Marcus swallowed hard, his eyes narrowing. “I foresee Edwin as the first to suffer! He's in a fierce battle with the Smith family, and given the alliance between the Fowler and Evans families, no one in Duefron dares to intervene. However, Leonel is a different matter. He desires a connection with my sister, and he will undoubtedly exploit this situation. With Leonel wielding such substantial capital, a subtle maneuver behind the Smith family is all it takes, rendering all of Edwin's endeavors in the past six months futile. If we wish to prevent Edwin's downfall, the Fowler family must step in to support him, or at least Alexis will have to do something."

Being the parent, he remained composed.

Leonel was his protege, and Waylen was aware of his capabilities, but this turn of events was still unexpected.

Acting impulsively for the sake of a woman wasn't characteristic of Leonel!
