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. Nothing will happen. We ha
However, no one was paying attention to Kimberly's desperate cries."Stop smashing! I'll get out myself!" Kimberly shouted.She was terrified that the shattered glass might cut her face. Finally, she opened the door and stepped out of the car.Lisa looked at her coldly.Kimberly resembled Araminta so much. It was obvious she was her daughter, even down to the disgusting things she did.Kimberly, on the other hand, had never thought she was in the wrong. She believed the messy entanglements between adults had nothing to do with her.After all, Araminta had known Maurice long before Lisa did. Kimberly never saw her mother as a homewrecker.But now, standing before this family, she suddenly didn't know what to say. "What are you going to do?" she asked.Quinn laughed as she was genuinely amused by her absurdity. "Shouldn't I be asking you that, Kimberly? Are you out of your mind?"No sane person would pull something like this.Kimberly couldn't come up with a retort."Mom, take
As soon as Maurice walked in, he saw the damaged main gate, and his head started throbbing. He couldn't understand what had gotten into Kimberly lately. She had always been so well-behaved, but now she was acting erratically.He was at his wit's end with her antics. Despite knowing that Quinn wasn't someone to be trifled with, she still went ahead and provoked her."That—""Shut up! I don't want to hear another word from you," Quinn snapped. She completely dismissed him.At that moment, Xavier, having somehow gotten wind of what was happening, arrived on the scene.Upon seeing the damaged main gate, Xavier's expression turned extremely grim. It was clear that Kimberly was trying to kill someone here!As soon as she spotted Xavier, Kimberly's panic intensified. After all, he had always appeared very frightening to her."Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" Xavier asked. He only cared about Quinn's well-being.Quinn shook her head and yawned lazily. She slumped deeper into the rec
Araminta's face flushed with embarrassment. She had never met anyone from the Gatrell family since she got together with Maurice. Yet, when she heard Gwendolyn's remarks, it felt as if she had been struck across the face.What had she done to deserve this, though? All she had done was pursue what she desired!Araminta then glanced at Lisa. She had always been envious of Lisa—a woman blessed with both beauty and wealth. It felt like the world had conspired to give Lisa everything she could ever want. Yet now, Lisa seemed so frail. It was as if the slightest breeze could blow her off her feet. "Let's head in, Mom. We'll let Quinny take care of this," Lisa said. It was impossible for Lisa not to resent Araminta. She was the one who had pushed her to the brink of madness, after all!"Please let go of Kimberly, Lisa! She's done nothing wrong," Maurice said. He was unable to remain silent any longer.He had pinned all his hopes on Kimberly. If she could get into the research institute
"Alright," Xavier said softly. Given that they were at Windhaven Villa, where both Lisa and Gwendolyn were present, he didn't dare to push his luck.He held her for a moment before letting her go. As she disappeared up the stairs, he turned and walked slowly to his car. After returning to his car, he lit a cigarette and smoked it before driving off.It wasn't until she heard the engine fade into the distance that Quinn finally drifted off to sleep.…On the following day, Xavier personally drove Ian to the airport.Although he was aware that Nadia wouldn't come to see him off, Ian still held onto the hope of seeing her at the airport.It was estimated that the exam would take about three months, which meant a three-month separation from Nadia.He couldn't help but wonder if she would be seeing someone else in that period. After all, there had been no commitments between them—only a hint of flirtation.Upon noticing Ian's persistent gaze out the window, Xavier gave him a reassur
Quinn merely hummed in agreement with Nadia's declaration.Upon returning, Xavier joined their conversation about the previous night's show and offered his positive feedback.Nadia was undeniably a very talented fashion designer. There was no doubt she was destined for great things.Upon hearing their compliments, Nadia was genuinely delighted. "Thank you for always having my back, guys. I'll definitely do my best."As soon as their coffee arrived, Xavier started sipping on it.It was mostly Nadia and Quinn talking. They always had endless things to talk about, with Nadia typically leading the discussion and Quinn responding to it. There was an unspoken understanding between them that others couldn't quite grasp.After a while, Nadia suddenly received a call from her family. She had been so occupied lately that she hadn't had a chance to return home for dinner. Her family had issued an ultimatum. They were demanding her immediate return home today.Given that she actually wanted
Quinn couldn't help but laugh and say, "If someone intentionally crashed into your house and killed your parents, would you graciously forgive them as well?""Aren't there no casualties in this incident?" the reporter insisted, trying to downplay the incident."How can you be so certain that there was no harm done? I was terrified! And who are you to say what I should or shouldn't feel? You shouldn't stick your nose into someone else's business!" Quinn snapped at the reporters. Some of these so-called reporters were truly despicable. They did stuff that was anything but humane.At that time, it was also these kinds of reporters who had cornered Lisa in the same manner. It was clear that some words could indeed drive someone to despair."Why, you!" That reporter was astonished that Quinn dared to act so brazenly in front of the camera. Did she really have no fear at all?Meanwhile, the footage of Kimberly violently ramming her car into the main gate of the villa dramatically shifte
Araminta went on and on. She subtly hinted that Quinn and Simon were still involved with each other, and Kimberly’s actions were a result of being emotionally triggered by them. All in all, she was trying to say that Kimberly wasn't the one at fault in this situation. "I know you have a history with Simon, but he's engaged with Kimberly now, Quinn. How can you still be getting involved with him?""It's clear that Kimberly is deeply in love with Simon. You're really taking things too far, Quinn."Upon hearing that, Quinn couldn't help but find the situation amusing. These reporters were truly unbelievable."How much did Araminta actually pay you to say all that? And besides, I've truly never cared about Simon and Kimberly.""Is that so? If you're truly unconcerned, then why did Simon insist on breaking up with Kimberly?""Do I look like Kimberly's mother? Why should I care about her personal relationships? Or perhaps you want to take on the role of Kimberly's mother instead in o
