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
"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
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
Somewhere in a dark alley in the borderlands of Mostovia, a loud voice rang out. "Grab her! Don't let her get away!"Even though it was in the middle of the night, the streets were still brightly illuminated. A dozen people in black were chasing after a slender young woman, Quinn Jowell."Damn it. These people are asking for it." Seeing that the men were hot on her tail, Quinn stopped abruptly and grabbed a long metal pole that was about three feet long. "Give us that thing!"In just the blink of an eye, the dozen men in black surrounded Quinn and trapped her. Their faces were twisted into ugly scowls as they came closer to her."You want it? Come and get it, then!" Quinn shouted.She had a dark hoodie covering her face, so none of the men could see her expression. However, her voice sent a shiver down their spines.Blood was still flowing out of her arm where she had taken a bullet earlier. She had to end this. Fast.One of the men with a long scar on his face turned to a blo
Just a while ago, Xavier had ordered Lee to throw out a woman who had dared to drug him. He had been merciless when he had given out that order. However, he didn't feel like suppressing his desires anymore. Moreover, Quinn was exactly his type. Just putting his arm around her waist made him want to give in to the lust raging through his body."I don't care who you are. You're mine."Quinn couldn't help rolling her eyes in the dark when she heard that. "Let's see how you try to make me yours."Even if she was tired, she wasn't one to give up without a fight.However, a second later, Xavier pressed on her wound harshly."Ouch!" Quinn cried out in pain. This man was a cruel and merciless one! How could he attack her weakest point like that?Xavier then pressed his burning body against hers. "I gave you a chance to run away just now, but you didn't. Now, you can't blame it on me anymore.""Do you have a death wish?" Quinn was dying to rip Xavier away from her body, but he didn't g
There was an ugly look on Shelly's face. She had never thought that Quinn, who used to let everyone walk all over her, would turn out to be such a dangerous character."I'm sorry."Shelly had to uphold the Pattersons' reputation. So, she could only apologize like she had been told to, albeit begrudgingly. "I can't hear you.""You—"No one in Jipsfort had ever dared to treat Shelly like this. Her eyes turned red with anger. There were plenty of people watching from the sidelines, yet no one stepped out to defend her."I'm sorry. I was wrong.""Ms. Xandor, remember to treat me with respect the next time you see me. Otherwise, you'll only have yourself to blame when you face the consequences."Shelly was seething. How dared this lowly bitch threaten her like this?Still, she knew that Quinn wasn't going to be able to stay haughty for long. She was going to learn what it meant to offend the daughter of the Xandor family!Quinn took her suitcase and went to the T2 exit. A while l
"Hurry up, Gerald! I'm tired!" Quinn ignored Maurice completely and stretched lazily before going back into the room.Gerald could only do as she said. So, he took a few maids with him to clean up Quinn's room."Change out all of the furniture in this room. You only have one hour." Quinn didn't want to use anything that Kimberly had used before. She thought of them as soiled and dirty."But Ms. Quinn, it's the middle of the night—""Gerald, have you forgotten your roots once again?" Quinn asked, flexing her wrists.Gerald immediately got the maids to prepare everything according to Quinn's instructions.By the time the room was ready, two hours had passed. After having tortured the majority of the bastards in the villa, Quinn slept very well that night.…"Mom, are you really going to let Quinn attend my engagement party tomorrow?" Kimberly had been behaving herself in front of Maurice. However, she didn't like the possibility of Quinn crashing her engagement party.It had bee
Kimberly and Simon's engagement party was to be held at Lightcloud Hotel in Jipsfort. Nearly all of the rich and wealthy people in the city had been invited.Meanwhile, the younger generation of the wealthy families started blowing up their group chat."I heard that Quinn Jowell's returned! It's been five years. I wonder how she's doing now. She used to be so untouchable.""How do you think she's doing? It's terrible in the borderlands. But with Quinn's seductive looks, I'm sure she must have found some sugar daddy to protect her.""I have a friend who visited the borderlands a while ago. They saw her doing the dirty with a 50-year-old man with their own eyes…""Remember how Quinn used to destroy any woman who dared to approach Simon? This is karma. Serves her right!""But have Quinn and Simon ever dated in the past?""No. I've never liked her in the first place." Simon, who had never replied to any of the messages in the group chat before, suddenly resurfaced.When everyone sa
