Love Unspoken

Chapter 1435

Zeke snapped the notebook shut and asked again, "Is Luke with you?"

Alexander smirked, staying silent.

Zeke was torn. He pulled out a USB drive, stood up, and said, "I need to think. Go rest."

With that, he left the room, almost like he was scared of what Alexander might demand next.

Zeke had nailed the fatherly image; even Aron and the others bought it.

But how much love could he really have for a son he barely knew?

There were too many players and interests involved. Would Zeke really go against Aron just out of anger?

Even Zeke probably didn't know, and his earlier silence said it all.

If Alexander were dead, Zeke would have enough ammo to go after Aron.

But Alexander was alive. He could help Zeke fight those people and keep Zeke's power intact.

The USB drive was a ticking time bomb; it had proof of Alexander kidnapping Luke, which could backfire. Unless Luke was safely back, they couldn't use it.

But would Zeke act then?

No, he wouldn't. Neither would Aron. They'd weigh the pros and cons and downplay the whole thing. Alexander fiddled with the computer and opened a document. It was a file.

Name: Calvin Lynch.

Code Name: Obsidian Circle.

The photo showed a masked face, hiding his identity.

He was a lead, but he was also Quinn's brother.

Alexander closed the document and deleted it.
