Chapter 421

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
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.

    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

    Before long, the square was filled with more people.Although Four Seasons Incorporated had been in the spotlight recently, everyone merely treated it as nothing more than a wealthy family scandal involving a mistress climbing up the social ladder. Yet, no one had expected the mistress to be so ruthless. She had driven a perfectly normal person to the brink of insanity. They orchestrated scenes to frame her for infidelity, smeared her with claims of mental instability, and hurled cruel insults. And to make matters worse, they actually committed those despicable acts directly in Lisa's presence.Araminta was petrified. It had to be Gerald's doing! Didn't he assure her that he had already deleted all those videos? How could they still be around? What was he trying to do? What could he possibly gain from this?All those reporters who had been bribed by Araminta were rendered speechless. In the face of irrefutable evidence, all their previous grand statements seemed utterly meaningl

    "What else have you people done to Ms. Gatrell? She has always been a source of pride for Jipsfort. If you hadn't schemed against her five years ago, Four Seasons Incorporated would have undoubtedly achieved greater heights."In the past, the rise of Four Seasons Incorporated had solved the employment issues of many individuals in Jipsfort.At that very moment, a car suddenly pulled up at the roadside—Baxter had brought Shania along to the scene. Although she was reluctant to step out of the car, Baxter forcefully dragged her out."How can you be so selfish, Shania? Don't you care about Simon and Shelly's well-being?" Baxter demanded. He thought she could be indifferent to everything except their children.All the reporters on the scene were caught off guard by Shania's sudden appearance. A throng of them armed with cameras swarmed toward her and asked, "Are you aware of what Maurice and Araminta did five years ago, Mrs. Xandor? What role did you play in these events five years ago

    "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
