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
In the end, since Maria didn't have the money to pay for the hospital fees, the doctor refused to treat Gabriel.Upon hearing that, Gwendolyn couldn't help but feel distressed. She would have helped if she could, but she was also financially strapped."I—""Are you really not going to do anything about this? Gabriel's still your son! Do you honestly believe Lisa will be able to look after you forever? Aren't you going to depend on us eventually?" Maria said. She was genuinely worried that they would leave them in the lurch, and her anxiety was palpable.Upon witnessing Gwendolyn's distress, Lisa felt compelled to intervene. She grabbed Gwendolyn's phone and asked, "Which hospital is it?"Having ended the call, Lisa made up her mind to go there herself. No matter what, it was Gabriel who was involved in this situation.Upon seeing Lisa in such a state, Gwendolyn felt terrible. After all, Gabriel's behavior was truly despicable. He even dared to target Quinn! "I won't blame you
