Despite the unfolding , he found himself devoid of a motive. Who could be behind it all?
Wayne was consumed by the enigma, racking his brain for every possible suspect. However, beyond Alexander,
the only remaining candidate was... Valerie's husband. "What's not what?" Alexander parroted, his tone laced
with curiosity.
"Nothing."Quinn's eyes roamed over Alexander's countenance. In stark contrast to Wayne's gloom, he seemed
remarkably serene.
As serene as a bystander to the unfolding . Yet, it made sense; Quinn had no deep ties to Valerie. They

urgency lacing her words.
Wayne shook his head, "We haven't confirmed the identity yet, but we should have an answer soon. We found
her ID in the bag; once they run the DNA, we'll know for sure."
Upon hearing this, Valerie's face blanched. She clenched her fists and, without drawing attention, cast a
surreptitious glance at Alexander.
But Alexander didn't return her gaze. He sauntered over to the couch and reclined leisurely, legs crossed and
head propped against the backrest in a display of nonchalant ease.Walter, too, was unusually reticent that
evening, not uttering a single word.
