Quinn patiently coaxed Lisa until she finally agreed to wear the bulletproof vest.With each passing second, the tension grew as Aquila remained a hostage in Xavier's hands. Mason and his subordinates didn't dare to make a move.At that very moment, Mason's phone suddenly rang—it was a call from Maurice."Answer it," Quinn urged, as Mason hesitated.As soon as the call was connected, Maurice's voice was laced with impatience as he said, "Well? Did Quinn agree to it? If not, simply dispose of her in the borderlands. I'll triple your payment."Maurice could not come to terms with the idea of being left with nothing. If the only way for him to find peace was through the deaths of Quinn and Lisa, he would kill them in a heartbeat. He was about to welcome a son anyway, and Quinn was nothing but a source of annoyance."You've really outdone yourself this time, Maurice," Quinn sneered.Upon hearing Quinn's voice, Maurice was momentarily shocked. After that, he quickly assumed that Maso
Xavier grabbed Aquila and pulled him up. Aquila was injured in both hands and his right foot. His injuries made it difficult for him to walk."I've done as you asked and brought her to you. Aren't you supposed to leave now? Why won't you let me go?" Aquila asked as he glanced warily at Xavier.Xavier was annoyed with his rambling, so he struck him with the gun and snapped, "Shut up and do as I say! What's with all that rambling? Are you looking to die right now?"Did he need to spell everything out for Aquila?Aquila was infuriated after being struck, yet he could do nothing about it."Please, I beg of you. If you let me go, I'll give you anything you desire."Aquila had worked tirelessly to get where he was, and there was no way he was giving it up.He had dozens of people's blood on his hands. If he were to go back to Cryona, his life would be over.He was a wanted man, with a bounty of hundreds of thousands of dollars on his head. There was no way he could go back. Xavier
"Given that they've taken Aquila and you've been injured, we need to carefully plan our next move." With that, the members of Shadow Eagle Gang went off to discuss the next course of action.They completely ignored Mason, whose eye was still bleeding.Aquila shuddered, his fear palpable. Despite the distance, Xavier had precisely shot Mason in the eye. He was truly fearsome. It seemed like they had really bitten off more than they could chew this time.Lisa trembled as the gunshots rattled her nerves. She held Quinn close and asked as she glanced at Xavier, "Who are those people, Quinny? Why do they have guns?"Xavier still had blood on his hands, making him appear quite frightening. However, when Lisa looked at him, he did his best to come across as a good person.However, his forced smile only served to deepen Lisa's fear.Yet, no matter how terrified she was, Lisa instinctively stepped in front of Quinn. Her motherly instincts were kicking in. She always felt an overwhelming u
"We should head back to the hotel room first," Quinn told Nadia."Alright."With that, Nadia and Quinn escorted Lisa to the hotel room while Xavier and Ian trailed behind them.Meanwhile, Aquila was tossed to Xavier's henchmen.Upon seeing that it was Aquila, they proceeded to give him a thorough beating. After all, Aquila had previously caused them a lot of trouble.It was like a scene out of a bad movie, as Aquila was tortured beyond recognition.All Aquila wanted was for his henchmen to rescue him. Upon his return, he was determined to make them pay dearly. How could they do this to him? He was the leader of Shadow Eagle Gang, and everyone in the borderlands held him in high regard!"Who are you guys? I'll give you anything you want if you just let me go."As soon as Xavier left, Aquila was back to his old tricks. He was loaded, so anything that could be solved with money was never an issue for him."I can give you guys a lot of money. You guys look like you could use it,"
At that moment, Araminta was in Maurice's office. No matter how things escalated, they needed to unite against Quinn."With the shareholders' meeting approaching, Quinn still hasn't responded to our requests. Could it be that…"Araminta was still very anxious. Even though Quinn had left Jipsfort, the fact that she had successfully finished the project could possibly sway the shareholders in Quinn's favor.Maurice wasn't clear about the situation either."She clearly cares deeply for Lisa. Could it be that she has already located Lisa?"Given her desperate dash to the borderlands, it was obvious that she went over for that sole reason.However, this time, he had enlisted the services of the most formidable Shadow Eagle Gang in the borderlands. It seemed inconceivable that Quinn, a young woman of limited means and influence, could possibly liberate Lisa from their grasp."Call Mason again."Araminta had to confirm that Lisa was still being held captive by Shadow Eagle Gang."I'v
None of the shareholders in attendance believed what Maurice said.Martha couldn't help but sneer. Maurice was indeed brazen enough to say something so shameless."Please be assured that our partnership with the Kane Group will continue as planned, regardless of Ms. Jowell's departure. I will be personally overseeing this project," Maurice said.It was clear that Four Seasons Incorporated wouldn't relinquish such a valuable opportunity.At that very moment, Luna entered the meeting room with her laptop in hand. Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her.Maurice scowled, feeling genuinely annoyed with Luna. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be in this predicament. What did she hope to achieve by showing up now?"We're currently holding a shareholders' meeting, Ms. Lewitt, and your attendance is unauthorized. What is wrong with the rest of you? How could you just let her barge in here? Aren't you aware that we're discussing confidential information today?"Maurice wanted
"As you all know, Mr. Jowell has been instrumental in our company's success over the past five years. Even though he had failed on this recent project, his abilities are indisputable. It would be unjust to disregard his five years of dedicated service based on this singular failure."Araminta was becoming increasingly agitated. It was clear to her that Maurice's position was in jeopardy if the assessment focused solely on these two projects."What's more, it's blatantly unfair that Ms. Jowell has hired external help for this project."Quinn actually brought Victor on board!Upon hearing that, Quinn couldn't help but laugh.As soon as they heard her laugh, everyone turned their gaze to the projector."Are you seriously discussing fairness with me right now? How many members does Mr. Jowell's project group consist of? All the top talents at Four Seasons Incorporated are working with him, while my project team has only eight people."And yet, I still managed to win the project. Isn
It was only then that Luna and Ryan could finally breathe a sigh of relief."Thank goodness! All our hard work paid off," Ryan exclaimed."In all seriousness, even rich people have their own set of problems."Such an incident would have been unthinkable in their family. His parents cared for him greatly and would always worry about his well-being.Quinn, on the other hand, was betrayed by the one person she should have been able to trust the most, her father. She must be devastated."Therefore, I'll stand by Ms. Jowell no matter what, and I'll make sure these despicable people pay for what they've done."With that, Luna grabbed her laptop and left the meeting room.In order to make it believable, Araminta called for an ambulance. Maurice was then loaded onto a stretcher and carried onto the ambulance.As soon as Maurice got into the ambulance, he sat up immediately. Even though he felt utterly humiliated, it was better than being taken down in the meeting room earlier. As long
