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

"Kurt, don't—"Gerald tried to stop him, but it was already too late.Quinn grabbed Kurt's neck and slammed his head against the wall.Kurt was stunned by the blow.He wanted to fight back, but years of drug use had left him physically weak.He was no match for this young woman.Blood trickled down from his head.A heavy darkness had settled in Quinn's beautiful eyes."You... you..."Kurt could no longer speak. He had only wanted her money, but this woman wanted his life!"Dad, help me."Kurt could only beg his aging father for help.Seeing Quinn's ferocious demeanor, Gerald was also terrified.Quinn had grown far beyond being Jipsfort's fragile little princess.Now, she could kill them with her bare hands."Ms. Jowell, I'm so sorry! I was wrong. Please, have mercy on my son!" Gerald begged."Ms. Jowell, I beg you, please have mercy on us. Araminta forced me to do everything. It was Araminta who asked me to find that man as well."To save himself, Gerald could no longe

Given Gerald's age, Quinn thought it might be better not to dwell on it.Nevertheless, she still grabbed him by the neck and snapped, "You want me to let go of you? Did you ever consider my mother when you helped those pair of adulterers drive her to the edge?" With that, she tightened her grip around his neck.Gerald's eyelids fluttered shut as he contemplated the inevitability of his retribution.Yet, despite his age, he had no desire to die. After all, who would willingly surrender to the embrace of death?At that moment, Kurt got to his feet and grabbed a vase from the living room. He intended to smash it over Quinn's head.That bitch actually dared to hit him! He was determined to kill her that day, preferably after torturing her.However, Quinn, though facing away from him, seemed to perceive his every move.She shoved Gerald out of the way and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick that shattered the vase in Kurt's hands. Shards were sent flying.Upon seeing this, Kurt w

It was well after midnight when Quinn finally returned to Jowell Villa.She didn't expect to run into Xavier here. Upon seeing his car, she walked toward it.She suddenly felt the urge to smoke, and she remembered how much she liked Xavier's cigarettes.As soon as Quinn appeared, Xavier's gaze fell upon her. He remained seated in his car, watching her from inside."I could really use a cigarette."Despite her few words, Xavier could tell that she was upset.He tapped a cigarette out of the pack, lit it, took a couple of drags, and then passed it to her.Quinn took the cigarette, leaned back against the car, and took a drag.At that moment, she appeared so fragile that it was almost unbearable to witness.Xavier couldn't help but wonder where she had been and who she had met. Why did she return in such a state?"Are you alright?""What?"Xavier wanted to be there for her, but she usually rejected any kindness shown to her.He wasn't worried about being rejected, but he was

Christian initially wanted to stick around because of Xavier's exceptional marksmanship. Even though Xavier had personally trained him, Christian could never quite match his skills.Christian intended to take this opportunity to learn more from him, but then he caught sight of Xavier's meaningful gaze.It was only then he belatedly realized that Xavier had probably brought Quinn to the shooting range to show off his skills. His presence felt rather incongruous, so he made up an excuse and left the place. He left the shooting range to the couple.As Xavier helped Quinn put on the safety glasses and earmuffs, he asked, "Do you know how to do it?"Quinn met Xavier's gaze with a hint of disdain. She was indirectly questioning the arrogance behind his question.Christian had been practicing assembling a gun when Xavier's call came in earlier. As a result, the gun was still in pieces at that moment.Quinn took the gun and seamlessly reassembled it in under a minute.After that, she ca

As soon as Xavier made contact, Quinn immediately opened her eyes.She had been living such a perilous life in recent years that she had become highly attuned to her surroundings.Yet, upon seeing that it was Xavier, she closed her eyes again. She was utterly exhausted since she had been shouldering the burden of numerous crises alone all these years. She was, after all, just a young woman who was barely 20 years old, so it was natural for her to feel drained."You can go back to sleep," Xavier murmured tenderly. Quinn remained silent. She simply nestled in his embrace and went back to sleep.Given her chronic sleep issues, getting a good night's rest had always been a luxury. She was so exhausted that she couldn't even muster the energy to care about anything.Xavier carried her directly to the main bedroom. After settling her on the bed, he gently took off her shoes and covered her with the blanket."Good night and sweet dreams, Quinn." A good night's sleep could work wonders

"Excuse me, sir. Did you get any underwear? Your girlfriend probably needs those too," the cashier gently reminded him.It hadn't really occurred to Xavier, so he went back to the shelves to pick out some underwear.Kimberly stopped following and went to pay for her purchases.It didn't matter if he was good-looking and considerate since Xavier was still a poor man!Kimberly tried to convince herself that Simon was the better one. After all, they had been together for five years, and those five years had been quite good.They were going through a rough patch because of Quinn's return. She was confident that everything would go back to normal and that there would be no further issues as long as Quinn was gone.She had faith in their relationship.Despite repeatedly telling herself that she was happy with Simon, a part of her still felt dissatisfied. Why was Xavier so kind toward Quinn? He even went as far as to buy her sanitary pads.During her last period, she had asked Simo

Quinn intended to change the bed sheets, but it turned out that Xavier had beaten her to it. He had already removed them and placed them in the washer.It seemed like Xavier was rather quick on his feet.She had assumed that someone of his stature would be averse to coming into contact with menstrual blood.As soon as she came out, Xavier handed her a cup of water with brown sugar.Upon seeing the drink, Quinn felt a strong aversion to it.Xavier couldn't help but laugh when he noticed her disgusted expression. Quinn, as always, was very averse to drinking traditional medicine."It's only water with brown sugar, not traditional medicine. Do you really have to look like I'm about to poison you?"He would never do anything to hurt her.After hearing that, Quinn accepted the drink. She had always suffered from menstrual cramps because of her body constitution.However, she was accustomed to enduring pain, and her menstrual cramps were no exception. She always gritted her teeth an

Whoever said women lack desire was wrong. Sometimes, a woman's longing could catch the man off guard.Faced with Quinn's boldness, Xavier found it impossible to resist. His desire for her was burning within him.Since being with her, he'd wanted her constantly, and tonight was no exception.Quinn tilted her head, and Xavier landed a peck on her neck, one of her most alluring features.His kiss felt like a gentle spring breeze as he began softly at her lips.That light touch flipped a switch within her. It sent electric tingles racing through her body. It was as if he wielded some mysterious power. As he glided his lips down her neck, each caress sent shivers coursing through her, making her tremble involuntarily.With each kiss moving lower, her heartbeat quickened. She felt as though she were immersed in a sweet dream, and his kisses were the leading melody of this ethereal experience.From her lips to her neck and then to her chest, each kiss ignited a flame deep within her. She cou

"I can't go to the hospital. I messed with the wrong people," Edison murmured. He remembered Quinn's warning. She was connected to Xavier, and he wouldn't dare provoke him."Who did you mess with?" Frank asked, but Edison brushed him off. "How's it going with the research institute?"At the mention of it, Frank hesitated. Was Quinn really that influential? Could Edison's beating be connected to her?"It's... fine. You should rest, Dad. I have to go study," Frank replied. He dared not mention how Quinn had twisted his arm.Meanwhile, Xavier and Quinn escorted Edgar back to the hospital.Edgar clearly didn't want to stay. "Ms. Quinn, I'd really like to go home. I don't like staying in the hospital." His days in the hospital felt like years dragging by—an experience that was anything but pleasant."Did the doctor say you could go home?" Quinn asked."I'm really fine, Ms. Quinn.""Only when the doctor says so." Quinn ignored his complaints."It's suffocating in here. I need to che

Edison's plump body crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.Quinn stepped on his hand, eliciting a pained scream from him.Edison stared up at her, bewildered. This young lady, who looked like an angel, was surprisingly brutal."Do you know what Edgar looked like when I found him?" Quinn's voice was icy.Edgar was like a younger brother to her, and she wouldn't stand for anyone hurting him.Edison fell silent after realizing he had underestimated her."How do you plan to pay for this, Edison?" Quinn picked up a fork from the table.Edison tried to get up, but with her foot on his hand, he couldn't move at all. "What are you doing? Let me tell you—"Before he could finish his sentence, Quinn drove the fork through his palm. His screams echoed in the room.Edison had never imagined they would dare to act so brazenly in Dudore. As he looked at his bleeding hand, his entire body trembled in fear. "W-What do you want?"The two bodyguards looked pale at the sight. They had never en

Since they were going to take revenge, Quinn had already ensured they knew the Faulkner family's whereabouts.The current head of the Faulkner family, Edison Faulkner, was responsible for what happened to Edgar. He was also Frank's father.Edison had a dinner engagement that night at a high-end clubhouse in Dudore.Though once a prestigious family, the Faulkner family had been struggling in recent years, but Edison was unwilling to accept that decline.He was determined to send Frank to the research institute, hoping that would restore the family's status. Tonight's dinner was meant to entertain higher-ups from the institute.As the glasses clinked and laughter filled the air, the door to the private room swung open unexpectedly.Edison frowned. Who was the blind fool who chose to enter at this hour? He already had people guarding the door."Who is it? I specifically said no one is allowed to enter!" Edison snapped.The higher-ups from the institute also wore grim expressions.

"Kid, you should just go face your punishment," Quinn said, declining."Come on, miss. Help me out here!" the young man pleaded."I can't help you. You can go now."The young man looked disappointed, but since Quinn had clearly rejected him, he had no choice but to leave."That poor guy," Nadia joked.Xavier, however, didn't share her sentiment. "I think Quinny handled it well. If she gave just anyone her number, she'd be in trouble someday."Besides, it wasn't like their game had anything to do with her. Why should she comply?They sat in the bar for over an hour.Quinn had something to attend to, so she took Nadia home first."Where are you going? Do you need my help?" Nadia asked. Although she wasn't good at fighting, she was willing to lend a hand."Just get some rest. It's nothing major. I'll handle it and be back before you know it," Quinn replied."Are you sure you'll be back tonight?" Nadia glanced at Xavier. She knew he couldn't leave her alone."Go home. Just make

"Nada, this fish is delicious. You should try it," Quinn said, passing the dish over.Nadia took a piece and nodded in approval. "This place really has great flavor. We should come here again."With both of them being people who didn't particularly enjoy cooking, they would probably end up eating out frequently."If you like it, I can have them deliver to your house. I'll get the manager to give you a business card later," Xavier offered.This restaurant didn't just have excellent food. The hygiene and service were top-notch as well."Really? I thought such a high-end restaurant wouldn't do deliveries.""They do," Xavier said. It was just a matter of asking anyway.After dinner, Nadia wanted to unwind a bit. Since arriving in Dudore, she hadn't had the chance to visit a bar, and Dudore was known for its nightlife.Now that she was here, she naturally had to experience it for herself."Quinny, are you heading back to the research institute tonight? If not, let's go to a bar for

Lisa's tone was especially gentle. After nearly three months of treatment, her condition had improved significantly.Gradually, she was becoming the serene Lisa she once was.Once the call ended, Quinn gazed out the window, oblivious to the fact that Xavier was still holding her hand.Xavier was holding her hand with one hand and gripping the steering wheel with the other. It wasn't until they reached the restaurant that he finally let go.He dropped Quinn and Nadia at the restaurant entrance while he went to find parking. The parking area was quite far, so he didn't ask them to come along.As he drove off, Quinn and Nadia waited at the entrance."Quinny, it's great to see Lisa coming back to herself," Nadia said with a smile.Although the past five years had been challenging, it was comforting to see everything getting better.Quinn felt a wave of joy as she reflected on Lisa's remarkable recovery. Given how bad Lisa had been before, it brought her immense happiness to see her

Nadia opened the car door and hopped in.Quinn wanted to join her at the back, but she declined. "Just sit in the front. It's a hassle switching around."Xavier smiled at this. Nadia, indeed, knew how to read the situation.She returned his smile.Xavier was a big shot, after all. Of course, she had to be wise."How's the hiring going? Do you need my help?" Quinn turned to Nadia."Don't worry. I've already hired three people. Since Sully is just starting out, I want to take it slow. I don't want to hire too many at once.""Alright, I'll leave it to you, then." Quinn was just the investor. She wouldn't interfere too much with how Nadia chose to run things."By the way, Quinny, how's everything at the research institute? You need to be cautious around those who hurt Edgar," Nadia said with a hint of worry."I know. Don't worry. There's no need to be concerned about them."Nadia shook her head. "Quinny, this is Dudore. You should be careful." People here would do anything for pr

Kimberly was also present. Noticing Simon's concern for Quinn made her fists clench unconsciously.She had her own plans to go out today. Gregory was going to introduce her to a big shot. He was slowly coming to recognize her potential and would provide her with all his resources."Simon, you know I'm not Maurice's daughter. I'm Gregory's daughter. Gregory Thorpe from the Thorpe family of Dudore. You're aware of that, right?" Kimberly spoke with pride.Simon looked into her eyes. "So what?""My dad is introducing me to a big shot today. Do you want to come? If you agree to get back with me now, I'll overlook everything that happened before.""No, thanks. I really don't need that. You go ahead," Simon replied firmly.In the past, it had always been Shania pushing him. Yet deep down, he wanted to stand on his own. It might seem naive, but he wanted to give it a try.Seeing him try to walk away, Kimberly grabbed his hand. "Simon, don't you want to get your mom out soon?"Why was h
