Quinn was truly rendered speechless. She simply closed her eyes and didn't bother to respond to him.She was itching to make a move, and her body was also getting restless, but she knew it wasn't the time for it.Before long, they finally reached Waterfront Villa.After parking the car, Joshua got out and said, "I'll be heading back now, Xav."Xavier waited until Joshua had left before getting out of the car.It seemed like Quinn was truly exhausted. Despite her initial enthusiasm, she was now fast asleep.Xavier had no choice but to gently carry her out of the car.Upon seeing how soundly she was sleeping in his arms, he couldn't bring himself to disturb her slumber and directly carried her to the main bedroom.However, as soon as Xavier laid her down, Quinn suddenly opened her eyes."Do you want to do it?"Xavier really didn't mean to wake her up.Quinn responded by yanking Xavier's tie and pulling him toward her."Aren't you fond of flirting?"Xavier took Quinn's respon
Xavier was undoubtedly an excellent lover. Be it in the borderlands or in business, he was decisive and ruthless. He left no room for error.Yet, when it came to Quinn, he was incredibly patient. In matters of intimacy, he never indulged his own desires first. He always sought to please her first. He went out of his way to serve her like a queen.Xavier was Quinn's first man, and he had led her in exploring different positions. Each one offered a new experience. Everything he did was motivated by his true feelings.His kisses trailed from her forehead to her lips and down to her collarbone. Each kiss left a trail of tingling sensations in its wake."Come on. Spread your legs," Xavier commanded.His kisses slowly made their way down, and then, unexpectedly, he kissed her in that intimate place.Quinn couldn't quite handle it at first, but at that moment, Xavier was very assertive. In the end, it felt incredibly good. She wasn't sure how to describe it, nor did she want to. She was
"I couldn't hold back last night, so you're probably really exhausted right now."Xavier gently carried her downstairs and handed her a glass of warm water. Quinn sat on the couch and slowly drank the water.Upon seeing that it was almost time, she knew she had to leave for the office.It was finally the day for Kane Group's project bidding. It was very important to her since she needed this to convince the board of directors of Four Seasons Incorporated to wholeheartedly back her in taking control of the company."Don't worry, I'll drop you off right after breakfast. You won't be late."It didn't really matter, even if she showed up a bit late. Stanley would definitely cooperate with her, and those at Xandor Group were destined to be left in the dust.After drinking some warm water, Quinn ate a bit of breakfast.After all, Xavier had gotten up early in the morning to make breakfast. It would have been a shame if she didn't eat any of it.As he watched her eat, Xavier suddenly
Quinn had no interest in debating with him. His choices were his own to make, and she had no right to interfere.Xavier unexpectedly got out of the car and accompanied her to the project department.Upon noticing Xavier, Victor immediately hid behind her and asked, "What's he doing here? Is he here because of the dance last night? There's no reason for him to act like this!"Even though Victor enjoyed picking on Xavier, he knew he wouldn't be able to withstand Xavier's beating if they actually got into a fight."He said he's here to become my bodyguard."Victor was rendered speechless. Xavier, the ruler of the borderlands, actually reduced himself to become Quinn's bodyguard. How unbelievable!"We should probably head out now. Come on, let's go," Quinn urged. She did not want to waste any more time."Alright, let's go," Victor said solemnly. He was more than competent when it came to serious business.Luna had also finalized everything for their proposal. It was their project t
Xavier's driving skills simply left the other cars in the dust. One of the cars even spun out and crashed into the guardrail. Xavier merely glanced at them in the rearview mirror.Xavier used to be involved in racing. He was a few years older than Quinn and Ian and had taken a break from racing for the past two years. However, even though he had taken a break from racing, his skills were still top-notch.He was a former racing legend. There was no way those cars could have cornered him.Despite that, the cars barreled toward them as if they had lost their minds. Given that they couldn't outdrive him, they decided to crash into him headfirst instead.Upon seeing this, Xavier's gaze turned cold with a murderous intent. If they were ready to throw their lives away, he wouldn't hesitate to respond in kind."Hold on tight. I'm going to take you for a spin.""Go ahead," Quinn stated. She showed no fear whatsoever.It was entirely Xavier's show from then on. He handled the car with suc
Everyone from Xandor Group couldn't help but feel a little uneasy after seeing this, though they were confident in their work.However, if Stanley had already made up his mind from the start, their efforts would have been in vain."We're not just going to be bystanders in this, right, Mrs. Xandor?""I know, right? We've put so much effort into this. It would be such a shame if we ended up losing.""If we lost fair and square, we would be willing to accept it. However, if it's for other reasons, that would be really frustrating." "Enough of that. You should just do what you need to do and don't bother about the rest." It was futile to say anything at this point. Stanley was clearly very fond of Quinn, and that was something no one could change.Before long, Quinn's phone rang. If it had been anyone else, she wouldn't have answered. However, because the caller was Nadia, Quinn answered the call.Yet, when she answered the call, it wasn't Nadia on the other end, but a man."Hey
Nadia would never allow Quinn to do that."Hang in there, Nads. I'll come pick you up soon," Quinn said before hanging up.Xavier had just returned from the restroom when he saw Quinn briefing Victor."If I can't make it back in time, you'll have to step in for me. We have to secure this project at all costs.""What's the matter, Quinny? Did something happen? Where are you rushing off to?" Victor asked. His voice was filled with concern.He had never seen Quinn in such a state before. Something bad must have happened."Victor, I'll entrust this matter to you and Ms. Lewitt. I'll be back very soon." She was determined to secure this project and safely bring Nadia back.Despite her reassurances, Victor still felt uneasy and insisted on going with her."You can leave this to Ms. Lewitt, Quinny. I'm coming with you." It was clear that something had gone wrong since someone as indifferent as Quinn suddenly reacted in such a way."You should stay here and take care of this project.
"I know," Quinn replied. There was no way she would allow anything to happen to Nadia.Quinn called one of her subordinates, spat out a phone number, and said, "I need you to trace this phone number right away.""No problem, Ms. Quinn. I'll get on it right away. I'll send you the location as soon as I have it." Quinn usually didn't call on them unless it was for something really important.Xavier opened the door for her to take the passenger seat. As soon as they got in, Quinn remained silent.Xavier then contacted Ian. He instructed him to trace the phone number as well.Ian was lying in the hospital bed and bored out of his mind. As soon as he received the task, he sprang into action.They both received the location almost simultaneously. After confirming it was the same place, they set off for the destination.Given that lives were at stake, Xavier drove as fast as he could, and they reached their destination in no time. Before stepping out of the car, Xavier handed a gun t
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
