The utterance of these words from his lips appeared rather ludicrous.


    Alexander listened quietly, offering no retort.


    Wayne continued, "Your mother has always been like this. If you can''t ept it, you can follow my path and cut tiespletely." Alexander questioned, "Won''t she retaliate?" Wayne dismissed, "Are you afraid of her?"


    He didn''t care about Kaitlyn''s schemes as long as she had no leverage over him. "She''s like a clown to me, very childish."


    After a brief silence, Alexander stood up abruptly. "I''m leaving." This time, he didn''t hesitate, walking out without a second nce and grabbing an umbre from the corner.


    In the dark basement, Quinn had been waiting for his return. Suddenly, she doubled over in pain, losing consciousness. Unbeknownst to her, the person she longed for had returned. Alexander instinctively looked at the conspicuous wooden board. He kicked it open, but it was pitch ck inside.


    He crouched, using his phone''s light to search, finding nothing but clutter.


    "Alexander!" Kaitlyn rushed in; she saw Alexander crouched at the entrance of the basement, her countenance shifting dramatically.


    Alexander stood up, meeting her gaze.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    Kaitlyn grabbed his arm, "What are you doing here in this rain? Come with me!"


    He didn''t budge, "What''s the matter?"


    Kaitlyn gave up trying to pull him and said, "Allen is here; you should go see her."


    Alexander''s expression darkened, and his voice turned cold. "Will it ever end?"

    Kaitlyn quickly added, "I''m not forcing you to meet her. It was her mother who arranged it. You can find a reason to refuse."


    "If I tell her, I''ll lose face." Kaitlyn was indeed concerned about her reputation, having always been able to make her own decisions. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have gone to such lengths to force him into marriage. After a moment, Kaitlyn gritted her teeth and said, "If you refuse this time, I will never introduce anyone to you again, okay? Don''t embarrass me."


    Alexander shook off her hand and headed towards the living room. Kaitlyn breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to the maid.


    The maid nodded in understanding.


    Once they were gone, the maid called for two people to open the iron gate and bring Quinn out.

Quinn was currently unconscious, being carried in someone''s arms, looking fragile. Her head hung low, wet hair covering her face, and she was running a fever.


    "What should we do with Quinn now?" the maid asked anxiously. "We need to find another ce to keep her. Alexander is already suspicious," Kaitlyn replied.


    "But where else can we go?"


    The rain poured down on them, drenching everyone, including Quinn.


    The cold raindrops brought Quinn back to consciousness.


    Kaitlyn, feeling a bit annoyed, was thinking about where to hide Quinn when she turned her head and saw Alexander standing not far away, holding an umbre and staring straight at them. More precisely, he was staring at Quinn in the bodyguard''s arms.
