Chapter 412

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Nadia felt utterly exhausted after the whirlwind of the day. Thankfully, the outcome had been positive.

"Quinny, I'm so glad I had you by my side. If it weren't for you all, I would have completely broken down like that girl."

The feeling of being wronged was terrible. Only those who had experienced the sense of powerlessness could truly understand.

Quinn wrapped her arm around Nadia's shoulder.

"You wouldn't, Nads. You're always strong. Even without me, you would have handled this situation just fine."

As Nadia's best friend, Quinn couldn't bear to see her go through such pain. She hoped Nadia would never have to experience that kind of suffering.

"It might not be all bad, though. At least your brand is getting a lot of attention now," Xavier chimed in. He was seeing it from a different angle.

"Great designer, you'd better prepare yourself. You're famous now," Quinn joked.

"By the way, Quinny, are you really going to invest in my brand?"

"Why would I joke about this? Just go

    Listening to music and sipping on drinks was the perfect way to unwind, and Nadia loved this atmosphere.Quinn gave a quick glance at the stage, where the young singer had just looked their way. Their eyes met.Meanwhile, Nadia quickly fell silent. Xavier's intense gaze was somewhat intimidating.This really wasn't a big deal—many young women frequented this place."What do you think of him?" he asked Quinn. He was curious if she was also attracted to this type of guy.Quinn didn't bother responding to his pointless question. "Let's find a spot over there."She felt exhausted today and just wanted to relax with a drink. She did not want to think about anything else.She found a spot to sit down, and the other three joined her.Ian couldn't stop staring at the singer on stage. He didn't think he was any less attractive. Moreover, he could sing too."Nadia, do you like guys who can sing?" he asked suddenly.Nadia nodded enthusiastically. "His voice is amazing! Plus, who doesn't

    Ian strummed a few chords on the guitar and quickly found his rhythm.It had been a while since he'd sung, but seeing Nadia gaze at the singer on stage sparked something in him.If she liked guys like that, then he could be one too. He wanted Nadia to notice him as a man, not just as a brotherly figure."This song is for you," he said, not mentioning Nadia's name, but her heart raced at his words.She had always known Ian was a great guy, charming even, but she never considered the possibility of them being together.Now, as he said that, her resolve began to waver. She clutched Quinn's hand tightly. "What do I do, Quinn? I feel like I'm losing control!"Her mind was racing with thoughts she felt she shouldn't entertain."Just go for it! Why deny yourself?"On stage, Ian had started singing. His good looks paired with his beautiful voice made him shine. He wasn't any worse than the singer earlier.Nadia felt as though his performance was meant just for her. She was utterly ent

    Quinn shook her head. "No thanks." She didn't want to hear Xavier's confession. Things were fine the way they were."Forget it, then," Xavier huffed. He felt that she was really heartless. He wanted to sing for her, and she didn't even want that.Quinn was speechless.Wasn't he the one who asked? She was just being honest. That shouldn't be wrong. Why was he upset now? How could he be so petty?Quinn continued sipping her drink. Alcohol really did help her relax.In the bar, someone was celebrating a birthday, and they started singing the birthday song.Nadia nudged Quinn. "Quinny, your birthday is coming up soon. What are you planning to do? It's been ages since we celebrated together. I'm definitely celebrating with you this time."For the past five years, all Nadia could do on Quinn's birthday was make a phone call. Just thinking about it made her feel sad."I'm not doing anything special."Quinn was turning 20. She wasn't into celebrating birthdays anymore."How could you

    "I'm going to the restroom," Nadia made an excuse to leave.Upon seeing this, Quinn followed. What was Nadia even thinking? If she didn't want Ian to go, she should just say it directly.Why make herself suffer alone?When Nadia came out of the restroom, she found Quinn already waiting. She was lazily leaning against the railing. That pose was as alluring as ever.However, many people didn't dare approach her. Now, Quinn had a complex vibe, and most people wouldn't dare provoke her.Nadia walked over and leaned on the railing beside her."What's wrong? Can't bear to see Ian leave? If you really can't, just tell him you like him. Wouldn't that solve everything?"If Nadia asked Ian to stay, he definitely wouldn't leave.Nadia shook her head."He's still young. His future holds endless possibilities. He's going back to take an exam. How can I stop him?"Ian was going for the exam for a research institute. That was the dream of so many people. How could she hold him back? To her,

    Quinn wasn't someone who would give in easily. She responded boldly, and Xavier loved how daring she was.To keep the driver from seeing them kiss, Xavier used his body to shield her.They kissed passionately and were unable to part with one another.The driver, who was still in the car, remained silent. Well, they were youngsters. Once they got caught up in the moment, they wouldn't care about anything else.Since there weren't any other orders coming in, he figured he could wait a bit longer.Finally, after over ten minutes, Xavier reluctantly let her go."Go inside. Do you need me to walk you in?""No, you can head back." Quinn freed herself from his embrace before heading into the villa.The villa was quiet. Some of the bodyguards were still awake.After noticing Quinn had returned, they turned on the lights for her. "Welcome back, Ms. Quinn."All the bodyguards chosen to work here for Lisa were people Quinn trusted deeply."It's late. Get some rest." Quinn greeted them

    Back home, Nadia lay in bed and called Quinn."What's wrong?" Quinn had just finished showering and wasn't asleep yet."I don't really know. I just feel a bit down." After all, Nadia had spent so much time with Ian, and there had been a subtle hint of flirtation between them."Get some sleep. If you still feel this way in the morning, just confess to him," Quinn said boldly.Nadia pulled the blanket over her. "Alright, if I still feel this way tomorrow, I'll rush to the airport to tell him how I feel."After saying that, she laughed.They chatted for a bit longer before finally falling asleep.…Meanwhile, Araminta had thought she'd successfully gotten Quinn into prison, only to find that she had come out of the SEC after a short while.Of course, she couldn't accept this.When she found out that Quinn and Nadia were planning to start their own brand together, her discomfort grew even more.She genuinely couldn't understand where things had gone wrong. Wasn't she the one who

    Kimberly tried calling Simon, but he didn't pick up. In the end, she went straight to Xandor Villa to look for him.When Shelly saw her, her attitude wasn't very pleasant."What are you doing here, Kimberly? Haven't you already hooked up with another man? What do you take Simon for? How can you be so shameless, just like your mother?"Kimberly had not come here to argue, so she tried to hold back her frustration."Shelly, this is between Simon and me, and that matter was really a misunderstanding. Is Simon inside? I just want to talk to him for a bit." Kimberly felt awful.Shelly blocked her way. She refused to let her in."Simon said he doesn't want to see you. Just leave!" She was determined to make things difficult for Kimberly.Their family had become a joke in Jipsfort because of Kimberly and Araminta."Simon, I know you're in there! Come out! Let's sort this out." Kimberly truly didn't want things to remain unclear like this.She was his fiancée, yet he had never believe

    It was late at night when a sports car sped recklessly through the private villa area.Kimberly drove her car straight into the gates of Windhaven Villa. They didn't budge the first time, so she reversed, gathered more speed, and slammed into it again.The security guards inside the villa heard the commotion and immediately got up to investigate.What they saw was a car repeatedly crashing into their gate.The gate of Windhaven Villa was specially reinforced, making it impossible for Kimberly to break through.Inside, Gwendolyn, Lisa, and everyone else woke up."What's going on? What's happening outside?" Gwendolyn asked, worried.Lisa had just woken up as well. "I'll go check," she said.However, Gwendolyn grabbed her hand. "Don't go, Lisa. I'm scared..." Gwendolyn was deeply concerned for Lisa.Just then, Lorraine also came out of her room. "What's going on? Is someone trying to break down our gate?"Stay here with Mom. I'll go check. Don't worry.

    "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
