Love Unspoken

Quinn choked on the medicine, quickly set down the bowl, and started coughing hard.

The dark liquid sprayed from her mouth and nose, dripping through her fingers onto the floor.

As she coughed, a hand gently patted her back.

After a couple of minutes, someone handed her a handkerchief. Quinn took it and wiped her mouth and hands.

She was coughing so hard that tears streamed down her face. The bitter taste in her mouth and nose made her feel nauseous with every breath.

Seeing this, Olivia quickly poured her a glass of warm water.

Quinn drank it and finally felt a bit better.

She turned and glared at Alexander. "Did you spy on my phone again?"

Alexander looked amused and poked her forehead. "Do I need to?"

Quinn covered her forehead, frustrated. "Then how did you know?"

"Your emotions are obvious," Alexander replied. "You should learn to control them so you don't accuse me of spying next time."

Quinn was taken aback, even more confused.

'Is it really that obvious?' she thought. 'Or can he just see right through me?'

Quinn avoided his hand, not wanting to continue the conversation. She turned around, picked up her utensils, and started eating in silence.

Alexander didn't push the topic either, and they both ate quietly.

After the meal, Quinn couldn't help but glance at him, puzzled. 'Since he knows, why isn't he angry?' she wondered. 'Is he okay with me asking Walter for help?'

Quinn suppressed her doubts, watched him drink the medicine, and then went back to the bedroom.

She took out her phone and saw a message from Walter sent ten minutes ago, asking her to call him back.

Quinn glanced at the bedroom door, found Walter's number, and called him.

The call connected quickly, and Walter's voice came through, "I thought you went to Alexander for money."

Quinn replied, "No, did you look at those documents?"

Walter said, "I skimmed them. Many projects are basically angel investments. Whether rushed or intentional on Xavier's part, there's no clear agreement on returns or repayment times." "Angel investments?" Quinn asked, puzzled.

"Yeah," Walter confirmed, "It is about investing in high-risk startups. These investments total about a billion dollars, with at least half yielding no returns, and the rest unlikely to see returns within three years. The best solution is to file for bankruptcy in three months. Alexander won't ignore you, and it would be easier for him to acquire the company."

Quinn was silent for a moment. "How is that different from asking him for money?"

Walter laughed. "Big difference. If you ask for money, you're passive. If he helps you voluntarily, he's passive. Plus, it's a one-time solution, and you won't have to worry about him using the company to control you later."

"Is this the only way?" Quinn asked.

"It's the simplest and most convenient," Walter said. "There are other methods, but they're more complicated."

"Tell me more about it." Quinn asked.

Walter thought for a moment. "For instance, the film company Xavier invested in is a competitor of the William family. You could sell the shares to Mr. William. Xavier invested a billion dollars and holds ten percent of the shares." Quinn asked, "If I sell the shares, do I need a shareholders' meeting?"

Walter replied, "Yes, but don't worry. This company has been suppressed by the William family and isn't very profitable. No shareholder would buy it. However, if Mr. William wants to buy, he has ways to make it happen." Quinn was still confused. "But Mr. William could buy shares from other shareholders. Why mine?"This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Walter explained, "You're right, but the company isn't bankrupt yet and still pays dividends. No shareholder with more than ten percent would sell, and Mr. William wouldn't be interested in buying less. Your ten percent is enough to tempt him."

He added, "Mr. William has spent more than a billion dollars just to suppress this company."

Quinn finally understood but was still worried. "Wouldn't this offend that company? Is it illegal?"
