NovelEnglishChapter 852 Based on what he knew about Alexander, if the guy realized he was about to lose, he wouldn't just play along. He'd either make a run for it or cause schaos to get out of the mess. Alexander flicked his cigarette into the ashtray, stood up, and said, "Thanks for bailingout today, Landon. To repay you, I'll find out who really killed Stanley and clear your name." Without waiting for a response, he turned and left the conference room.

He had spent too much tat the office, and it was already evening when he got back.
The sunset was beautiful, with fiery clouds painting the sky. The eerie light seeped into the dim bedroom, giving it a strange sense of desolation. Quinn was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
He walked to the bedside, sat down, and gently brushed the stray hair from her face.

Olivia knocked and entered. "Mr. Kennedy, what would you like for dinner? I'll go buy the groceries."
"Anything will do," Alexander replied without looking up. The content is on novelenglish.net! "Okay." He then asked, "Has she been sleeping since I left?"
Olivia paused. "Yes, she has been sleeping the whole time. She didn't even have lunch. Soren just finished giving her a nutrient infusion this afternoon." Alexander raised his hand, signaling her to leave. Olivia gently closed the door and left.
Inside the room, his gaze remained fixed on Quinn. He held herhand, moved his lips, but made no sound. X
