Kaitlyn swiftly collected herself, her posture regaining its usual dignity. "Am | mistaken?" she retorted, her voice
echoing in the tense silence.
"You extend more kindness to strangers than to your own kin," she continued, her words laced with bitterness.
"You treat those women, Getty, that dummy, as if they were priceless gems."
She paused, her gaze piercing Alexander as she added, "Letmake this clear, my boy. If you fail to rescue
Freya, don't expectto play nice."
Alexander met her gaze, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he responded, "And how do you intend to
be 'not nice'?"
Kaitlyn scoffed, "Enough with your sarcasm. Just ensure your sister's safety. | may not have the power to save
Freya, but | can certainly arrange for two people to be imprisoned."
Her threat hung heavy in the air, a clear warning to her son.
A cold, cynical smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's mouth. "Then I'd like to see you try," he challenged.
Before Kaitlyn could retort, he turned on his heel and strode away, not sparing her a backward glance.
Kaitlyn watched him go, her body trembling with suppressed rage. Her nails dug into her palms as she glared at
his retreating figure. His obvious lack of concern for Freya sent a chill through her heart. She could hardly believe
that this was the son she had raised.

entertainment news. The headline was all about Getty, the industry's rising star, and the powerhouse behind her
scene-stealing presence-none other than Alexander!
The article was littered with photographs. There were numerous shots of Getty, and a few candid images of
Alexander. One showed him at the airport, his arm casually slung around Getty. Another depicted him visiting
Getty's home, whispering something into her ear. Despite the grainy quality, the images painted a picture of a
perfect couple.
As Quinn scrolled further, she cacross solo shots of Alexander. Dressed in a sharp suit, he stood amidst a
crowd at an industry event, his striking features stealing the spotlight.
The article went on to detail his background: CEO of Landon Corp, stepping up as the heir apparent at just 23.
The story had gone viral.
Public appearances were rare for Alexander. Many were unaware of his existence, let alone his appearance. The
world was not short of wealthy individuals or young entrepreneurs, but a handsome, young CEO was a rarity that
caught people's attention.

Alexander. The top comment read: "Finally know the difference between a mogul and a boss." The next most
