After all, Gwendolyn had always been the epitome of a Havenport socialite."We've arrived, Lisa," Lorraine said.Quinn went straight to the door and knocked. Unfortunately, there was no response."Is she not at home?" Quinn asked. She wondered where else could Gwendolyn be if not at home, especially considering her old age.At that very moment, an elderly woman with gray hair came upstairs, carrying a bag filled with plastic bottles.Quinn didn't recognize her at first. However, as the elderly woman drew nearer, she realized that it was her grandmother.Mom!" Lisa exclaimed as tears streamed down her face.Gwendolyn was initially bewildered. She hadn't eaten anything since morning. Given that she had no food at home and she was penniless, she had no choice but to gather unwanted plastic bottles outside to sell for money.Upon recognizing the person before her, Gwendolyn dropped the bag of plastic bottles and asked, "Is it really you, Lisa? Oh, my darling daughter! I thought I'd

They were initially really furious and had a strong dislike for Maurice. However, Lisa was their darling daughter, and there was no way they could completely turn their backs on her.After their anger passed and they tried to look for her, it was already too late.Upon learning of his beloved daughter and granddaughter's misfortune, Leroy was so consumed with anger that he fell gravely ill.At that moment, Gabriel and his wife, Maria Spencer, finally returned. As soon as they saw the house filled with people, they were momentarily bewildered."It's already so late, Mom. Why haven't you started cooking yet?" Gabriel demanded.Gwendolyn had never needed to cook before. There was always household staff in their villa that would handle all the cooking and cleaning. Yet, in this small, rundown apartment, she had to do everything herself.They completely treated her as if she were their personal maid!"I can't believe you'd let Mom go out and scavenge for trash, Gabe! She's already ge

"It's the only thing I have left of your father. How can I just give it to you?" Gwendolyn said. It was her only keepsake from her husband. "Cut the crap and give me the bracelet. I need it now," Gabriel demanded. He was clearly losing his patience."I'm not giving it to you!" Gwendolyn said firmly, not giving him any leeway. She couldn't just give him everything she wanted.As soon as Gabriel saw the bracelet on her wrist, he lunged at her to grab it.Upon seeing the scene before them, Lisa and Lorraine were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their older brother would do something so terrible. How could he attempt to snatch something from their mother before their very eyes?"Gabriel!"Gwendolyn was enraged and terrified. She couldn't let him have the bracelet.Quinn couldn't bear to watch any longer. She directly kicked Gabriel and sent him flying across the room.Upon seeing that, everyone in the living room was rendered speechless.Having finally regained his senses, Gabr

"I'm warning you, Gabriel. If you allow them to stay here, I'll definitely divorce you," Maria warned.They used to live in a luxurious villa, but after the Gatrell family's downfall, they were forced to live in a cramped, rundown apartment. The neighbors were incredibly loud. It was impossible to escape the noise. Yet, despite the difficult circumstances, she had to make do."Don't worry, honey. There's no way I'm letting them stay here. After they dared to lay a hand on me, I no longer consider them my sister and niece."Lorraine was utterly disappointed. As children, whenever anyone picked on them, Gabriel would always come to their rescue, defending them against any bullies. His current state was a bitter pill to swallow.Upon hearing their conversation, Gwendolyn was heartbroken. She couldn't understand how he could be so callous toward his own sister and niece. How could he be so heartless?"How could you do this to Lisa and Quinny? You're Lisa's older brother and Quinny's u

"Let's go get something to eat, Grandma," Quinn said. She clearly had no intention of reasoning with someone like Gabriel. It was a complete waste of time."Where are you guys eating? I'm hungry as well. Let's go together," Gabriel stated brazenly. Even though he really wanted the bracelet, he wanted to eat as well.He then turned to Lisa and said shamelessly, "It's only fair for you to treat me to a meal since you're back after such a long time, right?"Quinn was utterly disgusted by Gabriel's behavior."You should come back with me to Jipsfort, Mom!" Lisa exclaimed. She knew very well that she would never live a good life if she stayed with Gabriel. After all, a gambler like him could never be reformed.Upon hearing that Gwendolyn intended to leave, Maria objected by saying, "What do you mean by that, Lisa? Gwendolyn still has to cook for us. How can she just leave with you guys?"Maria expected Gwendolyn to do everything for them."How can you let Mom do all this cooking for

"I'm starving as well. Why don't we tag along with them?" Gabriel said. In any case, he didn't have any money on him at that moment."Come on. Let's see where they're heading."Quinn opted for a restaurant that her grandparents had often brought her mother to. It was a restaurant that was particularly well-known in Havenport and had been in business for over a century. Although the food was undeniably exquisite, it was way too expensive for most people.Upon arriving at the restaurant, Gwendolyn was somewhat hesitant. Lisa and Quinn must have been through a lot all those years. Now that they had finally returned, it seemed almost extravagant to bring them to such a costly establishment for a meal."I know you mean well, Quinny, but it's just a simple meal with the family. How about we go somewhere else? It's too pricey here." Gwendolyn had been accustomed to a life of affluence. Yet, she now had to take the price into account for a simple meal. Lisa couldn't help but feel distres

Gabriel was furious. How could that bitch disrespect him in such a way!Despite having suffered a lot over the years, he was still acutely conscious of his public image."Enough! If you keep this up, I'll have no choice but to kick you out," the security guard stated bluntly. He felt that they shouldn't have come to this establishment if they obviously couldn't afford to. It would at least spare them from such a humiliating scene."I'm really—"Before Gabriel could even finish his sentence, the security guard directly kicked them out of the premises.Maria remained silent throughout the whole ordeal. She merely fixed his gaze on Gabriel with utter contempt."I—" Gabriel felt even more embarrassed after being humiliated in front of Maria."You should probably take a long, hard look at yourself, Gabriel. Your sister and niece have absolutely no respect for you! What's the use of going on like this?" Maria was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but lash out."What's that suppos

As she tasted the familiar dishes, Gwendolyn couldn't help but tear up as she was reminded of Leroy.She had often thought about joining him in the afterlife. However, her concern for her children had always held her back.Now that Lisa had finally returned to her side, Gwendolyn wanted to spend more time with her. After all, Lisa had suffered greatly from a bad marriage and a series of hardships. She wanted to stay by her side to offer her comfort and support."I would like to pay Dad a visit, Mom," Lisa said sorrowfully. She wondered if Leroy would ever forgive her for her past mistakes."Sounds good. I haven't been there for quite some time as well. After we're done eating, we can go visit him together. I bet he'll be thrilled to know that you've returned."After all, Leroy had always been worried about Lisa before his passing, as she had always been the pride and joy of their family.Yet, all that mattered to her now was Lisa's happiness and health. All the past glory paled i

"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
