Xavier didn't get mad. He and Quinn had a long way to go, and he would make her slowly get used to him.Edgar led them inside. A dozen men were dangling in the air. They had already been there for a day. From the moment the men had been brought there, Edgar and the others hadn't said a word. Their future was unknown, and it was precisely that uncertainty that made everything seem scarier."It's you!" Tom Hansen, the leader of the other 11 men, finally reacted to seeing Quinn.She smirked at him, making a chill run down his spine. She was far too terrifying—he and his men didn't stand a chance against her despite their strength in numbers.It was as if she were a devil from hell. She didn't seem to fear death at all. Because of that, her actions scared them.Quinn picked up a leather whip. "Are you guys going to talk, or should I make you talk?""What are you trying to do? You can't imprison and torture us like this! It's illegal!" Tom yelled. At his voice, the 11 others woke up

At Edgar's words, Tom started begging Quinn for mercy. "Ms. Jowell, I made a mistake! I know where I've gone wrong now, so please let me go! We now know that we shouldn't have done this and won't do it again!"Ms. Jowell, this is Jipsfort, not the borderlands. You can't just murder anyone at will here! You're better off handing us over to the police!"He would rather be arrested than be left in Quinn's hands."It's just killing a few men. We can return to the borderlands after that." Edgar looked unfazed at the thought of murder. The men had to die for daring to lay a hand on Quinn. "Don't worry, Ms. Quinn. I'll return to the borderlands after getting rid of them.""Hand them over to the police. Remember this, Edgar—we're lawful citizens. We shouldn't talk about murder so flippantly." Quinn turned to leave."Hold up," Xavier said. He had been watching everything from the sidelines this whole time. Quinn had probably vented her frustration after whipping Tom, but he was still fum

If Quinn were to turn down Xavier's invitation for dinner, he wouldn't stop pestering her. So, she gave in to him. They went to a popular restaurant in Jipsfort, Riverview Restaurant. The manager, John Waylon, attended to them in person.Xavier pulled out Quinn's seat for her and only took his seat across from her after that. Just then, her phone rang."Where are you, Quinny? I'll head to where you are. Let's have dinner together.""Okay. I'll send you the location." Quinn hung up and sent Nadia her location. Then, she said flippantly, "A friend of mine is coming over. I'm sure you wouldn't mind, Mr. Patterson."She didn't really care if he minded. He could leave if he didn't like it.Xavier poured her a glass of wine and smiled. "Any friend of yours is a friend of mine, too."Quinn didn't respond to that. She turned to look out at the fantastic view of the river. Xavier admired her gorgeous side profile while she looked at the scenery. To him, she was the best scenery he wou

Quinn couldn't help thinking of Xavier's toned muscles and sexy Adam's apple. Even if she was used to looking at handsome men, she had to admit that Xavier was the finest specimen of a man she had ever seen."You're already 20 years old, Quinny. It's time for you to get some action." Nadia snickered. "You're not going to lose out on anything if you get it on with him."Xavier left them to chat. He knew his manners and didn't interrupt them. Instead, he had John serve the dishes. John had arranged for them to try Jipsfort's most popular dishes. Nadia couldn't help gulping at the abundance of good food before her. Quinn handed her a set of cutlery and said, "Let's eat."Nadia was a foodie through and through; she couldn't resist any good food. She took the cutlery and beamed at Xavier. "Where are you from, Mr. Patterson?" She was very curious about him."I'm from Dudore.""Oh, okay." Nadia wasn't too happy about that. Quinn would probably settle down in Jipsfort in the future. Did

"Did you come here to wait for me, Quinn?" Simon asked. He hadn't heard a word of Nadia and Kimberly's conversation. Quinn was the only one he could see.She was speechless. What in the world had given him such confidence?"Simon…" Kimberly tightened her grip on Simon's arm. She was his fiancée! How could he keep staring at Quinn?"If you're obedient enough and willing to listen to me, Quinn, I can talk to your dad and convince him to allow you to remain in Jipsfort. Life in the borderlands can't be good—I'll help you with that if you just ask nicely," Simon said.He would marry Kimberly, but if Quinn were willing to remain by his side, he wouldn't mind allowing her to do so."Simon!" Kimberly couldn't believe her ears. How could he offer to help Quinn?"Don't worry. Nothing will change the fact that I'm going to marry you." It was perfectly normal for a man to have mistresses and affairs, right?Quinn couldn't help laughing. Simon was as delusional as ever.He frowned. "Why ar

Simon had never liked the look of Xavier. He was even more annoyed now that Xavier had jumped into the conversation. He said, "I've already said whatever I need to say, Quinn. No one can save you if you continue mingling with riffraff like him.""Riffraff like me? Who do you think you are, calling me that?" Xavier glanced at Simon. The latter had irked him long ago."I'm just saying it as it is." Simon looked Xavier in the eye.Xavier smiled, but it made a chill run down Simon's spine. "I guess that means I don't need to hold back anymore." With that, he punched Simon. Kimberly yelped in shock and subconsciously jumped aside.Simon hadn't expected Xavier to suddenly get physical, especially not when they were in Riverview Restaurant, which was owned by his family.Nadia felt good when she saw Simon getting punched. He was the one who had refused to leave Quinn alone, yet how had things turned out? He had gotten together with Kimberly when Quinn had been at her lowest. But

Kimberly was speechless. When she saw John approaching them, she ordered, "Hurry up and have the security guards come over to help!""There's no need for that. This is a battle between men." Simon was a prideful man. How could he possibly have anyone help him, especially with Quinn around?He felt upset at Kimberly constantly wanting to help. No one liked being thought of as a weakling. "Do you think I can't handle him, Kimberly?""I'm just worried about you, Simon," she said. Xavier looked like he wouldn't be easy to deal with. Why did Simon just have to make himself look bad?Besides, more people were stopping to watch them. Had he considered how his actions would humiliate her?"I don't need your concern," Simon snarled. He pushed Kimberly away and attacked Xavier. As the Xandor family's heir, he had been trained in taekwondo and karate since childhood. Xavier had only managed to punch his tooth out earlier because he had been caught off guard.Xavier didn't even bat an eye

The police soon arrived at Riverview Restaurant. Even the police superintendent, Brad Smith, came right after learning that Simon had been injured. As soon as he got there, he approached Simon and said, "Are you alright, Mr. Xandor? How about I take you to the hospital? I'll have my men take these troublemakers back to the station."Simon was in so much pain that he couldn't bring himself to speak. He could only nod.Brad ordered his men to take Xavier and Quinn to the police station, while he escorted Simon and Kimberly to the hospital."Come with us," a police officer told Xavier and Quinn. Xavier raised an eyebrow but didn't make things hard for the police officer. He turned to leave.Meanwhile, Quinn frowned. What did this have to do with her? Why did she have to head to the police station, too?"I hope you won't make things difficult for us, Ms. Jowell," the police officer said politely. He was only doing his job.Seeing that Quinn hadn't followed him, Xavier went back and

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.

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
