"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

"Well then, let me show you what death really looks like." Quinn drew the guns from her holsters, one in each hand. Her eyes turned cold and deadly."Get her! We can't let her escape, or else we won't be able to answer for it."This was indeed a power struggle among the elites, but it was the people on the ground who suffered the most.Since both sides were armed, the shootout commenced immediately.Even though Quinn was alone, her combat skills were astounding. She forced them back step by step, and they had no chance to retaliate.Eventually, she planted her foot on the face of the leader."Tell me! Who ordered you to kidnap Edgar?" She couldn't forgive anyone who harmed him like this.However, the leader, Maddox Holloway, refused to speak. Even if he did, he knew his boss would not spare him."Not talking, huh?""I don't know anything. Even if you kill me today, I still know nothing," Maddox said.A smile curled up on Quinn's lips, but it sent shivers down his spine."Is

"Ms. Quinn, you have to be careful. These people will do anything for control of the research institute," Edgar warned.This time, those people aimed to replace the founder."Yeah, I know. Don't worry."Dudore was a place where only the strong survived. If one wasn't strong enough, they were destined to be devoured.When Xavier and Nadia got off the plane, they headed straight to the hospital.Seeing both of them there, Edgar felt a bit embarrassed.Nadia's heart grew heavy seeing how badly Edgar was injured. Was Quinn doing something dangerous? She wanted to protect Quinn, but she knew she had no such capability.Quinn didn't expect Xavier to come to the hospital.After briefly checking on Edgar, Xavier pulled her outside."Are you trying to ditch me, Quinn?" There was anger in Xavier's voice.She had probably never intended for them to return together. She was always like this, thinking only about her own feelings.He felt as if he could be discarded at any time, and that

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything," Xavier said.Everyone had their own principles when it came to work. Although Xavier wanted to help Quinn, if she didn't want him to, he wouldn't push it."Shouldn't you have many things to handle at Lightcloud Corporation? You should head back," Quinn urged.He hadn't been there for a while. There had to be a lot waiting for him back at the company.Besides, Darius had been making waves lately.Quinn had heard of Darius. He was nothing but a despicable man, unremarkable but undeniably annoying at times."I'm not going anywhere. My men will handle it. I'm the boss. If I have to deal with everything myself, what's the point of having subordinates?"As a boss, his job was to make decisions. Everything else could be delegated.Right now, Xavier just wanted to enjoy a relationship with Quinn that didn't involve breaking up.Unfortunately, they could never seem to reach a consensus on that. She always had one foot out the door."Do wh

But there was nothing Edgar could do. Quinn had said he wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until he was better.Edgar didn't listen to anyone else, but he had no choice but to heed Quinn's words."Okay, just rest well and don't overthink things," Quinn said.He was still just a 20-year-old young man. It was normal for him to get into some trouble."Okay."After leaving the ward, Quinn needed to go to the restroom, and Nadia went with her. Xavier headed off to wait for them in the car.While washing her hands after using the restroom, Quinn felt someone staring at her. When she turned around, she saw a tall, thin woman.Quinn frowned. She didn't recognize this woman, yet the woman was staring at her intently."Do you know me? Or do you need me for something?" Quinn asked bluntly.Daphne wasn't even sure why she had been following Quinn secretly.If Xavier found out, he would surely be upset, but she couldn't control herself. She had just wanted to sneak a few glances but did

"Were you going to refuse?" Quinn asked.Nadia must have thought about coming over right away as well. Did she really think Quinn wouldn't know?Nadia replied, "Of course not! I love you so much. Of course, I want to see you as soon as possible.""Let's go!"The two of them left together.When they came out, Xavier had already parked the car on the roadside.Quinn opened the back door and let Nadia get in first before climbing into the car herself.Xavier drove off once he confirmed they were both inside.He chose the most famous grilled duck restaurant. Anyone visiting Dudore for the first time had to try the local grilled duck.This restaurant had a history of over a hundred years and had been featured on a TV show. Its rating was a perfect 100%.Xavier reserved the best private room."I know this place. It was on TV! I was drooling over it back then!" Nadia was incredibly excited.As expected of Xavier, he was always reliable and had never let anyone down."Yeah, I've b

When Quinn met Xavier's eyes in the rear-view mirror, he smiled at her.Seeing that, Quinn quickly looked away.Meanwhile, Nadia was too exhausted to speak. She had been on a flight for over two hours, and she hadn't taken an afternoon nap.Since middle school, she had developed the habit of needing a midday rest. No matter what was happening, she always had to nap a little in the afternoon.It wasn't long before she fell asleep on Quinn's shoulder."Where are you two staying? Do you have your own place?" Xavier asked, unsure of Quinn's plans."Yeah, we're living together."Edgar and the others had their own places. And since Nadia was starting her own brand, Quinn chose a spacious apartment in a prime location for them to stay together."You're living together?"Xavier wasn't entirely satisfied with that answer. He still felt it would be more convenient for her to live alone.Though he had his opinions, he didn't voice them since she wouldn't consider them anyway. She only c

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
