Quinn''s eyes shot up, locking onto Alexander''s.


    He gave a little smirk and said, "Not hungry now? Just eatter."


    Quinn stared hard, trying to find something familiar in his face, but nope, just a stranger.


    Then, his phone buzzed in his pocket.


    Alexander pulled it out-Ruby was calling.


    He shoved the phone back, ruffled Quinn''s hair, and said in his usual soft tone, "Rest up and eat right." With that, he strolled out with his phone.


    After he left, Quinn''s eyes drifted to Olivia on the floor.


    Olivia looked at Quinn with puppy-dog eyes, wanting to tell her to eat but too scared to say a word. Quinn nced at the now-cold food on the table.


    Olivia kept staring. Under her hopeful gaze, Quinn slowly reached out and grabbed the bowl. Olivia let out a big sigh of relief.


    Quinn ate like a robot, not tasting a thing, just swallowing it down.


    Out of sheer stubbornness, she almost finished all the food, which was her usual daily amount. Olivia watched, looking even more worried.


    Quinn said, "I''m done. You can get up now."


    Olivia sighed in relief, stood up, and started clearing the table. "Mrs. Kennedy, you okay?"


    "I''m fine." Quinn looked down at the bandage on her wrist, her eyes flickering.


    Olivia didn''t notice and quickly cleaned up the dishes to report to Alexander.


    Alexander hadn''t left. He was in the hallway, still on the phone.


    Olivia carried the tray over to show him. He nced at it and nodded, signaling her to go downstairs.


    On the phone, Ruby asked, "Is Walter really dead?"


    Alexander scoffed, "So, you nning to avenge him too?"


    Ruby was silent for a moment before saying, "My grandpa valued him a lot. This is causing a big mess. I''m just worried you might get into trouble."

    Leaning against the railing, Alexander said, "Don''t worry. Just do your job."


    Ruby asked, "What should I say if my grandpa asks about it?"


    Alexander replied, "I''ll handle it."


    Ruby sighed. "Alright then, just be careful."


    As soon as Alexander hung up, Kyle came running over with the info on Apex Holdings Group.


    He handed the info to Alexander and reported, "Apex Holdings Group started just a year ago. It''s not big, but its investors are pretty high up." Alexander asked, "How high up?"


    Kyle replied, "They''re foreigners and tight with the Vide Group."


    Alexander casually flipped through the info and said, "Looks like Landon is still in Amber Bay."


    "What do you mean?" Kyle asked, confused.


    "Send someone to find him. Use any means necessary to bring him back to me." Alexander pped the info against Kyle''s chest. "Got it?" Kyle nodded. "Got it. I''ll send someone right away."


    "Wait."


    Kyle asked, "Mr. Kennedy, anything else?"


    Alexander rubbed his fingertips, thinking. "If he''s in Amber Bay, it''s probably for Aurora. Keep an eye on her and use her to lure Landon out." Kyle''s eyes lit up. "Why didn''t I think of that? Got it!"


    Aurora was Landon''s mom. Alexander had used fake news of Landon''s death to lure her out, making her show up as the chairman to appoint a CEO. But she didn''t buy it and kept stalling. She stayed in Amber Bay and refused to go abroad, which meant she hadn''t contacted Landon yet. This was getting interesting.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Landon was ruthless, but only to outsiders. He valued Aurora more than his own life.


    Plus, his move to Amber Bay and joining the Kennedy Group wasn''t just about the inheritance.


    People are funny like that; the more they miss something in childhood, the more they cling to it as adults.
