"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

Simon nodded."Fine. You'll never listen to whatever I say anyway. You've always been stubborn. If it weren't for that, how could Dad have left?""Simon Xandor!"Shania was infuriated. Baxter's departure had always been a sore spot for her. She had never wanted to bring it up, but now, Simon was making such a remark."I'm being serious, Mom. You need to change your temper. If things keep going like this, I'm afraid our family won't last. Alright, I have an experiment to conduct. I won't be home tonight."With that, Simon turned and walked out.Shania's anger only grew."Go on. Just leave! You all act like you can't stand being at home, as if there are ghosts here! Your dad was like this, and now you are too. What spell did Lisa and Quinn cast on you?"Why did everyone have to hurt her so much for the sake of Lisa and Quinn? Hadn't she already sacrificed enough?Just then, Baxter, who had been missing for five years, returned.Upon arriving, he saw Shania in this state.Shani

However, Quinn wouldn't let Baxter see Lisa.As Quinn left the café, she ran into Jacob, who was pleasantly surprised to see her. "Ms. Jowell, are you here having coffee with friends?"Quinn shook her head."I see. I still owe you a meal for the help you gave me last time. Since it's lunchtime, would you honor me with a meal?""Sorry, I have other matters to attend to.""Then we'll have to do it another time."Jacob genuinely admired Quinn and hoped she would join the Criminal Investigation Department. Even if she couldn't officially join, being a consultant and helping out when needed would be beneficial.With her around, solving cases would be a breeze.After leaving the café, Quinn took a cab. Just as she got in, Luna's call came through."Do you have time now, Ms. Jowell? Because of the situation online, the shareholders have been calling non-stop, and some have even come to the company directly. Can you…?"Luna fully trusted Quinn, but her belief alone wasn't enough. If

Quinn said, "I think you should just sell it to me directly.""Are you sure?" one of the shareholders asked."Yeah.""Well, I'm not selling to you."Quinn found the situation amusing.Shania still hadn't learned her lesson and was trying to take over Four Seasons Incorporated. She was just too greedy."Then let's see if Xandor Group has the spare cash to buy the stocks you're holding," Quinn said indifferently.The shareholders didn't bother to pay Quinn any attention.Xandor Group had been frequently in the news recently, but regardless, their strength was top-notch. They definitely had the funds to back up their claims.The shareholders left without another word."Anyone else? If you want to sell your stocks, you can either sell to me or choose to sell to Xandor Group. However, as I said before, Xandor Group may not necessarily have the cash for you."The remaining shareholders looked at each other. They were unsure of what to decide. Quinn seemed incredibly confident. May

Archie still felt uneasy."To be honest, we're in the middle of a major deal with Patterson Group, so funds are a bit tight right now. But don't worry. This amount is nothing we can't handle. When the time is right, I can introduce you to the Pattersons," Shania said enticingly.Archie's interest was piqued. If he could secure a partnership with the Pattersons, it would be like winning the lottery. Who wouldn't want that?"Alright then, I'll give you one week, Ms. Xandor."Meanwhile, Shania's aggressive purchase of Four Seasons Incorporated stocks was stirring up discontent among the shareholders within Xandor Group.Many of them felt she was betting too much on a risky venture, especially given Quinn's formidable skills. It was clear that Shania had locked horns with her.A few shareholders voiced their concerns, but Shania flew into a rage. "Xandor Group belongs to the Xandor family! I make the decisions here, not you!"No matter what the others said, Shania was determined. Sh

It wasn't until now that Shania realized she had been played."Mrs. Xandor, your only way out now is to sell the Four Seasons Incorporated stocks. But with the amount you hold, I doubt you'll find a buyer with enough cash any time soon," Quinn said smoothly.Shania was frustrated, but she couldn't show it. "Just you wait. I'll get Four Seasons Incorporated, no matter what.""Bold words. Then let's see who takes down who first." With that, Quinn ended the call.Tomorrow, when the market opened, she was determined to push Xandor Group to rock bottom. Only then would Shania truly be cornered on all fronts.Xavier had been beside Quinn the whole time. He observed how she maneuvered through the situation.As she hung up the phone, he walked over and clinked his glass against hers. "Well done."Her plan had been executed flawlessly. Even Xavier had to admit it was brilliant. Step by step, Quinn had outwitted Shania, who was clearly no match for her.Quinn leaned back against the couc

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
