Tears streamed down Getty''s face as she clung to Alexander, her voice quivering with emotion. "Ask her! All I did was move a box. Why is she so angry? I merely mentioned her throwing my box, and she pushed me! If you''re siding with her, then I suppose I''m out of luck!"


    Upon hearing her words, Alexander''s gaze shifted towards Quinn. Quinn had managed to rise from the ground, her face and clothes smeared with dirt, her eyes locked onto Alexander. She remained silent, understanding his decision the moment he had rushed to Getty''s side. She knew that any words she uttered would be in vain.


    "Can you stand?" Alexander asked Getty, his gaze averted from Quinn. Getty shook her head, a grimace of pain on her face. It was the second time she had twisted the same ankle. "I''ll take you to the hospital," Alexander dered. "But what about my belongings?" Getty asked, clinging to his neck and casting a pitiful nce at Quinn, clearly unwilling to let the matter drop. Alexander turned back to Quinn. "Pick them up," hemanded.


    Quinn''s lips tightened, but she remained still. Without another word, Alexander summoned a female assistant. "Watch her. She''s not to leave until she''s picked everything up." With that, he hoisted Getty into his arms and carried her to his car, leaving Quinn alone in the parking lot.


    Quinn stood there, dazed, watching as his car disappeared from the parking lot as though it had never been there. He would go to any lengths to keep Getty by his side, but when forced to choose between her and Getty, he always chose Getty.


    This was his twisted version of taking care of her for life, as he had once promised. Alexander was nothing more than a liar. Their rtionship was a far cry from what it once was. The assistant looked at Quinn with aplex expression. "Why would you provoke Getty? In thispany, everyone is fair game except her. Didn''t Kyle warn you when you first arrived? She''s Alexander''s darling."

    Quinn turned away, a bitter smile ying on her lips. ''Yes, Getty is the one he cherishes most. Where does that leave me?'' she wondered.


    "Let me help you with that. Just remember this. Stay away from Getty from now on, do you understand?" The secretary''s voice echoed as she bent down to gather the scattered items. Despite the sharp pain gripping her abdomen, Quinn bent down and began to collect the items back into the box.


    Once everything was picked up, the secretary instructed, "Just set this box aside somewhere. I''m heading back upstairs." Quinn nodded, expressing her gratitude with a look of thanks. After the secretary left, Quinn remained silent for a long while before finally bending down to lift the box.


    However, as soon as she gripped it, a warm sensation trickled down her leg. She froze in ce. She could feel the warmth seeping into her shoe. Taking several deep breaths, Quinn managed to crouch down and ce the box on the floor. She rolled up her pants to reveal a shoe stained red with blood. Her fingers tightened around the box as the cramps in her abdomen intensified, making it difficult to take even a single step. Shaking with pain, Quinn could no longer support herself and copsed to the ground.


    She pulled out her phone but was unsure who to call. Eventually, she silently opened a ride-hailing app and requested a ride. Dragging her weakened body outside thepany, she waited for the car. She removed her coat and ced it on the seat before directing the driver to the nearest hospital. She had been enduring the abdominal pains for days with the help of painkillers.


    This time, she couldn''t bear it any longer. Once in the emergency room, she finally allowed herself to rx. Darkness overtook her vision as she fainted in the examination room.
