"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
Quinn remained calm as ever.Araminta Axtell?Of course, Pablo had heard about the issues surrounding Four Seasons Incorporated and Araminta's name.Meanwhile, Xavier had arrived and was displeased to see that she hadn't come out yet. Did they have so many questions for her?It was already lunchtime. Quinn's stomach couldn't handle being empty; she had to eat on schedule for every meal.He immediately called Pablo. "I'm right outside. How much longer will this take? Even if there are issues with Four Seasons Incorporated's finance department, it definitely isn't Quinn's fault."Xavier's sharp tone made Pablo break into a sweat."Understood, Mr. Patterson. I'll make sure she's released immediately," Pablo said before hanging up."It's Xavier, isn't it? Don't worry about him. He and I have nothing to do with each other. Just handle things as you see fit." Quinn didn't want to make things difficult for the agents."We appreciate the information you've provided, Ms. Jowell. We'll
"Who else could it be? They must be celebrating right now," Quinn replied."We’ll just kill them," Xavier said. Maurice and Araminta would seize every opportunity to undermine Quinn, which was incredibly frustrating.Quinn shot him a glance."Xavier, this is Jipsfort, not the borderlands. Besides, killing them would be too easy on them." Quinn felt that the best revenge was to make them lose something they cared about."It doesn't matter where we are. If you find them bothersome, I'll handle them.""I said there’s no need.""Fine."When they arrived at the restaurant, the food was already served.Xavier served Quinn a bowl of soup and gave her a spoon."Let's eat first. Did you have breakfast?" He hadn't seen her this morning due to his own commitments."I did."Gwendolyn and Lisa had made breakfast. Ever since Gwendolyn arrived, Lisa's condition had been improving. Quinn was happy to see Lisa doing well.They ate together, with Xavier ordering all of Quinn's favorite dishe
At first, Quinn hadn't wanted to sleep, but once she was on the bed, her eyes grew heavy."Sleep well."Despite the bite, Xavier wasn't angry at all; he actually enjoyed indulging her.Quinn felt a bit uncomfortable being held like this.She had always been used to sleeping alone, so it was strange to have someone beside her.However, the steady rhythm of Xavier's breathing quickly lulled her to sleep. She slept soundly and peacefully.Xavier had also had a rough night. Seeing Quinn sleeping so soundly relaxed him. Before long, both were asleep.…Meanwhile, Ian had gone to find Nadia. When he arrived, Nadia had just gotten up.Since Ian was here to help, she didn't want to make him wait outside, so she invited him in. However, she had forgotten that she was still in her pajamas, which happened to be quite revealing.Ian was taken aback by the sight. He swallowed hard. "I think I'll wait outside. It's fine. Take your time. I'll be out here.""What's wrong? Afraid I'll do som
