Chapter 651
Walter shifted his gaze to Alexander's face, the smirk at the corner of his mouth growing more mocking, "What do you mean? Don't you know exactly what I'm talking about?" Alexander narrowed his eyes, and his aura suddenly diminished.
Quinn, standing beside, also noticed the drop in temperature.
Walter saw Alexander remain silent with a slight smile. "Don't play dumb."
Walter said, "Can you just ignore it and pretend it never happened, as long as you don't look into it?"
After saying that, Walter left the two and walked towards the cemetery. "You're quite skilled at evading things, Alexander."
Quinn didn't understand. She watched Walter walk away, then looked at Alexander, puzzled.
Quinn gestured, "Is he talking about me?"
"He's not talking about you." Alexander put away his emotions and took out a tissue to wipe the saliva from Quinn's mouth. "Don't overthink."
Quinn nodded, just spat out. Her mouth was bitter.
Alexander wiped Quinn's mouth and handed her a bottle of water.
Quinn took a few sips, and Alexander led her inside.
The cemetery appeared old, with only a few tombstones scattered among the overgrown weeds. It took some time to spot the tombstones along the cement path. Before approaching, Walter could be seen standing in front of one of the tombstones.
The sky was devoid of the sun. Walter stood beneath the brooding clouds, his Tang suit taking on an extra depth of solemnity, starkly contrasted by the surrounding wild grass. The atmosphere was creepy. Quinn instinctively squeezed Alexander's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, which comforted her.
As long as Alexander was there, Quinn felt at ease.
When they reached Walter, Quinn followed his gaze to the tombstone.

The tombstone bore the photograph of a woman. She sported a head of curled hair, was clad in a skirt, and her lips were gently curved in a warm, tender smile.
Quinn stared at the photo for a while but couldn't recognize the woman in it. She then glanced at the tombstone next to it. Surprisingly, it was a man, also wearing a suit and sporting a gentle smile.
He had a refined and scholarly air about him, an aura of erudition. At a glance, he was clearly a man of culture and refinement.
Quinn seemed to sense something and turned to look at Walter.
Walter was also looking at Quinn.
The two locked gazes for a moment in silence. Quinn couldn't quite interpret the emotions in his eyes, a blend that appeared to convey contempt, resentment, and disappointment. "What, can't you recognize them?" Walter questioned.
Quinn shook her head. She looked at the photos again, but she had no impression. She couldn't recall and was unfamiliar with any of these people.

Quinn hugged Alexander's arm, answering Walter's words with actions.
Walter's gaze made Quinn somewhat afraid, his eyes filled with malice and ill intentions.
Just as Walter was about to approach, Alexander raised his hand to stop him.
Walter looked sharply at Alexander, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Alexander said, " Since it's a memorial for a loved one, let's not bring up those messy things. Besides, she can't remember them anyway, so why bother?"
Walter stared at Alexander, "You have it easy talking like that. She can't remember anything now, no matter how much you've hurt her. She's forgotten everything. She would love to be with you all the time. You must be thrilled to stand here lecturing me.!"
By the end, Walter's emotions became agitated, "What right do you have to meddle in between me and her?" Alexander quietly watched Walter lose control, revealing an ugly side that was rarely seen in him.
Walter's tone was a bit extreme, especially when he targeted Alexander. Quinn stepped forward and pushed him.
