Chapter 344

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Upon reading her response, Noah was deeply disheartened. How could she turn him down so heartlessly? Couldn't she at least consider it? After all, the perks offered by the cybersecurity bureau were genuinely quite attractive.

"Are you really not going to reconsider it? I think you'd be perfect for this place, and besides, your skills are invaluable to us."

Noah had extended invitations to Quinn on more than one occasion but to no avail.

Quinn chose not to respond to him anymore.

Upon seeing that she didn't respond to his message, Noah couldn't help but feel disappointed.

He reluctantly boarded his flight, knowing he would have to wait for a better time to ask her again. He really wanted her to join the bureau!

Meanwhile, Xavier was sitting on the couch. As soon as he noticed Quinn come out of the bathroom while engrossed in her phone, he got up and brought her to the couch to sit beside him. He then took a towel and started drying her hair.

Quinn's hair was a cascade of silk;

    In the end, Gabriel single-handedly pushed the Gatrell family to the brink of ruin.As much as Gwendolyn knew she should, she couldn't bring herself to completely ignore Gabriel. He was her son, after all. She couldn't just abandon him.Upon seeing this, Lisa knew Gwendolyn couldn't possibly ignore Gabriel. She leaned on Gwendolyn's shoulder and said, "All I want is for you to live a long, healthy life, Mom." Given that Leroy was no longer around, Lisa couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening to Gwendolyn. "I'm fine as long as I know you and Quinny are doing well. Why don't you both stay a few more days?" Gwendolyn asked. She was looking forward to spending more time with them as she missed them dearly."I'd really like it if you came back with me, Mom. I promise to take great care of you in Jipsfort. I'm so worried about you living here alone," Lisa said worriedly. She felt that someone her age shouldn't do all the cooking and cleaning—and even sleep on the balcony.

    Xavier kept his head down and focused on pleasing her. He even thought that if he were to die while making love to Quinn, he would be more than willing to do so.Quinn unconsciously grabbed onto the bedsheet. Her body was stretched taut. Xavier had a knack for teasing her in a way she couldn't resist.Xavier finally moved away and lay beside her on the bed. His lips were glistening, which looked extremely suggestive.After being pleasured by Xavier, Quinn was completely spent. She had no energy left, so she could only lie motionless on the bed.Despite that, Xavier still hadn't had enough. "Get on top of me."A single glance from Xavier was all it took for Quinn to get the message, and she willingly obliged his order. After all, he had made her feel so good, so it was only fair for her to return the favor. If she refused, Xavier would probably snap.As Quinn took the lead, Xavier found himself relishing the moment. It felt surprisingly good.They were consumed by passion in the

    "There's really no need for you to keep me company, Xavier. I can manage on my own," Quinn continued. She was a self-sufficient woman who didn't like to rely on others."Yes, yes. I get it," Xavier said. He knew very well that Quinn had never liked to depend on others. At the end of the day, it was his choice to stay by her side."Come on, eat up! You can handle your own business while I take care of my own," Xavier said. He was trying to change the subject.Quinn merely ate a few bites as she knew that eating too much would only upset her stomach."Do you not like the food?" Xavier asked worriedly. All the dishes today were pretty health-oriented, and it seemed like she wasn't a big fan of them."It's not that I dislike it or anything. It's just that I don't have much of an appetite."Upon hearing that, Xavier handed her a bowl of soup and said, "You should have some soup then. It's actually pretty tasty."Quinn merely took a couple of sips.After lunch, Xavier and Quinn went

    "I'm your uncle, Quinn! Are you really going to stand there and let me die?" Gabriel exclaimed in disbelief."I don't care who you are. I'm not helping you, no matter what," Quinn said, then turned and went straight into the hotel.Gabriel tried to go in after her, but a security guard stopped him. "I apologize, sir, but access is restricted to registered hotel guests only.""Why, you!" Gabriel was furious. He was almost beside himself with rage.He then turned to Xavier and proposed to him a deal. "You like Quinny, right? I'll marry her off to you if you help me with my debts."Upon hearing that, Xavier immediately grabbed him by his neck—his piercing gaze burning with fury—as he snapped, "What the fuck did you just say? I dare you to say that again! Who the fuck do you think you are to commodify Quinny?"How could an uncle do such a thing to their niece!"What do you think you're doing? You better release my husband now!" Maria exclaimed as she rushed forward to help Gabriel.

    Although Quinn refused to elaborate on the matter, Xavier managed to figure it out nonetheless."I'm coming with you," Xavier stated. There was no way he would allow her to face those people alone."There's no need for that." Quinn was aware that Lisa wasn't particularly fond of Xavier and even harbored some fear regarding his background. Nevertheless, she couldn't fault Lisa for that. After all, Xavier was a man who operated in both the legal and criminal worlds, and his intimidating presence was something that most people found overwhelming. On top of that, he was intimately involved with her!"You should let him come along, Quinny. Those people are too ruthless, so I'm worried…" Lisa trailed off. She didn't want Quinn to confront those people alone. She felt much safer knowing Xavier, with his fighting skills, would be there to protect them."I can handle it on my own, Mom," Quinn said. In fact, her background wasn't as spotless as it seemed. It was just that Lisa had no idea

    "Please calm down, Grandma. Everything will be fine," Quinn said as she tried to soothe Gwendolyn's agitation. There was no way Gwendolyn could calm down at that moment. Those people were loan sharks! Anyone who couldn't repay their debts would have their wives and daughters captured by them. After that, they would either be taken to hotels to be used as hostesses or be forced into prostitution.They were after Quinn because of her looks. A young woman like her could have her life destroyed if she was captured and forced into being a hostess or a prostitute."You can't just let her go, Mom! What will happen to me if she goes? Do you not care about me anymore? I'm your son, for goodness sake!" Gabriel exclaimed incredulously. After all, no matter how dear she was, she was still merely a granddaughter!"How can you even say that, Gabriel! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have fallen into such a state. How could you do this to Quinny?"Gwendolyn thought that as long as she

    "Please take Mrs. Gatrell Senior to the car and wait there, Ms. Gatrell. I'll take care of the things here," Xavier said as he handed the car keys to Lisa.Lisa thanked him and then led Gwendolyn outside.Upon seeing that Gwendolyn and Lisa had left, Gabriel thought about leaving as well. He really didn't want to stay here since these people were absolutely frightening.Quinn waited for Lisa and Gwendolyn to get into the car before turning to Gabriel."Your problems are your own to deal with. I don't care if you have to sell your blood or your kidney; it's all on you," Quinn said while looking extremely indifferent. "Everyone in the family still needs me, Quinny! And what about your poor old grandmother? She wouldn't be able to handle it if anything happened to me.""And? What's your point?""You should follow them! It's just being a hostess, so no one will ever find out about it. I'm telling the truth, Quinny!" Gabriel said boldly. Xavier immediately walked over and kicked G

    "I'm taking Grandma with me. You don't have to look after her anymore. As for your troubles, sort them out yourself—I'm not going to help you," Quinn stated, then went over to Xavier."Are you really going to leave me here, Quinny?" Gabriel asked. He was truly terrified. They had beaten up those debt collectors into such a state, so they would definitely come after him next. Quinn couldn't be bothered to even look at Gabriel. A man like him didn't deserve any pity. After all, he even wanted her to become a hostess to pay off his debt. If she felt sorry for him, she'd be out of her mind.After watching them leave, those injured debt collectors got to their feet and approached Gabriel. "That's your niece, Gabriel. Given that she had beaten the crap out of us, you're going to have to make it up to us."They had suffered a brutal beating, and now they unleashed their fury on Gabriel with equal force. There were even some that went so far as to viciously kick him in the groin.Gabriel

    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.

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
