Frankly, anyone without a sharp mind would be completely lost by now.
Kyle nodded. “Yeah, it’s a mess, all right.”
Honestly, even they—seasoned intelligence analysts—were left with scrambled brains after hearing about all these tangled relationships.
Xander stared out the car window.
His long fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest before he finally spoke, confusion lacing his tone. “But Dan looks way older than Stella’s friend.”
Kyle blinked. “Wait, older? Really?”
Dan didn’t look that old to him. But, to be fair, he definitely looked a lot older than Susanna. That much was true.
Xander shrugged. “Of course he’s old. That old fox is cunning as hell.”
You didn’t get to be the secret kingpin behind Black Gate without wrinkles and a few skeletons in your closet.
Kyle just stared at him. Well, if you say he’s old, he’s old.
Xander added, “Honestly, he looks about the same age as Ronald.”
At the mention of Ronald, Kyle clammed up—who would dare gossip about Mr. Quinn?
You could talk trash about anyone, but not Mr. Quinn.
“So why did Yvonne run off with that woman?” Xander asked.
Kyle thought for a moment. “She’s probably training a weapon. You know, grooming someone to go after Dan.”
A weapon? As in, someone to take Dan down?
That actually made sense. Right now, Yvonne hated Dan’s guts.
Black Gate folks…
Thinking back to the partnership between Nolan and old Mr. Quinn, it was clear Dan had seriously crossed a line with Yvonne.
Everyone knew the Quinn family despised nepotism.
And Dan? He’d gotten close to Yvonne with exactly that in mind. No way she’d ever let that slide.
“Well, let her train her weapon,” Xander said with a smirk. “Susanna, siblings turning on each other—sounds about right.”
Kyle replied, “But now Mr. Miguel’s getting desperate, too.”
Xander looked up, surprised. “Seriously?”
Kyle nodded. “He’s been looking after Ms. Tucker. She vanished on his watch—no chance he’ll just let this go.”
