Love Unspoken

"It was a misunderstanding, Mr. Kennedy. I don't have much to offer, so let me toast to you," Ethan said, pouring a glass of wine and handing it to Alexander.

"I was rude to Mrs. Kennedy earlier. My bad. I'll buy you a drink as an apology. We'll be friends later."

Though he said "friends," Ethan just wanted Alexander to keep quiet about what happened.

Otherwise, things would get ugly.

Alexander picked up the wine, smiled, and drank it all, signaling he agreed.

Ethan sighed, "I like dealing with smart folks like you. If what you say is true, we've been played."

If he and Alexander had clashed tonight, the schemer would have won. Luckily, Alexander trusted him and chose to talk.

Alexander put down his glass, stood up, and said, "Ethan, you're smart too. Since everything is fine now, I won't keep you. Goodbye."

With that, he turned and walked out.

Ethan watched him leave, sighing with a complex look.

"Ethan, he won't spill, right?" a subordinate asked nervously.

Ethan glanced at him. "He'd be nuts to do that. Relax, it wouldn't help him either."

Luckily, Ethan realized Alexander was after Landon and came clean. Now that everything was out, Alexander had no reason to reveal anything.

As Alexander left the club, Sean followed. "Mr. Kennedy, you okay?"

Alexander got into the car, deep in thought.

After a while, he told Sean, "Investigate Apex Holdings Group."

Sean was surprised but nodded. "Got it."

Meanwhile, Quinn returned to Regal Riverside and ran into Kyle at the door.

Seeing her, Kyle quickly asked, "Mrs. Kennedy, didn't Mr. Kennedy come back with you?"

Quinn shook her head. "He had something to discuss with Ethan. Who is Ethan, Kyle?"

Kyle replied, "Ethan? He's not from Amber Bay but has some investment companies here and visits sometimes."

"Is he powerful?" Quinn asked, curious.

Kyle thought for a moment. "Depends. In Amber Bay, not much, but in Sydney City, he's on par with Mr. Kennedy. His family deals in mining and has a strong background." Quinn nodded. "Got it."

Ethan might not have much pull in Amber Bay, but if things went south, it wouldn't be good. Seeing Kyle so tense, Quinn reassured him, "Don't worry. Alexander knows what he's doing." Kyle replied, "I understand. You should rest. I won't disturb you."

Quinn nodded and walked into the villa.

She was puzzled about how Maya got involved with Ethan.

Quinn couldn't figure it out. Alexander didn't come back that night.

She glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. 'Is he still at the club?' she wondered.

She picked up her phone, wanting to call him, but hesitated and put it down.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

However, this started because of her. If she ignored it completely, she'd feel guilty.

After much thought, she finally called Alexander.
