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
After a lot of searching, Noah finally managed to secure a table.It had a very lively atmosphere. Although the environment wasn't particularly appealing, it was merely a restaurant that specialized in crayfish. There was no way it could be compared to fine dining. Upon noticing the condition of the restaurant, Xavier couldn't help but feel a bit repulsed. He was a bit of a germaphobe, so he couldn't stand places like this. "Are you sure you want to eat crayfish? If you're not that keen on it, we can go somewhere else.""I really want to eat it," Quinn said. Despite having a sensitive stomach, she had a penchant for richly flavored foods.Xavier grabbed a handful of napkins from the dispenser on the table and carefully wiped down the stools and table.It was only after he wiped it clean that he allowed her to have a seat."Given her sensitive stomach, I think we should go for the garlic-flavored ones," Xavier said. He knew that the spicy-flavored crayfish would be too much for h
Upon hearing that, Quinn raised her head and glanced at Brody.As soon as Quinn raised her head, Brody found himself completely mesmerized by her beauty. He had never encountered such an exquisite woman. She was a vision of perfection and a goddess among mortals."Come on, sweetheart! If you have a drink with me, you'll definitely be untouchable in Havenport!" Quinn calmly took Xavier's glass, splashed the drink in Brody's face, and exclaimed, "Scram!"Did he actually think he was all that after a few sips of cheap booze? How could someone like him think he was worthy to invite her for a drink?Brody didn't expect such a fiery temper from someone who seemed so cold and aloof. He wiped his face and bellowed, "How dare you disrespect me in such a way! If you refuse to accept my hospitality, you'll have to face the consequences. I'm going to show you what I'm capable of tonight!" As Brody moved in to grab Quinn, Xavier, who had remained silent throughout the whole ordeal, delivere
Given that those drunkards dared to covet his woman, Xavier decided to teach them a lesson himself.Noah came over wanting to help but soon realized that his help was not needed.Xavier fought with brutal ferocity and easily overpowered those drunkards.Before long, those drunkards were beaten to the ground by Xavier. A few of them even had their heads smashed open. As a result, the ground was covered in a gruesome mess of blood and broken glass."Clean up this mess," Xavier demanded of those drunkards.They didn't dare to disobey him, so they immediately started picking up the glass on the ground. One of them even accidentally cut their finger in the process.Yet, as soon as Xavier's eyes met his, the drunkard immediately resumed cleaning. He was absolutely terrified! Did he actually stumble upon the devil incarnate himself? How could someone be so frightening?Xavier showed no mercy when he fought, which made him even more terrifying than the drunken thugs he was facing.They
