As Shania recalled the evidence Darius had given her, she regained her composure. It was only a matter of time before Quinn would kneel in front of her and beg for mercy.Simon could no longer stand idly by as Shania became increasingly consumed by her feud with Quinn. "Please stop fighting with Quinn, Mom. If this keeps up, it will only result in mutual destruction—it's not worth it."Didn't she learn anything from this incident? Quinn wasn't someone they could afford to provoke anymore."Are you still hung up on her, Simon? What has she done to you? Bewitched you?" Shania asked. She was acting completely unreasonable.Simon shook his head in frustration and said, "If you refuse to heed my advice, then I'm done talking. You're on your own."After Quinn blocked his number, he realized that there was no longer any hope for him and Quinn. Moreover, Xavier had also hired a bunch of online trolls. They outnumbered the trolls hired by Xandor Group. As a result of those coordinated on
"I'm really sorry, Quinny. I messed up, and I honestly know it now," Maurice pleaded. He had never been so scared in his life. He was honestly terrified of dying."I would never hurt you, Quinny. I was just trying to scare you. I swear I never meant to harm you. It was all Araminta's idea; I had nothing to do with it. I know I've made a mistake, Quinny," Maurice said as he dropped to his knees.Araminta was caught off guard by Maurice's confession.She was absolutely livid as she snapped, "Why, you!"At that moment, Quinn's gun was already aimed at her."I..." Araminta stammered, and her fear grew. Quinn was a total lunatic, so there was no point in trying to reason with her."How exactly did you set up my mother five years ago?" Quinn asked coldly.Araminta was momentarily dumbfounded."You may have fooled others, but do you really think I wouldn't know what you guys did to drive my mother to the edge? I'm giving you one last chance to tell me the truth."Araminta turned her
Yet, faced with Quinn's cold, menacing demeanor, Araminta had no choice but to give in. "Fine, I'll tell you everything."Quinn sat down, with her phone set up beside her.Before long, Araminta began to recount the unpleasant events that transpired five years ago. Quinn's face remained expressionless throughout.As soon as Araminta was done recounting the events, an eerie silence enveloped the living room."It's your turn now," Quinn said coldly. As she listened to the recounting of the past, she felt a pang of heartache for Lisa, who had been driven to insanity by this treacherous couple.Given the circumstances, Maurice had no choice but to come clean. He told her everything. "Quinny, I know I’ve made mistakes, but please forgive me. I'm your father," Maurice pleaded as he kneeled before her."Why don't we put all this behind us? We can bring Lisa home and start over as a family. What do you think?"Upon hearing that ludicrous suggestion, Quinn nearly burst out laughi
Upon hearing that, Araminta couldn't help but scoff. It seemed that Maurice was worried that she would confront Kara.Kimberly's patience was wearing thin. There were plenty of mosquitoes around them, and they were biting her non-stop."Can you guys just cut it out already? I have an exam coming up soon, so could you just let me focus on that?" Kimberly asked. She was clearly exasperated by the situation. Why did it seem like there was always something going wrong?Araminta reassuringly patted her hand and said, "You should just focus on getting ready for your exam, Kimberly. You don't have to concern yourself with these trivial matters."As soon as Kimberly passed her exam, she would be considered a national asset. Quinn wouldn't be able to bully her then! After all, at that moment, the government would definitely assign someone to protect Kimberly.Maurice genuinely hoped that Kimberly would excel in her exam. "You should prepare well for the exam and not worry about anything
"It's alright. You can show them in." Xavier didn't give this matter a second thought, and Edgar didn't seem to care either.Quinn, on the other hand, had a playful glint in her eyes as she kept fiddling with the gun in her hand.Xavier walked over and took the gun from her hand. He said, "Give it to me."Quinn remained silent. She kept her thoughts to herself. She couldn't help but think that Xavier was quite a character.Before long, Jacob arrived with a large group in tow."Who's the one you accused of concealing a firearm, Mr. Jowell?" Jacob asked as he walked in."It's her, Quinn Jowell," Maurice muttered. He did not dare to meet her gaze. Yet, even if she had become more frightening than he could have imagined, he would never relinquish control of Four Seasons Incorporated."Are you sure about that? You must be seeing things in your old age!" Quinn exclaimed as she lounged on the couch."Why, you!" Maurice truly felt the urge to hit her. She was his child, after all. Ho
Despite an exhaustive search, Maurice still couldn't locate the gun.He was certain that the gun was aimed at him earlier. It couldn't have been a hallucination.A sardonic smile crossed Xavier's face as he said, "Are you seeing things, Mr. Jowell? You've turned this place upside down, and now you're pinning this on me?""Yes, I'm absolutely certain it's on you. Please give me another chance, Officer Zimmerman. I won't be wrong this time, I swear."Jacob's gaze fell on Xavier, a man who clearly wasn't to be trifled with. He was completely in the dark about Xavier's background, but if there was a gun involved, he would have to do his duty."Excuse me, sir, we're merely doing our job, and we would appreciate your cooperation.""Of course, I'll cooperate. I absolutely love working with the police," Xavier said as he stood up. He demonstrated that he was open to them searching him.Jacob personally carried out the search but came up empty-handed."Impossible! How could this be? It'
Maurice continued, "Please give me another chance, Quinny. I promise I'll look after your mother."Upon hearing that, Quinn almost burst out laughing. "Mom never wants to lay eyes on you again, Maurice. You're finally reaping what you've sown!"Maurice disregarded the crowd around him and dropped to his knees. He pleaded, "I'm begging you, Quinny! I can't go to prison. You can't do this to me! Are you trying to kill me? I'm your father, for goodness' sake! How can you do this to me?" Jacob couldn't stand it any longer. Did he even consider Quinn as her daughter when he hired a hit on her?"Hurry up and take him away," Jacob demanded. His patience was wearing thin."Please come with us as well, Mrs. Jowell. We need to look into this matter further."Jacob instructed someone to take them away. Maurice was throwing a tantrum, while Araminta remained composed throughout. After all, she knew that everything was initiated by Maurice and had nothing to do with her.With everyone else
They both collapsed onto Quinn's bed.Her bed was adorned with a mint green bedsheet. She had replaced it with a new one after she came back to Jipsfort. Everything in her room had been replaced as well.She proactively undressed him on her own. She was feeling a bit different now that she was in her own room.Xavier grabbed her hand and said, "I'm going to take a quick shower."After saying that, he dashed off to the bathroom for a shower.Before long, Xavier came out of the bathroom and pinned her beneath him."Fuck me." Quinn was exceptionally bold today.Despite having just showered, Xavier still had an erection. "Alright, I'll give you what you want."With that, he forcefully penetrated her.Quinn planned to give in to her desires today.It only took one look from her for Xavier to understand what she wanted. As a result, he repeatedly brought her to a climax.Xavier was focused on serving Quinn today. His goal was to attend to her needs and ensure her comfort.…When
Whoever said women lack desire was wrong. Sometimes, a woman's longing could catch the man off guard.Faced with Quinn's boldness, Xavier found it impossible to resist. His desire for her was burning within him.Since being with her, he'd wanted her constantly, and tonight was no exception.Quinn tilted her head, and Xavier landed a peck on her neck, one of her most alluring features.His kiss felt like a gentle spring breeze as he began softly at her lips.That light touch flipped a switch within her. It sent electric tingles racing through her body. It was as if he wielded some mysterious power. As he glided his lips down her neck, each caress sent shivers coursing through her, making her tremble involuntarily.With each kiss moving lower, her heartbeat quickened. She felt as though she were immersed in a sweet dream, and his kisses were the leading melody of this ethereal experience.From her lips to her neck and then to her chest, each kiss ignited a flame deep within her. She cou
"I can't go to the hospital. I messed with the wrong people," Edison murmured. He remembered Quinn's warning. She was connected to Xavier, and he wouldn't dare provoke him."Who did you mess with?" Frank asked, but Edison brushed him off. "How's it going with the research institute?"At the mention of it, Frank hesitated. Was Quinn really that influential? Could Edison's beating be connected to her?"It's... fine. You should rest, Dad. I have to go study," Frank replied. He dared not mention how Quinn had twisted his arm.Meanwhile, Xavier and Quinn escorted Edgar back to the hospital.Edgar clearly didn't want to stay. "Ms. Quinn, I'd really like to go home. I don't like staying in the hospital." His days in the hospital felt like years dragging by—an experience that was anything but pleasant."Did the doctor say you could go home?" Quinn asked."I'm really fine, Ms. Quinn.""Only when the doctor says so." Quinn ignored his complaints."It's suffocating in here. I need to che
Edison's plump body crashed to the floor with a heavy thud.Quinn stepped on his hand, eliciting a pained scream from him.Edison stared up at her, bewildered. This young lady, who looked like an angel, was surprisingly brutal."Do you know what Edgar looked like when I found him?" Quinn's voice was icy.Edgar was like a younger brother to her, and she wouldn't stand for anyone hurting him.Edison fell silent after realizing he had underestimated her."How do you plan to pay for this, Edison?" Quinn picked up a fork from the table.Edison tried to get up, but with her foot on his hand, he couldn't move at all. "What are you doing? Let me tell you—"Before he could finish his sentence, Quinn drove the fork through his palm. His screams echoed in the room.Edison had never imagined they would dare to act so brazenly in Dudore. As he looked at his bleeding hand, his entire body trembled in fear. "W-What do you want?"The two bodyguards looked pale at the sight. They had never en
Since they were going to take revenge, Quinn had already ensured they knew the Faulkner family's whereabouts.The current head of the Faulkner family, Edison Faulkner, was responsible for what happened to Edgar. He was also Frank's father.Edison had a dinner engagement that night at a high-end clubhouse in Dudore.Though once a prestigious family, the Faulkner family had been struggling in recent years, but Edison was unwilling to accept that decline.He was determined to send Frank to the research institute, hoping that would restore the family's status. Tonight's dinner was meant to entertain higher-ups from the institute.As the glasses clinked and laughter filled the air, the door to the private room swung open unexpectedly.Edison frowned. Who was the blind fool who chose to enter at this hour? He already had people guarding the door."Who is it? I specifically said no one is allowed to enter!" Edison snapped.The higher-ups from the institute also wore grim expressions.
"Kid, you should just go face your punishment," Quinn said, declining."Come on, miss. Help me out here!" the young man pleaded."I can't help you. You can go now."The young man looked disappointed, but since Quinn had clearly rejected him, he had no choice but to leave."That poor guy," Nadia joked.Xavier, however, didn't share her sentiment. "I think Quinny handled it well. If she gave just anyone her number, she'd be in trouble someday."Besides, it wasn't like their game had anything to do with her. Why should she comply?They sat in the bar for over an hour.Quinn had something to attend to, so she took Nadia home first."Where are you going? Do you need my help?" Nadia asked. Although she wasn't good at fighting, she was willing to lend a hand."Just get some rest. It's nothing major. I'll handle it and be back before you know it," Quinn replied."Are you sure you'll be back tonight?" Nadia glanced at Xavier. She knew he couldn't leave her alone."Go home. Just make
"Nada, this fish is delicious. You should try it," Quinn said, passing the dish over.Nadia took a piece and nodded in approval. "This place really has great flavor. We should come here again."With both of them being people who didn't particularly enjoy cooking, they would probably end up eating out frequently."If you like it, I can have them deliver to your house. I'll get the manager to give you a business card later," Xavier offered.This restaurant didn't just have excellent food. The hygiene and service were top-notch as well."Really? I thought such a high-end restaurant wouldn't do deliveries.""They do," Xavier said. It was just a matter of asking anyway.After dinner, Nadia wanted to unwind a bit. Since arriving in Dudore, she hadn't had the chance to visit a bar, and Dudore was known for its nightlife.Now that she was here, she naturally had to experience it for herself."Quinny, are you heading back to the research institute tonight? If not, let's go to a bar for
Lisa's tone was especially gentle. After nearly three months of treatment, her condition had improved significantly.Gradually, she was becoming the serene Lisa she once was.Once the call ended, Quinn gazed out the window, oblivious to the fact that Xavier was still holding her hand.Xavier was holding her hand with one hand and gripping the steering wheel with the other. It wasn't until they reached the restaurant that he finally let go.He dropped Quinn and Nadia at the restaurant entrance while he went to find parking. The parking area was quite far, so he didn't ask them to come along.As he drove off, Quinn and Nadia waited at the entrance."Quinny, it's great to see Lisa coming back to herself," Nadia said with a smile.Although the past five years had been challenging, it was comforting to see everything getting better.Quinn felt a wave of joy as she reflected on Lisa's remarkable recovery. Given how bad Lisa had been before, it brought her immense happiness to see her
Nadia opened the car door and hopped in.Quinn wanted to join her at the back, but she declined. "Just sit in the front. It's a hassle switching around."Xavier smiled at this. Nadia, indeed, knew how to read the situation.She returned his smile.Xavier was a big shot, after all. Of course, she had to be wise."How's the hiring going? Do you need my help?" Quinn turned to Nadia."Don't worry. I've already hired three people. Since Sully is just starting out, I want to take it slow. I don't want to hire too many at once.""Alright, I'll leave it to you, then." Quinn was just the investor. She wouldn't interfere too much with how Nadia chose to run things."By the way, Quinny, how's everything at the research institute? You need to be cautious around those who hurt Edgar," Nadia said with a hint of worry."I know. Don't worry. There's no need to be concerned about them."Nadia shook her head. "Quinny, this is Dudore. You should be careful." People here would do anything for pr
Kimberly was also present. Noticing Simon's concern for Quinn made her fists clench unconsciously.She had her own plans to go out today. Gregory was going to introduce her to a big shot. He was slowly coming to recognize her potential and would provide her with all his resources."Simon, you know I'm not Maurice's daughter. I'm Gregory's daughter. Gregory Thorpe from the Thorpe family of Dudore. You're aware of that, right?" Kimberly spoke with pride.Simon looked into her eyes. "So what?""My dad is introducing me to a big shot today. Do you want to come? If you agree to get back with me now, I'll overlook everything that happened before.""No, thanks. I really don't need that. You go ahead," Simon replied firmly.In the past, it had always been Shania pushing him. Yet deep down, he wanted to stand on his own. It might seem naive, but he wanted to give it a try.Seeing him try to walk away, Kimberly grabbed his hand. "Simon, don't you want to get your mom out soon?"Why was h
