Chapter 693
Orion's heart skipped a beat as he looked toward the door.
As expected, it was Alexander who had come over.
Sean kicked the chair out of the way and positioned himself behind Alexander.
Quinn, with her mouth still full of chips, spotted Alexander standing at the door.
Remembering Orion's advice, she discreetly moved behind him, peeking out from behind his back.
Alexander observed Quinn's actions, his expression becoming serious.
He entered the room, his gaze sweeping over every corner until it settled on the snacks piled on the table.
Alexander nonchalantly picked up a bag of chips, inspected it, and then tossed it back. "You're only giving her these unhealthy snacks," he remarked.
Orion bristled at the comment. "What do you mean? I bought them because she enjoys them!"
Alexander gazed at Quinn with a neutral expression. Quinn remained hidden behind Orion, stealing glances at Alexander.
When their eyes met, she quickly retreated out of view. Orion kept a watchful eye on him.
Despite Alexander's impassive demeanor, Orion sensed a simmering anger just beneath the surface.
Orion asked, "What are you doing here? You agreed to five days, and now, before even a day has passed, do you want to break your word?"
Alexander shrugged off his coat and sat down diagonally across from Orion. "Five days were under the condition of no incidents. Obviously, the agreement of five days is no longer valid."
Orion had expected this response and replied irritably. "What do you mean? The situation when she was with you wasn't much different from now. You were sure she wouldn't stay with me because she had forgotten. So you confidently sent her over here. And now that she has forgotten you, you're calling it a problem. How shameless can you be?"
Alexander remained expressionless, looking at him indifferently. "Since you've said all this, I don't need to be polite anymore."
Orion furrowed his brow. "What are you going to do?"
Alexander jerked his chin toward Sean. "Take her away."
Sean nodded, ready to intervene, but Orion raised his hand to halt him. "Alexander Kennedy! Can't you keep your promises? Is this how you conduct business? Besides, you've already divorced her. It was your decision to let her go. You have Getty Morgan; it's widely known that she's your girlfriend. Yet you continue to hold on to Quinn. Don't be so greedy!"
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!
Alexander seemed to ignore his words, just looking at Sean.
Under the pressure of Alexander's gaze, Sean bypassed Orion and grabbed Quinn's arm.
Orion fell back onto the sofa and turned to see Quinn being taken away.
Orion anxiously said, "Alexander Kennedy, must you let down two women at the same time?"
Alexander suddenly fixed him with a colder gaze. "Mr. William, don't assume that you comprehend everything just because you've uncovered some surface information."
Orion asked, "What? If you weren't fickle, could you have divorced? Could it have turned out like this?"
Alexander retorted, "I acknowledge there may be some validity to your words, but Orion William, focus on your own affairs. I've been engaging in this tedious charade out of respect for your father. However, I now declare the game concluded. What can you possibly do to me?"
Orion laughed bitterly.
The initiative of this bet had always in Alexander's hands. It was naive of him to fantasize that Alexander would keep his word.
Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!
Thinking about it, Orion almost wanted to slap himself.
Orion shouted, "She doesn't want to go with you now. You're hurting her by forcing her to go! Alexander Kennedy, if you really care about her, stop hurting her over and over again!" Alexander glanced at Quinn.
She was struggling in Sean's grip, trying to run back to Orion, almost in tears.
Alexander chuckled.
Alexander responded, "You're proposing that you keep her for five days, ensuring she can't leave you. Then we proceed with our agreement. I can keep my promise and let her stay with you, is that the plan?" Orion asked, "Isn't that exactly what you initially promised?"
Alexander stood up abruptly. His face turned into an expressionless mask as he looked at Orion with chilling indifference.
Alexander said, "I regret to inform you that I've decided to renege on my promise."
