Chapter 357

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Lorraine was at a loss for words. After the Gatrell family had fallen from grace, she did consider divorcing Devin. Yet, Devin refused to accept it.

Devin had been having an affair, and whenever he returned home in a bad mood, he would physically abuse her. She had been pregnant at one point, but Devin kicked her so hard that she lost the baby.

"I've been thinking about divorcing him, Quinny. I'm determined to end this marriage," Lorraine stated firmly. She honestly couldn't stand living like this for another day. She had even considered taking her own life and his to put an end to this.

"Can you trust me on this, Aunt Lorraine? If you do, I'll immediately sort this out."

"You're merely a young woman, Quinny. There's no way you can handle him. He's—"

"All I want to know is, do you really want to divorce him?" Quinn asked. This was the only answer she cared about.

As Lorraine gazed into Quinn's determined eyes, she felt a flicker of hope ignite within her.

    "Stop looking at her. She's my woman," Xavier said as he stood up. He thought she was supposed to be out with Lisa and Gwendolyn tonight. He didn't expect to run into her here."Your woman? When did you get yourself a girlfriend? How come I didn't know about this?" Zayn asked. He was clearly taken aback."It's none of your business."Upon reaching the entrance, Xavier walked up to Quinn and gently patted her shoulder, saying, "What a coincidence."It was genuinely a coincidence today.Quinn turned around and met Xavier's astonished gaze. She hadn't expected to run into Xavier here as well."Are you meeting up with your friend?""Nope. I'm here to look for someone," Quinn replied nonchalantly."You should just leave me be and have fun with your friend," Quinn added. After all, she wasn't here to have fun today. "Are you in a hurry then?""Not really.""I'll introduce you to a friend of mine, then," Xavier said. Zayn was one of his best friends—the kind he could fully entrus

    "It seems like she's about to cause some trouble!" Zayn exclaimed. He owned this bar, which he had opened to win over a woman from Havenport."If she wants to make a scene, let her," Xavier said nonchalantly. "Oh, that's easy for you to say! You don't own the place, so obviously you don't give a damn about it!" Zayn snapped."If anything gets trashed, I'll cover it," Xavier said. All that mattered to him was Quinn's happiness."You're totally whipped for her! I never thought I'd see this side of you, Xavier. I always thought you would remain emotionally distant for the rest of your life!"Xavier ignored him. After all, Zayn was the one who came all the way to Havenport to chase after his love interest.…Meanwhile, Quinn headed directly for Devin, who was intoxicated and disoriented.Upon seeing such an attractive woman approach their table, the others instantly grew excited."Where did you find such a hottie, Devin? She's gorgeous!""Exactly! She might be dressed down, but

    "What do you want from me? How did you get your hands on these? Where did you get them? Who gave them to you?" Devin demanded. His voice was rising in panic."It doesn't matter where I got it from, as long as it's genuine. You better show up on time at the courthouse tomorrow, or else…" Quinn trailed off again before turning around and leaving the scene.Devin tried to stop her, but one look from her and he was shaking like a leaf."After the divorce, you better apologize to Lorraine. And don't expect to get anything from the divorce!" Quinn warned. It was outrageous for a domestic abuser like him to have any claim on Lorraine's possessions.Quinn swaggered away, leaving Devin to seethe with rage. Yet, as he clenched his phone tightly, his hand trembled. He was clearly terrified."What's going on, Devin? Are you really going to get a divorce?""You know, it might be a good idea for you to get a divorce. Lorraine has lost everything, after all. And you only married her for her mon

    Moreover, Devin was a vindictive man. After suffering such humiliation at the bar, there was no telling how he would take it out on Lorraine."Got it, Mom. You don't have to worry about it," Quinn said before hanging up the phone.Xavier's gaze on her had been so intense, it felt like he was trying to burn a hole through her."Come on! Let's head back to the hotel."Quinn revved up the engine and sped off in the Cullinan. She had always been known for her fast driving.Meanwhile, Zayn watched with a mischievous glint in his eye. It was truly over for Xavier. After all, Xavier, who had always been so restrained, had completely lost control of himself ever since meeting Quinn.Quinn didn't utter a single word on the drive back, while Xavier kept his gaze fixed on her.What exactly did he have to do to make Quinn stay with him? Xavier had been mulling over this question for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solution.Before long, Quinn pulled up at the hotel. Xavier

    Xavier genuinely wanted to make Quinn—this heartless woman—pay dearly in bed. Yet, in the end, it was he who had completely succumbed to her.That night, every conceivable spot in the living room bore witness to their activities. Ultimately, Quinn even passed out from their intense lovemaking.Xavier carried Quinn to the bathroom and meticulously washed her. Afterward, he dried her hair and carried her to the bed."What must I do to win your heart, little fox?" Xavier asked as he sat on the floor while leaning against the bed. He had a cigarette in his mouth, and he looked extremely forlorn. He knew that she had been all about physicality and never about feelings from the very beginning. Quinn slept exceptionally well that night. She normally had poor sleep quality, but after every intimate encounter with Xavier, she would sleep very soundly. After all, such activities were truly physically draining.As soon as she woke up, Xavier had already arranged for breakfast to be sent ove

    Didn't that indicate that Quinn was physically weaker than Xavier?Xavier honestly had no idea what he had done to upset her. He even tried to placate her, but Quinn wasn't having any of it."I'm leaving now," Quinn said before turning and walking out the door.Xavier followed behind to see her off. Upon reaching the door, he grabbed Quinn's hand."Cut it out, Xavier!"Xavier pulled Quinn into a hug and said, "Alright, alright. I'll be gentler next time. Please don't be upset with me."He realized he had gone overboard last night. He had caused Quinn's voice to turn hoarse from all the shouting.Quinn rolled her eyes at him. She would have been a complete idiot to believe a word he said."I really have to leave now."Xavier handed her a box of throat lozenges and said, "Here, have this. Your voice is completely hoarse.""Whose fault is that, huh?" Quinn retorted angrily. Xavier grinned sheepishly and said, "It's all my fault. I'm the one to blame here."After popping a loz

    "I'm really struggling here in Dudore without you, Ms. Quinn. I honestly feel lost without you," Edgar stated solemnly. He had been following Quinn for years, and he had seen his fair share of challenges. Yet, he recognized the stakes of this exam, which required him to exercise extra caution."I'll wrap up the matters in Jipsfort soon and immediately head over to Dudore. You shouldn't worry so much, Edgar. Can you have a little more faith in yourself? You're doing a fantastic job," Quinn stated confidently. She was sure that the people she had personally chosen were completely reliable. "Alright then," Edgar replied.Devin arrived ten minutes later. Quinn had broken his hand yesterday. He was still wearing a cast.He looked at Lorraine with a sinister glint in his eyes and said, "Are you absolutely certain you want to go through with this divorce, Lorraine? I'm giving you one last chance to reconsider."Lorraine was truly disappointed in Devin and felt utterly drained from the r

    After dealing with the divorce at the courthouse, Quinn and Lorraine returned to the hotel. As noon came by, Gwendolyn decided to treat Xavier to lunch, and she had already decided on the restaurant."You really don't have to treat him to a meal, Grandma," Quinn said. She and Xavier were not in that kind of relationship that called for such familiarity, after all. "He did us a favor last time. It would be rude not to return the kindness," Gwendolyn stated firmly. Although she had fallen from grace in recent years, she still valued manners and etiquette."You should just let your grandmother treat him to a meal. After all, he was a big help to us at the borderlands."Quinn merely nodded and said, "Alright, if you both insist."Given that Gwendolyn and Lisa were both quite insistent about it, she decided to let them have their way. And besides, it was merely a simple meal."Why don't you go get Mr. Patterson? We'll head over to the restaurant together.""Got it. You should head o

    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
