Quinn stumbled out of the hospital, her mind all foggy. The cold wind outside made her feel like she could just float away. A voice cut through her haze, "Did I lie to you?"


    She looked up and saw Walter chilling at the corner, arms crossed, leaning against his car with that annoying smirk.


    She tried to say something, but nothing came out.


    The news had hit her like a ton of bricks.


    Walter swung open the car door. "Get in."


    Quinn slid into the car, still spaced out, her eyes nk.


    Walter fired up the engine, "You said you were gonna take over the Mellon Group. Imagine trying to meet clients with a big belly."


    Quinn shot him a re. "None of your damn business."


    "You''re my sister, right? It matters. We used to be close, and now you''re acting like I''m a stranger. Remember when you begged me to get you outta there?" Walter shot back. Quinn was taken aback, speechless.


    She had begged him to help her escape from Alexander. They had amon enemy back then. She''d even tried to off herself when she thought Walter was dead.


    After what felt like forever, Quinn finally said, "You lied to me first."


    "True. Hate me all you want. But don''t push me away because of Alexander," Walter said.


    He went on, "Like you said, what happens between you and Alexander is your deal. What happens between us is separate. If you hate me because of him, it means you''re on his side. So, are you?" Quinn felt cornered by his twisted logic.


    If she said she was on Alexander''s side, then asking Walter for help would seem ridiculous.


    She stayed quiet, not knowing what to say.


    Walter pressed, "Am I making sense?"Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t wanna talk to you," Quinn muttered.


    "Fine, talk when you''re ready," Walter replied.


    Walter drove her back to thepany. She still hadn''t finished reading the documents, didn''t know the senior execs, and was clueless about the business.


    But she couldn''t focus.


    She stared at the same page for half an hour.


    She didn''t even notice when Walter sat next to her with another document and finished reading it.


    He suddenly said, "These two projects don''t add up with the profits."


    Quinn snapped out of her daze, "What are you talking about?"


    Walter stood up and dropped the document in front of her. "Check it out yourself."
