After Nadia left with Lesley, Quinn and Xavier were alone by the river. Xavier stood in front of Quinn, shielding her from the wind.Quinn wanted to have a smoke, but when she reached down for her cigarettes, she realized that she was still in her gown and didn't have her cigarettes with her.When he saw that, Xavier wordlessly went into his Cullinan, which had been parked by the side of the road, and took out his pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He pulled out a single cigarette and perched it on his lips before igniting it and taking two long drags. This action only made Quinn more frustrated. She really hadn't anticipated that Xavier would follow her here.He had taken her virginity, and she had stabbed him in the chest. Even if he hadn't died from the wound, they were both even now. So why had he followed her here?Just then, Xavier offered the cigarette on his lips to Quinn. "You wanted a smoke, didn't you?"Quinn wasn't one to be pretentious, so she opened her mouth. A
Quinn glared at him. Why was Xavier making such suggestive sounds?"I'm sorry. I wasn't able to hold it in for a while there."Quinn was left speechless.With skilled moves, he disinfected her wound and bandaged it wound up. After he was done, he looked at her with a deep gaze."I've treated your wound. Now, what about mine? Shouldn't you help me with mine too?" The fact was, he was fully capable of dealing with his wound himself, but he wanted her to help him with it. A malicious glint flashed in Quinn's eyes before she nodded. "Alright. I'll help you." She got up from the couch and pushed him onto it instead."Take your shirt off," she commanded."You take it off for me. My wound hurts." Xavier sat on the couch, exuding a dominating air.He had a deep pair of eyes, giving off the illusion that he was always looking at everyone and everything affectionately. Quinn flexed her fingers before smirking. "Sure!" Then, she wormed her way between his legs and ripped his shirt down
"What are you trying to do, Quinn? You should know there are surveillance cameras here!" Simon wanted to pull Quinn away once he saw what was happening. Ultimately, Kimberly was his fiancée, so he couldn't possibly let Quinn mess with her.To his surprise, Xavier's massive hand blocked him from getting close.He wanted to shove Xavier's hand away, but Xavier held his shoulder with an iron grip. Simon felt like his collarbone might almost get crushed into dust just then."Where do you think you're going? We should let the women handle their affairs. Your opponent is me," said Xavier. Then, he turned to Quinn and said nonchalantly, "Do whatever you want, Quinny. You've got me to back you up!""Apologize!" Quinn barked at Kimberly.Insulting Lisa was like stabbing Quinn's sore spot. Quinn refused to let anyone smear her mother's name in the slightest.Kimberly remained silent and resisted. However, the tightness around her neck wasn't a pleasant sensation. Quinn was a psychop
Before Quinn could sit, Maurice had Gerald bring over an equity transfer agreement."You're still young and have no clue how to manage a company, Quinny. It's better if I run it for you. You can just receive dividends every month instead." Maurice turned to Gerald and said, "Gerald, give Quinny the equity transfer agreement so she can sign it."Even Gerald grew more confident now that there were a dozen bodyguards in the villa. He didn't think Quinn would dare do anything to him since he was Maurice's subordinate. Plus, what happened five years ago had been swept under the rug without any problems. What could Quinn, a young lady with a father who didn't care about her and a mother who didn't love her, do?With that in mind, Gerald said, "Here's the equity transfer agreement, Ms. Jowell."Quinn ignored Gerald and simply walked to the single seater couch and sat there. She noticed that Araminta and Kimberly weren't around. Perhaps they had hidden themselves somewhere.Araminta
Araminta hadn't thought that Quinn would show up at the office. After all, Maurice had hired around a dozen professional bodyguards for today.The shareholders who had just professed their loyalty to Araminta tensed in embarrassment at once.Quinn walked to Araminta's side while everyone watched on with scrutiny. "Move," Quinn snarled without sparing a glance at Araminta. She firmly felt that not just anyone could sit on the seat at the head of the conference table.All the color drained from Araminta's face. She had sat on the main chair for five years and contributed a lot to the development of Four Seasons Incorporated. Did she really have to give up her seat now that Quinn was back?Quinn frowned when Araminta didn't move. The corners of her eyes tauntingly creased as she wondered if all mistresses were as shameless as Araminta these days."We're in the office, Quinn. Please don't cause a scene." Araminta put on an unfazed, benevolent front."Am I causing a scene? I'm mer
Quinn had just left Four Seasons Incorporated when she noticed Xavier's striking Rolls-Royce Cullinan. She approached to lean against the door and knocked on the window.As the window rolled down, Xavier's piercing eyes came into view. He had casually undone the top few buttons of his shirt, revealing his sculpted and attractive chest. A pair of black dress pants covered his legs that went on for miles.Even the Cullinan's spacious leg area seemed too cramped for his long legs.On top of that, Xavier had a flawless face, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. Every inch of him, from top to bottom and inside out, drew others in alluringly. "Are you this free?" Quinn gazed into the car at Xavier.Xavier wasn't a patient man, but when it came to Quinn, he surprisingly had boundless patience. His gorgeous eyes focused on her with such intensity that it was as though he wanted to look into her soul."Whether I'm free depends on who's asking. For you, I'm always free," he replied in a
Maurice had come to settle the score with Quinn. Much to his dismay, he ended up with a mouthful of exhaust fumes from Xavier's Cullinan. It angered him so much that he yelled several curses at the sky."Alright, that's enough. It's not like she can hear you," Araminta uttered in exasperation.She had hinted at Maurice not to be reckless during the shareholders' meeting. Yet, he had acted like all his common sense had been thrown out the window.Once Maurice saw that Araminta wasn't in a good mood, he couldn't care less that they were out on the road in public. He hugged and kissed her at once. "Don't be upset. You can rest assured. Everyone in the company is loyal to me, and I can handle the project without a doubt. Besides, don't I have you by my side?""But Quinn still owns 36% of the company's shares!" That was the one thing that greatly bothered Araminta. She felt they would have more security if they could get those shares."Calm down. I'll definitely find a way to make he
Quinn hadn't had this nightmare in a long time. Everything about it made her throat constrict. She had dreamt about the time she and Lisa had been dumped in the borderlands. Back then, Lisa had been a beautiful woman who had been forced into insanity, while Quinn had been a pretty 15-year-old girl. It had been challenging for the two to survive in such a cruel, unforgiving place."Don't be afraid, Quinn. I'm here." That was when she heard a familiar voice whispering into her ear, causing her to push Xavier away.Xavier felt like someone had stabbed him and twisted a knife into his heart when he saw the tears on Quinn's face. He leaned in, kissing the teardrops on her face one by one.Every muscle in Quinn's body stiffened. She had never imagined that Xavier could do that. His warm lips kissed away every tear on her face. At that moment, Xavier was being affectionate, but in an innocent, sincere manner. There was no sexual nuance to his actions."Xavier?" she asked."Aren't y
