NovelEnglishChapter 1048 Quinn's head was a mess, and she really didn't wanna chat with him. She blurted out, "What the hell is going on? Where are we?" Walter ignored her question, his eyes zeroing in on her neck. "Where's the pendant I gave you?" Quinn shrugged. "I don't know." He frowned a bit, like he was piecing something together, then turned to the door and yelled, "Get in here." A second later, a young dude in a black suit walked in. "Sir." Walter ordered, "Send sguys to Amber Bay to get the pendant. Don't let it end up with Alexander." The young guy nodded. "Got it." After he left, Quinn stared at Walter, even more confused. She couldn't help but ask, "What's so special about that pendant?" Walter explained, "It's super valuable. Without it, you wouldn't have been able to trick those doctors and their machines." The stuff inside the pendant, when you breathed in a lot, would mess you up. If you were already weak, it would make things worse, making your vital signs like breathing and heartbeat go haywire. That's why Soren couldn't feel her heartbeat.
Plus, the pendant's material messed with machines. Except for blood tests, other equipment would show a 30% drop in all bodily functions.
It was a dangerous piece of work because when your body got super weak, you'd look almost dead. Breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure would get so faint, you'd seem like a goner.
One tiny mistake could turn that fake death into the real deal.

Quinn didn't get it all, but she was totally shocked.
She stared at Walter, stunned. "So, you planned this from the moment you gavethat thing?" Walter nodded, "Yep, and it's clear Alexander really cares about you since he didn't let you lose it." That the pretended to kiss Quinn was just to throw Alexander off. He knew Quinn and Alexander would clash over this. Once they did, Alexander wouldn't ditch the pendant, or their relationship would get even messier. Quinn asked, "If that's the case, why did you still lead him up the mountain?" Walter gave her a knowing look. "Don't you get it yet?" He explained, "If he had been killed then, none of this would be happening now." He paused and laughed mockingly. "Actually, it was expected. You couldn't do it." Quinn stared at him blankly. Only now did she fully get his whole plan.
If Alexander were dead, they'd be chill.
If they failed to kill him, everything that followed would be Walter's payback for her.
She was in total despair, wanting to die. The stuff in the pendant sped up her physical breakdown, making her spend a month in pain and self-torment.

Both he and Alexander had seen this coming. He knew Alexander wouldn't dare kill him, and Alexander bet she wouldn't be able to do it. In their game, what role did she play? She was just a pawn.
In the end, she was the fool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe guilt and sorrow she had felt over the past month seemed so ridiculous.
Walter laughed. He said proudly, "See, I promised to take you away, didn't I? Alexander will never never find you again.
He'll spend the rest of his life in pain and torment, which is way more fun than killing him." Quinn turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him anymore. She couldn't be mad at Walter, nor could she accept his methods.
Seeing this, Walter said quietly, "After all the trouble to get you out, your won't go back to see him again, will you?"
