Love Unspoken

Daniel said, "He's not in the Mellon family tree, so it's no wonder you can't find him."

"He was really adorable as a kid. Mr. Mellon found him outside. He couldn't bear to let Quinn marry out, so he decided to bring in a child from outside the family to raise and eventually marry Quinn." That was how the adorable Lucas was chosen by Henry and brought back, to become Quinn's playmate and future husband.

Even though he was an outsider, the Mellon treated him like their own, investing a lot in him. After hearing this, Alexander's face was unreadable, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.

"If it weren't for that, he might not have escaped the assassination so easily," Daniel added. Alexander asked, "So, you don't know who wiped out the Mellon family either?"

Daniel shook his head. "I don't. I was shot and passed out. I didn't even think I'd survive."

"How did Lucas escape the assassination?" Alexander pressed.

"He was at a friend's house that day, getting a birthday gift for the old master. He came back late and missed the attack. His identity was never revealed, so the culprits didn't count him among the dead," Daniel explained. Alexander looked down, thoughtfully staring at the photo.

Daniel added, "Mr. Kennedy, the Kennedys and the Mellons have been friends for generations. Please, help us find the culprits!"

"What about the Ethereal family?" Alexander asked.

Daniel thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. When I woke up, the Ethereal family had already moved away, and no one knows where they went."

"I once suspected them," Daniel added.

"And now?" Alexander questioned.

Daniel sighed. "I don't even know where they are. What's the point of suspecting?"

Alexander tapped his fingers on the sofa, staring at Daniel. "You want me to find the Ethereal family?"

"If possible," Daniel said with a bitter smile. "In my current state, I can't do anything but guard that abandoned villa."

Alexander said nothing more, neither agreeing nor refusing Daniel's request.

He tossed his cigarette into the ashtray, poured water over it, and extinguished the butt.

Alexander stood up and told Sean, "Get him a room."

"Yes, sir."

Alexander then turned and walked out.

Daniel watched him leave, then picked up the photo on the table.

Sean said, "You can stay here for now. I could use some help."

Daniel didn't refuse. He had nowhere else to go, and this place was perfect-isolated and quiet.

After the interrogation, Alexander drove back to Regal Riverside.

Before he even got inside, he saw Walter leaning against the front door.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! He stopped the car, got out, and walked over.

Walter, arms crossed, leaned against the door, blocking the way.

Seeing Alexander, he smirked. "Mr. Kennedy, you're a hard man to catch. I had to wait at your house."

Alexander, hands in his pockets, walked up to Walter and looked at him calmly. "Seems like you're too idle at the company, Mr. Smith. I'll find more work for you tomorrow." Walter didn't mince words. "Where did you take Daniel?"

"You're well-informed, Mr. Smith. But don't worry. He's my guest, and I treat my guests well," Alexander replied.

Walter frowned, then said, "He knows nothing. Capturing him is pointless."

Alexander chuckled, brushing the imaginary dust off Walter's shoulder like a boss showing concern for an employee.

"He knows plenty. And even if he didn't, his value is far greater than yours," Alexander scoffed.

Walter caught his meaning and laughed angrily. "You think capturing him will give you control over me?"
