Chapter 512

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
Xavier was not one for jokes. He meant what he said.

If there were still issues with their reports tomorrow, they would truly have to pack up and leave. No one would be able to help them, either.

Back in his office, Xavier continued tapping away on his phone. There were some problems at the borderlands that needed his guidance.

"Xav, are you not coming back? We all miss you."

"I still have some things to handle in Dudore. You take care of things in the borderlands for now. If anything comes up that you can't manage, just call me. You've been with me long enough to handle things on your own. Don't always rely on me. Are you all trying to wear me out?"

Xavier had already provided solutions during the shareholders' meeting. The rest was up to them.

"Alright, Xav, you can count on me. I won't let you down."

Xavier's men respected him greatly. If it weren't for him, their days in the borderlands wouldn't be so easy. Hence, his men were all fiercely loyal to him.

    Nadia's studio in Jipsfort was merely a personal workspace, so it wasn't very large.She had thought that her personal brand company in the pricey Dudore wouldn't be too big either, yet she hadn't expected Quinn to secure such a spacious place for her."Ms. Jowell, are you planning to spoil me? How much did this cost?""I already said I would invest in your brand. I've found the space for you. Now, the hiring is up to you," Quinn said.She had many other matters to attend to and couldn't help her every step of the way.Nadia hugged Quinn around the waist. "Got it. Don't worry. I'll handle everything else. What would I do without you, Quinny? I promise I'll work hard and earn a lot of money."She was determined not to let Quinn down."I believe in you. This is the work you love. Do it well, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just enjoy it.""Got it."In the afternoon, Nadia went to register her brand, which she named Sully. The name was a joint idea between her and Qu

    Xavier led Quinn and Nadia into a private room. After they entered, Kimberly emerged from the shadows.She didn't know that Quinn was also in Dudore.Thinking about everything Quinn had done to her and Araminta, Kimberly gritted her teeth in anger.In the past, she couldn't compete with Quinn, but now things were different.This time, she had come to Dudore to find her biological father, Gregory Thorpe. At first, he didn't want to acknowledge her. His wife, a wealthy and powerful heiress, was very domineering.However, upon learning she was studying to enter M Research Institute, he changed his attitude. He promised he would clear all obstacles for her as long as she could get into M Research Institute.Today, Gregory had brought her to dine here. Kimberly hadn't expected to see Quinn."What are you looking at, Kimberly? If you're done eating, let's go. I've already made arrangements with the people at M Research Institute. You can start the closed training tomorrow.""I'm your

    "Okay." Nadia immediately dropped the subject.The dishes were served quickly.Xavier had a bottle of top-quality red wine brought in. He opened the bottle and poured some for both of them."Nadia, congratulations on finally having your own brand." Xavier raised his glass.Nadia stood up, and her eyes were sparkling with joy. "I owe it all to Quinny. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to establish my personal brand at all. I love you so much, Quinny!"Quinn clinked glasses with her.They were the best of friends. Although they didn't share blood ties, they were closer than most sisters.After dinner, Nadia found an excuse to sneak away. She knew that Xavier and Quinn hadn't enjoyed some intimate time together for a while, and she didn't want to be a third wheel.She initially left to go to the restroom, then sent a text to Quinn."I've eaten my fill. I'm going out for a stroll alone. You two continue. Xavier is a good man. It'll be a waste to not sleep with him.

    Seeing how cared for Quinn was frustrated Kimberly.Since arriving in Dudore, she had been trying to find opportunities to meet Gregory, which left her no time to contact Simon.He should be in Dudore by now. Kimberly wondered what he was doing.Unable to resist, she picked up her phone and dialed Simon's number. She kept telling herself not to lower her dignity, but in the end, she couldn't help it.However, the call couldn't go through. It seemed he had blocked her.To be honest, Simon was really ruthless. They had been together for five years! Was that nothing to him?"Simon, one day, I will make you kneel before me and beg for my forgiveness."In the future, with the Thorpe family backing her up, no one would be able to bully her anymore.Simon was indeed in Dudore and had already started his closed training.Right now, he didn't want to think about anything else. All he wanted was to pass this exam and get into M Research Institute. This was his only chance.The days in

    Xavier returned with a glass of warm water. He gently helped Quinn sit up and fed her.His attentiveness was truly remarkable.Quinn gulped down the warm water and felt much more comfortable afterward."Do you want more?" he asked.Without looking at him, Quinn shook her head. Xavier was still completely naked.She pulled the blanket over him. Though summer was coming to an end, the nights could still be chilly with autumn approaching.Xavier placed the glass on the bedside table. After lying down, he wrapped his arms around her. "Go to sleep. It's still early."Quinn's sleep hadn't been great, but she slept soundly whenever she was with him.She leaned against him comfortably and soon fell back asleep.The next day, Quinn needed to visit M Research Institute, but this time she was going as a student. Her goal was to root out all the moles.M Research Institute was something she had worked hard to establish. It was meant to support Cryona's technological development, yet now

    Since Quinn wasn't certain that the people around her were friends or foes, she couldn't reveal her true identity just yet.M Research Institute was located within a military zone in Dudore, a site under national protection.After all, the research conducted there was extremely valuable.A strong nation relied on technological advancement, and there was a significant push for this in the current climate.The institute was home to top talents. Of course, the country was determined to safeguard them.Xavier couldn't drive into the facility and could only drop Quinn off outside."Will I not see you for a few days?" he asked. He knew that the newer students were all undergoing closed training.During this period, they couldn't leave the premises."Yeah, closed training is really important. Let's not contact each other for now.""Okay, I'll try not to bother you." Quinn didn't mind separation. It was always Xavier who couldn't let go.With that, Quinn entered the institute.Edgar

    "Let me introduce everyone. This is Kimberly Jowell. She'll be joining you all for training from now on." Patrick went on for a while. He gave a lengthy introduction."Alright, I won't take up any more of your training time. Keep it up, everyone. Kimberly, make sure to give it your all, and don't disappoint me or your dad."Patrick was in the same faction as Gregory. They naturally hoped their own people could secure a place in M Research Institute.Only then could they gradually gain control over it."Don't worry, Mr. Jensen. I'll work hard and won't let you down," Kimberly responded confidently. She believed she would eventually secure a spot in M Research Institute.Gregory patted her shoulder. "Do your best. Once the closed training ends, I'll host a party to introduce you to everyone, so they'll know you are my daughter.""Alright."Patrick and Gregory left together."She's actually here," Ian remarked with a hint of amusement upon seeing Kimberly.How could someone like

    Without giving Simon another chance to speak, Ian took Quinn with him.Quinn had entered as a student to uncover the moles within the research institute. Having Ian as her cover was quite convenient.She didn't say much and followed Ian out of the room.The closed training curriculum was elementary for Quinn. So, once they arrived at the lab, she found a spot and started playing a game. She left Ian to train on his own.Seeing her so nonchalant, Ian was at a loss.Was Quinn really here to take the exam? Her attitude seemed far from serious."Quinny, did you come here of your own will? No one forced you, right?" he asked.Quinn's eyes remained fixed on her screen. She had already wiped out all her opponents in the game. Her character stood alone while exuding an air of invincibility."Who could force me? Don't worry about me. Just focus on your training."The lab wasn't just for Ian. Other students used it too. Noticing her laid-back attitude, some of them shook their heads but

    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
