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
Noah was at a loss for words. "I've done my part and recommended her. It's your call whether you want to beg for her help!""I need to beg for her help?" Jacob asked incredulously. He had never lowered himself to beg anyone, especially not some young lady who hadn't even turned 20 years old."Well, I've always begged her when I needed her help. You need to keep that temper of yours in check when you ask for her help, Jacob."Noah cut the call short because he had other things to attend to.Jacob stared at the phone number Noah had texted him. He felt a bit hesitant. There was no way Noah would deceive him, right?Nevertheless, he couldn't help but wonder if Quinn could actually pull it off."We have received orders from the higher-ups that we only have three days to crack this case, Officer Zimmerman. If we fail to do so…" One of the subordinates trailed off, not daring to utter the rest of the superintendent's warning.Jacob frustratingly pulled at his hair. If this kept up, he
Matthew remained silent. He refused to believe Quinn was capable of such a thing. It was utterly impossible.Once in the car, the two elders fell into a deep silence. They had always loved living in the countryside and had never enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city. They hadn't even been to the city in years.Maurice would occasionally take Araminta and Kimberly to visit them. Nonetheless, Kimberly and Araminta were averse to the rural surroundings and would leave without even bothering to have a meal at their place.As Matthew and Winona made their way to Quinn, they couldn't help but reminisce about her as a child. She used to trail behind them, and she’d been unfazed by the dirt that clung to them. She would often accompany them to the fields to play and climb every tree in sight. She used to be so carefree back then.Had it not been for that incident five years ago, their family would have been living a happy and fulfilling life.Kimberly had already found out that Quinn
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
