"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
"You better go find someone else for this job! We won't be able to help you with this." Given what happened to Aquila and Mason, they definitely couldn't get involved in this matter.With that, they immediately hung up the phone. They had no desire to be involved with the Jowell family in any way."All the other gang members aren't answering my calls. What on earth is going on? What's happening in the borderlands?"Not knowing anything was what made the situation all the more terrifying."We'll have to hire a professional assassin then. I've heard about a mysterious assassin organization abroad. You should find a way to reach out to them."They were more than willing to pay any price to have Quinn killed.Maurice leveraged his extensive network to connect with the assassin organization and managed to recruit a top-tier assassin.…Upon returning from her video conference, Quinn found that Nadia had successfully lulled Lisa to sleep."Is everything taken care of?" Nadia asked w
Upon waking up to an empty bed, Quinn quickly sat up from the bed. She looked around the room, her heart sinking as she realized Lisa wasn't around.She got up to look for her, only to find Lisa and Xavier sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.As soon as she saw Quinny was up, Lisa called out, "Come quick, Quinny! You've got to try this breakfast Xav got us. It's delicious!"Lisa had always been wary of strangers, so it was strange to hear her call Xavier by his nickname, especially considering it was their first meeting."Come have breakfast with us. You've been neglecting your meals these past two days," Xavier said with a grin.Quinn walked over as Xavier stood up and pulled out her chair. She took a seat right across from him.Upon seeing how much Lisa was enjoying her breakfast, Quinn decided to eat a little too. Before long, Nadia and Ian joined them, and they all ate breakfast together.Nadia had slept in. Upon leaving her room, she saw Ian waiting for her outside
When he noticed her concern, Xavier gently took Quinn's hand and said, "Didn't I mention before that I know a really capable psychologist? If you're willing, I can ask him to wait for us in Jipsfort, and we can arrange a meeting with him and your mother. I assure you, he's highly skilled. Please trust me on this, okay?"Quinn withdrew her hand and nodded. She said, "Alright. Thank you, Xavier."After receiving her approval, Xavier immediately called the other party and asked them to meet up in Jipsfort."Why don't you and Lisa stay at my place when we get back to Jipsfort?" Nadia asked.Quinn had been living with the Jowell family, but now that Araminta was there as well, it wouldn't be appropriate for Lisa to return to that place."Come on over and stay with me instead!" Xavier had already instructed someone to tidy up the villa."I've already purchased a villa, so my mom and I will stay there instead. You guys don't have to worry about us," Quinn explained. She couldn't possibl
