GoodReadAlexander's sudden move startled everyone in the conference room. Even Walter was taken aback by him.
All eyes shifted to Alexander, noting the rare display of emotion on his typically impassive face, now shadowed and exuding a menacing aura. Walter quirked an eyebrow, speaking with a smirk. "Mr. Kennedy, do you have a problem with what I said?" Alexander, his fingers tapping loudly on his phone, silently grabbed his coat and exited the conference room after a brief pause.

"Mr. Smith, should we continue the meeting?" someone asked.
Walter replied, "Yes, why not? Everyone is here. Let's carry on." Alexander aimed to undermine Landon's authority during his moment of vulnerability, hence the meeting. How did Alexander pursuing his wife relate to Walter? As they arrived at the parking lot, Alexander opened the car door and entered. Kyle seemed to anticipate Alexander's destination, as he started the car towards the resort without engaging in small talk. Meanwhile, Quinn was still at the service area and received popcorn and fried chicken bought by Orion. She was enjoying the food, unaware of Alexander's intense anger.
"Is it tasty?" Orion asked with a smile, watching her.
Quinn nodded while munching on the popcorn, eating neatly without wasting any.
Orion held the fried chicken, waiting for Quinn to finish the popcorn before handing it to her. He reminded her, "Don't eat the bones. Be careful." Quinn nodded, smelling the delicious fried chicken. She eagerly took it and started eating, leaving a greasy mark around her mouth.

After a while, he asked Quinn, "Do you have your phone?" Quinn was preoccupied with eating fried chicken and didn't have a free hand to respond. She gestured with her body towards the pocket of her pajamas where her phone was. Orion retrieved her phone, telling her to eat properly in the car while he stepped out to make a call.
Taking Quinn's phone, he called Ryan after getting out of the car, asking for his support.
Ryan asked, "Did you really burn through fifty thousand dollars in just a single day?" Rubbing his head, Orion sheepishly responded, "No, I'm heading to Whispering Pines Resort. Can you transfer smoney toASAP?" Ryan inquired, "Are you going to Whispering Pines Resort with Quinn? Does Alexander know about this?" Orion responded, "Stop with the questions. Transfer the money tonow. I'm on the highway and will arrive shortly." X
