Under Alexander's watchful gaze, Quinn had no choice but to release him. After a brief moment of reflection, Alexander turned and exited the room.

Frowning, he turned around to find Getty standing there, gazing at him with a pitiful expression, like an abandoned puppy.
Alexander paused his dialing, pocketed his phone, and turned to face Getty.
Getty spoke softly, "Alexander." Alexander asked, "Yes?" Getty's eyes were red and filled with tears as she approached Alexander cautiously. "Why are you treatingso coldly?" Alexander maintained his calm composure as he locked eyes with Getty, unmoved by her tears. "I've already expressed my feelings," he stated firmly.
Getty reached out, clutching Alexander's arm and struggling to hold back her sobs. "Why? Have you... have you fallen for that mute... Quinn Mellon?" Alexander furrowed his brow subtly, stayed silent for a moment, and then gently withdrew Getty's hand. Speaking coldly, he said, "I can't elaborate on it, but I trust you comprehend that you shouldn't be seen in her presence. Clear?" Getty lowered her head, remaining silent for a long time.

Getty continued, "I can promise to stay away from Quinn, but could you please stop being so indifferent towards me?" Alexander said, "If I don't agree, are you going to threatenwith suicide again?" Getty shook her head. "I didn't threaten you. Didn't you askto prove it to you?" Getty's statement left Alexander speechless. In reality, Getty hadn't used suicide as a threat; she had cut her wrist in response to Alexander's demand for proof.
If Alexander hadn't intervened to save Getty, she would have perished by now, making it more of a desperate act than a threat.
"Alright, go back." Alexander clearly didn't want to continue the conversation. He added, "Behave yourself. Don't cause trouble for me." Getty seemed to ease up upon hearing the tone of Alexander's voice. Her face brightened, and she nodded enthusiastically.
