Oliver mulled over the situation before finally voicing his thoughts. "I''ll approach Alexander. If he consents to back off, we might be able to untangle this mess." He was acutely aware of therger implications. If they continued to fixate on the sabotaged brakes and persistently shed with Alexander, they would ultimately be the ones to bear the brunt of the fallout.


    After all, it was Abigail who had struck someone with her car. Alexander was the one holding all the aces. The most intelligent course of action was to appeal to his better nature and ask him to let the matter slide.


    Mr. Vanderbilt responded with a solemn nod. "That''s our only recourse at this point. You have a good rapport with him. Try to convince him."


    "Alright." Oliver cast a nce back at Abigail. She appeared deted, likely intending to maintain a low profile for the foreseeable future.


    Quinn had scoured every corner of the inte. It was awash with criticism against Abigail. The online vitriol was palpable. A typical car ident might trend for a day or two before fading into oblivion.


    But Abigail''s crash was a different beast altogether. As a heiress embroiled in a severe ident, the incident was a ma for sensation-seeking bloggers and the green-eyed masses. The incident had exploded within hours, spiraling out of control.


    In the midst of the online uproar, Quinn found no inkling of Abigail''s fate. She couldn''t resist sending Abigail a message, but received no response. She dared not seek her out in person, fearful that Alexander''s wrath might exacerbate the situation. Quinn felt powerless, confined to her home, consumed by worry.


    At the office, Kyle ryed the incident.


    "With the current state of affairs, it''s impossible to keep this under wraps. The authorities will inevitably intervene, and it''s highly likely that Abigail will end up behind bars."


    Alexander nonchntly flipped through a file. "And the two thugs?"


    "Eliminated, reduced to ashes."ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    "Understood. You may leave."


    Kyle nodded and cast a nce towards the cubicle area. Getty was injured and recuperating at home. Her absence lent a refreshing change to the office atmosphere.


    He never would have surmised that Alexander would retaliate against Abigail for Getty''s sake. Abigail had merely pped Getty once, but Alexander had harbored a grudge for an extended period. Clearly, Getty held more significance in Alexander''s life than Kyle had initially perceived.


    Getty was ecstatic. She had assumed that Alexander wouldn''t defend her, but he had made a significant move on her behalf. If she were not currently incapacitated, she would have rushed to the office to shower him with affection. Instead, she resorted to posting on her social media, captioning her picture with, "Those who love you will love you in their own way."


    Getty''s friend list was extensive. Being in close proximity to Alexander, she had virtually added everyone from his circle. And since they mostly shared mutual friends, once one person liked her post, it would be visible to everyone. Many were aware of the incident where Alexander had coerced Abigail into apologizing to Getty for pping her at The Cube. Now, with Abigail''s major mishap, Getty''s new post had everyone specting about the situation. Her post instantly set minds racing.

    Quinn was among those who had ess to Getty''s posts. Getty kept Quinn in her circle, primarily to unt her joyous moments. However, Quinn and Getty didn''t share many mutual friends, so she could only view a handful ofments. For instance, Spencer: "I''ll be damned."


    Freya: "Could it really be what I''m thinking?"


    Last Night''s Dream: "Getty is my new idol!"


    Ryan: "What''s happening? I go abroad for a few days and can''t keep up with you guys."


    Quinn exited her social media app, her gaze dropping solemnly.


    So, he had done that for Getty. She had previously worked at Abigail''s store, and Alexander had never had an issue with Abigail. However, ever since Abigail had pped Getty, Alexander''s demeanor had shifted. And with Abigail''s recent faux pas, it seemed he was settling old scores.


    Quinn''s defiance had merely ignited Alexander''s thirst for revenge.
