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
Only after using up his last bit of strength did Xavier finally hold Quinn and drift off to sleep.The next morning, Quinn felt as if her back was about to break.Xavier gently massaged her back. "Was I too rough?"Quinn didn't respond.Once he was in bed, he seemed to throw caution to the wind. Well, that was normal for a man like him.Whatever he did, he did his best. Quinn couldn't find anything to complain about in bed."Are you angry? Don't be. I'll go easier next time," he said, though he often found it hard to control himself once he got caught up in the moment.Quinn rolled her eyes at him. She wasn't going to fall for his sweet talk. If she did, it would be quite foolish.As Xavier continued to massage her, he started getting aroused again. Though she didn't do anything, he just couldn't help himself around her. She was simply too tempting.He kissed her on the lips, and their kisses became more heated.Just as things were about to escalate, Quinn pushed him away and
Ian suddenly felt his heart racing. He placed his hand over his chest while trying to calm himself.At that moment, Nadia released his arm."Let's go. Lisa is making breakfast. I'll go help her." Although Nadia didn't like cooking, she could manage helping out.Looking at the spot where she had grabbed him, Ian felt a bit awkward.Xavier watched them leave. Then he went back to his room to shower and change, though he had already showered the night before. However, his lingering desire needed to be treated with a cold shower.Quinn and Xavier came out of their rooms about the same time.Quinn was dressed casually in a black tracksuit with her long hair loose. Her natural beauty shone through without any makeup. Such was the charm of a top beauty.Xavier's hair was still wet. He wore a black shirt with only the bottom two buttons fastened. His sexy chest was exposed.Quinn frowned at the sight.Lisa was around. Was this outfit appropriate?She walked up to him and fastened his
"Quinny, I can't stay home forever. And I just want to visit and see how things are. Don't worry. I can control myself," Lisa said."Alright, I'll go with you," Quinn agreed. It was only natural for Lisa to want to see the fruits of her labor.Lisa's eyes turned red.She truly wanted to live like a normal person. She was tired of the current situation.Lisa prepared a simple breakfast, but Quinn enjoyed it immensely. She missed Lisa's cooking.For the first time in five years, Quinn had a chance to eat Lisa's breakfast again.Seeing Quinn's eyes mist up, Nadia couldn't help but shed tears. Quinn had endured so much."Thank you, Mom. This is the best breakfast I've had in the past five years.""I'll make it for you again in the future."Lisa was the heiress of the Gatrell family, but she had taken cooking lessons to please Maurice. She had hoped to win him over. Yet, it ended in such a way. How could she not resent him?She really wanted to confront Maurice and ask him why he
"Will this really work? Won't it just provoke them more?" Winona was confused by all this chaos. She only wanted to save Maurice.Araminta was growing impatient. "Today is the best opportunity. If we miss it, we'll never get another chance. Think about it.""But Araminta, I..."Didn't everyone say Lisa had gone mad? Winona was hesitant to face someone a lunatic. Last time, Lisa hadn't given her any respect at all."I've done everything I can. If you don't want to care about Maurice anymore, then I'll leave Jipsfort with Kimberly. I no longer want to be involved with your family affairs.""Fine, I'll go. Don't be angry. I'll go now."Winona went straight to the top floor of Four Seasons Incorporated. Araminta had suggested she jump.But once there, Winona's legs started shaking uncontrollably. It was too high for her; she had a fear of heights.Soon, someone on the top floor spotted Winona, and Araminta had contacted a bunch of reporters.Upon hearing about this, Luna rushed to
But Araminta and Winona shouldn't think about harming Lisa or Quinn.Jacob arrived with negotiation experts and dozens of police officers. Seeing the scale of the situation, Winona became even more anxious.She had only wanted to threaten Quinn, but things had escalated to this extent.Before going to the top floor, Jacob met with Quinn first. When he arrived, Quinn greeted him with a nod."Don't worry, Ms. Jowell. Leave this to me. I'll get her down safely.""Thank you, Officer Zimmerman.""There's no need to be so formal."Quinn was truly capable. He might need her help in the future, so it was best to establish a good relationship now.Jacob and the negotiation experts headed upstairs. Seeing the police, Winona became even more frantic."Don't come any closer! I want to see Quinn and Lisa. I only need them. The rest of you, stay away."Why were the police here? Had she done something wrong? Were they here to arrest her?"Don't be nervous, Mrs. Jowell Senior. We're here to
