Chapter 428
Irritation seethed within Quinn, a tempestuous storm brewing beneath her calm exterior.
Getty's incessant tirade was like a needle pricking her patience, and in a sudden fit of rage, Quinn swiveled her head, sinking her teeth into Getty's unsuspecting wrist. The force of her bite was such that Getty's screams reverberated through the villa, startling the two puppies that were busily rummaging through a nearby garbage can.
Intrigued by the commotion, the dogs trotted over, positioning themselves a safe distance away. Their heads tilted in curiosity as they observed the unfolding drama, tails wagging in unison.
"Let go of me, you dummy!" Getty shrieked, raising her free hand in an attempt to slap Quinn.But Quinn was quick to react. She released Getty's bitten wrist only to latch onto the other with equal ferocity.
Getty's screams echoed once more through the villa. Blood smeared both of Getty's hands. She hadn't anticipated the sharpness of Quinn's teeth, which had nearly torn a chunk of flesh from her hand. A deep, gruesome bite mark marred the back of her hand, the broken skin weeping fresh blood.
"Let go of me!" Getty pleaded, struggling to free herself. She tried to yank Quinn's hair, but her injuries hindered her strength.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Suddenly, the blare of a car horn pierced the tense atmosphere. Unfazed, Quinn bit down harder on Getty's wrist, her pent-up anger finding an outlet.
The harder she bit, the more her fury seemed to dissipate. Getty's cries of pain filled the air as she begged for mercy, but Quinn was relentless. The corners of her mouth were smeared with Getty's blood.
"What the hell are you doing?" A voice rang out behind them. It was Alexander.
Getty saw him as her salvation, turning to him desperately.
"Alexander, help me! Quinn's lost her mind!"
Alexander's face was a mask of fury as he took in the sight before him. Quinn still had Getty's wrist clamped between her teeth, fresh blood trickling from her mouth. Her eyes were locked onto his, flickering with an unreadable emotion. "Let go," he commanded.

But Quinn only bit down harder, her teeth sinking deeper into Getty's flesh. Getty drew in a sharp breath, her sobs intensifying.
"Alexander, pull her off! Has she contracted rabies?!"
Alexander's expression hardened. He stepped forward, pinching Quinn's jaw and speaking in a low, stern voice.
"Relax your jaw, do you understand?" Quinn's gaze flickered, hesitation clouding her eyes, but she didn't release Getty.
"Quinn!" Alexander's shout startled her. His grip on her jaw tightened, causing Quinn to wince and furrow her brows in pain.
The sudden jolt of pain caused her teeth to loosen their grip, and Getty seized the opportunity to wrench her hand free. She stared at her blood-soaked wrist, her sobs turning into uncontrollable wails.

"Alexander, look!" She extended her mangled wrist towards him. The bite was severe, the teeth marks barely visible beneath the deep red circle embedded in her flesh.
Alexander's gaze scrutinized the wound before he yanked Quinn up by her collar. "Have you lost your mind?"
Quinn's eyes, rimmed with red, darted between the two of them, a desolate look in her eyes. They had always bullied her because of her inability to speak. Now, even her attempt at self-defense was seen as a mistake.
To Alexander, Getty was the apple of his eye. Even the slightest touch was considered a crime, let alone retaliating. Who was she in comparison? Once the secret adopted daughter of the Kennedys, now his secret ex-wife. She was nothing compared to Getty. Upon seeing her tear-filled eyes, Alexander turned to Getty, his voice laced with confusion.
"What happened? Why are you here?"
A pang of guilt washed over Getty. She hesitated for a moment before hastily pulling out a divorce certificate from her bag and thrusting it towards him. "For this!" she exclaimed.
