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

Nadia was reluctant to let them in. Despite their past kindness toward Quinn, she was unwilling to subject her to further distress."It's a matter between my grandparents and Quinn, Nadia! You have no right to interfere!" Kimberly snapped."If you really have what it takes, you should directly confront Quinny, Kimberly! What's the purpose of bringing two elderly folks in their 70s and 80s here? Do you even have any shame? Are you trying to make a spectacle out of them?" Nadia exclaimed. She was genuinely upset.Even though she was unable to raise her voice at the two elderly folks, she could still do so to Kimberly."It's none of your business, Nadia. You—""Shut it! I know what you're up to, Kimberly! You're just trying to use those two old folks to bully Quinny, right?"Nadia was utterly disgusted as they were using such an underhanded tactic."Nadia—" Before Winona could say anything, Matthew interrupted her."Come on, Winona. You should stop putting her in such a tough sp

"Alright, let's have a drink then!" Quinn agreed with a nod.After getting her approval, Xavier uncorked the bottle of red wine. It was common for people to turn to alcohol when they were feeling down.Quinn took the glass of wine, her gaze captured by the crimson liquid swirling within.It was a bottle of wine Xavier had procured at auction. It was worth as much as a car."You should try some of this wine. It packs quite a punch," Xavier suggested. She had been working really hard lately, and he felt it would be good for her to unwind for a while.Quinn tilted her head slightly and took a sip of the red wine.She probably didn't know how alluring she appeared at that moment. Her neck was a tempting sight to behold as she drank the wine, its delicate curve making her even more alluring. At the end of the day, Quinn's allure was undeniable. And Xavier, on the other hand, was never the type to behave gentlemanly. He immediately leaned toward her and gently kissed her neck.Qui

Quinn alighted from the car and approached Matthew and Winona."You're really back, Quinny!" Winona exclaimed. Her eyes were brimming with tears.Quinn merely nodded in response. She had never been very good at dealing with emotional situations.As Winona reached out to hug her, Quinn instinctively pulled away. She had become unaccustomed to such intimate gestures, especially from the Jowell family.Upon seeing her reaction, Winona couldn't help but cry and say, "Are you still mad at us, Quinny? There was nothing we could do about what happened five years ago. What could we have done when your mother behaved that way?"Nonetheless, you'll always be our beloved granddaughter. And now that you've finally returned, can't we just get along like a happy family? Why do we have to make things so complicated?"Why aren't you saying anything, Quinny? Are you refusing to acknowledge me as your grandmother?" Winona's apprehension intensified with each passing moment. They came here hoping

Before Xavier could even make a move, Quinn had already stepped forward and slapped Kimberly multiple times. Each slap was fierce and merciless.And soon enough, Kimberly's face swelled up like a balloon.Kimberly no longer cared about her appearance and lunged at Quinn.However, Kimberly stood no chance against Quinn. She easily overpowered her by capturing both her hands single-handedly."Are you brain dead? Your mother was clearly the mistress, and you're nothing but an illegitimate child. How could you possibly forget that? Well, let me refresh your memory," Quinn said. Then she proceeded to slap her several more times.Upon seeing Kimberly being beaten so badly, Matthew and Winona were heartbroken. They were their granddaughters after all, and it pained them deeply to see them engaged in such a violent confrontation."Please stop, Quinny," Winona exclaimed.She wanted to rush over and intervene, but Xavier stepped in and blocked her path before she could reach them."It's

There was no prior relationship between Quinn and Jacob."Noah referred me to you. He said you're the only one who can help me," Jacob explained.Quinn fell silent. She couldn't help but wonder what Noah's intention was for doing so."It's not appropriate to discuss this here. Can I invite you for a cup of coffee?" Jacob continued. There were too many people around. And with the case still ongoing, everything needed to remain confidential."As you can see, Officer Zimmerman, I'm quite swamped right now.""I could really use your help, Ms. Quinn."Jacob's plea was heartfelt. He wouldn't have come begging here if he had any other choice."We have an extremely ruthless murderer prowling here. If we don't apprehend him, I'm afraid there will be more innocent victims."Quinn pondered for a second, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's go. You said you'd treat me to coffee, right?""Of course, Ms. Quinn! Let's go."Quinn then glanced at Matthew and Winona and said, "As you can see,

As Quinn and Jacob sat together in the café, Xavier decided not to join them.After all, given the gravity of Jacob's serial killer case, he naturally couldn't sit with them.He ordered himself a cup of coffee and sipped on it as he dealt with his work.His henchmen had turned Aquila over to the police. After being on the run for so many years, Aquila was finally apprehended. At that moment, the entire social media landscape was filled with reports of this incident, and everyone was wondering who had actually turned Aquila over to the police. During the press conference, the police announced that Aquila had been brought back to Cryona and was in police custody. They also mentioned that they had no clue about who had brought Aquila back.Meanwhile, in the borderlands, other people had filled the positions previously held by Aquila and Mason. As for Mason, he managed to run away, and his fate remained unknown. At that moment, Xavier received a message from someone, stating, "It h

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
