Love Unspoken

Chapter 270

Propping herself up in bed, she cast her gaze downward to the watch strapped around her ankle-it remained in

place. Only 14 hours were left. Upon stepping outside, she noticed Kyle, restless and smoking in a crouched

position. With a reach of her hand, Quinn gently tapped his shoulder. Startled, Kyle spun around, hastily

extinguishing his cigarette. "Quinn, you're awake?" he queried.She responded with a simple nod, her words

sparse. She chose to let the silence linger. However, after a moment of contemplation, Kyle couldn't resist

asking, "Quinn, did you willingly accompany Walter, or..." Her lips pressed together in a firm line, Quinn remained

silent. Kyle hadn't anticipated a response and continued, "This shareholders’ meeting is of paramount

importance to Alexander; he's been preparing for it for what seems like an eternity."

Quinn listened, maintaining her quiet demeanor."Have you ever considered what would transpire if Alexander

truly relinquished everything and was left with nothing? How would he protect you then?" Kyle probed, his voice

laced with concern. Caught off guard, Quinn faltered briefly, her gaze dropping to her toes in the absence of a

response."Consider our adversaries, Walter for instance. He could easily overpower Alexander, manipulate him,

and even you," Kyle Astor warned, urgency seeping into his tone."He could even end up incarcerated. What

would you do if you were left alone here?" he questioned, his eyes seeking answers in Quinn's."l may not be

well-acquainted with Alexander, but it's evident tothat he harbors deep affection for you," Kyle continued,

his sincerity tangible.

"He hasn't slept in days; he remains in his study until the break of dawn. He even csearching for you last

night. If he didn't care for you, he wouldn't have bothered.""But you... you've shattered his heart," he lamented.

Lifting her head, Quinn met Kyle Astor's gaze, finding nothing but raw honesty reflected back at her.She seated

herself beside him, her gaze drifting towards the farmhouse's gate, lost in contemplation.

Kyle observed her for a moment before speaking up again, "Quinn, are you truly determined to remain here?"She

turned to regard him, pointing to her ankle.Exhaling a sigh, Kyle muttered, "That Walter is such a despicable

creature!"Quinn's lips pursed in agreement.

She was all too familiar with Walter's lowly nature.Suddenly, Kyle rose to his feet. "I'll retrieve the remote

control!"Quinn halted him with a firm grip, shaking her head, and held up two fingers."You mean he possesses

two?" Kyle asked, taken aback.

Quinn confirmed with a nod."I'll kill him," Kyle declared.Quinn negated his statement with another shake of her

head.Frustrated, Kyle ran his hands through his hair. "

Then what course of action do we take?"If ending Walter's life were the solution, Alexander might have already

executed it that morning.Kyle couldn't comprehend what was holding Alexander back—whether he was

concerned that someone else besides Walter had possession of the remote control, or for reasons yet to be

revealed.

Kyle speculated aloud, "If Alexander attends that shareholders’ meeting, who knows what ploy Walter might

employ tomorrow."Walter was gambling on the assumption that Alexander wouldn't make an appearance at the

meeting. Meanwhile, in a separate room, Walter toyed with a remote control, his eyes glinting with an

inscrutable intent.
