GoodReadUpon hearing a word that struck a sour note, a slight furrow creased Alexander's brow.
He cast a warning glance in Getty's direction, his eyes a silent reprimand. Unfazed, Getty feigned ignorance, her
lips puckering into a pout.
"Con now, let's go. You promised to clear your schedule and spend these days with me," she reminded him.
Without uttering a response, Alexander slipped his phone into his pocket and obediently trailed after her. News of
Alexander's excursion with Getty inevitably reached Walter's ears.
Freya, her voice laced with a bitter edge, seethed with indignation. "Can you believe he's off pampering his
mistress at a tlike this? How can he be so audacious?" she fumed.
Walter merely quirked a lip in response. What else could it be? He's just trying to wash his hands of the whole
affair."
Walter, this thing has blown up big time," Freya approached him, thrusting her tablet into his hands. They had
vacated the Kennedys' residence the previous day, and the thad comfortably settled into their new villa.
The change of scenery had done wonders for Freya's spirits, and any residual guilt or remorse she harbored
towards Valerie had evaporated entirely.
Walter skimmed the tablet's contents before handing it back to her. "It's no small matter, and Xavier won't let
this go. Both of his kids are dead," he commented.
The media circus Xavier had orchestrated ensured all eyes were on them, resulting in the Landon Corporation's
stocks taking a nosedive. "How are things with dad?" Freya queried. "It's hard to say. Didn't Valerie try to call him
when she cover?"
Walter responded. Freya's memory was jogged by his words. Yes, Valerie had indeed attempted to reach Wayne
that morning. "Yeah," she confirmed. "That's it then. The staff saw her, and with his hasty share transfer, he's
now the prsuspect. If they can't find the kidnapper, he could..."
Walter trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging ominously in the air. Freya recalled the phone call too-Valerie,
her voice choked with tears and volume, declaring the contract a no-go, a spectacle witnessed by many.

And that call had been to Wayne. Wayne had proceeded with the signing despite Valerie's vehement objections.
The finger of blcould only point in his direction. "So you're saying if they don't find the kidnapper, dad might
actually take the fall?"

Freya sought confirmation. "Looks like it," Walter replied, casting a sidelong glance at her. Freya's gaze drifted
into the distance, her eyes flickering as she lost herself in thought.
Walter's lip curled into a hint of a smirk. "Walter, I'm going to run to the grocery store. Can you watch Harold
while I'm out?" Freya abruptly stood and announced her departure. Walter gave a slight nod of assent. "Sure."
