Chapter 302

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
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.

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.

    "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

    In the end, Quinn didn't even have the strength to walk. It was Xavier who had carried her back to bed.When he woke up, she was already gone. He couldn't help but frown. He didn't like waking up to an empty bed.Nevertheless, he sat up.Yesterday had been so wild that he didn't even know when Quinn had woken up. He tried calling her, but there was no answer.Xavier's irritation grew.She had slept with him and then disappeared. How rude could that be? Sometimes he wondered if she was just playing with him.At that moment, Quinn had already returned to Windhaven Villa. No matter what, she was determined to come back and have breakfast with Lisa.Nadia, who had come home late the previous night, had just woken up. She pulled Quinn aside when she saw her. "Did you go to Xavier's last night?""Yeah," Quinn admitted."Must have been quite intense. You look a bit out of it. Didn't you say Xavier wasn't up to much before?"Quinn was rendered speechless.When did she ever say that?

    "Alright." Ian nodded.He was struggling with his own feelings. He liked Nadia, but she only saw him as a brother figure. How was he supposed to change that?…The ambiance at Xandor Group's morning meeting was tense. The shareholders were deeply dissatisfied with Shania's stubbornness.If it weren't for her, Xandor Group wouldn't end up in this mess."Mrs. Xandor, it's clear that acquiring Four Seasons shares was a mistake. If this continues, Xandor Group won't be able to sustain itself.""That's right! We should sell the Four Seasons shares. Otherwise, our funds will never stabilize.""Four Seasons Incorporated isn't an easy target for a takeover. Ms. Jowell is a highly capable individual. We should avoid antagonizing her.""Can't you just manage your own company? Why must we always go up against them?"Shania was increasingly distressed by their comments."Have you all said enough? I'm the president of Xandor Group. Give me one more day, and I'll sort out the funds.""Mrs

"Welcome, ma'am. Although this place is small, everything we sell is genuine.""Don't worry about us. We'll look around and ask if we need anything," Lisa said.She was Leroy's most cherished daughter. In her youth, she followed him closely and saw many types of antiques, so she became quite an expert.After a thorough look, Lisa chose an emerald signet ring. The ring was in good condition and had decent purity."How much is this?" Lisa hadn't visited an antique store in a while, so she was unsure of the current market prices."You have a keen eye, ma'am. This emerald signet ring dates back to the early Middle Ages and was once worn

    "What did you say?" Shelly couldn't believe her ears. This card was Darius' supplementary card. How could it possibly be out of funds?"I said your card has insufficient funds.

    "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
