"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
The public outcry was immediate and intense.Just a short while ago, the netizens were apologizing to Quinn. But now, she was portrayed as a ruthless capitalist.It was truly shocking to see someone act so cold-heartedly toward an elderly person."Get out of Jipsfort, Quinn Jowell! We don't want someone so heartless here.""Bitch! I usually don't like to use harsh language, but today I can't hold back. That's her own grandmother! Even if the old lady did something wrong, she's still her grandmother! How could she treat her like that? Doesn't she have a conscience?""That's her mother next to her, right? The woman who betrayed her husband five years ago. Seeing her like this now is so satisfying! To all the cheating women out there, take note! Karma will always get you.""Why talk so much? Is there anyone out there who wants to teach this bitch a lesson? If so, count me in.""Are you serious? Are you really going to teach her a lesson? Alright, let's all wait and see. Hopefully,
Seeing Xavier come out alone, Ian felt sympathy for him."Xav, this is what it's like when you fall for a strong woman. She seems to handle everything on her own. I guess you're not used to it."Xavier actually hoped that Quinn might depend on him. But Quinn had always treated their relationship as a fleeting romance. She never took it seriously."I get it. Shut up."Nadia shook her head at the scene. "Give Quinny some time, Xavier. She just doesn't believe in love right now. But trust me, her feelings for you are different."Even when Quinn was dating Simon, they had never been as close as Quinn and Xavier were."I know.""Hang in there. I'm rooting for you."Lisa knew this scandal would make waves. She wanted to go online, but Quinn wouldn't give her the phone."You don't need to worry about anything, Mom. Just focus on resting and leave the rest to me." Quinn leaned on Lisa's shoulder."I'm feeling much better now, Quinny. I can face the past." She accepted the fact that s
