After all, at the end of the day, they were both allies and adversaries. It was a battlefield of ambition, where each fought victory at the expense of others. There was no time to feel sorry for others.They had to rely on their own hard work to pass the exams and gain admission to M Research Institute. If not, they would be the ones who would be left behind.As everyone else walked away, Kimberly and Simon stayed behind. Their gazes were locked on Quinn."You have some explaining to do, Quinn! What are you doing here? Why are you getting yourself involved with these experiments? What is your objective?" Kimberly demanded. She felt that the research institute was her last hope and she couldn't allow her chance to be jeopardized.Quinn casually unwrapped a piece of gum and popped it into her mouth. After chewing it a few times, she said, "It's none of your damn business."Having said that, Quinn and Ian left together.After they walked away, Ian couldn't contain his laughter. Quin

At the end of the day, no one ever cared about Teresa's feelings. They had always been like that. They only cared about their own interests."I'm planning on hosting a banquet before the official research institute's exam to introduce Kimberly as my daughter," Gregory stated firmly. He clearly did not intend to change his mind because of Teresa's feelings. He was merely informing her, not asking for her input."Go ahead and do as you please! It's clear that you don't care what I think anyway."Having said that, Teresa got up and left the place. All she wanted now was a drink. She wanted to get drunk enough so that she wouldn't have to think about all these things.Upon seeing her behave in such a way, Gregory remained completely unconcerned. Why should he care? It was Teresa's fault for giving birth to such a good-for-nothing child into the world.As the head of the Thorpe family, he felt obligated to secure the family's future. All he wanted was to groom the perfect heir for the

Quinn saw through Frank's act in an instant."Good evening, Ms. Jowell. I'm Frank Faulkner, a member of the Faulkner family of Dudore. You've probably heard of us, right?"Quinn was rendered speechless. She then said, "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of that family before. Is there anything you need from me? If not, please step aside."Frank felt a bit put out by her blunt response."Are you interested in joining the research institute, Quinn? I can help you get into the research institute, but there's a condition. You have to agree to be in a relationship with me."After all, his father, Edison Faulkner, had previously assured him that he would undoubtedly enter the research institute this time around.His skills were perhaps not as strong as they could be. However, in this day and age, power trumped ability.Upon hearing that, Quinn stopped in her tracks.As soon as he saw Quinn standing still, Frank sensed an opportunity. After all, everyone who came here for closed training

After winking at Quinn, Freya helped Frank return to his room.Upon arriving in the room, Frank flew into a rage. He bellowed, "Did you not hear what I said, Freya? Are you even aware of your purpose for being here with me?""Please calm down, Frank. I know you're a big deal, but Quinn only got here today, and we don't know anything about her background. It will probably be for the best if we act carefully for now. I mean, look at Kimberly—she's got the Thorpe family and Mr. Jensen backing her. "Those who got into the research institute through connections like that usually have some strong background, and those with that kind of backing don't just arrive late without reason, right? I think it's best we observe Quinn for now. If we cross someone we shouldn't, Uncle Edison will be furious."After hearing what she said, Frank realized she had made a valid point. Edison had constantly warned him not to stir up trouble in the research institute."Why aren't you taking me to the hospi

"Got it," Quinn replied."I'll join you on your stroll," Xavier said.After not seeing Quinn for the whole day, Xavier thought he should drop by to check on her and spend time with her as well. "How about a drink?" Xavier suggested after noticing that Quinn still seemed quite upset."Where should we go for a drink?""Let's go," Xavier said as he snapped his fingers, grabbed her hand, and led her toward his car.Xavier kept a low profile this time. He had parked his car in a secluded spot.There were two bottles of fine wine in his trunk, which he had asked his men to bring over earlier.After grabbing the wine, he led her up to the rooftop.M Research Institute was a towering building consisting of dozens of stories, and standing on the rooftop felt as if the stars were within reach. It was early autumn, and the weather had turned rather chilly.Xavier removed his black coat and spread it out on the ground for her to sit on.Quinn, without any reservations, went ahead and

Xavier held her tightly around her waist, deepening the kiss as he did so. At that moment, Quinn was still holding onto the bottle of red wine.Against the backdrop of the night sky, they kissed with reckless abandon on the rooftop.Xavier always had a way with her. Although she didn't want to indulge so much, Quinn would always let go of her thoughts after being kissed by him. As a result, she always felt that there was nothing wrong with being so indulgent.Freya felt stifled in her room, so she intended to go to the rooftop for a breath of fresh air. Yet, as soon as she got up there, she caught sight of Quinn being kissed by someone.She was somewhat taken aback. After all, Quinn had always come across as rather cold and aloof.Yet, she had just caught sight of Quinn's blushing face—a stark contrast to her usually cool demeanor. It was as if a curtain had been pulled back to reveal a more vulnerable side to her. Freya chose not to interrupt and silently retreated.Quinn had

"What's there to justify? If anyone asks, just tell them I willingly agreed to be your lover. I don't mind at all," Xavier said."Is being a lover really something to be proud of?" Quinn sometimes found it hard to wrap her head around his logic."Well, I'll be more than happy if you're willing to change my status." Xavier looked at her expectantly.Since she wasn't willing to do that, he'd just have to make do with his current status."Alright, don't push it. Just stay put in here. I'll go see who it is." Quinn gave Xavier a gentle push into the room before heading to the door.Xavier shrugged.Was she really so ashamed of him?In Dudore, countless socialites had their sights set on him, and he had always turned them down without a second thought.Quinn was really something else.Once Quinn opened the door, she found Ian standing there.Seeing it was Ian, she immediately let him in.But Ian hesitated. "Quinny, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to go into your room?" After

Ian quickly made his exit. He realized that his behavior today had been out of line. It was definitely inappropriate.As he stepped out of Quinn's room, he bumped right into Kimberly.Kimberly's room was right next to Quinn's. She had just returned from the lab, and then she saw this scene unfold.She thought that Quinn really had no shame at all. She always flirted with different men. Was that her way to stand out?Ian noticed the disdain in Kimberly's eyes. It annoyed him. He didn't like the idea of anyone misjudging Quinn.He genuinely liked her as a person. She was nothing like Kimberly thought.But explaining that out of the blue didn't feel right, so he shot Kimberly a glare and then headed back to his room.If Nadia could come here, would she come to see him? He missed Nadia. She was so beautiful. Would those rich heirs from Dudore try to pursue her?He was determined to confess his feelings to her once the exams were over. He couldn't wait any longer.Back in his room,

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
