Chapter 273

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
"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

    "Even so, Quinny wants to sleep with only you! You didn't see her sleeping around, did you?" Ian asked.Wasn't that special enough?"You're right," Xavier said. He suddenly found comfort in those words.He continued, "The exams for the research institute are about to start, Ian. You should return to Dudore and prepare for it."Ian replied, "I don't want to go back yet, Xav.""Why would you want to stay here?" Xavier wondered if something had caught his attention here.Ian's face was tinted red, yet he did not answer the question.Quinn and Nadia spent some time with Lisa in her room. They only came out when Lisa was about to nap."What happened to Xavier? Did you bully him again?" Nadia asked. She had noticed that something wasn't right with him during lunch earlier.Ian said, "Do I look like someone who'd bully others, Nads?"Nadia replied, "No, but he looked rather pitiful. As expected, any man, no matter who he is, turns out the same when he falls in love."The others wer

    Araminta had another property in Jipsfort, which was a gift from Maurice years ago. She had not lived there for a long time.Kimberly invited Simon up, yet he declined it under the guise that he was tired.She was beyond disappointed as she watched his retreating back. She was upset that he did not even think of comforting her even with everything happening to her family recently.Kimberly's eyes reddened with anger."Alright, don't get mad now. Where's your grandma? She's still here, right?" Araminta could only place her hope on Winona now."She's still here, but Quinn doesn't even show her grandparents any respect." Kimberly couldn't understand why they had been brought over when they were of no use at all. If anything, she even had to provide for their food and lodgings.Araminta said, "If going to Quinn doesn't work, we should just go to Lisa instead. Isn't she back now?"She knew that Lisa was a soft-hearted person all along. It would make a difference if Winona were to ple

    After learning about the situation, Quinn simply nodded. She didn't feel anything special."Do you need someone to handle this?" It was clear that reporters would only spread rumors, which could tarnish her reputation."No need to interfere. Let it continue to circulate." It was about time for everyone to be reminded of what happened five years ago and for Lisa to receive an apology.Quinn didn't want Lisa to know about this. Lisa was a kind woman who never wanted to hurt anyone.But Quinn was different. She wanted those who had harmed them to pay the price, regardless of who they were.However, Lisa found out anyway. She couldn't bear the thought of anyone tarnishing Quinn's name.To her, Quinn was the sweetest and best girl in the world. How could she let others slander her like this?Lisa went out to meet Winona.She actually hadn't been out much since returning. She wasn't fond of leaving the house.The sunlight outside was bright, which made it hard for her to open her ey

    "What's Maurice even worth? What makes you think I'm still hung up on him? Being blind once was enough. I'm not so pathetic as to be failed by the same man twice," Lisa said.Jillian continued snapping photos. In the frame, Lisa looked fierce and assertive, while Winona was on her knees, looking pitiful.The scene was a dramatic spectacle.Netizens would surely feel sympathy for an elderly woman begging on the ground."Forgiveness is a virtue, Lisa. Is it really necessary to go this far?""Are you done talking, Grandma?"Just then, Quinn and Xavier arrived. Quinn had been worried ever since Lisa decided to face Jillian alone.She was concerned that the stress might be too much for her, given that she hadn't fully recovered yet. But seeing Lisa's determined stance, Quinn felt more at ease."Quinny, no matter what, he's still your dad. Are you really going to push him to the brink?""Push him to the brink? I haven't pushed him. He tried to kill me and my mom and take over my mom

    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
