Kaitlyn whirled around in surprise, her heart pounding. She hadn't expected Alexander to be home. She quickly
recovered her equilibrium, her voice taking on a stern tone. "You don't even offer a greeting before demanding to
know someone's whereabouts? This house is teeming with people, Alexander. Whom are you seeking?"
Alexander's gaze swept over the mother and daughter before he repeated his question, his voice resolute.
"Where is Quinn?"
"Quinn, Quinn, always Quinn. Have you lost all regard for your own mother?" Kaitlyn retorted, her voice laced
with bitterness.
Alexander's brow furrowed, but he offered no further words to Kaitlyn. He turned on his heel and made for the
door.
As he neared the entrance, Kaitlyn's voice rang out, sharp and commanding. "Stop right there, Alexander!"
He didn't turn back.
Kaitlyn's voice rose in frustration. "Alexander, | said stop!" Her words carried an unspoken threat, a secret
language shared only between the two of them.
Finally, Alexander paused, his back still turned to Kaitlyn. She rose from the sofa and strode over to him,
positioning herself in front of him to meet his gaze.
"Alexander, I've heard about the company. The old man summoned you back for business matters, didn't he?"
Kaitlyn questioned, her eyes locked onto his.
His gaze met hers, his voice nonchalant. "And?"
Kaitlyn, slightly irked by his demeanor, softened her voice. "Alexander, you're my son. Would your mother ever
wish to harm you?"

"Freya told me. You helped her sell her shares. If I'm not mistaken, they're now in your possession, correct?"
Kaitlyn continued, her voice steady.
Alexander's eyes narrowed, silently urging her to continue.
Kaitlyn pressed on, her voice laced with determination. "While I'm unsure of your intentions, I'm willing to
surrender my shares to you if you agree to divorce that dummy."
At this, Alexander couldn't suppress a laugh. Kaitlyn mistook his amusement for agreement. "She's just a
dummy, Alex. The Kennedys have supported her enough over the years. It's not worth sacrificing your happiness
for her. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"So you're suggesting that you'll only relinquish your shares if | divorce Quinn?" Alexander clarified, his voice
laced with incredulity.
"Exactly, my son. You can't be married to a dummy. Just divorce her, and if you wish to bring hsomeone like
that Getty girl, | wouldn't object!" Kaitlyn insisted, her voice filled with conviction. "Mom, do you still think I'm a
child?" Alexander questioned, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Kaitlyn was taken aback, momentarily at a loss for words.
His gaze was piercing, his eyes filled with a chilling detachment that sent a shiver down Kaitlyn's spine. They
were mother and son, yet his look was colder than that of a stranger. Without uttering another word, Alexander
turned and departed. Kaitlyn's fingernails dug deep into her palms as she watched his tall figure recede,
towering over her own stature. When had it becnecessary for her to crane her neck to look at him? She
realized then that he had grown up. He was no longer the obedient son who followed her every command.
A sharp pain lanced through Kaitlyn's chest. Clutching at her heart, she nearly collapsed but was steadied by a
nearby servant.
"I've always wanted what's best for him. How could he treatthis way?" Kaitlyn's voice choked up, filled with
grief and resentment.
