Love Unspoken

Chapter 1549 Quinn looked away and shook her head. "I'm good." Briar shot her a worried glance but didn't push it.

Back at Regal Riverside, Quinn holed up in her room all day.

Getty's words kept looping in her head, her fingers fidgeting with her phone. Could playing dumb really fix things? Didn't seem like it. Maybe in scases, but not always.

For the big stuff, it was like a thorn in her side. Ignoring it didn't make it go away.

Just when she was feeling down, Alexander called.

Quinn wasn't ready to deal with him, so she let it ring.

But Alexander was persistent and called again.

Quinn hesitated but finally picked up. "Why are you calling?" "Kyle just called me," Alexander said seriously. Kyle must've spilled everything, which was a relief since Quinn didn't know how to start.

"So, he told you everything?" Quinn said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Are you mad?" Alexander asked.

"Mad? Why would I be mad? You're so devoted, rushing to save your ex the moment you get back! Should I announce it to the world?" Quinn scoffed. Alexander chuckled. "Jealous." It wasn't a question.

His laugh made Quinn hang up in frustration.

Did he really think he was in the right? Should she applaud him? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She pulled up his number, ready to block him.

But then he called again.

She answered, snapping, "Here to brag about your nostalgia?" "Don't be mad. It wasn't me," Alexander said.

"Not you? Then who?" Quinn shot back.

"Think about it, Quinn. If it were me, would I leave her in Amber Bay for you to find out?" Alexander reasoned. Quinn paused. His words hit her like a ton of bricks, and everything suddenly made sense.

She'd been so wrapped up in her anger, she hadn't thought of that.

"Then who was it?" she asked, her tone softer.

"When we got back, wasn't Walter just leaving? He set this up before he left. If you hadn't called Kyle and I hadn't called you, Walter would've pulled it off again," Alexander explained. Quinn was silent.

"You still don't believe me?" Alexander asked.

"You're really not lying?" Quinn's voice wavered.

"Really," Alexander said seriously. "Trust me. If you don't, I can send her back." "Okay, I believe you." She paused, then added softly, "Sorry for misunderstanding." "Glad we cleared that up. Don't overthink it. I almost bought a ticket back as soon as I landed," Alexander said. "Go do your thing. I'm fine now," Quinn replied with a sigh. It made sense she was overthinking, given Alexander and Getty's history.

If it weren't for all the life-and-death stuff, Quinn might never have forgiven Alexander.

Just when Quinn decided to let go and give Alexander another shot, Getty showed up again, dragging all those buried memories and old feelings back to the surface.

After a moment of silence on the phone, Alexander said, "Wait forto cback." "Okay," Quinn replied, then hung up and set her phone down.

Even though the misunderstanding was cleared up, Getty's reappearance still brought back painful memories. Alexander stared at his dark phone screen, lost in thought.

"Mr. Kennedy!" Sean crunning over, wiping sweat from his forehead and panting. "Sorry, I'm late." Alexander snapped out of it and looked at him. "Did anyone else know I was here?" Sean shook his head and handed over his luggage. "Nope. Rest assured, no one knows your whereabouts." Alexander nodded. "Let's go." Sean had been secretly keeping tabs on the Lynch family, especially Walter.

On the way, he filled Alexander in on recent events. Even though Walter was a fringe member of the Lynch family, he had gained significant influence with Zeke, which was why Zeke hadn't pressured Alexander to return. Zeke knew that if Alexander cback, he couldn't balance the relationship between Alexander and Walter. However, the one suffering was Calvin, whose life had becquite difficult. The decision on who would take over the business in Municity was still up in the air, causing internal strife as everyone wanted to be in charge.

If Zeke gained control of that area, he would be unbeatable within the Lynch family, so naturally, others wouldn't concede. Calvin's assignment was made by Kieran, and since Calvin wasn't truly part of the Lynch family, there were no objections Now that a Lynch family member was to take over, objections arose.

Walter also had his eye on the position, but given his current awkward status, it wasn't easy for him to achieve his goal.

However, Walter might have other means, which was why Alexander had come.

Calvin didn't know Alexander was here. After many struggles, he finally gave up.

He stopped going to the company, spending his days in debauchery, which made him seem carefree to outsiders.

"I don't know much. Our influence in Arcturus is limited, so it's hard to get detailed information on the Lynch family," Sean reported. He had placed people within the Lynch family, but the information he got was limited.

Alexander rubbed his temples and asked, "How's the investigation on the Mellon family going?" "No leads. That was your grandfather's era. Now that he's gone, it's hard to investigate," Sean replied.

Alexander frowned.

He had been researching the Mellon family, but he hadn't cacross! any valuable information; after all, it had been many years.

Why did Ulysses wipe out the Mellon family? Why did the Lynch family And why did they escape the sfate? These questions remained unanswered. Feeling overwhelmed, Alexander suddenly clutched his chest and started coughing.

Sean gave him a worried look. "Mr. Kennedy, are you okay?" Alexander waved him off. "I'm fine." Sean watched him for a moment before turning his attention back to driving.

He couldn't help but worry, remembering Calvin saying that Alexander's health was severely damaged and almost beyond repair.
