Chapter 435

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
"Are you looking to resolve this issue or simply here to cause a scene? If you want to resolve it, then be quiet," Quinn said.

She didn't owe them anything. It was Shania who caused all these troubles, after all. She had only agreed to help out of the kindness of her heart. If she had refused, there was nothing they could have done about it either.

As soon as Quinn spoke up, everyone in the crowd fell silent and then turned to her.

"We're at our wit's end, Ms. Jowell! We can't afford to lose our jobs. We're just ordinary people trying to make ends meet. Please help us out."

"Exactly, Ms. Jowell! If Xandor Group actually goes under, what are we supposed to do? Where else would we seek employment?"

It wasn't just one or two people who were affected by Xandor Group. There were thousands of employees!

"Please help us, Ms. Jowell. We're really desperate here. We really can't afford to lose our livelihoods."

"I get that you're in a tight spot, but gathering here won't resolve anything

    As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Quinn received a call from Simon.Upon seeing that it was Simon calling, Quinn chose to ignore it. Yet, he kept calling, so she had no choice but to answer it.As soon as Quinn answered the phone, Xavier's expression turned grim. He wished Simon would just disappear at that moment. It was so annoying how he always interrupted their time together."Can we meet up, Quinny? I've got something to discuss with you regarding Xandor Group."He knew full well she didn't want to see him, but he went ahead and asked anyway because he wanted to discuss the escalating Xandor Group situation."I only have one thing to say about Xandor Group, Simon. It'll be acquired within three days," Quinn stated bluntly. Upon hearing that, Xavier couldn't help but laugh. He was suddenly thankful that he was on her side and not against her. Quinn was always direct and ruthless, no matter who she was dealing with.As soon as she noticed him laughing, Quinn rolled

    Yet, nowadays, Gwendolyn was constantly keeping herself busy. She would spend most of her days tending the garden."Have you considered bringing Mrs. Gatrell Senior and Ms. Gatrell to Dudore—"Quinn shook her head and said, "No."Despite everything that happened five years ago, Lisa still loved Jipsfort. She had always wanted to return to Jipsfort.Additionally, the air quality was superior here compared to Dudore, making it a more suitable environment for Lisa.Above all, Jipsfort was a much more peaceful place compared to Dudore.Xavier merely hummed in response and mused. Given their reluctance to move to Dudore, he started to consider the possibility of redirecting his career to Jipsfort. After all, he would never want her to feel uneasy."What are you thinking about?" Quinn asked, wondering if he was hoping that she would agree to go to Dudore with him.Given that Lightcloud Corporation was headquartered in Dudore and was the city's most prominent conglomerate, it was impo

    "You guys take care of yourselves," Xavier said before leaving them at the bar.As soon as they got in, Nadia ordered a ton of alcohol.Upon seeing her in such a state, Quinn didn't mind at all. If she wanted to drink, that was fine with her. After all, life was too short to be so strict with oneself."Are you feeling that down?""Oh, it's nothing. I'm just in the mood for a drink! You know how much I love hanging out with you over drinks," Nadia said. To her, drinking with Quinn felt really liberating with no hint of restraint."You're missing Ian, aren't you?" Quinn asked bluntly. She felt that there was no point pretending if you had feelings for someone. "Yeah, I do miss him. I didn't think he'd have such a big impact on me, considering how short our time together was. I was trying to concentrate on work today, but I couldn't stop thinking about him," Nadia said. She felt really frustrated with herself for feeling this way.Quinn raised her glass and said, "Why don't you ju

    "How are things going? You just got back, right? Are you settling in?" Xavier asked, knowing that Ian had to go to the research institute since it was the best option for him."I'm doing well, Xav. Please rest assured that I won't let you or my mother down!" Ian exclaimed. Although he was a bit playful for his age, he was mature enough to know what mattered most."Alright, you should turn in early," Xavier said before mentioning a couple more things and ending the call.Ian was captivated by Nadia's selfie, an allure that beckoned him to abandon all and seek her out. Yet, the harsh reality of his shortcomings held him back. He knew he must strive harder, and so he suppressed his yearning.Xavier was right around the corner, and since it was almost time, he headed over to the bar to pick them up.Upon his arrival, Nadia graciously yielded her place beside Quinn.After taking up so much of Quinn's time, Nadia felt a twinge of embarrassment."Alright, let's go. I'll take you home n

    "What if I told you there's something wrong with your telepathy tonight?" Quinn deliberately taunted him. After all, she had genuinely planned to stay at Nadia's tonight."I'm pretty sure it's working fine. It's a dark and breezy night, and the mood is rather pleasant. A night like this is ideal for some indulgence," Xavier said brazenly. They hadn't had the chance to indulge in themselves lately, and he was craving it.Quinn was rendered speechless. How could Xavier say that so brazenly? Yet again, he had always lived without restraint and pursued whatever he desired."Come on, let's go!" Xavier said. He took her hand and led her toward the car.He didn't consult with her and took it upon himself to drive straight back to Waterfront Villa. He had purchased this villa specifically to be close to her. Yet, to his surprise, she actually moved away from that area. Upon arriving at the villa, Quinn didn't act pretentious either. After all, after having a few drinks, it felt like the

    Quinn had no interest in the woman on the other end of the line. She had no intention of providing her with any explanation—as she deemed that it was unnecessary—so she directly hung up the phone.After that, she left the room with Xavier's phone.Upon seeing that Xavier wasn't in the bedroom, Quinn went in search of him. She eventually found him in the kitchen.Who would have thought that he would be practicing his cooking in the middle of the night? He had been studying more than usual recently. And given his intelligence, he picked things up pretty quickly.As soon as he noticed her coming down the stairs with water still dripping from her hair, Xavier couldn't help but frown and ask, "Why didn't you dry your hair?""There was a call for you, and I answered it by accident.""Oh, who was it?""I don't know."After washing his hands and drying them on a paper towel, Xavier walked over to her.Quinn handed him the phone, but he ignored it completely and pulled her to sit on th

    Quinn playfully bit Xavier's chin, which sent a spark of desire through them both.Xavier had planned to take his time, but in a moment of overwhelming desire, he couldn't hold back any longer and thrust straight in.His teasing earlier had already aroused Quinn. As a result, he was moving in perfect sync with her, and she was relishing every moment.Xavier had always understood that true intimacy was a two-way street. He had a natural ability to anticipate her needs and desires. He ensured that their moments together were always deeply satisfying.She had a very flexible body, so they experimented with a variety of positions. They went from the living room to the spacious bed in the bedroom. Xavier had enjoyed himself thoroughly that night.…Daphne thought Xavier would surely call her back. After all, he had promised her brother that he would take good care of her.Yet, after all that waiting, Xavier's call never came. She felt hurt and frustrated.She was feeling really upse

    And Daphne was no exception to his cold treatment either."Can I go to Jipsfort, Xav?" Daphne asked. Tears were streaming down her face.Xavier was at a loss for words. "You're already an adult, Daphne. You can decide for yourself what you want to do without consulting me."He had previously promised Daphne's brother that he would take care of her. However, Daphne was now at an age where she could take care of herself."You're free to do whatever you want now, Daphne. You should also consider finding someone to be in a relationship with," Xavier suggested. He thought that she would just overthink things if she had nothing to focus on. Moreover, he wasn't fond of women who engaged in such emotional turmoil.No matter how Daphne felt, Xavier wouldn't provide her with any chances. After all, he had always been steadfast and not the type to be easily swayed.Daphne was rendered speechless."Do you not want me anymore, Xav?" Daphne asked tentatively.Xavier furrowed his brow and rep

    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.

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
