When Shelly returned home, she threw a huge tantrum.Upon learning that Shelly had spent 800 thousand dollars on an emerald signet ring, Shania was furious. "Are you an idiot, Shelly? Do you have any idea how strapped for cash we are right now?"Shelly hadn't expected to get scolded at home after the rough time she'd had outside, which only worsened her mood."What do you mean, Mom? Is the Xandor Group's situation my fault? Isn't it all because of your own doing? What does that have to do with me? I see now. You just can't stand me. Fine, I'll leave! Is that what you want?"Shelly stormed out and went to Nocturnal Club.Some of her old friends heard she was there and went to find her. Shelly's so-called friends were mostly troublemakers. Noticing that she was in a bad mood, they encouraged her to try some drugs."Give this a try, Shelly. It's the real deal! No matter what's bothering you, all your problems will disappear once you take this."Shelly had already drunk quite a bit.
"What should I do now, Simon? I don't want to stay here, It's so terrifying. Please help me, Simon." Shelly pleaded.Simon patted her on the back gently. "Alright, I'll figure something out to get you out of here. Don't worry."After all, she was still his sister, and he couldn't just leave her in this mess.Shelly wrapped her arms around Simon tightly. "You're the best, Simon. I knew you wouldn't abandon me."To her, Simon was far more reliable than Shania."Alright, just stay away from that stuff," Simon warned her sternly.Once she got hooked on drugs, there was no turning back."I know, Simon. Don't worry. I just got tricked this time. Quinn was there too. She even slapped me—twice!" The thought of those slaps made her chest burn with resentment."Quinn was there?""Yeah, I suspect she called the police. She just can't stand me. How can there be such annoying people in this world?""Enough, Shelly. Stop blaming others. You should reflect on what you did wrong yourself." N
Quinn slipped into a sleek black dress. She had somehow developed a fondness for black.In the black slip dress, she exuded an air of fierce confidence. The fishtail dress and high heels, paired with her flawlessly fair skin, created a stunning effect.As she drove out, she noticed Simon's car parked outside. She frowned. What was he doing here?She quickly called Edgar. "Simon's outside my house. Make sure my mom is safe." Despite the strong security around the villa, she was still worried.Quinn had no trust at all in the Xandors.As her car drove past Simon, she didn't even pause. To her, Simon was nothing more than an enemy now.When Simon saw her, he immediately got in his car to follow her.He didn't understand why he had come here in the middle of the night instead of going home to sleep. But he just couldn't control himself.Ever since Quinn returned, he found himself doing all sorts of inexplicable things.In the end, he realized she was going to see Xavier. Simon kne
Quinn was never someone who would take a loss. She bit down hard and left a deep mark on Xavier's shoulder."We can't just impose on each other, Xavier," she said.She had her own social circle and couldn't simply avoid drinking with other men. As a person who took promises seriously, she wouldn't make a promise she couldn't keep."I really have no way to deal with you." Xavier lightly stroked the mark she'd left with his fingers.Sometimes, he genuinely wanted to bite her neck clean through, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.Quinn had never acknowledged their relationship. She had always been frank about his position in her heart.Facing someone like Quinn, who was heartless and only interested in his body, he felt utterly powerless."What's wrong? Want to get married? Whether as the ruler of the borderlands or the president of Lightcloud Corporation, there will always be women who want to marry you."Countless young women dreamed of being with him."Get married? Why bo
Xavier roughly tore away Quinn's tight dress. The sound echoed violently in the quiet night.Quinn was rendered speechless.This man was wild beyond measure.Quinn's undergarments were also black, which made her skin appear even fairer.Xavier was like a fervent devotee now. His kisses traced down her body.Quinn, having accepted the invitation to drink, knew exactly what was coming. Earlier, she had merely been teasing him.Now, she let him set her on fire.On the leather couch, she lay completely naked. Her body was a perfect work of art."What a seductress." Xavier shifted positions. He sat back on the couch and pulled her onto him.Quinn wrapped her arms around his neck and lowered her head to kiss him.A seductress? She hadn't done anything. Everything was just a reflection of his own tumultuous thoughts.Xavier held her waist to prevent her from falling backward.He had a powerful torso. Even in this position, it was hard not to moan, and she did.After all, it was j
There were no emotions involved, just the raw, primal rhythm.Kimberly wasn't unaffected, but asking her to give up on the past five years and the Xandor family was simply too much. She couldn't do it.However, after Simon came, he callously pushed her away.Kimberly nearly fell. Her tears fell instantly."How can you do this to me, Simon? You've misunderstood. Please, let me explain! You won't even hear an explanation and have already sentenced me to death!" Kimberly was filled with resentment."Get out, Kimberly. I'm going home." Despite the release, Simon felt emptier.What spell had Quinn cast on him? Why was he the one who couldn't let go? He couldn't even tell if it was stubbornness or lingering attachment.…There was an issue in the borderlands, and Xavier had to go back. Though he didn't want to, the situation was dire, and his men couldn't handle it.He made breakfast that morning. While they were eating, he told Quinn about the situation.Quinn, however, didn't see
"You and Ian..." Quinn looked at Nadia suspiciously.She wasn't naive. Ian sometimes blushed when he looked at Nadia. He sure had feelings for her."Ian and I? What about us? He's just a kid!""He's 19, right? He's already an adult. If you wanted to sleep with him, I guess it wouldn't be impossible," Quinn teased.Nadia had just gone through a breakup anyway."Quinn, do you really think of me as some kind of beast? 19 is too young!""Didn't you say younger guys have better stamina? I think Ian is pretty good. If you wanted to, you could give it a try," Quinn said.After all, Nadia always encouraged her to enjoy life.Nadia's face turned red at that. She had actually had that kind of dream before.In the dream, Ian had pushed her onto the bed and done things, and she had accepted it reluctantly.Who wouldn't be tempted by the allure of youth?But Nadia wasn't that kind of easy woman. Without love, no matter how good the body was, she couldn't bring herself to sleep with him.
Maurice never expected that the elegant Lisa would kick him right in the chest. He was sent sprawling to the ground."How can you be so shameless, Maurice? How dare you show your face here?" Lisa's voice was filled with disgust.Maurice immediately dropped to his knees. "I know I was wrong, Lisa. Please, give me another chance. It's all Araminta's fault. She seduced me."Maurice shifted all the blame onto Araminta. He stubbornly refused to admit his lack of control over his manhood.The man she once loved had turned out to be so despicable.Lisa was truly disappointed.If he had just told her he no longer loved her, she would have agreed to a divorce. But instead, he joined forces with Araminta and dragged her through the mud.She truly couldn't understand what she saw in this man. How could someone so irresponsible ever be worthy of her love?"I'm really sorry, Lisa. If you can forgive me, we can still be a family. Let's remarry for Quinny's sake. I'll divorce Araminta.""Are
