Xavier thrust into Quinn again and again. The sensations became overwhelming, prompting her to bite down on his shoulder.Her bite was laced with a sense of vengeance.Xavier couldn't help but let out a groan, and he felt his manhood swell even more beneath her.Quinn felt like she was about to pass out. This man…"Alright, I'll take it slow," Xavier coaxed her gently. He was well aware that she had a temper.If he pushed her too far, he'd be left alone in the cold tonight. He didn't want to be kicked out.Perhaps this was human nature. Being in a tent and knowing others were outside created a sense of forbidden thrill. That feeling amplified every sensation in their bodies.That night, Quinn was caught between torment and pleasure. She was at a loss for how to define their relationship.Once Xavier got started, he didn't hold back at all. He had forgotten all about his earlier promises.When they were done, he even helped her clean up."Xavier, this was your motive from the
The wind on the mountain was strong. Even though Quinn wore a shirt, she still felt cold.Xavier parted his trench coat and pulled her into his arms, using his body heat to warm her up.The scene was incredibly beautiful.In the dawn light, the skyline gradually brightened with a hint of golden hues. It looked like a magnificent canvas painted with an artist's golden brush.At that moment, the whole world seemed to freeze, with only the golden sunlight flowing and spreading, illuminating every corner.This was not merely the process of a sunrise. It was a feast for both the eyes and the soul, leaving an unforgettable impression.Quinn's morning grumpiness was slowly consumed by the stunning view before her.She quietly took in everything. As expected, watching the sunrise from Protrie Highway was truly a visual feast."Isn't it worth it?" Xavier whispered in her ear.Quinn nodded. "Yeah, it's worth it."Soon, the sun rose completely, giving the mountaintop a unique charm in t
The man realized he stood no chance against Xavier, so it was better to walk away. People should have a sense of self-awareness.Xavier sat down next to Quinn. Soon, their ravioli arrived, along with a poached egg.Xavier placed the poached egg on one of the plates of ravioli before handing it over."Do you like poached eggs?""Yeah, this place makes really good poached eggs. I used to come here with Nadia to eat ravioli all the time, and we always added a poached egg. You should try it.""I don't like eggs."Xavier's least favorite food was eggs. He always thought they had a taste reminiscent of chicken manure.Xavier had ordered Quinn a small plate of ravioli, but even that was too much for her to finish. Naturally, he took care of the leftovers.After all, wasting food was a shameful act. It simply shouldn't be done.After finishing the ravioli, Xavier took Quinn's hand and led her out of the café.The place was far too crowded. One wrong move and they might bump into some
Javon was beaming with excitement.Before long, Quinn completed another painting. This one was entirely different in style from the last. Yet, it was still a masterpiece."You truly have a gift, Ms. Jowell. If you continue painting, you could become an expert. It would be such a shame to give up now."He rarely encountered such a talented young lady."Won't you consider continuing painting?" Javon asked.Quinn shook her head. "No, it's just a hobby for me. I'll paint when I have the time, and if I don't, then that's fine too.""That's such a pity."After leaving the studio, Xavier took Quinn to Four Seasons Incorporated.Knowing that Quinn was really leaving, Luna felt a pang of reluctance. She honestly wasn't sure if she could manage Four Seasons Incorporated. After all, it was a huge corporation, and she was just in her 20s."Ms. Jowell, are you really sure about leaving such a big company in my hands?""What's there to worry about? My mom is still here. Just ask her if you
Xavier kissed Quinn fiercely. His kiss this time was extra domineering.The two of them grew increasingly in sync, but this time, he accidentally bit her tongue, causing it to bleed.Quinn was at a loss. What was wrong with him today? He had always been such a stable person. Why was he so impatient today?"What's wrong with you, Xavier?"Seeing blood on her lips, he felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I just suddenly got a bit anxious. I don't even know what I'm anxious about. Maybe I'm afraid you'll run away."He was incredibly straightforward, laying it all bare in front of her.Quinn truly had no intention of returning to Dudore with him. She was going there for her own reasons, not because of him."Am I right? Are you planning to leave on your own? What a heartless little thing you are."Did she never consider going back with him?"Xavier, we both have our own things to deal with. There's really no need to keep dragging this out."Spending a part of their
Edgar was no weakling. And having been by Quinn's side for so many years, he was well aware of the dangers of the world.No one knew who was connected to his disappearance this time.Everyone began to investigate.When news of Edgar's disappearance reached the research institute, the reactions were mixed.Edgar now represented the founder of the institute, M. Anyone who dared to harm him was essentially going against the founder. The people in the institute were desperately trying to contact M, hoping for them to step in during this critical moment.Quinn was M. It had been a twist of fate that led her to establish M Research Institute. But under her leadership, it thrived and even surpassed other research institutes.The innovations coming from M Research Institute were immensely valuable. Each of their findings was fiercely sought after by major families.Undoubtedly, M was a genius inventor. Anything she created would sell like hotcakes and significantly advance human civiliz
"What do you mean sneak away? Is there a need for me to be sneaky? I do everything openly. I've never thought about being sneaky," Quinn retorted."Fine. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to board my flight. See you tonight," Nadia said.In the end, she managed to convince her parents to let her go and develop her career in Dudore, but they set a condition. They would only give her a year. If she hadn't made a name for herself by then, she had to come back.Xavier had already learned about Quinn's solo trip to Dudore, and he felt quite helpless about it.No matter what happened, she never considered relying on anyone, and this time was no different. He wasn't pleased with this."Xav, are you okay?" Ian was on the phone with Xavier.Quinn was the kind of person that most people found hard to manage, but he believed Xavier could handle her. Still, it didn't seem like an easy task."I'm fine. Edgar is missing, right? Let's have our people help look for him," Xavier replied.No
Edgar was severely injured. He was now locked up in a place he didn't recognize.Ever since arriving in Dudore, he had been cautious as he was aware of the dangers this job entailed. But despite his precautions, he had still fallen into someone's trap.He had no idea what was happening at the research institute. With the exam approaching, the old geezers there could do as they pleased during his absence.He wondered how Quinn was doing. She must have found out about his disappearance by now. Would she think he was incompetent?Just as he was lost in thought, Quinn appeared, scaling the wall and moving against the light.At that moment, she looked stunning beyond words."Ms. Quinn…" Edgar felt a wave of guilt. He hadn't expected to need Quinn to rescue him.When Quinn wanted to find someone, she would. Although it took some time, she managed to locate him.She had fought her way in, leaving anyone who tried to stop her half-dead.The moment she saw the extent of Edgar's injurie
