Leonel was well aware of that fact.

He chuckled. “My God... Edwin, trapped by a mere 80 billion?

Unbelievable... You need reinforcements already?"

"Fuck you!" Edwin yelled. "You're playing with fire and you're only going to get burned!"

With that, he hung up.

He unlocked his phone and came across a photo.

It was a picture of him and Leonel when he was 16.

They were so close like real brothers back then.

Different thoughts ran through his mind as he returned home. He arrived to find Laura cooking. He placed his briefcase down and took what she had in her hands. "What do you think you're doing? You're pregnant."

Laura was only a few weeks pregnant and wasn't even showing yet.

She looked so adorable and youthful in her baggy overalls.

Edwin continued from where she stopped and finished off the cooking.

She stood close to him as he cooked with a small pout. "I wanted you to come home to meet dinner."

Edwin gave her a warm and loving smile then returned his focus to the food.

He was preparing a light, yet nutritious meal. Laura felt happy and content.

She could tell that he was troubled with the company issues, so she gently held his arm. "I heard Leonel is teaming up with Vanessa?"

Edwin gave her light pats on her head.

“Leonel... his real target isn't actually me. He doesn't plan to give the funds to the Smith family either."

Laura was confused.

And Edwin didn't give any further explanation. He concealed the rest.
