In a swift motion, he reversed his grip on the gun and smashed the butt into Walter's jaw. Walter crumpled to the
ground, a muffled grunt escaping his lips as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, Alexander turned and strode
toward Quinn. His eyes locked onto hers, his voice stern, "I'm asking you one last time, are you coming with me
or not?"
Quinn fidgeted with her fingers, her gaze shifting to the pathetic figure of Walter. But before she could get a clear
look, Alexander forced her chin towards him."Look at me!"His icy stare startled her, causing her to instinctively
step back.And with that step, her choice seemed to have been made. "Alexander," Walter's voice suddenly rang
out.Alexander turned to look at him.
Walter raised his hand, a miniature remote nestled within his grip. "Givetwenty-three hours here, then you
can take her with you," he proposed.
Alexander's eyes hardened, instantly dismissing the offer. "In your dreams," he retorted coldly.Unfazed by his
own injuries, Walter merely shrugged. "What's the rush? Have a shareholders' meeting to attend?" He cast a
meaningful glance at Quinn.
"If you're so concerned about the shareholders' meeting, then go. You're not just after the profits, are you?
People matter too, right?"
Quinn responded, her gaze shifting to Alexander. "In this world, when can you have the best of both
worlds?"Deep down, she understood that her position in his life was secondary to his career. Yet, human nature is
susceptible to irrational hopes and dreams. If he showed the slightest hesitation, even for a moment, choosing
her, she felt it would be worth any sacrifice.
Even if she were to be obliterated by the ticking bomb at her feet, she would do it to fulfill his desires. Their eyes
locked as a chilling breeze rustled Quinn's loose hair.
They stood surrounded by lush greenery, the hills behind them like a picturesque painting, enveloped in
silence.Quinn's stance was clear: for now, she was on Walter's side.
All she desired was an answer from Alexander. If he agreed to the disappearance of those twenty-three shares,
she would willingly accompany him.
However, Alexander had let the reins slip too far this time. He would have to relinquish many things and chase a

she averted her eyes, her silence speaking louder than words.
A smile tugged at the corners of Alexander's mouth. "That's good. Just two days, and you're already so
obedient."Quinn was taken aback.
Staring at Alexander, she felt the sting of irony. Her expression morphed into one of sorrow, her eyes a mixture
of desolation and disappointment.
Suppressing her frustration, she walked over and helped Walter to his feet. From the sidelines, Alexander
watched with an icy detachment.

Despite his disheveled appearance, covered in mud and blood, Walter's expression remained as arrogantly
confident as ever. Once again, he had emerged victorious."Since you're so fond of him, | might as well send you
both to hell," Alexander declared, raising his hand.
