"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to talk, don't. Just figure out a method to return the assets you've
transferred," Alexander stated with an icy detachment. Upon hearing this, Walter couldn't suppress a laugh.
"Really, Alexander, do you consider that to be a suitable request?" he asked.
"Your words, not mine, Walter. You're fully aware of the situation, no need to feign innocence. | assure you, this
conversation isn't being recorded," Alexander retorted. Walter's hand, clutching a cigarette, froze momentarily.
From the instant he had stepped into the car, his dialogue with Alexander had been meticulously guarded.
Alexander was a master of concealment, never revealing his intentions. Walter treaded carefully, always
responding to Alexander's statements with caution. He harbored a nagging fear that Alexander might have a
concealed recording device, ready to capture any indiscretion. One false step could mean he wouldn't be seeing
the outside of the Kennedy family's residence that evening.
Walter was startled by the speed at which Alexander had cut through his motives. He had always known
Alexander to be a formidable adversary, which was why he had been strictly adhering to the rules at the firm for
the past two years, patiently waiting for his moment. Now, just when Walter thought he had an opening,
Alexander had swiftly turned the tables. It was tto reevaluate this man.

over his features. "Alexander, | have a single question for you." "Go ahead."
"Do you truly understand Quinn's background?" Walter's tone had shifted, becoming less friendly and more
severe.
Alexander's brow furrowed at the question, but he remained silent.
After a few moments, Walter laughed, his customary smile reappearing. Alexander's silence had spoken volumes
to both of them.

As he opened the car door, Walter turned back to Alexander, "If you aspire to be the hero, Alexander, commit
fully. But if you choose the path of the villain, be absolutely merciless." "Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing."
With that, Walter exited the car and strode away without a backward glance. A light, misty rain blurred the
cityscape under the streetlights, enveloping the buildings in a hazy fog.
Under the glow of the streetlights, Walter's shadow elongated, stretching further and further until it finally
disappeared. Alexander watched the spot where Walter had vanished, his expression inscrutable. The facade
between them had been shattered, and the real battle was only just beginning.
Alexander stood before the sofa, his gaze falling upon the figure curled up on it. She had drawn herself into a
tight ball, her entire head buried in the cushions, hugging herself tightly as if mimicking a sleeping puppy.
Quinn's sleep was fitful and light. The slight shift in the sofa stirred her. She spun around in alarm, but upon
recognizing Alexander, she relaxed slightly, only for a trace of sadness to cloud her eyes once more. "Why are
you sleeping here again?" Alexander asked, reaching out to touch her cheek.
Quinn met his gaze, remaining in her protective posture.
