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
Nadia felt that the best option was to send her directly to the hospital. What a mess! Tonight was supposed to be her graduation showcase.The venue manager brought out the contract, which clearly stated that the reservation ended yesterday."I'm really sorry, Ms. Sullivan, but we have to dismantle this venue now," the manager said helplessly."How about this? I can pay more. Tonight is incredibly important to me. It can't go wrong," Nadia pleaded.The manager shook his head. "It's not that we want to make things difficult for you, Ms. Sullivan, but someone has booked the venue for today. No matter how much more you offer, we can't do anything about it."Nadia felt devastated.Sensing her distress, Ian pulled her aside."Don't worry, Nadia. I'll handle this," Ian said calmly. He understood just how important this showcase was for Nadia. She had put so much effort into it."What should we do, Ian? I've worked so hard, and now, at the last moment, it's all falling apart! I don't
Ian was still fuming, so he kicked Logan one more time.Logan's girlfriend, Abby Petersen, was in shock. She rushed to Logan's side."Logan, are you okay? They went too far! How could they hit you? I'm calling the police. I'm calling the police!" she said furiously.Logan, who was battered and bruised, glared at Ian. "You're done for! How dare you hit me?""You think I'm afraid of you?" Ian replied nonchalantly. He didn't see any fault in dealing with trash.Logan called the police, but Ian stayed put.Meanwhile, Nadia grew anxious. "What do you want, Logan? He's only 19. Don't do anything to him." She shielded Ian."Don't worry, Nadia. I'm not afraid, even if the police come. It's just a fight. Don't worry." Ian just didn't like Logan."Look at how protective you are of him, Nadia. Have you slept with him? I didn't know that you like this kind of—""Logan Wallace!" Nadia was so furious that she wanted to strike Logan as well.Quinn and Xavier arrived before the police did.
Logan's eyes were clouded with anger. "Fine. Let's see how you'll hold your showcase tonight.""Fuck you!" Nadia was disgusted. How had she ever met such a despicable person? She truly lowered her standards for him."Don't worry. The show will go on as scheduled," Quinn reassured Nadia.Logan scoffed. He was clearly unconvinced.Just then, Quinn pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Yes, that's right. Buy the venue at the design school."Logan was speechless.Buy the venue? Was he hearing things, or was she out of her mind?Anyone could talk big. She might as well say that she was buying the entire design school."It's ridiculous how pretentious people can be these days. You really see every kind of person out there."Logan didn't believe that this woman, who looked younger than him, could actually buy the venue.Likewise, Abby found it amusing.Did they have any idea how expensive the rent for this venue was? She doubted Quinn knew how much the venue was.Xavier nodde
The venue manager got off the phone with his boss, who informed him that the venue was sold. He could either continue working here or resign.He stared at the young woman before him in disbelief. How could such a young lady wield so much power?"Ms. Jowell, can I continue working here? I really need this job," the manager asked anxiously."Of course," Quinn replied calmly. "Don't worry, none of the staff will be affected. You can all continue working here."After all, they hadn't done anything wrong. There was no reason for her to fire them."What's going on?" Logan couldn't believe his ears. Did this young lady really buy this venue?"By the way, make sure to cancel his rental agreement. Someone like him has no right to use our venue," Quinn said."What are you talking about? I've already paid the deposit!" Logan protested."Breach the contract. I'll cover the penalty," Quinn said dismissively.Logan panicked instantly. His show was just three days away. The venue had been bo
