"Arrange a flight to the borderlands now. Don't ask any questions," Xavier ordered."Okay."Xavier sped through the streets and arrived at Jipsfort Airport in no time.Throughout the drive, Ian had been busy arranging the flight.Upon reaching the airport, Xavier immediately called his contacts in the borderlands. "Launch a full-scale search. Spare no effort. We must find her. Stop everything else. Find her first."After ending the call, Xavier went to find Quinn. He tried calling her, but the line was always busy.Ian and Xavier split up to search. Since there were no direct flights from Jipsfort to the borderlands, she must have had to fly somewhere else first.Quinn was also making calls, instructing her people in the borderlands to search for Lisa. She had to find Lisa, no matter what.When she ended the call, her hands were trembling.After five years, she had long mastered the art of controlling her emotions. Yet today, she truly couldn't keep them in check.Lisa must b
"Four Seasons Incorporated is ours, Araminta," Maurice said.Only then did Araminta glance at him. "Who exactly do you mean by 'ours'? You and me, or you and Kara?""Trust me, Araminta. You're still the person I love most. I just want the child in her womb. As you know, no matter how powerful I am now, when I go back to the village, people still say I have no son.""Maurice, do you really want a son that badly?" Araminta's voice was filled with disappointment."We'll discuss this another time. What's crucial now is solving the shareholders' meeting issue. I absolutely cannot lose Four Seasons Incorporated."His project had failed. The shareholders' meeting the next day was detrimental to him."Lisa is missing, and Quinn has gone to the borderlands. Handle the rest yourself!" Araminta said.If Quinn died there, she wouldn't be able to come back and claim what belonged to them, right?"Either Quinn dies, or we capture Lisa. I've said everything that needs to be said. The rest is
After his man left, Xavier couldn't help but feel a deep concern for Quinn. He wanted to comfort her, but he knew that no words would reach her at this moment.He signaled the flight attendant to prepare some food for her. "You need to eat something. Your stomach can't handle this."He understood her worry, but no matter how anxious she was, she still needed to take care of herself. If she collapsed before they reached the borderlands, it would only make things worse."Your mom still needs you, Quinny.""You're right." Quinn had no appetite, but she knew Xavier was right. Now more than ever, she couldn't afford to collapse.She was Lisa's only support. If she crumbled now, Lisa would be truly alone.Xavier tried to feed her, but she refused. She opted to take the food herself. She ate quickly, knowing she needed the energy. Weakness wasn't an option. She couldn't afford to collapse.Seeing her eat, Xavier poured her a glass of juice.Quinn finished her meal, then closed her eye
Kimberly went to Simon's room to look for him. He hadn't had time to see her in the past few days.He didn't even go to the research institute. She couldn't understand what he was so preoccupied with, especially with their exams fast approaching."Simon, I know you don't like hearing this, but as your fiancée, I have to say it. The exam is just around the corner. How do you plan to pass if you keep this up? Quinn has already moved on with another man, Simon. Can't you stop holding on to her?"Kimberly had resisted admitting this truth for a long time, but it was undeniable. No matter how much she wished it were different, the facts remained the same.Simon didn't want to hear any of it. "I can handle my own affairs. Don't start acting like my mom, okay? She keeps trying to control me, and now you want to do the same?"Was he not allowed to make his own decisions?"But everything I'm saying is for your own good," Kimberly replied. Her voice was tinged with hurt. "We've been togeth
Seeing Shania's smug expression, Araminta felt a wave of discomfort.However, now that both families were bound together in this alliance, she couldn't afford to have a falling out with her. Reluctantly, she returned home.That night, Kimberly didn't leave the Xandor residence, and Simon began to form his own plans.He was determined to secure a place at M Research Institute. Only by getting into M Research Institute could he gain control over his life and decisions.As for Quinn, he had no intention of letting her off easily. One day, he would make sure she was on her knees, begging for his forgiveness.…Meanwhile, Xavier's plane finally touched down.As they disembarked, Quinn almost stumbled. Luckily, Xavier caught her swiftly. "Take it slow. We're here.""Thanks. Xavier, I really appreciate everything you've done. If you ever need anything from me in the future, just ask." Quinn was someone who hated owing favors, but this one was undeniable.Xavier disliked hearing her s
Nadia rushed over and hugged Quinn tightly. "Are you okay, Quinny?" Although it had only been a day since they last saw each other, Quinn looked utterly drained.Hearing Nadia's voice, Quinn forced a smile. "Why did you come? This place is dangerous. You shouldn't have come."Nadia clung to her even tighter. "I couldn't let you be here alone. I know I'll probably just hold you back, but I still wanted to be with you."…"What? You've found her?" Araminta was genuinely surprised at how smoothly everything was unfolding."Good. Get in touch with Quinn immediately. Tell her to relinquish her claim to Four Seasons Incorporated and transfer all her shares."Araminta's mood soared. As long as they had Lisa under their control, Quinn would be powerless. Everyone knew how important Lisa was to Quinn.After giving a few more instructions, Araminta hung up the phone.Maurice was beside her. Hearing what she said, he felt reassured as well.However, seeing him at home didn't please Arami
"I promise I will bring your mom back safely. Please, trust me this one time." Xavier's voice was filled with determination. He genuinely wanted Quinn to have faith in him.However, Quinn shook her head. "I'll go myself."Five years ago, she had lost the ability to trust others. The only person she could rely on was herself. "Give me the lead."Xavier sighed, knowing that she couldn't find peace any other way. "Alright, but let's go together. That way, we'll have belts and braces. What do you think?"If she went alone, no one could predict the outcome. Most importantly, he feared for her safety."Let him go with you, Quinny. I'd be worried sick if you went alone. Xavier genuinely cares about you," Nadia said.Having extra help was better than going solo. If anything went wrong, at least Xavier would be there to protect her."I'm coming with you too," Ian chimed in.No matter who the other party was, they had a hostage in their hands. They needed to be extremely careful."No, I
"You're quite bold, Maurice. Do you think I'm never going back?" Quinn's voice was cold. Maurice's blatant threats indicated they were confident she wouldn't be able to return."Quinny, you've been fine in the borderlands for the past five years. Why are you so determined to come back? Jipsfort no longer holds anything for you. Just stay away." Maurice had no interest in her returning.Quinn didn't waste any more words. She would deal with them later. Her immediate focus was on finding Lisa.Lisa was such a timid person. She must be terrified right now.While driving, Xavier held Quinn's hand. He was offering silent comfort.Just then, Ian's call came through. "Xav, we've located Ms. Gatrell. They are keeping her at Shadow Eagle Gang's base."As long as the person was in the borderlands, Xavier would always be able to find them.Shadow Eagle Gang…Maurice and Araminta were bold, indeed.Shadow Eagle Gang was notorious in the borderlands for their ruthlessness. Once someone cro
