araminta and her daughter before? Go ask them for money. They'll surely give it to you."I'm your only son. If I die, who's going to take care of you when you're old?" Gerald remained silent, unwilling to say a word.Was this karma? Five years ago, he betrayed L
