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
Upon hearing that, Nadia's eyes suddenly welled up with tears."He's busy at the moment."They were currently on the plane, so Quinn decided to avoid bringing up those painful topics. She didn't want to upset Lisa further, especially without a doctor nearby."Oh, okay," Lisa replied, sounding disappointed.After spending some time with them, Lisa went back to sleep. She was too exhausted these last two days, and her body hadn't fully recovered yet.Nadia reached out and took Quinn's hand while hoping to provide some solace."I'm fine, Nads. You don't have to worry about me."She decided to tell Lisa everything after getting off the plane and returning home. Perhaps confronting the truth head-on was the only way to truly move forward."You should get some sleep too," Xavier said to Quinn."You should definitely get some rest, Quinny." After all, they would be swamped with work once they return to Jipsfort.At that moment, Ian sought out Xavier with a troubled expression."Wha
Maurice hurled his phone at the coffee table in a fit of rage, causing the screen to crack upon impact. Upon seeing this, Araminta instantly knew that something was amiss. "What's wrong?""I can't get in touch with the assassins."Araminta was rendered speechless and a shiver involuntarily ran down her spine. Quinn was simply too terrifying! What in the world was going on here?She was merely a young lady. What kind of backing did she have that Shadow Eagle Gang and the assassin organization were powerless against her? If she were to return to Jipsfort, wouldn't it mean their demise?"What's going on with Quinn, Maurice? How can she be so formidable?" If Quinn returned safely, would she even spare them? Maurice shook his head in response. He was as much in the dark as her. If he had known, he wouldn't have felt so helpless. "What are we supposed to do now? I have no ideas left." He was frightened as well. After all, they were after Quinn's life. If she came back, there was
