Chapter 332

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
"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

    "Where do you think you're going? You can take a look at the promissory note we have here. It's time for you to pay up the money Gabriel owes us. It's best if you don't make things difficult for us. "You can either settle the debt now or let her come with us. We're not leaving empty-handed today," William Wood, one of the debt collectors, warned."You probably shouldn't have returned to Havenport, Quinny," Gwendolyn said. She felt a pang of sorrow as she thought about what awaited Quinn."Don't worry, Grandma. I'll take care of this," Quinn said. She felt that it was a simple matter that could be handled easily."Your uncle owes us money, and it's all in writing. As his niece, I'm sure you wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to him, right?"Young women like her were often quite empathetic. Therefore, William assumed that Quinn would definitely agree to their demands—all for the sake of Gabriel's safety. It seemed that their visit this time would be quite fruitful."He's the

    Quinn decided not to escalate things, as she didn't want to make them worry. "Did you hear what I said earlier? A debt belongs to the one who incurred it. You should go after the one who owes you."After that, Quinn took Gwendolyn and the others to Havenport Grand Hotel. Given that Gwendolyn hadn't completely agreed to leave with them yet, they assumed that they might need to stay in Havenport for a couple more days. As such, Quinn booked a suite, which had a living room, a kitchen, and two large bedrooms.Lorraine initially planned to chat with them a bit longer, but her husband, Devin Brown, got drunk and started rambling angrily on the phone. She didn't want Gwendolyn and Lisa to worry about her, so she quickly made up an excuse and left the hotel.After Lorraine left, Lisa led Gwendolyn to the room to chat. Quinn, who had been out all day, felt a bit grimy, so she headed to the bathroom to take a shower.It wasn't until she stepped out of the shower that she noticed the mes

    Upon hearing that, Quinn fell silent.Ultimately, Quinn and Xavier booked another suite next door.It was the same familiar suite, fully equipped with everything they needed.Given that she had already taken a shower, Quinn turned on the TV and tuned into the international news.Meanwhile, Xavier went to take a shower. After taking a shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist and came out of the bathroom.Upon seeing that Quinn was watching the news, Xavier took a seat next to her to watch along.It was currently broadcasting news about Louis' mafia organization being wiped out by an unidentified force.Xavier showed no reaction whatsoever.Quinn cast a glance at Xavier and asked, "Did you go to the borderlands because of this?""He got on my nerves," Xavier stated bluntly. Anyone who dared to provoke him would have to face dire consequences. It didn't matter if the other party was part of the mafia or not. Given that he had never been one to reason, people should avoid provo

    As expected, Noah arrived that very night and called Quinn right away. It was a real emergency, so he had no choice but to disturb Quinn at such a late hour."I've reached Havenport, Queen! Where can I meet up with you?""I'm currently at Havenport Grand Hotel. You can wait for me in the lobby of the hotel," Quinn said. She felt that it wouldn't be appropriate to invite him to the room at this late hour."Got it. I'll head there to wait for you. You can take your time."Quinn always made an effort with her appearance before heading out—even though she had never regarded him romantically.Moreover, he frequently found himself needing Quinn's help for a lot of things.After hanging up the phone, Quinn nudged Xavier with her finger.Xavier immediately caught her hand. After having napped for a while, his mind was still a bit hazy as he slowly got up and said, "Got it. Give me a minute to come around.""Given how tired you are, you should stay here and get some rest. You don't need

    As soon as they stepped into the elevator, Xavier grabbed Quinn's hand, and their fingers interlocked tightly.He really enjoyed the sensation of holding her hand.Quinn tried to withdraw her hand, but Xavier refused to let go."What are you doing, Xavier?""What's the matter? Is there some rule that says friends with benefits can't hold hands? If there are no rules about it, what's wrong with me wanting to hold your hand?" Xavier stated bluntly.It wasn't as though he was committing any heinous act, nor was he causing harm to anyone. And even if it did, he would have done it anyway. After all, he always did whatever he wanted.And before long, they finally reached the hotel lobby.Upon seeing Noah, Xavier scowled. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Noah these days. Why did he continually turn to Quinn for assistance rather than taking care of his own problems?"Are you really free these days, Mr. Torres?" Xavier sneered. He felt that Noah had plenty of time on

    Quinn had intentionally let them know in order to lure them.Xavier had been watching as well. He had dabbled with computers for several years, and his skills were decent. However, compared to Quinn, it was very obvious that Quinn was much more gifted. Quinn engaged in a back-and-forth tactical maneuver with those hackers.It didn't take long for those hackers to realize that they were up against an elite hacker. And by the time they tried to retreat, it was already too late. Their computers had stopped responding."What the hell do we do now? Who the fuck are we up against?"They were pretty sure they didn't have someone so talented in the cybersecurity bureau. After all, their previous incursion was carried out with great ease. Yet, at this moment, they found themselves inextricably entangled and unable to withdraw."What else can we do? Damn it! We were so close!" It was so frustrating. They were getting completely crushed, without a chance to fight back. All their hard work

    Whoever said women lack desire was wrong. Sometimes, a woman's longing could catch the man off guard.Faced with Quinn's boldness, Xavier found it impossible to resist. His desire for her was burning within him.Since being with her, he'd wanted her constantly, and tonight was no exception.Quinn tilted her head, and Xavier landed a peck on her neck, one of her most alluring features.His kiss felt like a gentle spring breeze as he began softly at her lips.That light touch flipped a switch within her. It sent electric tingles racing through her body. It was as if he wielded some mysterious power. As he glided his lips down her neck, each caress sent shivers coursing through her, making her tremble involuntarily.With each kiss moving lower, her heartbeat quickened. She felt as though she were immersed in a sweet dream, and his kisses were the leading melody of this ethereal experience.From her lips to her neck and then to her chest, each kiss ignited a flame deep within her. She cou

    "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
