Right then, a phone call interrupted his thoughts. It was Jayden Gibson, his financial advisor from Acoiclya, informing him that the massive 20 billion dollars fund was ready for investment.

Leonel responded calmly, “Hold off on any investments. I have another plan for that money."

Jayden protested, seeing a lucrative chance, “This is a great opportunity! We could double it if we're lucky."

Leonel replied with a slight smile, “I have a more important use for it. Even more crucial than making money."

Jayden, on the other Line, couldn't grasp Leonel's intentions.

After ending the call, Leonel thought that if Alexis wished for Edwin's success, then he would support it too. He longed to see the joy on Alexis' face!

When Alexis woke up in the morning, she was wearing one of Leonel's black shirts.

Beside her on the table was a check for 20 billion dollars.

She gazed at it in disbelief for a moment before taking it with her.

As expected, Leonel was in the kitchen.

He was preparing a lavish breakfast feast with a spread of mouth-watering dishes.

Alexis wrapped her arms around him from behind.

She said softly, "20 billion dollars for a night?! Mr. Douglas, you're truly generous!"

Leonel's laughter filled the room.

Continuing with breakfast preparations, he replied, "This money was actually borrowed for Edwin. But if you prefer to think of it as an overnight fee, that's fine too. Though, we might need to rename it a bride price! If you really charge this much, my net worth would only afford me a handful of nights with you."

Alexis deliberately challenged him.

She teased, “Isn't that a good investment though? You seemed to quite enjoy it last night, Mr. Douglas."

Finally turning to her, Leonel responded Lightly, “Watch out, or I might just wear you out again!"

Alexis, aware of his stamina, decided not to tease him further.

She became serious and asked, "Why not give the money directly to Edwin? Why pass it through me?’
