Chapter 246

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
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

    However, she couldn't turn her back on Araminta. If it weren't for her, she never could have lived the life she had. "Hold on for now. Don't worry about anything for the next few days and concentrate solely on preparing for the exam. Once you have gained admission to the research institute, Quinn will no longer be a threat to you. Also, since you have nowhere to stay, you can stay here for the moment," Shania offered.A call suddenly came in for Shania. Her secretary called to report that Xandor Group had hit another snag.Shania had been feeling irritated lately because things hadn't been going well at work and home.She rushed off after ending the call. She completely disregarded Kimberly's feelings."How could Quinn be so vindictive? It's all water under the bridge. How can she blame us for something that happened so long ago? She must have returned to Jipsfort to exact revenge on us."Simon remained silent."What's with that look on your face? Are you still hung up on her?"

    As a result, they went at it even more passionately this time around.Xavier was naturally passionate, but he had been holding back during their previous encounters to please her. However, at this moment, Quinn's initiative drove him to lose himself entirely.He had a firm grip on her waist, and she clung to him.With every thrust, he penetrated even further.…It was already nighttime when Quinn and Xavier made their way back to Windhaven Villa.Upon her return, Nadia noticed a hickey on Quinn's neck."Come with me for a moment, Quinny," Nadia said as she dragged her into the room."What's going on, Nads? Did something happen to my mother?"Nadia shook her head and said, "You've got a hickey on your neck. I'm worried that Lisa will misunderstand if she sees it."Upon hearing that, Quinn walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. As expected, the hickey on her neck was very noticeable.What a brute! Did he have to leave such a huge hickey?Nadia followed her in and as

    Lisa couldn't believe how she actually let Quinn handle everything alone for the past five years. She was truly a rather incompetent mother to her.Xavier and Quinn went into the living room to wait."Is this psychologist really trustworthy?"Xavier knew that she was behaving in such a way because she was feeling anxious. Therefore, he gently took her hand and reassured her by saying, "You have nothing to worry about! I can assure you that the psychologist is a real expert in this field."He always had her best interests at heart.Nadia chimed in, "Take it easy, Quinny. Everything's going to be okay. I believe Lisa will pull through.""Those past experiences were so painful, so I can't bear to see her go through them again. However, I know she longs for a normal life like everyone else! And I believe she can pull through it too!"Lisa was one of the most formidable women out there! Quinn truly hoped she could approach everything that had happened five years ago with a sense of p

    "What's all the yelling about? Do you think we're in a flea market?" Jacob, who had been running on fumes for days due to a case, snapped.Unfortunately, there were no developments in the case.As a result, Jacob couldn't help but wonder if those two had some vendetta against him to fight before him at this moment.Upon seeing Jacob, Araminta composed herself and said, "There's clearly been a misunderstanding, Officer Zimmerman. You—""As I said, we'll conduct an investigation to determine if there's been a mistake. Until then, I would appreciate it if you would remain quiet."He then turned to Kimberly and said, "Visiting hours are now over, Ms. Jowell. You'll have to go back now."With that, he walked into the meeting room."I've already arranged for someone to bring your grandparents over. You should take them to Quinn."Maurice had no other option but to place all his hopes in his aging parents. Despite his past failings, he was their only son, and they would still have to

    "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
