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
Somewhere in a dark alley in the borderlands of Mostovia, a loud voice rang out. "Grab her! Don't let her get away!"Even though it was in the middle of the night, the streets were still brightly illuminated. A dozen people in black were chasing after a slender young woman, Quinn Jowell."Damn it. These people are asking for it." Seeing that the men were hot on her tail, Quinn stopped abruptly and grabbed a long metal pole that was about three feet long. "Give us that thing!"In just the blink of an eye, the dozen men in black surrounded Quinn and trapped her. Their faces were twisted into ugly scowls as they came closer to her."You want it? Come and get it, then!" Quinn shouted.She had a dark hoodie covering her face, so none of the men could see her expression. However, her voice sent a shiver down their spines.Blood was still flowing out of her arm where she had taken a bullet earlier. She had to end this. Fast.One of the men with a long scar on his face turned to a blo
Just a while ago, Xavier had ordered Lee to throw out a woman who had dared to drug him. He had been merciless when he had given out that order. However, he didn't feel like suppressing his desires anymore. Moreover, Quinn was exactly his type. Just putting his arm around her waist made him want to give in to the lust raging through his body."I don't care who you are. You're mine."Quinn couldn't help rolling her eyes in the dark when she heard that. "Let's see how you try to make me yours."Even if she was tired, she wasn't one to give up without a fight.However, a second later, Xavier pressed on her wound harshly."Ouch!" Quinn cried out in pain. This man was a cruel and merciless one! How could he attack her weakest point like that?Xavier then pressed his burning body against hers. "I gave you a chance to run away just now, but you didn't. Now, you can't blame it on me anymore.""Do you have a death wish?" Quinn was dying to rip Xavier away from her body, but he didn't g
There was an ugly look on Shelly's face. She had never thought that Quinn, who used to let everyone walk all over her, would turn out to be such a dangerous character."I'm sorry."Shelly had to uphold the Pattersons' reputation. So, she could only apologize like she had been told to, albeit begrudgingly. "I can't hear you.""You—"No one in Jipsfort had ever dared to treat Shelly like this. Her eyes turned red with anger. There were plenty of people watching from the sidelines, yet no one stepped out to defend her."I'm sorry. I was wrong.""Ms. Xandor, remember to treat me with respect the next time you see me. Otherwise, you'll only have yourself to blame when you face the consequences."Shelly was seething. How dared this lowly bitch threaten her like this?Still, she knew that Quinn wasn't going to be able to stay haughty for long. She was going to learn what it meant to offend the daughter of the Xandor family!Quinn took her suitcase and went to the T2 exit. A while l
"Hurry up, Gerald! I'm tired!" Quinn ignored Maurice completely and stretched lazily before going back into the room.Gerald could only do as she said. So, he took a few maids with him to clean up Quinn's room."Change out all of the furniture in this room. You only have one hour." Quinn didn't want to use anything that Kimberly had used before. She thought of them as soiled and dirty."But Ms. Quinn, it's the middle of the night—""Gerald, have you forgotten your roots once again?" Quinn asked, flexing her wrists.Gerald immediately got the maids to prepare everything according to Quinn's instructions.By the time the room was ready, two hours had passed. After having tortured the majority of the bastards in the villa, Quinn slept very well that night.…"Mom, are you really going to let Quinn attend my engagement party tomorrow?" Kimberly had been behaving herself in front of Maurice. However, she didn't like the possibility of Quinn crashing her engagement party.It had bee
Kimberly and Simon's engagement party was to be held at Lightcloud Hotel in Jipsfort. Nearly all of the rich and wealthy people in the city had been invited.Meanwhile, the younger generation of the wealthy families started blowing up their group chat."I heard that Quinn Jowell's returned! It's been five years. I wonder how she's doing now. She used to be so untouchable.""How do you think she's doing? It's terrible in the borderlands. But with Quinn's seductive looks, I'm sure she must have found some sugar daddy to protect her.""I have a friend who visited the borderlands a while ago. They saw her doing the dirty with a 50-year-old man with their own eyes…""Remember how Quinn used to destroy any woman who dared to approach Simon? This is karma. Serves her right!""But have Quinn and Simon ever dated in the past?""No. I've never liked her in the first place." Simon, who had never replied to any of the messages in the group chat before, suddenly resurfaced.When everyone sa
"Gotcha," Xavier whispered enticingly as he leaned into Quinn's ear. His warm breath brushed against her ear.Her beauty was even more stunning up close. Though she only had some light makeup on, she looked so alluring that Xavier found himself unable to tear his eyes away from her.As he stared at her, she also observed him.She hadn't been able to get a good look at his face that night since the private room had been too dark.Now, she saw that he was dressed in a black shirt with its hem tucked into a pair of black dress pants, which were well-fitted against his muscular legs.His captivating eyes carried a hint of danger in them, and along with his sharp nose and sexy lips, they came together to form an attractive face, the epitome of perfection. When Quinn saw that flawless face of his, she was reminded of danger, temptation, pheromones, and his sweaty body above hers. "I don't care who you are. Just don't mess things up for me." The words that fell from her lips were col
