Chapter 449

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Xavier hung up the moment he finished speaking. He dialed his mother's number instead.

At the moment, Lydia Stenson was lying in her hospital bed. She wasn't actually seriously ill. Her blood pressure was simply a little high.

Upon receiving a call from Xavier, Lydia couldn't help but complain, "Xavier, do you even remember that you have a mother? I thought you'd already forgotten me!"

She was incredibly dissatisfied that he hadn't visited her the last time he was in Dudore.

"How's your health, Mom?" Xavier asked in concern.

Lydia assured him that she was well and that he didn't need to worry.

"Xav, you're not young anymore." Lydia abruptly changed the topic. "It's about time you get yourself a girlfriend. Do you have your eyes on any ladies?"

At the question, Xavier cast a glance toward the young lady next to him. She was playing on her phone.

She looked completely uninterested in who he was on the phone with.

Lydia had been extremely proactive about introducing eligible youn

    Passion ignited between them once more. Neither of them was the type to dance around each other, and Quinn had already discovered the fun in the act.Another round of lovemaking ensued.

    Upon finding out that Quinn was dining here, Nadia indicated that she would come over to meet her and go shopping together.No sooner had Samuel left than Nadia showed up. It was sweltering outside, and she was busy fanning herself, saying, "You won't believe the dressing-down I got from my father this morning, Quinny. "I was all set to tell them about my plans to pursue opportunities in Dudore, but after his scolding, I didn't dare to say a word.""It's fine if you can't go. You can still thrive in Jipsfort," Quinn said, assuring her that she wouldn't pressure her into going to Dudore."How can I not go? Jipsfort just doesn't have the same fashion opportunities as Dudore. I'm not sure how to break the news to my parents since I don't want to upset them."After saying that, they both perused the stores in the mall.It was Quinn's birthday soon, but Nadia still hadn't found the perfect gift for her.Quinn, on the other hand, wasn't really shopping for anything.Along the way, N

    After much deliberation, Samuel shook his head, unable to work up the courage to tell Quinn how he felt."No, I don't have feelings for you." Samuel denied. Even if he couldn't be with Quinn, he still wanted to remain by her side rather than be entirely shut out."It's best if you don't get involved with me, Mr. Kane. I'm not capable of a serious relationship. Please don't develop feelings for me, because you'll only end up getting hurt," Quinn dryly said."Alright," Samuel replied. It was obvious that Quinn didn't have feelings for him, so it was fortunate that he didn't confess his feelings earlier. He really didn't want things to end before they even had a chance to begin.Samuel then started drinking heavily. He'd either had too much too fast, or his emotional state had made him more susceptible to its effects. Either way, he started to feel unwell.When Nadia got back, she found Samuel engaged in heavy drinking. She nudged Quinn's arm and asked, "What did you say to him? Wh

    "Please have mercy and let me go, Quinny! We're sisters, after all!" Kimberly pleaded.Quinn slammed the wine glass down on the table and hardened her gaze. "I'm my mother's only daughter. Who the hell do you think you are, calling yourself my sister?" Quinn snapped, showing no mercy.Under the weight of so many stares, Kimberly's face paled."You're so shameless, Kimberly! Your mother was a mistress—and an evil one at that. How could Ms. Quinn possibly consider you her sister?""Didn't her mother used to be a hostess? Maurice probably isn't even her father! There's a chance that he had foolishly raised someone else's kid."Given that she was previously backed by Four Seasons Incorporated and Xandor Group, Kimberly had been arrogant and dismissive of others. Yet, now that the Jowells and Xandors were in a crisis, these people had turned their backs on her.Kimberly clenched her fists and asked, "What exactly do I have to do for you to forgive me, Quinny?""Are you trying to forc

    Upon seeing Xavier come all this way to pick Quinn up in the pouring rain, Nadia couldn't help but feel a bit envious.As soon as Samuel caught sight of Xavier, he felt a pang of sadness. He couldn't shake the feeling that Quinn treated Xavier differently."We'll be off then," Quinn said as stood up and left with Xavier.Xavier had brought two umbrellas along and handed one to Nadia."Thanks, Xavier! I'll catch a cab home. You can give Quinny a ride instead," Nadia said. She knew that she had hogged Quinn for quite some time, so it was time for her to let go."It's alright. I'll drop you off at your place first. It'll be hard for you to hail a cab in this rain," Xavier said.And besides, Nadia couldn't possibly drive after having a few drinks.As Quinn and the others left the chill bar, Kimberly was still standing in the rain, drenched from head to toe."Is she trying to garner sympathy now?" Nadia bitterly asked. Did she plan on cornering Quinn with this tactic?As soon as

    After saying their piece, Quinn and Xavier walked toward their car."Are you really faking it, Kimberly? You can't be serious! I can't believe you'd pretend to faint!""You should get up now, Kimberly. They've already left."It was raining so hard that the ground was a muddy mess now.Kimberly was mortified. She had never thought that they would ignore her like that. It seemed like Quinn's mental fortitude was rather strong considering how impervious she was to others' criticism.Just then, a stray dog suddenly darted toward them. Upon seeing Kimberly lying on the ground, it bit into her leg.Kimberly cried out in pain.She struggled violently against the dog's grip but couldn't escape. It seemed like the stray dog hadn't eaten in days, and all it cared about was having a decent meal.Upon witnessing the scene before them, the onlookers didn't dare intervene. The dog looked very vicious and menacing, after all.It wasn't until the police were called that Kimberly was finally

    "I think I did an excellent job as well," Quinn stated. She wasn't one to beat herself up with such trivial matters. These days, no matter what she did, her top priority was her own well-being."You're truly the best," Xavier said as he gently patted her head. His gentleness made it easy for Quinn to lose herself in it.He then said, "Alright then. Go run yourself a hot bath and remember to dry your hair afterward. If it seems like too much work, feel free to call me. I'm more than happy to help you with it.""You don't have to concern yourself with that. Go take a shower. I'll get you a bathrobe," Quinn said as she walked away to grab him a bathrobe.The guest room was fully equipped with all amenities, so Xavier could make himself at home.After her shower, Quinn didn't go to bed in her own room. Instead, she went to join Lisa on the bed.At that moment, Lisa was tossing and turning because of the storm. She was a bit frightened of it.Quinn wrapped her arms around Lisa's wais

    Given how convoluted Dudore was, Lisa decided it would be best if she didn't follow along. She didn't want to hold Quinn back, after all. "Got it, Mom. I'll take good care of myself. You have to take good care of yourself too, okay?"Also, Luna recently took over Four Seasons Incorporated. She's still not familiar with many things, so if you have time, maybe you could give her some guidance."Luna had suddenly been handed such a huge responsibility, so she was naturally quite nervous about it."Alright, I'll stop by if I have the time," Lisa said. She still cared a lot about Four Seasons Incorporated and was eager to dive back into her career again. She wanted to revisit those plans she had to put on hold five years ago.And so, Lisa and Quinn stayed in bed, quietly talking to each other.It was only when Gwendolyn knocked on the door to call them down for breakfast that they finally got out of bed.Apparently, Xavier and Gwendolyn had prepared breakfast together.Gwendolyn ha

    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
