Semua Bab Falling into Her Trap of Love: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Maurice left to take a shower, leaving only Kimberly and Araminta in the living room. "Mom, you're amazing. Dad listens to you completely."Previously, Kimberly had been very jealous of Quinn. After all, Quinn had taken Maurice away from her. Even though Kimberly was also his daughter, her life had been much more difficult.Meanwhile, Quinn had been the princess of Jipsfort, free to act as she pleased; no one dared to criticize her.Back then, Kimberly had had to force herself to be friends with Quinn. Every moment she had spent with Quinn had felt like torture.But now, things had changed. The man Quinn liked had become Kimberly's fiancé, and she was about to join M Research Institute, making her object of everyone's envy. Maurice was her dad alone, and Four Seasons Incorporated would be hers too.Quinn would never be able to take away what rightfully belonged to her."Kimberly, you're my daughter, and you're already exceptional. Learn to control your emotions, and you'll be ver

"Simon, do you have a death wish?" As Simon was in a panic, Xavier lifted him up and shoved him against the railing by the river.Behind him was the surging river, and in front of him stood the menacing man."I'll give you money! Whatever amount you want!" Simon blurted out. "I'll give you enough money so you'll never have to go to the borderlands again."Xavier chuckled, finding it amusing that someone was trying to offer him money. "Money, huh?""Yes, yes." Simon nodded frantically. He couldn't die here. He was the heir to the Xandor family and a first-year postgraduate student at M Research Institute. His future was bright. He couldn't die at the hands of this thug!"How much are you thinking of offering? Let's see if it's enough to tempt me."Simon was too terrified to notice the sarcasm in Xavier's tone and the mocking look in his eyes."How about five million dollars? I'll give you five million and won't hold you accountable for breaking my hand. Just stay away from Quin

Simon only felt a pounding headache. The sensation of choking on water had been unpleasant, and his throat still burned with pain.He had nearly drowned, and Xavier had just watched it all unfold."Simon, are you even listening to me? What's going on with you? You're such a disappointment! You're just like your dad! What kind of spell have Lisa and Quinn put you two under?" Shania yelled hysterically.Lisa had ruined her life, and now Quinn seemed intent on destroying Simon's."Mom, this is between me and Quinn. Stay out of it. I'll handle it on my own." Simon finally spoke up, but his words only fueled Shania's anger."Handle it? How? Is she pestering you? She's just as crazy as her mother. I won't allow you to get involved with someone like that!""Mom, I'm an adult. I know what I'm doing. Can you please stop making decisions for me? You've always done that, and whenever I don't follow your wishes, you blow up at me. It's suffocating!"Shania looked at Simon in disbelief. "You

Quinn made her way through Four Seasons Incorporated, only to find that no one seemed to acknowledge her presence.Now, the company was firmly under Maurice and Araminta's control.Since Quinn had been abandoned in the borderlands for five years, everyone figured she had likely missed out on college. She couldn't possibly compete with the shrewd Maurice and Araminta, who had graduated from the prestigious Dudore University.Early that morning, Maurice had learned that Quinn had been released from the police station.He had expected her to be detained for at least a while longer, so he was taken aback that she had managed to get out the very night before.But what difference did it make? These two projects were indeed challenging, but as the president of the company, Maurice had access to numerous people who could assist with even the most difficult of tasks.In contrast, Quinn had no one to support her. After all, she was just a naïve young lady."No matter what, you're still my

Luna took charge of the hiring process and posted job openings online. As the sole leader of the project team, she had to recruit the necessary members herself.After a rigorous screening process, she narrowed it down to five candidates. Quinn met with them personally. When the five candidates saw that both the persons-in-charge were so young, they couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy."Ms. Jowell, is it really just going to be the seven of us for such a big project?" On top of that, Quinn was a shareholder and wouldn't be personally involved, meaning there were really only six of them.At the moment, Quinn was flipping through the files with their information. As always, Luna's work was reliable. These five candidates had their own unique strengths, but they were all fresh out of college with no experience."Yes, just the seven of us." Quinn set down the files."This project is a tough one. Since our company launched it, it's been stalled for a long time. What are your thoughts?
