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
Nadia merely hummed in response.Quinn personally sent Nadia home and arranged for someone to watch over her outside.Nadia called out to Quinn just as she was about to walk away."What's the matter?" Quinn asked. Despite being pressed for time, she still stopped in her tracks for Nadia.Nadia suddenly lunged at Quinn and wrapped her arms around her while saying, "I'm just not used to this, Quinny. Please know that no matter what you become, you'll always be my best friend."Upon seeing her in such a state, Nadia felt a deep ache in her heart. She had clearly suffered a lot in the borderlands—far beyond what she had ever imagined.Quinn affectionately patted her head and said, "Alright, we'll have dinner tonight, and we can talk more about it then." "Alright."After watching Quinn get into the elevator, Nadia closed the door and went to take a shower.Quinn had indeed changed. Yet, her transformation left others feeling deeply pained.Quinn got back in the car. She chose the
"Are you afraid, Mrs. Xandor?" Victor's voice was icy. How dare Shania be so brazen?"Afraid? Xandor Group fears nothing in Jipsfort," Shania responded with unbridled arrogance. She wasn't just any woman who had risen to such heights without some serious skill."Yet you're doing everything you can to keep us from bidding on this project," Victor shot back."Everyone, I'm the data analyst for Four Seasons Incorporated on this project. My name is Victor Compton," he announced his name with authority."Victor Compton? That Victor?""The genius data analyst? The Wallus Street big shot?"Several of the Kane Group's directors looked toward Stanley, who was connected to this circle and should know for sure.Stanley nodded in confirmation."It's really him! It's an honor, Mr. Compton.""If it's you on this project, we're certainly interested.""So many people would kill to work with you!"Shania was irked. No matter how skilled Victor was, he was still just one person. Why were they
Everyone knew how difficult this project was. Yet, when they saw the results that Four Seasons Incorporated produced, they couldn't help but be impressed, even if they were competitors."Isn't Ms. Jowell just incredible? She's only been back for a short while. Rumors were that she had lost her edge at the borderlands.""Well, look who she brought on board—Victor Compton! Victor's never even shown up in Jipsfort before. How did she manage to get him here? What's the deal between them?""Come on, Ms. Jowell is gorgeous. If she wants someone to help, it's probably as easy as batting her eyelashes."When a young woman was beautiful, people would often attribute her success to her looks."True. A woman's body is her best asset, isn't it?""What did you say? Say that again." Xavier overheard their conversation. He already had a commanding presence, but now, fueled by anger, he was even more intimidating."I..."Before the man could respond, Xavier punched him squarely in the face. Th
Stanley's critique was spot on. True to his reputation from Dudore, his insight and perspective were unparalleled. He effortlessly pinpointed the issues in the projects.Shania, however, was displeased to have her team's shortcomings aired in front of so many people. She was convinced their project had no flaws.Despite this, Stanley could not help but commend Four Seasons Incorporated's project."Honestly, the most impressive project today was Ms. Jowell's. Her vision and decisiveness at such a young age make us look forward to the future of Four Seasons Incorporated."Finally, I announce that for the next three years, Kane Group will enter into a comprehensive partnership with Four Seasons Incorporated. This is our first project together, but it certainly won't be the last."As Stanley concluded his announcement, thunderous applause erupted in the room. Although they didn't win the bid, they recognized their shortcomings.Nevertheless, the collaboration with Kane Group meant en
Outside, the flashes of cameras were relentless. It seemed like almost every reporter in Jipsfort had gathered here."Mrs. Xandor, please come down for an interview.""That's right. Is Xandor Group too scared to talk to the media? Could it be that you're feeling guilty?""The public has a right to know. Xandor Group must give us an explanation."Seeing that Shania refused to get out of the car, the onlookers could no longer contain their emotions. They began throwing objects at her vehicle.Shania was too wary to face the reporters regarding the online allegations.Given that the accuser had dared to make a real-name whistleblowing report, they likely had some evidence.If she accepted the interview now, she might end up being embarrassed further if the evidence proved her wrong."What should we do now, Mrs. Xandor?""Get the security over here! We have so many guards at Xandor Group. They should be able to clear this out."This was Shania's first encounter with such a chaoti
"Ms. Jowell, may I give you a hug?" Luna asked.Quinn opened her arms, and Luna gently embraced her."Ms. Jowell, we will definitely take back Four Seasons Incorporated." Luna was determined to make those responsible for Lisa's suffering pay for what they had done.Quinn patted her on the back. "Thank you." She was grateful for Luna's unwavering support, especially when she had nothing left.Luna shook her head. "I should be the one thanking you." She had always wanted to do something, but she was so powerless on her own. Thankfully, Quinn came back.Luna and Ryan needed to head back to the company. After receiving a call, Victor left.With that, only Xavier remained beside Quinn."I'll take you to Nadia," he said. With everything that had happened today, Quinn would likely want to be with Nadia tonight."Alright."Nadia was understandably shaken. Quinn needed to be there for her.Xavier took her hand and pulled her into his embrace."A true friend will feel your pain." He k
Nadia could see that Xavier genuinely cared for Quinn. However, Quinn herself didn't believe in love."What's wrong?" Quinn asked."Nothing. Let's go! I've been craving Blaze BBQ for ages."Nadia quickly went to change. As they headed downstairs, they spotted Xavier still waiting by the curb.What was he still doing here?Quinn approached him. "I told you not to wait for me. Why are you still here?"Was he always so free?"It's fine. Where are you two going? I can drive you. I promise not to intrude." He was particularly considerate today."Why don't we just have dinner together tonight? A barbecue is more fun with more people," Nadia suggested. It was a day worth celebrating.Nadia understood Xavier wanted to be around Quinn."Is that okay?" Xavier looked at Quinn with anticipation. He really wanted to celebrate with her but wouldn't push if she wasn't comfortable."I was planning to have dinner with Nads alone tonight."Tonight was meant to be their time, and Xavier's pre
