Looking into his eyes, she presses her lips against his in a passionate kiss." Doriane, please stop immediately," Quentin reacted strongly as he pushed her away." How dare you kiss me without my consent? " he exclaimed.Doriane, taken aback by Quentin's vigorous reaction, stumbled backwards." Listen to me carefully. You are now one of my bodyguards, hired to protect me. Our relationship must remain strictly professional. Never make any illusions beyond that," Quantin continued with determination." And our first kiss last time? It didn't mean anything to you? " she asked timidly, with sad eyes." It was a mistake and it won't happen again. Please understand that I don't have those kinds of feelings for you," Quentin repeated.Doriane looked at Quentin with anger, her pride hurt." Fine, I get your message now," she retorted with a dry tone.Quentin solemnly nodded." Thank you. However, I expect a professional attitude from you from now on," he clarified.Doriane nods in agreement.

" Impossible! " exclaimed the judge vehemently as he pounded his fist on the table." How could your grandson, Quentin, have amassed such a fortune in such a short time? There must be something suspicious behind this," he added with insistence.Richard Reynolds gravely nodded his head and replied," Quentin is no longer considered my grandson. Let him be damned forever."" However, I fully agree with you that it is impossible to honestly earn 100 billion in one day. It is therefore likely that he is involved in a scam or money laundering," he continued." Or even worse! " added Jackson Reynolds." What if he's part of a criminal syndicate or a terrorist network? We must uncover the truth as quickly as possible," he suggested." You're absolutely right," the judge agreed." We will hire the best private detectives and investigators in the country to track down this young rascal. If he's involved in anything illegal, we'll find out," he concluded with determination.The three men shared

It was Mirenda, his former girlfriend from their university days. Quentin's palms became sweaty and his throat dried up.With confident steps, Mirenda approached him, a mocking smile forming on her lips. She looked more beautiful than ever, dressed in a tight red dress." Well, well, if it isn't Quentin. What a pleasant surprise," she whispered in a voice full of sarcasm.Quentin managed to force a trembling smile." Mirenda. What an unexpected pleasure! "" Indeed, it's unexpected. From what I recall, you could barely afford rent. And now here you are, mingling with royalty and opulence. What a rapid reversal of fortune," she exclaimed with a mocking laugh.Quentin's cheeks flushed with humiliation." I've done rather well for myself, as you can see."" It's evident. Although I never would have imagined the poor Quentin rising so high. You struggled to achieve anything. Did you perhaps enjoy certain... advantages to get where you are? " she added, fixing her eyes on him with a mischi

Suddenly, she changed the conversation, inquiring about the possibility of slipping away before Rao Torres returned." I must take my leave. It would be inappropriate for Mr. Torres to discover me here again," she exclaimed hastily.Quentin endeavored to learn her name." Please, kindly reveal your name before you go."She looked at him tenderly." My name is Meena. I am one of Mr. Rao Torres' cleaning ladies."Without another word, she hurriedly left the room. Once outside, Meena couldn't help but shed tears. Salty pearls traced her cheeks as sorrow overwhelmed her being.Her love for Quentin was sincere, yet she was aware that their union was destined for inevitable failure." I cannot imagine marrying a man of his social standing. The chasm that separates our classes is far too abyssal to be bridged," she thought.Without hesitation, she hurried towards the gardens of the hospital grounds and concealed herself behind a majestic oak tree, sinking into it as if swallowed by the eart

The kidnappers emit a cruel laughter as they watch Quentin kneel next to Meena's lifeless body." Behold this crybaby," one of them declares contemptuously." What a pathetic whiner!" the other adds, mimicking Quentin's tears.Furious, Quentin springs up and stands before the kidnappers, his eyes flashing with anger." You are monsters!" he roars." You will bitterly regret this!"Taken aback by Quentin's sudden outburst of anger, the kidnappers point their weapons at him." Stay where you are, or you'll end up like her !" they threaten.Quentin disregards their warnings and charges towards them with a cry of rage. A bullet whizzes past him, but he narrowly avoids it, violently grabbing the first kidnapper's arm to wrestle the weapon away from him.The other one fires, but Quentin takes cover behind his accomplice, using him as a human shield." Save yourself, you idiot !" shouts the shielded kidnapper.Quentin forcefully hurls the first kidnapper at the second, causing them both to
