"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
Luna was deeply grateful to Lisa. The latter was truly a wonderful person and didn't deserve such a fate.Luna, who was always polite, left shortly after dinner, after staying a little while.Nadia didn't come for dinner today. With her showcase approaching, she had been extremely busy.Only Quinn and Lisa were left in the villa.Lisa seemed to be feeling better. She was now watching TV in the living room, something she hadn't cared for before.She used to think there were so many important things in life that she didn't have time to waste on television.Yet, this time around, she found watching TV to be quite a pleasant distraction."Mom, I'm planning to hand over Four Seasons Incorporated to Luna. What do you think of her?" Quinn asked.After all, Four Seasons Incorporated was Lisa's hard work, so Quinn wanted to discuss it with her.Lisa thought for a moment before nodding."I think it's a good idea. Luna is a very capable woman. I'd feel reassured with her managing the co
Quinn had a passion for car modifications, but the Dazzle was the most impressive she had ever seen. It was perfect for high-speed racing. It could provide the extreme thrill she craved.Seeing the glint in her eyes, Xavier knew she was thrilled. "Why don't you take it for a spin?"He had arranged for the Dazzle to be shipped from Dudore a while ago but hadn't given it to her until now, as he needed to modify it to suit her preferences.The Dazzle was his prized possession. Although he hadn't raced in years, he had kept it in pristine condition.Xavier tossed her the car keys, and Quinn caught them with a steady hand.She opened the car door and slid into the driver's seat. She was clearly impressed. The Dazzle was everything she had hoped for. It lived up to its top-tier reputation.Xavier took the passenger seat.Once he was settled, Quinn revved up the engine and took the Dazzle out on the road.The car roared down the highway, which attracted countless onlookers. Some even
"This is my first gift to you. Do you like it?" Xavier asked. He genuinely hoped Quinn would be pleased."You didn't have to give me something so extravagant, Xavier." The Dazzle was priceless. It was beyond what money could buy.He must be the Race King. The Dazzle was clearly his most treasured possession."The Dazzle has been kept away for a long time. You're the right person for it, so I'm giving it to you," Xavier said."Thank you." Quinn really liked it.She stepped out of the car and stood beside it. Xavier had meticulously modified the car to perfectly match her driving style. He had clearly put a lot of thought into it."Can you stay tonight?" Xavier asked. With Edgar around, Lisa would be fine. He wanted it to be just the two of them tonight.Quinn hesitated. Did he give her a gift just to sleep with her?Without waiting for her answer, Xavier picked her up. He had wanted to do this earlier in the day on Maidenhair Avenue.He carried her into the bathroom. Tonight, h
