Love Unspoken

Were the hazy images merely figments of a dream? Quinn's eyes fluttered shut as she tossed her phone onto the plush couch. Drawing her legs up to her chest, she wrapped her arms around herself in a tight embrace.

The statement released by Kennedy Enterprise had proven to be far more impactful than the one issued by Getty and Mr. Cox's company. Despite the skepticism that lingered among the majority, some were swayed into believing that Alexander's devotion was genuine, while others concluded that his actions were merely a strategic move to quell the brewing storm.

Regardless of the varying opinions, it was undeniable that the news about Getty had thrust Alexander's identity as a "victim" back into the limelight. This unexpected turn of events had caused Kennedy Enterprise's stock to surge, once again. Getty was deeply moved, touched by Alexander's apparent concern for her. She had been plagued by worry, fearing that Alexander would distance himself from her. His defense of her, however, had come as a pleasant surprise. "Who are you looking for?" Ms. Miller's voice echoed from the doorway. Quinn's gaze lifted to find Kaitlyn standing there.She sprang up from the couch, making her way towards the door.

Kaitlyn's expression soured at the sight of her.

Quinn, accustomed to this reaction, merely gestured and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"

Kaitlyn, comprehending only the word "mom", brushed past her into the room, retorting, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not your mom."

Quinn bit her lip, trailing behind her.Ms. Miller dutifully poured a glass of water, extending it towards Quinn. As Quinn settled down, she accepted the glass. Kaitlyn, however, knocked it from her grasp, drenching Quinn's clothes. "Quinn, I genuinely didn't notice. How shameless can you be, returning after leaving Alexander? Is it because he didn't provide enough in the divorce settlement?" Kaitlyn taunted.

Quinn's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Kaitlyn. Divorce...?

Kaitlyn shot her a glance, continuing, "Stop playing the victim. Reflect on it. Have the Kennedys ever mistreated you? Why are you so fixated on Alexander when there are countless other men?"

Quinn stood frozen, her mind a whirlwind of confusion.

Kaitlyn rose to her feet, her gaze icy as she addressed Quinn, "Alexander pities you, that's why he tolerates you. But I'm not as compassionate as him. You'd better understand your place and leave. Don't test my patience, or you'll regret it." Quinn shook her head, attempting to gesture, but Kaitlyn turned away, refusing to acknowledge her. "No need for gestures. Don't you feel ashamed, always resorting to them?"

Quinn halted her movements, her lips parting slightly before she bowed her head in silence. She was accustomed to this; Kaitlyn had always despised her.

Kaitlyn continued, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Pack your things and leave. Alexander is getting married soon, and I don't want him to see you when he does. If it comes to that, I won't be as gentle with you."

Quinn's mind was in turmoil as she looked up at Kaitlyn, who stood there, radiating arrogance. Had she and Alexander truly divorced?

Kaitlyn's anger flared when she saw that Quinn hadn't moved.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things and leave, now!"With that, she gave Quinn a forceful shove. Quinn staggered back, struggling to regain her balance.

Ms. Miller and Ms. Moore watched from the sidelines, unsure of whether to intervene.

Suddenly, a chilling voice echoed from the entrance, "Who dares to let her leave?"
