Chapter 1071
The place was a total mess, but Kyle and Alexander were in the worst shape.
They were sitting in the middle of the chaos, both banged up. Kyle picked up a phone from the ground; it was a bit busted, and the light was flickering.
Being in a funeral home was already creepy, and the flickering phone light made it even spookier.
"How about we wait till daylight to look for it? Or I could call someone to help us search," Kyle suggested.
But when he looked at Alexander, he saw him with one arm on his knee, head hanging low in silence. His messy hair cast shadows over his face, making it hard to see his expression.
Kyle was a bit worried. He thought, 'Did something happen to him?'
He cautiously moved closer to Alexander, trying to see if he was still alive.
"Kyle, Quinn might still be alive," Alexander suddenly said, startling Kyle so much that he fell back onto the ground.
Even though he had heard Alexander say this many times before, there was a difference this time. Before, he would only say Quinn was still alive. But this time, he added the word "might."
The former was his obsession and refusal to accept reality, while this time, his words carried a certain conviction.
"Mr. Kennedy, you wouldn't be..." crazy, would you?
He didn't finish the sentence; saying it in a place like this would be too terrifying.
Alexander suddenly lifted his head, and Kyle was shocked to see blood on his forehead, trickling down from his hairline along his temple.
"You're hurt?" Kyle blurted out.

Alexander averted his gaze, looking at the pile of clutter, ignoring Kyle's words. "She must still be alive."
Kyle felt a bit helpless. To get along with Alexander, he asked, "Did you find any clues?"
In a low voice, Alexander replied, "Those thieves were after that necklace. It was a gift from Walter. If there wasn't some secret in it, Walter wouldn't have gone to such lengths to steal it." "Walter? Is he still alive too?" Kyle stammered, clearly surprised.
Alexander braced himself on the ground, slowly rising to his feet. He then started to analyze, "If he had died, the Dixon family wouldn't have just ignored it. Landon hid in Amber Bay for so long without making a move, but as soon as Quinn 'died,' he showed up to take the body."
He continued, "If he didn't already know, he wouldn't have been able to stay calm for so long. All the signs indicate that they're all still alive."

"But after Walter jumped off that cliff, there was no news. It might be difficult to find him," Kyle reminded, looking troubled.
"As long as he's alive, we'll find him one day." Alexander's voice carried a hint of coldness, as if he were talking to himself. "You actually went along with him to deceive me." Kyle was taken aback. He thought, 'That 'you' probably didn't refer to me, right? Could he be talking about Quinn?'
Alexander stepped over the obstacles and headed towards the door.
Kyle thought for a moment and hurriedly followed, asking, "Aren't we looking for the necklace?"
"There's no need to look for it anymore," Alexander said.
Then they walked out of the funeral home and drove away. Behind them, the funeral home stood silently in the wilderness, witnessing their car disappear into the dawn.
