"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
"Nads, tonight is just for us," Quinn said."Alright, then."Nadia was genuinely touched. At least Quinn hadn't forgotten their bond despite everything. She was indeed her best friend.Blaze BBQ never disappointed. The barbecue paired with beer was an unbeatable combination.Quinn ordered plenty of Nadia's favorite meats, and Nadia enjoyed every bite.Finally, Nadia poured herself a beer."Quinny, you should avoid drinking since your stomach isn't great. Here's to you. Congratulations on winning today's project. Honestly, you've always been impressive to me. I knew you could do it."Nadia believed that Quinn would achieve anything she wanted."Thank you," Quinn said."No need to thank me," Nadia said. "Once we've dealt with all the bad guys, we'll go to the borderlands and pick up Lisa together. She must be feeling so lonely over there."No one liked being alone, especially Lisa, who had suffered so much. Nadia knew Lisa must be terrified."Everything here will be sorted out
But back home, Maurice felt that Araminta was never satisfied with him. Kara, on the other hand, looked at him with admiration, which fed his male ego immensely."What's this, Maurice? Are you trying to argue with me today? Are you blaming me now? Everything I've done has been for you and Kimberly. Was it for me?"How can you say that? Quinn has returned and secured the Kane Group project so quickly. She's held a grudge against us for a long time. Aren't you at all worried? I've worked tirelessly for five years for Four Seasons Incorporated, and now it feels like it's all been for nothing. How can I be happy?""What are you worried about? My project is still ongoing. The bidding conference is tomorrow, and I'm confident I'll win." Maurice was quite confident about himself. "Araminta, can you have a bit of faith in me?"Araminta felt really frustrated. But with Maurice, she didn't know what else to say.Sometimes, she genuinely thought his vision was limited. Yet, he was the best s
"Honestly, I can't believe she really managed to defeat Xandor Group.""Who would have believed it? At first, I thought her claim of taking down Xandor Group in three months was a joke. It turns out the joke was on me.""We're all the joke here. It's unbelievable."A young lady with nothing managed to topple Xandor Group. That alone was a miracle.A few familiar faces approached to say hello."Ms. Jowell, it's incredible that you secured a partnership with Kane Group. Please remember us in the future!""Yeah, we'd love to get some of the benefits too."Partnering with Kane Group was a dream for many. If the stakes weren't so high, Xandor Group wouldn't have gone to such lengths to win the project."There might be opportunities in the future." Quinn remained indifferent.Seeing her demeanor, the others didn't press further. Everyone was still observing. As they were unsure of Quinn's backers, no one dared to offend her. She must have significant support behind her.After the c
When Simon saw Shania return, he stepped out of his room."Mom, who's targeting us?" It was clear someone was behind their current predicament. How else could such real-name whistleblowing happen?"I don't know. I don't even know who's behind this," Shania replied. The anonymity of their attackers made the situation even more terrifying.The online accusations came in waves—some true, some false. But the enraged netizens didn't bother to discern the truth. They were quick to condemn at the slightest hint of controversy."Could it be Quinn?" Simon asked with suspicion."Quinn? How could it be her? She could never be my rival." Shania couldn't fathom it being Quinn."But, Mom, she did take the Kane Group project from you, and Mr. Kane seems to like her a lot."Shania fell silent.If it were Quinn, it would be terrifying. Given Quinn's grudge against them, she might indeed bring them to ruin."Mom, how's Shelly doing? Since we can't figure this out, let's ask the Patterson family
If the Xandor family went down, Shelly knew she wouldn't have a good life either. As Darius was about to step into the elevator, she hurried over."Darius, my family's in trouble. Could you help make a call?" Shelly asked, lowering herself."What happened?" Shelly had been serving him well, so Darius was willing to do her a small favor.Shelly quickly explained the situation at home, and Darius agreed to look into it.Meanwhile, back in Jipsfort, Ian was still lying in the hospital. Xavier decided to visit him since he had nothing better to do."Xav, don't you need to be with Ms. Quinn today?" Ian asked."She's got someone with her. She doesn't need me." Even though she was just hanging out with a lady, Xavier still felt a bit annoyed.Hearing the tone in Xavier's voice, Ian couldn't help but chuckle. But fearing it might upset Xavier, he stifled his laughter, which made his wound hurt.At that moment, Ian received a call from one of his subordinates."Xav, Mr. Darius is doing
Both Maurice and Simon had betrayed Quinn in their own ways, leaving her unable to believe in love anymore."Quinn, can we talk?" Simon was convinced that things shouldn't have deteriorated between them like this.Quinn didn't even spare him a glance. She couldn't fathom how he had the audacity to stand before her and say such things."Get lost."Simon frowned. "Are you the one targeting my family?"Nadia slapped Simon across the face again.Simon, who was finally fed up, shoved Nadia. She nearly toppled over in her high heels, but Quinn caught her by the waist and steadied her."How dare you lay a hand on her?" Quinn helped Nadia sit on the couch, then stood up.Simon instinctively took a few steps back. "Quinn, I came here today to find a solution. Don't—"Before he could finish, Quinn grabbed the hand he had used to push Nadia and, without hesitation, snapped it.Despite it being nearly midnight, Nocturnal Club was still buzzing with activity. But the room fell silent as e
