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
"I'm sorry, but this is the only laptop we have in the café," Wanda said when she noticed the disdain in Jacob's gaze."Thanks," Jacob replied. He took the laptop from her and returned to the table."If this doesn't work, let's just head to the station," he said while eyeing the laptop dubiously.Quinn remained silent as she accepted the laptop. She then booted it up and plugged in the USB drive.Wanda's curiosity piqued. As soon as Quinn walked into the café, she was captivated by her stunning beauty. And standing beside her was Xavier, with his rugged and handsome appearance. They seemed like a perfect match made in heaven standing together."Please, go about your business. I'll return the laptop to you shortly," Jacob told Wanda.Quinn had already started working on fixing the corrupted video. Her focused expression only made her all the more appealing.Jacob found himself staring. He was captivated by the sight. Perhaps Quinn could really help him after all. At that moment,
