"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
Robert had two men come forward to pat her down.Quinn spread her arms wide to let them search her.One of the men couldn't help but grope her waist after seeing how stunning she was."They're stunning, Rob! It's been a while since we indulged ourselves, so can we perhaps do that now?" As one of the men said that, the others joined in with lewd laughter. It would have felt incredible to make love to two stunning women!"As soon as we receive the payment, you can choose any woman you want. Stay still for now," Robert remarked coldly.Quinn glanced at the man who had groped her and kept his appearance in mind."There aren't any weapons, Rob."Robert nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Jowell."With that, he instructed someone to tie Quinn up."You've got to get out of here, Quinny! Please, don't worry about me. You still need to look after Lisa! Who will take care of her if something happens to you as well?"Nadia was undeniably anxious. However, with the gun aim
Xavier turned back and flashed Quinn a thumbs-up.These people were nothing but outlaws, each armed with a gun, so Quinn and Xavier didn't show any mercy.They didn't hold back when they pulled the trigger. They knew that sparing the enemy meant hurting themselves, so they fired without the slightest hesitation.Nadia had never seen Quinn in such a state before. She was wielding an actual gun, not just some toy! And her marksmanship was astonishingly accurate! She couldn't help but wonder what she had been through in the borderlands over the years.Quinn and Xavier were both highly skilled fighters. They were more than capable of handling a dozen or so outlaws.Robert had been so sure of himself that he thought he had already successfully completed his job. After all, they were merely two women—there was no way they could slip through their fingers. Yet, in the end, they were the ones who got completely thrashed. They were unable to fight back at all.He wanted to make a run for
