Falling into Her Trap of Love Chapter 49
Despite Gerald's age, Kimberley showed no respect for him. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Nothing happened five years ago. This slap is to make you calm down."What had happened was ancient history. Even if Quinn was unhappy about it, what could she do? What evidence could she possibly find?"But she played a recording for me. I—" Gerald began, but Kimberley's icy glare shut him up."I told you to shut up. It seems like you've become too old. Pack your things and go back to the countryside!"If they kept him there, it would only lead to trouble. He didn't have the mental fortitude to handle this."What? Now that I'm old, you don't want to take care of me anymore?" The butler's salary at Jowell Villa was excellent, and managing so many household staff made his job pretty easy. How could he give up such a sweet deal?"Since you do know you're old, why stick around?" Kimberly said her piece and went back to her room, leaving him to figure out his next move.

Xavier's heart ached at Quinn's brief reply. The Jowell family must have bullied her. "I'll come to you." "No," Quinn refused. What was he going to do, coming over this late at night?"Then come to me. I have a lot of good wine here. You can come and try some.""I don't feel like drinking.""Then what do you want to do? I'll do it with you." Whatever she wanted to do was fine with him."Alright, pick me up at my front door in ten minutes."Hanging up the phone, Xavier downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.He walked over to his wardrobe. He was unsure of what to wear and spent a long time deciding. Honestly, he'd never had this problem before. But now he wondered how to dress to impress Quinn.Ian walked in to find Xavier staring blankly at rows of clothes. "Xav, you heading out?""Ian, what do young women like guys to wear?""You've got a date with Quinn?""Yeah." It was sort of a date. As long as they were together, it was a date, right?"Xav, you gotta have confidenc

It was already remarkable to see a stunning beauty behind the wheel of a supercar, but her driving skills were off the charts. "Sam, you got overtaken by a woman," someone quipped. "Ha! No way!" Samuel Kane hadn't expected to encounter a rival while he was cruising around for a breath of fresh air. It was absolutely impossible for him to admit defeat. He was a top-tier racer who had ranked in the F1 World Championship before. How could he lose to a woman? Samuel slammed on the gas pedal and steered the wheel with one hand. The red and blue supercars sped through the night, with each alternatively taking the lead at times. Quinn glanced at the man in the red supercar through her rearview mirror and smirked to herself. Xavier had already seen through her. She was clearly toying with Samuel.How could that red supercar ever catch up to her with her incredible racing skills?However, Xavier's mood was lifted when he saw the mischievous grin on her face. He didn't like seeing

Quinn whispered something into Leonard's ear. Although the boxing gym was completely silent, no one could hear what she said. "I won," Andrew said arrogantly as he was about to take his boxing gloves off. However, Leonard suddenly got up when the referee counted down to two. He was terribly beaten up. His face was bruised, and he could barely stand. Nonetheless, he managed to stand up at the last second. He didn't mind losing as a boxer, but he couldn't allow anyone to insult his beloved country and its people. The previously silent boxing gym erupted into thunderous applause the moment he stood up. Leonard turned to Quinn. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he nodded in acknowledgement. Quinn made a few gestures on her body, indicating the acupoints. "Don't fight fire with fire. Instead, be like water." Cryonians were naturally at a disadvantage in terms of raw strength compared to Mostovians. However, as the old saying went, strength wasn't everything. Xavier knew

Xavier started unbuttoning his shirt as Quinn put on her boxing gloves. When she turned around, she saw him walking over to her, shirtless. The sight rendered her at a loss for words. Most of the male boxers didn't wear shirts in the boxing gym. Naturally, they had impressive physiques from exercise. However, Xavier's figure was exceptional. It was enough to make anyone drool at first sight. "Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" she asked. Xavier answered as he put on his boxing gloves, "Wearing a shirt is inconvenient. What's more, you're too skilled. I can't afford to be careless." It would be too embarrassing to lose to her. Quinn remarked, "Don't go easy on me." She wanted to work up a good sweat tonight. Without giving him a warning, she started the fight by launching an attack at Xavier directly. Her punches were swift and merciless. Xavier didn't intend to hold back either. Since she wanted to fight, he would give her a good match.Both of them were true experts o

Quinn said heartlessly, "It's getting late, and I need to head back. You'd better think of a way to deal with it."Xavier grabbed onto her hand and refused to let go. "No. I don't like to be alone." Quinn said in exasperation, "Let go of me. How can you calm down if you keep holding onto me?" He should be keeping his distance from her now."No," he refused bluntly. Xavier didn't mind Quinn being aware of his desire for her. In fact, he already had a strong desire for her in the first place. It was an urge that made him want to pounce on her at any moment. Wasn't pure lust the most primal attraction between a man and a woman? "Are you feeling better now?" Xavier didn't ask why she was in a bad mood. A woman as guarded as her wouldn't easily share such things with another person. "I'm feeling much better." Quinn genuinely felt a little tired after sweating it out during the intense match. She just wanted to go back and get a good night's sleep.Seeing that Quinn was tired, Xav

Ian still hadn't gone to bed when Xavier returned to the villa. He was lounging on the couch and playing games. "Xav, how was it? Where did you guys go on your date?" Ian asked curiously as he played his video game. Xavier had never been in a relationship before. Ian was eager to know where someone like him would go for a date."After some street racing, we went to a boxing gym," Xavier answered. He saw a bottle of red wine on the coffee table and grabbed a wine glass before pouring himself a drink. "What?" Ian was astonished. His surprise slowed his movements, and caused him to lose the game. "Who would take their date street racing and to a boxing gym? Is she really that wild?" Ian wondered. Quinn was clearly a stunning beauty. Why would she choose such activities for a date? Moreover, Xavier had returned home looking positively smitten with her. "What? Do you have a problem with that?" Xavier demanded, taking a sip of the red wine. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down se

"Good to see that you're scared," Quinn said with a smirk. Her smile only made Gerald more terrified. He had been tormented by the things he had done five years ago, so he hadn't slept well last night.He was afraid that Quinn would take revenge. However, he was also reluctant to leave the Jowell family. If it hadn't been for him, Araminta and Kimberly wouldn't have been able to become a part of the Jowell family so smoothly. He would absolutely not allow them to kick him to the curb and enjoy a good life themselves.Kimberly frowned when she came downstairs and saw him. "Gerald, didn't I tell you? You're getting old. Go back to your hometown and have a good rest. ""What's going on?" Araminta was unaware of the situation.Kimberly answered, "Gerald is getting on in years. I want him to go back to his hometown and enjoy his retirement." Gerald knew too much. Keeping him around would only affect them. "I see! Gerald, you've been working for us for over 20 years. I won't treat

It sent electric tingles racing through her body. It was as if he wielded some mysterious power.

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
