Walter''s smile faded slightly. "And there''s still Ginny.""With your smarts, brother-inw, can''t you take care of such a simple issue? Or is it that you just don''t care about Freya?" Walter''s smile deepened in the face of Alexander''s pressure. The deeper his smile, the more emotions he had to conceal. Nothing masked emotions better than a smile.


    "Of course."At Walter''s words, a light chuckle escaped Alexander. He extended his long hand and ced it on Walter''s shoulder. "You''ve worked hard, brother-inw.""You tter me, Oliver." Walter stood up and walked out without looking back.Alexander turned to watch his retreating figure, his own smile waning. Finally, Freya let out a long sigh of relief and rushed to stand beside Alexander. "Oliver, will he... will he really help me?"Freya knew Walter''s reaction was off; after all, they had been together for two years.Alexander''s gaze returned to her. "Freya, when choosing a man, make sure you see him clearly."


    A feeling of apprehension struck Freya. "What... what do you mean?"He reached out, gently tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Silly girl, why ask when you already know."Her gaze fixated on him, her face grew paler. She didn''t want to acknowledge the possibility that Walter had betrayed her.But Alexander''s words were like a death sentence."Why..." Freya''s strength seemed to drain from her as she staggered back and copsed onto the couch. Alexander didn''t bother to exin and turned to leave.Kaitlyn approached anxiously, "Alexander, where are you going?""To take care of business," he said tly, disappearing through the door.

    He settled into his car, lit a cigarette, and then made a phone call."Have someone tail Walter. Tell the guys at Regent Court to stay sharp.""Sure...Alexander, is Walter nning to make a run for it?"Alexander flicked the corner of his mouth into a half-smile, reached out the car window, and tapped off the ash from his cigarette. "Who knows," he said casually. Then he hung up. Walter was truly nning to make a run for it; sticking around didn''t make sense anymore. He wouldn''t darey a finger on Xavier, as that would only entangle him further in this mess.


    Once Xavier was gone, Freya was bound to get caught. Walter''s inaction would probably cause Freya to turn her love to hatred, and she''d drag him down without a second thought.


    Even if by a miracle Freya managed to get away, the shares would end up in Alexander''s hands. What would be the point of staying then?Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.

    The only move left was to burn his bridges, to bet it all on Xavier letting his guard down and getting Wayne involved to stand a chance against Alexander. Walter was barreling down the road in his car, pushing the speed to its limits. With the windows down, the wind roared in, tousling his hair. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, his face devoid of any smile, gripping the steering wheel as he headed towards the Grand River Estates.


    Suddenly, his phone rang in hisp. Walter slowed down a bit, pulled out his cellphone, turned on the speaker, and tossed it aside.


    "Don''t go to Grand River Estates; it''s a setup.


    "And you''ve got a tail."


    The caller hung up.


    Walter nced at the rearview mirror, his eyes flickered, and with a sharp turn of the wheel, he veered into an alley.
