Callum definitely wanted to capture the first-hand footage, but Jacob seemed a bit intimidating. He decided it was better to stay back and ignore the chat messages urging him to go forward."I'm afraid you'll need to come with us, Mrs. Jowell," Jacob said in an indifferent tone.Araminta, who was fresh out of the detention center, definitely did not want to go back in."This is really just a misunderstanding, Officer Zimmerman. Winona only has one son, and she just wanted to get him out. She's old. Please don't hold it against her."She shot Winona a look and hoped she'd stay quiet. But Winona felt completely wronged. Wasn't Araminta the one who pushed her into this? Now everything was being blamed on her!"Enough. There are too many reporters here. You don't want to make this more embarrassing. Save your explanations for the station," Jacob said curtly.Just then, Quinn appeared. As soon as the reporters saw her, they rushed forward."Ms. Jowell, what's your response to today's
"As a police officer, I can assure everyone that no matter who it is, if they've broken the law, they will be held accountable. No one, no matter how wealthy, is above the law. Our judicial system will not allow such things to happen," Jacob stated firmly.The crowd applauded spontaneously after hearing Quinn's and Jacob's statements.Winona and Araminta were taken away by the police, leaving a group of reporters staring at each other in confusion.So… what was going to happen now?Araminta had arranged for them to come and promised payment, but now that she was being arrested, who were they supposed to get the money from?Meanwhile, Xavier had already driven out and parked his car on the side.Lisa remained inside the vehicle. She didn't want to face the reporters. The memory of those reporters barging in to "catch her in the act" five years ago still haunted her.Some reporters had no limits. As long as they were paid, they'd ask any question.The incessant flashing lights ha
Quinn didn't know what to say to Matthew, so she stayed silent.The best outcome was for him to take Winona away. Everything here was not their concern anyway.Matthew ended the call. Then he went to the police station with Kimberly."Are you really not going to do anything, Grandpa?" Kimberly asked incredulously. Was he really going to leave?"There's nothing we can do. Your grandma is old, but your mom put her in such a dangerous situation. What if something really went wrong?"Both Araminta and Kimberly always looked out for themselves and never considered Matthew and Winona.That was the rooftop! Seeing the video had made Matthew's legs go weak.Kimberly wanted to argue, but in the end, she said nothing. There was no point in arguing.Matthew had never been particularly fond of Araminta. In his eyes, Lisa would always be better than her.When they arrived at the police station, Winona looked disheveled.This situation was too embarrassing for someone her age. She worried
"Do you think Simon will handle this for you?" Araminta asked.Kimberly remained silent. She feared Simon might look down on her, for he had always been quite proud."Alright, get me out of here first, and then deal with these issues."Kimberly managed to secure Araminta's release. When Araminta finally came out, Matthew chose not to leave."We won't be going back with you. You can go on your own."Araminta stopped in her tracks. "What do you mean by that, Matthew?""I mean that we're not going to care about what's going on here. We're old and can't handle it. I'm taking Winona home."No matter who it was, those who made mistakes had to face consequences. Quinn was right. No one was above the law. There was nothing they could do here."Fine, if you don't care about your own son, there's nothing I can do." Araminta was furious. Nothing had gone smoothly for days."Are you sure you want to go back, Winona? You're really abandoning Maurice?" Araminta knew women were often soft-he
Simon called Kimberly, but the phone just went unanswered.He was about to search for her. After all, she was his fiancée, and he couldn't ignore this issue.However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find her. His frustration grew.After days of sleepless nights, Simon was exhausted and decided to get a coffee.In the café, he saw Kimberly, who was embracing another man. Simon recognized him as Luke, Kimberly's senior.Even if it was her senior, such an embrace was inappropriate."Kimberly, are you really…"Kimberly was trying to persuade Luke to help with the photos. Just as she wanted to answer Luke, she noticed Simon.She was stunned. Wasn't Simon supposed to be at the research institute? What was he doing here?"Kimberly?" Luke asked, but Kimberly quickly pushed him away."I'm sorry, Luke, I have something to do."Seeing Simon turn to leave, Kimberly panicked and chased after him.On the street, she managed to catch up and grasp his arm tightly. She was unwillin
Luna knew how much hope Quinn placed in her, and she didn't want to disappoint her.Meanwhile, Simon never expected to really see Quinn outside of Four Seasons Incorporated.She was wearing a baseball cap and didn't bother with an umbrella under the scorching sun.She wore black pants that covered her shoes, a black tank top, and a black sun jacket. Her entire outfit was dark.But even so, Quinn still turned heads. Her figure was too striking, and even in this casual attire, she was captivating.Simon pulled his car up beside her. "Where are you headed? Let me give you a ride." He was desperate for a few words with her.Simon was well aware of Xandor Group's current situation. Quinn was determined to destroy everything they stood for. She truly hated them.Quinn gave him a sideways glance and wondered if this man ever got a clue."I mean no harm, Quinny. Ever since you came back, I've been wanting to talk to you properly, but I never get the chance.""What is there to talk abo
The Cullinan roared off, leaving Simon in a cloud of exhaust fumes.His frustration was palpable. He wanted to vent, but in the end, he could only kick his own car in anger.Kimberly had been calling him incessantly, so he blocked her number. He felt there was nothing left to discuss.…Inside the Cullinan, the atmosphere was tense. Although Xavier was clearly in a bad mood, he kept his temper in check around Quinn.He knew Simon must be regretting his past actions, but Xavier also understood that Quinn wasn't the type to go back to her exes. Nonetheless, Simon's persistence irritated him.Xavier parked the car by the roadside and took out a cigarette. He tapped it out of the pack and put it between his lips.Quinn took out a lighter and bent down to light it for him. She felt she owed Xavier for Lisa's incident and wondered how she could repay him.Xavier leaned against the car window, smoking. His neck looked particularly attractive, and the movement only added to his allure.
As the high school students almost collided with Quinn, they immediately apologized. They were intimidated by Xavier's imposing presence."Sorry, miss! We didn't mean to. Are you okay?" one of them asked."Yeah, are you alright, miss? We really didn't do it on purpose!" another added.Quinn waved them off. "I'm fine."After a few more apologies, the students finally left.But even after they were gone, Xavier didn't let her go. She raised an eyebrow.Before Quinn could say a word, his kiss came crashing down on her.From the very beginning, he had wanted to kiss her. She always seemed ready to pull away from this relationship at any moment, which frustrated him.This kiss was tinged with a hint of anger, leaving Quinn's lips slightly red.The streets were filled with people, and she disliked being the center of attention.Yet, Xavier's commanding presence deterred any passerby from approaching; they merely looked on with curiosity.Moreover, his tall stature completely shiel
