Quinn extended her hand to Luna. "I look forward to working with you."Luna shook Quinn's hand firmly.At the end of the day, Quinn was still Maurice's daughter, so he wouldn't let the employees see how embarrassed he was. He arranged an office for Quinn."Quinn, no matter what, you're my daughter. Do your best with this. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I won't ignore you just because we're competing."Quinn couldn't be bothered to respond. Anyway, Maurice didn't care. His project team was made up of the best talents from Four Seasons Incorporated. The project manager was the top of the line, so Maurice was confident in the project's success. As for Quinn, he intended to show her that, no matter what, he would always be her father.As Maurice left, he ran into Luna. "Ms. Lewitt, do a good job. Quinn is young and inexperienced. You have to help her out."Luna smiled. "Don't worry, Mr. Jowell. I will."Maurice gave a smirk and walked away. After that, Luna knocked

Luna took charge of the hiring process and posted job openings online. As the sole leader of the project team, she had to recruit the necessary members herself.After a rigorous screening process, she narrowed it down to five candidates. Quinn met with them personally. When the five candidates saw that both the persons-in-charge were so young, they couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy."Ms. Jowell, is it really just going to be the seven of us for such a big project?" On top of that, Quinn was a shareholder and wouldn't be personally involved, meaning there were really only six of them.At the moment, Quinn was flipping through the files with their information. As always, Luna's work was reliable. These five candidates had their own unique strengths, but they were all fresh out of college with no experience."Yes, just the seven of us." Quinn set down the files."This project is a tough one. Since our company launched it, it's been stalled for a long time. What are your thoughts?

Before 4:00 pm, Quinn left the office to meet Edgar.As soon as Edgar saw her, he went and poured her a glass of water. "Ms. Quinn, I'm really sorry I can't contribute to the project. I'm just not good at it," Edgar said, clearly dejected.Quinn gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder. "Everyone has their own strengths. You've done plenty to help already. How's the research institute shaping up?" Quinn asked."We're all set for the first exam next month. I've got the exam plan ready," Edgar said, handing her a document.Quinn glanced over the plan. Seeing how Edgar had grown into someone reliable, she nodded in approval."Head over to Dudore and get everything ready for the exam. You'll be in charge of it from start to finish," Quinn said.After wrapping up her tasks, Quinn headed out to meet Nadia for their dinner.Nadia had been free in the afternoon, so she had shown up early to secure a spot in queue at the restaurant for Quinn.To Quinn's surprise, she ran into Xavier th

"Nads, I don't do well with trouble, and falling in love is the biggest trouble of all."Nadia had known that Quinn was skeptical about love, but she hadn't realized just how deep that skepticism ran."Quinny, not all men are like your father." Nadia wondered if Quinn was truly going to let Maurice's mistakes dictate the rest of her life. Would she let one man's failings cast a shadow over her future and forsake the possibility of love entirely?"Nads, I'm not going to invest my hopes in any man."Men would always be the same. They would be charming and attentive while they were trying to win you over, but once the novelty wore off, they would become completely different people.Quinn returned with the two dips, one of which she had deliberately spiked with extra hot sauce for Xavier.She handed him the spicier dip with a mischievous grin. "I'm not exactly a dip expert; I hope you don't mind."Xavier caught on immediately—she'd loaded his dip with hot sauce, while her own was

Quinn could taste the spicy flavor on Xavier's lips.Finally, he released her. She sat on his lap while he leaned against her chest, trying to calm the turmoil within him. Quinn couldn't deny that she felt something, too. She was only 20 years old, and they had been intimate before. Now, just a little teasing from him was enough to push her over the edge.Her body responded despite herself. Quinn instinctively tried to press her legs together."Do you want to? Should we get a hotel room?" Xavier asked, his voice husky with desire. "Quinn, isn't it better to be honest about what your body wants? Why hide it?"He could already sense her arousal.Quinn grabbed his chiseled chin, her grip firm. "Xavier, it's just a basic instinct."She tried to get off his lap, but his grip on her slender waist tightened. He refused to let her go. "Just let me hold you a bit longer," he murmured.He didn't want this either. But whenever she was closeby, his body refused to obey him.Quinn didn't

Xavier's mood brightened at Quinn's words. "Well, woman, you've got good taste," he said with a grin, his arm tightening around her waist as he cast a mocking glance at Simon's furious face."Being handsome doesn't mean much if you don't have money," Simon taunted. "Can he give you the best life?""Just having him by my side is the best life I could ask for. You wouldn't understand that," Quinn retorted with unyielding confidence.She gave Simon a scornful glance, her eyes flicking to his groin with a contemptuous look that spoke volumes.Simon's rage was palpable, and his frustration reached a boiling point. Quinn was questioning his capabilities!When they had been together, he had still been young, and Quinn had never allowed him to touch her. She had no idea how skilled he was in bed."Oh, really? I'll show you just how capable I am," Simon growled.He didn't bother with more words. With a sharp nod to his men, he signaled for them to move.The bodyguards surged forward, su

Simon's fists clenched tightly. He was seething with hatred. How could Xavier dared treat him like this?Around them, people pointed and whispered. Simon kept his head down, for he was terrified that someone might recognize him as the heir to the Xandor family.Not even one of the dozens of bodyguards from the Xandor family dared to step forward.Xavier had grown tired of Simon constantly harassing of Quinn. With pure disdain in his eyes, he delivered a few more brutal kicks at Simon."Stop it! If you keep hitting him, he'll die," a girl nearby cried out. Even though Simon had said terrible things, beating him to death wasn't the answer."Is he your boyfriend? You should talk him down," she added, glancing nervously at Quinn."Let's go," Quinn said, finally stepping in.With so many people watching, Xavier knew it was time to back down. "Alright," he muttered.He wouldn't have listened to anyone else, but it was different when Quinn spoke. He followed her, his aggression meltin

After dealing with Simon, Xavier felt unexpectedly lighthearted.They meandered along the river's edge, the evening air cool and invigorating.Quinn walked ahead, her long hair billowing in the breeze. The elegant cut of her tailored suit accentuated her slender waist, making her look effortlessly stunning.Xavier's eyes were irresistibly drawn to her.When Quinn glanced back, she caught him staring at her with deep, almost reverent admiration.In that moment, her heart raced. The intensity of Xavier's gaze was captivating—no woman could remain indifferent to such a mesmerizing man.The instant she turned back to look at him was burned into Xavier's memory. Her glance was mesmerizing, a perfect snapshot of beauty that left him breathless.He couldn't help but close the distance, drawing her into a gentle embrace.The scene was idyllic—until Quinn's heel came down hard on his foot, breaking the spell."What are you doing?" she asked sharply.The pain in his foot was sharp, but

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
