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

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
