Chapter 817
Alexander glanced at her for a couple of minutes before snatching her phone and hitting pause.
"You're not well enough to play," he said.
She looked at him, confused. "But I'm feeling better."
"Are you a doctor?" he shot back.
She shook her head but crawled over to Alexander and hugged his neck. "I'm so bored. Play with me." "You can't play," he said firmly.
"You're so annoying!" Quinn glared at him, then let go and muttered, "I'll find someone else to play with." Alexander's expression darkened, and he suddenly pulled her close, gripping her jaw. "What did you say?"
He squeezed a bit too hard, making her wince.
She stared at him with wide eyes. "It hurts."
Alexander said coldly, "You're not allowed to play games with anyone else."
She slapped his arm, a bit angry. "Let go of me, it hurts!"
Alexander stared at her intensely. After a moment, he closed his eyes, exhaled, and released her.
He then gathered all her things from the bed and walked out.
Quinn glared at his back angrily. 'He's no good at all!' she thought.
'I'll have my dad fire him when I get home!' she decided.
Because he took her things and was mean to her, Quinn was now reluctant to talk to him.
During dinner, she was still sulking, making noises to express her anger.
Alexander glanced at her but ignored her, letting her stew in her own anger.
After dinner, Olivia helped her take a bath.
She returned to the bedroom in her pajamas and saw him on the couch looking at his phone. She deliberately made heavy footsteps to get his attention.
When he looked up, she snorted at him and then climbed into bed, pulling the covers over herself.

Alexander looked at the lump under the covers, paused, and then went back to his phone.
The people in Sylvadora had found the man.
Someone called, and Alexander got up to answer by the window.
"Mr. Kennedy, the man's name is Daniel Mellon. He used to be Henry's assistant. Should we bring him back?"
"Bring him back. Keep a close watch on him. If any harm befalls him en route, be prepared to face the consequences," Alexander stated icily. "Yes, sir."
Then Alexander hung up and glanced at the bed. Quinn was peeking at him.
He turned around suddenly, catching her gaze.
She quickly hid under the covers when she was caught.
She heard footsteps coming her way and blinked under the covers, thinking about what he could say to make her forgive him.
But the next second, the footsteps retreated.
She peeked out again, only to see him leaving the bedroom and closing the door.
Quinn got angry again, thinking, 'This bodyguard is too annoying. I have to get my dad to fire him!'
'The previous bodyguards never dared to defy me. But he always makes me angry and never comforts me.'
Quinn was so upset she couldn't sleep all night.
And Alexander didn't come in all night.
In the morning, when Quinn got up for breakfast, he was already gone.
She held her fork, stirring the food on her plate. The anger from last night had accumulated and was about to explode.
Olivia saw her angry face and explained, "Ms. Mellon, Mr. Kennedy has been busy these past two days, so he left early."
"I don't want to see him anyway," Quinn replied angrily.
Olivia could tell she was being contrary and chuckled awkwardly. "Ms. Mellon, hurry and eat. There will be ice cream afterward." Hearing about ice cream, Quinn's anger subsided a bit.
