GoodReadUpon spotting him, Quinn instinctively tightened her hold on her phone. Rising from her seat, she was on the
verge of making a swift exit. However, Walter, brimming with confidence, approached her.
Noticing her attempt to flee, he swiftly reached out, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.
Quinn stumbled, landing on the couch. She watched him, her eyes filled with wariness.
Walter, however, made no move to harm her. Instead, he simply took a seat beside her, reaching up to brush a
stray lock of hair from her ear. "Am | that terrifying?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips. Quinn's rigid posture
betrayed her fear. Walter's finger lingered on her head, his gaze fixated on her. After a few seconds of silence, he
continued, "It seems you remember now."Suppressing her fear, Quinn raised her hand, gesturing as she asked,
"What are you here for?""Me?"
Walter responded, his smile softening. He began to stroke her head gently, as if she were a beloved pet. "I'm
here to clear up your doubts. You must have a lot of questions."
Quinn pursed her lips, choosing to remain silent. She was indeed filled with doubts, but she had no desire to hear
the answers from Walter. He had a habit of deceiving her.
Without further ado, Walter produced a phone and tossed it onto her lap. Quinn stared at the phone screen, her
gaze flickering. A paused video was displayed on the screen. Even in its paused state, she could make out her
and Chandler's figures.
Quinn's hands moved of their own accord, picking up the phone and pressing play on the video. The video had
been edited and was playing at a fast-forward pace. The scene of Chandler pouring her a drink flashed by in

Quinn stared at the phone screen and the comments displayed above. There was no denying that this was a
recording of a livestream. As she continued to watch, Quinn's face grew increasingly pale. She abruptly hit the
pause button and tossed the phone back to Walter.
Walter turned his head to look at her. "Now, do you understand what happened?"Quinn pursed her lips, her lower
lip trembling slightly.
She had been watched by thousands of people. The thought of the comments on the video filled her with
despair, and she closed her eyes. "What? Can't accept it?" Walter asked. "If | hadn't shown up, perhaps the video
would have been far more... entertaining."Quinn's eyes snapped open, and she shot him a pleading look,
begging him to say no more.
Walter leaned his elbow on the back of the sofa, leaning in closer to Quinn. "Do you know why | was
there?"Before Quinn could respond, he continued, "Because Alexander's men didn't show up.""He never
intended to cin the first place.""Or rather, from the very beginning, when he asked you to meet Chandler, it
was all part of his plan. You must be wondering what his plan was."

Walter chuckled, "Evidently, his plan was to let Landon know that he and | are working together.""So, the
question remains. Why did | cto your rescue?"At his words, Quinn's face turned ashen, her complexion
resembling that of a corpse. She stared at Walter's smiling face, shaking her head in denial. She didn't want to
believe his words! Not only because he had deceived her, but also because as long as she didn't believe him, the
video could be dismissed as a fake. It was a video that Walter had fabricated to deceive her. Walter reached out,
grabbing her chin and halting her movements. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me.
