Upon spotting him, Quinn instinctively tightened her hold on her phone. Rising from her seat, she was on the verge of making a swift exit. However, Walter, brimming with confidence, approached her.


    Noticing her attempt to flee, he swiftly reached out, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.


    Quinn stumbled,nding on the couch. She watched him, her eyes filled with wariness.


    Walter, however, made no move to harm her. Instead, he simply took a seat beside her, reaching up to brush a stray lock of hair from her ear. "Am I that terrifying?" he asked, a smile ying on his lips. Quinn''s rigid posture betrayed her fear. Walter''s finger lingered on her head, his gaze fixated on her. After a few seconds of silence, he continued, "It seems you remember now."Suppressing her fear, Quinn raised her hand, gesturing as she asked, "What are you here for?""Me?"


    Walter responded, his smile softening. He began to stroke her head gently, as if she were a beloved pet. "I''m here to clear up your doubts. You must have a lot of questions."


    Quinn pursed her lips, choosing to remain silent. She was indeed filled with doubts, but she had no desire to hear the answers from Walter. He had a habit of deceiving her.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Without further ado, Walter produced a phone and tossed it onto herp. Quinn stared at the phone screen, her gaze flickering. A paused video was disyed on the screen. Even in its paused state, she could make out her and Chandler''s figures.


    Quinn''s hands moved of their own ord, picking up the phone and pressing y on the video. The video had been edited and was ying at a fast-forward pace. The scene of Chandler pouring her a drink shed by in mere seconds. It wasn''t until Chandler brought out the camera that the video returned to its normal speed. Quinn stared at the phone screen and thements disyed above. There was no denying that this was a recording of a livestream. As she continued to watch, Quinn''s face grew increasingly pale. She abruptly hit the pause button and tossed the phone back to Walter.


    Walter turned his head to look at her. "Now, do you understand what happened?"Quinn pursed her lips, her lower lip trembling slightly.


    She had been watched by thousands of people. The thought of thements on the video filled her with despair, and she closed her eyes. "What? Can''t ept it?" Walter asked. "If I hadn''t shown up, perhaps the video would have been far more... entertaining."Quinn''s eyes snapped open, and she shot him a pleading look, begging him to say no more.


    Walter leaned his elbow on the back of the sofa, leaning in closer to Quinn. "Do you know why I was there?"Before Quinn could respond, he continued, "Because Alexander''s men didn''t show up.""He never intended toe in the first ce.""Or rather, from the very beginning, when he asked you to meet Chandler, it was all part of his n. You must be wondering what his n was."

    Walter chuckled, "Evidently, his n was to let Landon know that he and I are working together.""So, the question remains. Why did Ie to your rescue?"At his words, Quinn''s face turned ashen, herplexion resembling that of a corpse. She stared at Walter''s smiling face, shaking her head in denial. She didn''t want to believe his words! Not only because he had deceived her, but also because as long as she didn''t believe him, the video could be dismissed as a fake. It was a video that Walter had fabricated to deceive her. Walter reached out, grabbing her chin and halting her movements. "It doesn''t matter if you don''t believe me.


    There wille a day when you will, but for now, you have to believe that Chandler is dead."Quinn''s pupils contracted, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. Chandler''s death had been reported in the news. If she connected it with Walter''s words, there would be no inconsistencies. But she didn''t dare to believe him.


    Walter rubbed his chin, peering into her eyes. "Don''t you want to know why I saved you?"Quinn clenched her fingers together, tugged at the corner of her mouth, and fell into silence.
