Chapter 1331 Quinn hung up on him, just like that.
Walter knew Quinn wouldn't actually do that, which is why he played that card. If Freya really bit the dust, he'd be stuck with Peanut forever.
So, he handed Quinn the old plan.
Quinn hit up Kyle to get the lowdown on the Kennedy Group's overseas branch.
Kyle had all the deets down pat since Alexander had him keeping tabs on the Kennedy Group.

Plus, sof the big shots know the main office is run by a moron now, so they're getting shady. It's a total dumpster fire over there, with bad management and a bunch of folks jumping ship. It's not gonna last much longer." "How long you think it can hold out?" Quinn asked.
"Hard to say, maybe a year or two, or just a few months. If we make a move, it could be toast in a month or two," Kyle said, oozing confidence. Quinn went quiet for a sec, then asked, "If the overseas branch goes belly up too, what happens to Getty?" "Then her personal stash gets seized, and all her liquid assets go to pay off debts," Kyle replied.
Quinn shot him a surprised look.
Kyle caught on and asked, "You thinking of...?" Quinn ran her fingers over the papers on the table and said, "She's been living the high life for too long. Tto pull the plug." Kyle nodded. "Got it." Three days later, court was back in session, and Getty's injury report cout, showing no fatal injuries.
So, no shocker, Getty lost the case. Knowing she was gonna lose, Getty didn't even bother showing up that day. Freya got off scot-free and was released right then and there.
Just like when she got out of prison, no one was there to pick her up. She walked out of the courthouse solo and hopped on the bus back to her rented place.
She pulled out her key to unlock the door, but before she could stick it in, the door swung open.
Freya pushed the door open and rushed inside. In the cramped, dim living room, Walter was chilling on the beat- up sofa, with Peanut standing next to him. Her eyes lit up, and she darted to Peanut, hugging him tight.
"Peanut," Freya said, tears brimming in her eyes.
Peanut snuggled into her arms, eyes full of joy, and hugged her back.
After a bit of catching up, Freya looked up at Walter. "Why are you here?" "I brought Peanut to you. No need to thank me," Walter said, all casual.
Freya bit her lip. She really wanted to be with Peanut, but for Peanut's sake, he should stay with Walter.

"Aren't we still married?" Freya suddenly asked.
"That's the other reason I'm here," Walter said.
Freya gave a bitter smile. "So that's it. But isn't Walter your fake name? Do e! we really need a divorce?"
"It's just a code name. I'm used to it and not planning to change it, Walter replied. Besides, Lucas might not even be his real name.
Freya said, "Got it. So when do we get om The contents of Og divorced?" The conten is E.com! "Now," Walter answered, plain and simple.
