The model couldn't help but feel intimidated by Quinn. Was it just his imagination? After all, she was just an ordinary young lady, so why did she seem so intimidating?Once the model left, Xavier pulled Quinn aside. "Why were you touching that guy?"Quinn was confused. What was he talking about? She was just helping the model adjust his outfit.Moreover, she came here to help, so she went wherever I was needed. What was the problem?"I just don't like seeing you get too close to other men. I hate it." She shouldn't be touching other men.Quinn ignored him as she was annoyed.When Nadia came over to get Quinn, the latter left without even glancing at Xavier.Xavier felt a pang of hurt, but Quinn wasn't the type to indulge his feelings.At that moment, Ian approached Xavier and handed him a cup of water."What's wrong, Xav? Are you upset? Don't worry. That model can't hold a candle to you. Quinny won't be interested in him."Xavier was speechless.How could that model even co
"What do you want to eat, Nads?" Quinn asked.After all, Nadia had worked so hard lately. She should get to choose what to eat."How about crayfish? It's my favorite," Nadia replied."Sure. Which shop do you prefer?""How about that place we went to last time? I think their crayfish is really good. What do you all think?" Nadia wanted to ask for their opinions. If they didn't like it, she could always choose something else."Sounds good. Let's go," Xavier said while already opening the car door for Quinn.Once Quinn was in the car, he closed the door and turned to Ian. "You guys follow us."As Xavier drove off, Nadia walked over to Ian, who opened the car door for her. "You must be exhausted. You can rest in the car. I'll wake you up when we arrive."Nadia nodded. She was indeed tired, but she was also excited.Ian started driving, and Nadia rolled down the window. She preferred fresh air over air conditioning.As she looked out, she saw a couple kissing by the roadside.Nad
Quinn joked to lighten the mood, but Nadia merely huffed in response.Quinn was such a jokester. She knew Nadia didn't have the guts to touch Ian."I saw Logan kissing that woman under the streetlight. Honestly, they looked perfect together. I don't even know why I'm so upset. Aren't you supposed to want the person you like to be happy? Why can't I think that way? Am I a terrible person?"Seeing them so happily together made her feel like her unrequited love was even more bitter."Nads, there's no rule that defines who's good and who's bad. You haven't done anything wrong," Quinn said.Nadia was actually a really good person."I think Logan isn't good enough for you. You deserve someone better. Alright, don't be sad. Didn't you say that nothing a crayfish feast can't solve? If there is, then have two feasts. I'll be here with you," Quinn said."You're the best. Will you come with me for crayfish tomorrow too?" Nadia asked.Some things couldn't be changed no matter how much she
"Xavier, you really attract a lot of attention," Nadia said with irritation. Quinn would probably have a tough time if she really had feelings for Xavier."I haven't done anything," Xavier replied. He was just here peeling crayfish. It wasn't like he could do anything to those women looking at him."Honestly, a man like you would make any lady feel insecure."He attracted too much attention.Xavier glanced at Quinn. "Do you think so too?" He was only concerned about her opinion.Quinn frowned. What did it have anything to do with her?"Do as you please." She shrugged.Whether he was attracting attention or being sincere, it didn't matter to her. She never cared, nor had she ever thought they'd end up together.Seeing Xavier's eyes grow cold, Nadia regretted bringing up the topic.Xavier continued peeling crayfish but hadn't eaten any himself.Quinn had lost her appetite too.Was he angry? But he knew what kind of person she was from the beginning. If he felt uncomfortable, h
"Goodnight," Xavier replied.Quinn entered the house without any emotional fluctuations.Seeing her like this made Xavier feel a deep sense of frustration.He got into his car but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took several hard drags to suppress his agitation.Back in her room, Quinn found her family already asleep. She went to the window and saw Xavier's car still outside and unmoving.She picked up her phone and called him. "Go home. It's really late.""Okay.""Xavier, if you—""I've already told you, Quinn. I'm determined to be with you, so don't think about leaving me," Xavier interrupted before she could say anything.Quinn was rendered speechless.This man was really something else. She decided to let him be."Alright, get some rest. I'll leave soon." Realizing his tone had been off, Xavier quickly changed his approach."Okay."After ending the call, Quinn tossed her phone aside. She took a quick shower and hurried to bed before dawn.Whe
The employees continued to gossip."Is there going to be a problem? I've worked hard to get to where I am now. Please don't drag me into her mess.""Who knows? Financial issues are always serious. If it involves tax evasion, then…"Araminta and Maurice were also at Four Seasons Incorporated today.Despite the circumstances, Maurice still had shares in the company, so his presence there was not problematic.When they arrived, the SEC agents were already on site.Seeing them, Maurice looked at Araminta."Did you invite these people, Araminta? What have you done behind my back?"Araminta glared at him. "Didn't you say you weren't going to care? Suddenly interested now?""We're still married, Araminta. I promise I won't divorce you." He only wanted Kara to give birth to his son.Araminta found his words laughable. She no longer believed a word he said."Let's deal with Quinn first." They needed to reclaim the president position. With Four Seasons Incorporated under Quinn's contr
Ms. Jowell," Luna called out.She was just an ordinary person without connections or background. She didn't even know who to turn to for help in such a situation."Should we tell Ms. Gatrell?"Since Lisa was the former president of Four Seasons Incorporated, she must have known many influential people.Quinn patted her on the shoulder. "Really, it's fine, Luna. Don't be so anxious."At that moment, Maurice and Araminta arrived. Seeing Quinn being led away, both of them couldn't help but smile."Sir, rest assured. We will fully cooperate with the investigation," Maurice assured the SEC agents.Quinn didn't even glance at him. She decided to let him enjoy his moment of triumph. After all, his future would be nothing but disappointment.Araminta didn't show much outward reaction. Honestly, she was even more composed than Maurice. Unfortunately, she was just too wicked."Don't tell my mom. I don't want to let her worry. I can handle this on my own," Quinn instructed before walking
When Pablo heard that, he immediately assured, "I'm sorry, Mr. Patterson. My men didn't know. I'll go check on this right away."Xavier wasn't someone they could mess with. If he got upset, the SEC wouldn't have stood a chance against him. Xavier definitely had that kind of power.Meanwhile, Quinn was taken to an interrogation room. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by the place. She just carried on as usual.The agent across from her couldn't help but watch with curiosity.How could Quinn be so calm? No matter how impressive the person was, once they were here, they all acted submissively.But Quinn didn't react at all, as if she were just visiting an ordinary café for coffee."Let's begin," said one of the agents."Name?""Quinn Jowell.""You're the head of Four Seasons Incorporated, correct?""Yes.""So you are fully responsible for its financial issues.""Yes."The questions from the agents became increasingly intricate, but Quinn refused to acknowledge any wrongdoi
