Chapter 1392 She had this whole routine down pat. Back when she was hitched to Alexander, this was her daily grind, and now she was back at it.
When she got back, Susan was already home.
"Wondered where you disappeared to. Grocery run, huh?" Susan said to Quinn. She'd noticed the washing machine going earlier, so she knew Quinn was back.
Quinn walked in with the groceries and scoped out the place. Anna wasn't in the living room. "You guys eaten yet?" "Yeah, we already ate. Just do your thing. You get everything done?" Susan asked.
"Almost. Just gotta stash these groceries first," Quinn replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Cool." Quinn took the groceries to the kitchen and shoved them in the fridge. When she cback out, Susan was on the phone.
Sounded like s at work. Quinn didn't bother eavesdropping and headed straight upstairs.
Sprout was still snoozing. She pulled out the book she brought and plopped down by the window to read. The foreign languages she picked up were for everyday chit-chat, but sometimes she hit a word she didn't get. So, she had to keep at it. That evening, she swung by Alexander's place again, but no luck this time. The nanny didn't cout to dump the trash.
And Alexander wasn't heither.
Looked like he didn't crash there much. Quinn staked out for days and never caught him coming back.
A week later, she got a call from Kyle.
Quinn rolled up to the community entrance and spotted a white car. She bent down to peek inside but hadn't seen anyone when Kyle popped out of the car.
"Mrs. Kennedy, hop in," he said.
Quinn blinked and looked up at him. "This your ride?" "Nah, borrowed it from Cody. It's his old beater he doesn't use anymore, so he letdrive it. You want it? It's yours," Kyle offered.
"Nah, I'm good. Don't really need a car right now," Quinn said, opening the door and sliding in.
Kyle grabbed a file from the back and handed it to her. "Did sdigging on Vitex Group. It's a phone company. Was doing alright a few years back, but their phones had sissues that never got fixed, so they got overshadowed by other brands. Their stock's been tanking the past couple of years. Especially last month, when another brand dropped a killer phone, boosting their rep big time. Plus, with the head of the Lynch family kicking the bucket, Vitex Group's stock nosedived, and there are whispers of bankruptcy." Quinn flipped through the docs. The legal rep for Vitex Group was Hugo Lynch. The info matched what Kyle had said.
"If they're going under, why would he want Sean to buy their stock?" Quinn asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKyle shrugged. "No clue. Maybe he's planning a takeover?"
"A company like this wouldn't be much use even if he did take it over, unless he's got a way to turn it nless.
around," Quinn mused.
"Yeah, and even if he takes it over, he's still part of the Lynch family. It wouldn't do him any personal favors..." Kyle trailed off, suddenly looking at Quinn like he had an epiphany.
Quinn seemed to have pieced it together too.
He planned to snag it not under his own nbut through another company. If this company tanked m under Hugo's watch bugat revived watch e after being acquired by someone else, you could imagine the heat Hugo would face within the family. The best play would be to stir up sfamily within the Lynch clan, creating chaos so Alexander could swoop in. So this nearly bankrupt company was his golden ticket.
