Chapter 1292 The Kennedy Group used to run the show all over the country, no questions asked.
But then, outta nowhere, the Mellon Group popped up about three years ago. They kept things on the down-low, so only a few folks knew how strong they really were.
Alexander was the backbone of the Mellon Group these past three years. Sure, Kyle was the face of the company, handling the day-to-day, but Alexander was the one calling the shots.
Now, to keep things from blowing up internally, it was best if not too many people know Alexander had gone MIA. If word got out that Quinn was running the show, it could stir up a whole lotta . After hearing Kyle's rundown, Quinn got how serious things were.
She never really saw the Mellon Group as hers. Three years ago, she thought Alexander handed it to her just to mess with her.
But, surprise, surprise, he'd been building up the Mellon Group quietly, without even holding any shares.

Quinn pressed her lips together, deep in thought. "Got it." She'd protect the Mellon Group just like Alexander did and wait for him to cback.
Seeing the fire in her eyes, Kyle let out a secret sigh of relief. Like Abigail, he was worried Quinn might do something crazy out of grief.
No matter whose nwas on the Mellon Group, it was Alexander's blood, sweat, and tears. If both of them went down, Kyle knew he couldn't handle it.
It wasn't about skill, but about who he was. Quinn was Alexander's wife, while he was just an assistant, a nobody in the grand schof things.
Over the years, he'd gotten used to following Alexander's lead and felt shaky about making calls on his own.
He didn't have the guts to take over the Mellon Group. He'd think about the worst-case scenario, and if he couldn't handle it, he wouldn't have started in the first place. Besides, things were pretty chill as they were now. "Alright, I'm outta here. Get srest. I'll send over the docs later. Letknow when you're ready to take over the Mellon Group," Kyle said, all respectful. Quinn nodded.
After Kyle left, she stared at the asset confirmation agreement on the table for what felt like forever. Olivia stood behind her, looking at Quinn's lonely figure on the couch, feeling a weird sense of déjà vu.
When Quinn had just left, Alexander used to sit there all night.
That night, Quinn couldn't catch a wink.
Every tshe closed her eyes, her mind went haywire. She ended up turning on the TV and saw her fave cartoon had a new episode.
When Abigail showed up, she saw Quinn glued to the TV and asked, all surprised. "Quinn, did you stay up all night?" Quinn turned to look at her, the dark circles under her eyes saying it all.
Abigail frowned and plopped down next to her. "What are you doing? Binging cartoons all night?" "I couldn't sleep," Quinn said.
"Even if you can't sleep, you gotta rest. Your body's gonna give out," Abigail said, worried.

Quinn seemed to ignore her and muttered, "Abigail, cwith one? somewhere." "Where to?" Abigail asked.
"The hospital," Quinn replied.
Abigail's eyes flickered, but she still went with her to the hospital.
Pointing to the baby in the crib, Kyle said, "This is the one."
It was a private room with just one baby. There was a ntag on the crib So even without Kyle's words, she could tell.
The baby had been moved from the incubator to a regular room, with three or four nannies, taking turns Kfour looking after her, waiting for surgery. Quinn's eyes landed on the ntag-Quinlan Mellon. The nmade her smirk.
"Sounds awful," she muttered.
