Simon was furious as well, but he knew that anger wouldn't help the situation.Shelly simply snorted in response and then remained silent."I've already made it clear that our engagement is off, Kimberly. You're free to pursue other relationships from now on," Simon said.Upon hearing that, Kimberly's face immediately fell. "I've done everything I could to please you since that incident, Simon. I thought you'd see how much I care for you, but clearly you don't. You've never really loved me, have you?""Huh? You're really naive, Kimberly. Given the current circumstances, how can you even think about love? Aren't you being a bit too ridiculous at this point?" Shelly retorted. Kimberly couldn't take it anymore and stormed out of the car."You should stop worrying about anything else at this moment and concentrate on preparing for the research institute's exam, Simon. Your admission is essential for our family's future," Shelly stated.If Simon could secure a place in the research

"You should let them go, Mrs. Gatrell Senior! We can just stay home and rest," Nadia suggested. After all, it was unnecessary for so many people to go grocery shopping together.Meanwhile, Quinn was speechless. She really didn't feel like going grocery shopping."Why don't you just go by yourself?" she suggested to Xavier.However, Xavier refused outright, grabbed her hand, and dragged her out.Upon witnessing this, Gwendolyn felt immensely pleased. Although her daughters' marriages had been fraught with unexpected issues and poor choices in men, she still genuinely believed that Xavier was quite a decent man for Quinn.…There was a nicely chilled watermelon at home, so Lisa sliced up a large platter of it.When Nadia saw this, she approached Lisa with a smile."You're the best, Lisa!" Nadia exclaimed as she planted a kiss on Lisa's cheek.Lisa indulged her and replied, "Eat up! You've both been working hard lately. There wasn't much I could do to help with all that you wer

The supermarket was located near Windhaven Villa. So, if they needed anything, they could always come back the following day. There was really no need to buy so much in one go. Not to mention, there were only two people to carry all the stuff too."It's okay. You can stay here and look after the things. I'll bring these to the car real quick and be right back," Xavier suggested. He still hadn't thought of the problem they would run into after buying so much stuff."That won't be necessary. Let's just do this in one trip," Quinn said. It was a hassle to run back and forth, after all."I'll return in no time," Xavier insisted. He assumed that Quinn was reluctant to carry the bag of groceries. But Quinn replied, "I don't want to wait here. Let's go."So, Xavier handed her the smallest, lightest bag while he took on the rest of the load by himself.Quinn was speechless. It was completely unnecessary. It wasn't as if she were weak or anything."Come on, give me half of it. I can

"We should head back now, Xavier!" Quinn exclaimed. After all, Gwendolyn and the others were still waiting for them back at home. It wasn't appropriate for them to linger here and canoodle any longer.Xavier hummed in agreement and took a moment to collect himself before driving away.Upon hearing the car engine outside, Nadia came out to help with the groceries. She was astonished to see how much food they had bought. "Why did you guys buy so much? How are we going to finish all this?" Nadia asked incredulously. There were only a dozen or so people in the villa, including the bodyguards."Mom and Grandma prefer to stay in, so I bought a bit more food than usual," Quinn explained. After that, all three of them carried the groceries inside.At that moment, Gwendolyn had already woken up from her nap. "I'll take care of dinner tonight," she said.Lisa and Lorraine then quickly joined in to assist.There was already a household staff in charge of cooking in Windhaven Villa. So,

"What he wants to do is none of my business," Quinn stated bluntly. After all, it wouldn't affect the outcome in the slightest."I've noticed that Lisa's condition has improved significantly since her return to Jipsfort," Nadia commented."It's mainly because my grandmother has been by her side all this time. You see, my mother has been longing to return to Jipsfort ever since she went to the borderlands. And now that she's finally back, her mental state has shown significant improvement," Quinn explained. She should have brought Lisa back sooner, but since things in the borderlands hadn't been resolved back then, she kept putting it off."Is Lisa coming with us to Dudore?" Nadia asked. She felt that Jipsfort was a more suitable place for Lisa to recuperate since Dudore was a rather complex place."She's not keen on going, so I won't force her either. If she's happy staying here, then that's fine by me. I'll just visit her whenever I can," Quinn replied."I brought up the idea o

When Gwendolyn thought of Leroy, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "Are you thinking about Dad, Mom?" Lisa asked.Her heart ached for Gwendolyn. Her parents had always been so close, and now, Gwendolyn was all alone. It was only natural for her to feel sad.Gwendolyn hummed in response and said, "If your father could see how accomplished Quinny has become, he would be so proud and overjoyed."…Thanks to everyone's collective effort, they managed to cook up a storm in a jiffy. It didn't take long before the entire table was filled with dishes.After that, everyone sat down at the dining table. Meanwhile, the bodyguards enjoyed a large meal of their own at a nearby table. They were having the same food too.Gwendolyn initially wanted everyone to dine at the same table, but Bobby declined. It was a family gathering, so he thought that it wouldn't be appropriate for them to do so. As a result, they'd set up another table outside with the same food.Worried that they w

"Thank you for always being there for us, Nads. And thank you for always standing by Quinny's side," Lisa gratefully said."Alright, enough of the tears. It's such a joyous day today. We should be celebrating with smiles and laughter instead," Quinn beamed. That there was no reason for them to be crying at this moment."Exactly! Let's raise a glass!" Gwendolyn said with great vigor. She had always been a bold and spirited woman. Despite having faced countless challenges over the years, her indomitable spirit remained unbroken.Gwendolyn's good spirits put a smile on Lisa's face as well. As long as Gwendolyn was around, she could always behave like a child and act spoiled in Gwendolyn's embrace. She loved the comfort that came with it."You should have some food, Grandma. It's not good for you to drink so much," Quinn said. After all, Gwendolyn was almost 80 years old.But Gwendolyn replied, "You don't have to worry about me, Quinny! I'm still in very good health. And besides, th

Quinn's phone vibrated briefly, but she merely gave it a quick glance. She was preoccupied with assisting Lisa with her medication at that moment.Taylor had prescribed some medication for Lisa. She was now very compliant and took whatever medication Taylor instructed her to take. After all, she was eager to get better.Lisa used to dread taking these medications. But this didn't come as a surprise—having to take so many pills at once would have driven anyone crazy, no matter who they were.Quinn handed a glass of warm water to Lisa and said, "You're doing amazing, Mom.""Thanks, Quinny."At that moment, the time they shared as mother and daughter was especially warm and gentle."You don't have to stay here with me any longer. It was probably Xavier looking for you earlier, right? Off you go now!"It didn't matter what their relationship was like because all that mattered was Quinn's happiness. Additionally, it didn't matter whether or not Quinn would get married or have any chi

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. As he glided his lips down her neck, each caress sent shivers coursing through her, making her tremble involuntarily.With each kiss moving lower, her heartbeat quickened. 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
