At the shareholders' meeting, they were set to elect the new president for Four Seasons Incorporated—even if Maurice was still locked up.And because of that, Kimberly decided to show up at the company. She wasn't sure about handling things alone, so she asked Simon to come along with her. She could handle research, but when it came to business, she was really out of her depth.Simon was equally out of his depth, so he was hesitant to join Kimberly. However, the prospect of seeing Quinn motivated him to tag along, thinking he could at least catch a glimpse of her.As such, the three of them ran into each other at the entrance of the meeting room.Quinn's outfit was nothing special—a white shirt and black pants. Yet, even in such ordinary clothes, she looked stunning. She was a living mannequin and capable of making any outfit look great.Simon's gaze was fixed on her. He was marveling at how much Quinn had transformed.Quinn simply brushed them aside. She felt that Kimberly and S
"You should vote freely based on your own judgment. Given Mr. Jowell's absence and my commitment to neutrality, I will refrain from campaigning. And let's be honest, you all know why Mr. Jowell's absent, right? There's no guarantee he'll even return," Quinn stated coldly.All the shareholders in the meeting room fell silent.A shareholder suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Jowell?" They were still unaware of the arrest of Maurice and Araminta.Upon hearing that, Kimberly was immediately thrown into a panic."Please answer our question, Ms. Kimberly. Where exactly did Mr. Jowell and Ms. Axtell go? Their absence from this important shareholders' meeting is completely unacceptable.""Come on, Ms. Kimberly! Please answer us!"Kimberly's eyes darted to Simon in alarm. She was worried that if these people learned the truth about Maurice and Araminta's arrest, they likely wouldn't vote for Maurice."If she's not going to say it, I will. They were both arrested, but what they did… well, th
Upon hearing what Quinn said, Kimberly felt a surge of anger. Why didn't Quinn die in the borderlands? If she had, there wouldn't be so many problems now!Kimberly got up and wanted to leave the meeting room. She really couldn't stand being there any longer. Above all, she needed to bail Araminta out. She was adept at researching, but the deceptions within the company were entirely beyond her grasp.Yet, even though she had already stood up to leave, Simon was rooted to his seat, and his eyes were still locked on Quinn.Kimberly scowled and asked, "What are you looking at, Simon?"Upon hearing Kimberly's voice, Simon finally rose from his seat.Quinn's gaze had never lingered on him. It was clear that she had never liked him before. If she had, she wouldn't have been so indifferent!After the room cleared out, Martha approached Quinn, extended her hand, and exclaimed, "Congratulations, Ms. Jowell! I knew you could do it! I have faith that Four Seasons Incorporated will prosper un
"We weren't implying that you were being vindictive, Ms. Jowell. We—" They had initially sided with Maurice back then. Yet now, they really wanted to remain at Four Seasons Incorporated.Quinn cut him off by saying, "As you all know, I'm taking over as president of Four Seasons Incorporated effective immediately. I know we've had some disagreements in the past, but I'm not one to hold a grudge. Therefore, I'm offering everyone the right to choose."If you wish to stay with Four Seasons Incorporated, you are more than welcome. If you prefer to leave, I won't hold you back either. You should just follow the company's standard departure procedures."Upon hearing this, a few of them quickly voiced their opinions."It was all a misunderstanding, Ms. Jowell. We hope you can be so kind as to forgive us. We promise to work harder from now on.""Yes, there was definitely a misunderstanding. We were tied up with other projects at the time and couldn't spare any resources."In fact, they
Given Xavier's exceptional appearance, he immediately caught everyone's attention as soon as he stepped into Four Seasons Incorporated.He approached the front desk and said, "I'm here to see Ms. Jowell." "Do you have an appointment with Ms. Jowell?" The receptionist noted his striking appearance and the bouquet of roses. She assumed he was one of Quinn's suitors."No, I don't have one.""I'm sorry, but Ms. Jowell is currently very busy and can't meet with anyone outside of appointments." No matter how attractive Xavier was, they couldn't make an exception for him.At that moment, Samuel showed up. He had previously hoped to accompany Quinn to the borderlands but couldn't because he lacked the necessary passport.Upon learning of her return, he quickly made his way over. And by coincidence, he was carrying a large bouquet of roses as well.As soon as he spotted Xavier, Samuel was somewhat taken aback.Xavier shot a glance at Samuel, then at the bouquet of flowers he was hold
As Samuel laid eyes on Quinn, he couldn't help but feel excited. It had been several days since he last saw her, and he had been anxious about her well-being.Meanwhile, Quinn was dumbfounded when she saw the bouquet of roses in their hands. She couldn't help but wonder what they were up to."Although I've heard about what happened to your mother, I'm sorry that I couldn't help back then. How's she doing right now?" Samuel asked as he handed the flowers to Quinn.Quinn took the flowers and replied, "Thanks for your concern, Mr. Kane. My mother has been found and is currently recuperating in Jipsfort.""I'll make it a point to visit your mother when my schedule permits, then.""My mother requires a period of rest at the moment, so there's no need to concern yourself with that. And besides, I've heard that you're currently occupied with a project."Samuel hummed in assent. He had been away from racing for quite some time now as he was currently learning the ropes in Kane Group. He
"I like younger guys. Happy now?" Quinn retorted. She was breathless from Xavier's actions. She couldn't stand his sexual perversion and decided to give him that answer instead."No," he replied, peeved.Xavier bit down on her lips and kissed her harshly. His hands slipped underneath her blouse.Quinn's soft moans only served to fuel his arousal. Her legs were pressed against his chest."My mom is waiting for me to go home for lunch, Xavier. Stop fooling around!" Her gaze was clouded by lust, yet she was able to calmly stop him.It always seemed to be like this—Xavier was the only one completely absorbed, while Quinn could pull away at any time.He leaned against her shoulder while catching his breath. After calming himself down, he then carried her down from the desk and helped to straighten her clothes."Let's go. I haven't eaten as well, so I might as well join you for lunch," Xavier said while showing no signs of hesitation.Both of them walked out of the president's office
The florist worked quickly and wrapped the flowers beautifully.Xavier stopped Quinn when she was about to pay for it. "This is my gift for Ms. Gatrell. Go get your own if you're thinking of getting her something."After making payment, he then carried the large bouquet of lilies and walked out with her.…As expected, Lisa was overjoyed when she saw the bouquet of lilies. She grabbed a pair of clippers and began arranging the flowers.As the heiress of the Gatrell family, she was skilled in everything from flower arranging to coffee brewing.Quinn stayed by her side."Do you like them, Mom? I'll send them to you daily if you do," she asked. She wanted to give Lisa everything she liked.Lisa replied, "I like it, Quinny. Thank you.""I knew Ms. Gatrell would like it." Xavier smiled and said, "It's my gift to you, Ms. Gatrell.""Thank you so much, Xav. You're always helping us out," Lisa said.She did not forget how he had taken off his bulletproof vest for her to wear back wh
