Chapter 79

Author: Miss Jean-Jean
"It's fine. Just order whatever you want if you can finish it. You don't have to worry about me paying for the dinner," Quinn piped up.

Ryan ordered two dishes before handing the menu to others. Luna agreed, "Let's order two dishes each."

Soon, all the team members put in their orders. It was their first time dining at such a high-end restaurant, and they all ordered their favorite foods.

Finally, the menu was back in Quinn's hands. She added two specialties to the order.

The young team members got along well with the easygoing Quinn in no time. It was an enjoyable dinner.

Ryan, who'd had too much to drink, grabbed Quinn by her sleeve. "Ms. Jowell, there's nothing to worry about! I will give my best shot. It's not easy to come across a job I truly like!"

He was a capable hire, but many companies had rejected his application because he had graduated from a less prestigious college.

After receiving many rejections and coming so close to giving up, he hadn't been able to believe h

    Quinn frowned. She hated being forced to do anything, which was exactly what Xavier did. Glaring at him, she said with aversion, "Xavier, I told you I'm not drinking it."She regretted following him to the villa."Quinn, look at my hand." He showed her the burns on his bony hand.What was that? "And do I have anything to do with this?" She was surprised to see the burns on his hand."Of course it has everything to do with you! Quinn Jowell, your mom is still in the borderlands! She only has you, and she needs your care. What will she do if something happens to you?" Xavier used Lisa as an excuse to force Quinn into taking the medicine, knowing that she cared for her mom the most."Xavier, you crossed a line there." She rose from the couch but adamantly refused to take the medicine."I can't believe that you're scared of taking herbal medicine.""Don't pull that on me. It won't work."Since she refused to take the medicine, he lifted the bowl and took a mouthful of it. Then, h

    Quinn furrowed her brow, wondering what Xavier was doing. Did he perhaps feel sorry for her?She really didn't need him to feel sorry for her, though.She simply couldn't pull away from him because he was holding her by the waist.Xavier was undeniably charismatic. No woman who fell under his spell could emerge unscathed. He was currently sitting on the couch, his face nestled against her sensitive stomach. At that moment, a palpable tension hung in the air between them, the kind that spoke of unspoken desires between a man and a woman.Quinn had never truly understood love. She also didn't believe that pure love existed in this world.According to her, everything was merely primal urges, and it was simply a matter of controlling them."You're probably just looking to have sex with me, right? You don't need to put on the lovey-dovey act." After all, a man of his caliber shouldn't have to lower himself like this.Upon seeing her in such a state, Xavier felt a pang of sorrow, wi

    In fact, Xavier had already sensed it the moment Simon drove the car over.As the car approached them, he immediately pushed Quinn out of harm's way. Even though he could have avoided the car, a glint in his eyes betrayed a different intention. He deliberately slowed his movements, allowing the car to strike him."Xavier?"Having been pushed, Quinn stumbled forward. After taking a few steps to steady herself, she turned around and saw Xavier lying on the ground.Upon witnessing Xavier being knocked to the ground, Simon's eyes blazed with madness."I'll run you over. I'll definitely kill you," he mumbled incoherently.Kimberly's face immediately turned pale. It was her first time seeing Simon behave this way in the five years they had been together. .Simon, a man accustomed to having the world at his feet, could effortlessly attain anything he set his sights on.As a result, he had never seemed particularly passionate about anything, except for the research institute. However

    Xavier couldn't help but sneer. Did Simon actually think Quinn still had feelings for him?How could he have had such an inflated ego?If Quinn wasn't interested in Xavier, there was no way she would be interested in a loser like Simon.Upon seeing this, Kimberly immediately got out of the car. After all, Simon was her fiancé, so she couldn't bear to see him being assaulted."Release him, Quinn!" Kimberly exclaimed as she grabbed Quinn's hand.With Kimberly coming to his aid, Simon suddenly felt the urge to fight back. How could Quinn have fallen out of love with him and found affection for someone else?Yet, before his hand could land on Quinn, the man he had thought he had incapacitated grabbed his hand."Anyone who dares to harm her will face my wrath." With that, Xavier socked him in the nose.Simon's nose was fractured and bled heavily after the punch."Stop it, Quinn. Simon's from the Xandor family! How could you—" Kimberly tried to reason with Quinn.However, Quinn sho

    Ian immediately went to drive the car over."I'm fine, really. I just need to rest a couple of days at home. Please don't worry about me. You've got stuff to do, so go ahead and take care of it," Xavier said, his face filled with concern for Quinn."We don't have time for this. We're going to the hospital right now."Even if there were no apparent injuries, getting hit by a car could cause internal injuries.Ian pulled up, got out, and opened the door for both of them."Come on, Xav, let's go to the hospital," Ian said as he reached out to help him get into the car.However, Xavier swatted his hand away to reject his assistance. "I'm alright. I can manage on my own." Despite saying that, he still weakly slumped against Quinn.Quinn had no choice but to help them into the car.Ian was rendered speechless. He wondered if Xavier was actually injured.As soon as they were in the car, Xavier leaned heavily against Quinn's shoulder, a look of discomfort etched on his face.In any c

    Moreover, being in the hospital was quite inconvenient. "I don't want to be admitted. I'd rather be home than in the hospital—I hate it here."Xavier detested hospitals more than anything. He felt completely restricted.Quinn rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did you perhaps hit your head in the car accident? Do you really think you have any say in this? You better stay for a couple of days; otherwise, if anything happens to you, you'll have no one but yourself to blame."Ian couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xavier being told off by Quinn."What's so funny?" Quinn snapped, irritated by Ian's laughter."I'm sorry, Quinn. I didn't mean to upset you. I'll go handle the admission details." Ian couldn't hold in his laughter any longer, so he quickly left the ward.Xavier probably got himself hit on purpose! Ian couldn't believe he actually went through such lengths to woo Quinn. It seemed that love could truly make one do crazy things.With Daniel's departure, Xavier and Quinn wer

    "You want to take a shower?" Quinn asked. Should he even be showering in his current state?Xavier hummed in response and said, "Yeah, I feel uncomfortable."Upon seeing his filthy state, Quinn agreed, saying, "Go ahead and shower then. If you feel any discomfort, call me. I'll be right outside."Given that he was a man, it was inappropriate for her to assist him in showering.Xavier grunted in response and went into the bathroom.Quinn sat on the couch, feeling restless as the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.After a while, she suddenly realized that he probably needed a pair of fresh underwear after showering. Hence, she got up and went to the convenience store downstairs to buy some for him.When she returned and noticed that he was still in the bathroom, she gently knocked on the door and asked, "Xavier? Are you not done yet?"Didn't men usually take quick showers? It had been 20 minutes since he had gone in. Why was he taking so long? Could he have fainted

    Quinn hated hospitals. They always reminded her of painful experiences."You take the bed; I'll be fine on the couch," Xavier said as he settled into the couch. As a gentleman, he felt it was only right to offer Quinn the bed."You should sleep in the bed. You're the patient here," Quinn insisted. One was sitting on the couch, while the other stood before it."You should get some rest now. You've had a long day."After flying back from Dudore and working half a day, an unexpected incident had actually happened in the evening. "You take the bed, Xavier," Quinn insisted again."Alright then."Given her stubbornness, Xavier had no choice but to sleep on the bed. Upon seeing Xavier obediently lying down on the bed, Quinn finally settled on the couch."If you feel any discomfort, be sure to call me. I'm going to sleep now."With that, Quinn closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, her tiredness finally overcoming her.Even in her dream, she was in the hospital. She relived the nig

    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
