Marcus smiled. "I suppose you're here on behalf Leonel?"

Alexis stared at him silently.

Marcus poured himself another glass, he examined the crimson liquid and sighed lightly. “Alexis... I hope you don't think I'm not interested in reconciling with him. If anything, he's the one who doesn't seem interested. And I can't sit silently and watch him do this to us."

Alexis grabbed the bottle and poured herself some wine, filling it to the top.

Within a few seconds, she drank half the glass.

Marcus leaned back into the couch and shut his eyes. "You know what?

He's a lunatic! He's carefully planned everything out. All he needs is for us to fall into his trap. Alexis... he's also betting on the fact that you'll soften! He's pushing himself towards a dead end on purpose!"

Leonel set everything up and was waiting patiently.

It was the first time Marcus was seeing something like that.

It was more like he understood Alexis too well.

Fortunately, there was only one person who would push himself to destruction like this for Alexis.

Marcus continued talking, Alexis was silent all through. She downed two glasses of wine and walked upstairs.

She skipped dinner.

Friday was the day for the contract to be signed between Genesis Investment and the Smith family.

At the club, all the Smith family's important figures were present, including Weldon, Thomas and Vanessa.

Leonel was seated opposite them.

The Smith family had already decided to rid themselves of Leonel once they secured the investment.

Leonel was composed and calm, unlike his assistant, who was basically shaking in his boots and glancing at the clock almost every minute.

Vanessa was extremely disappointed. She believed Leonel had potential and was promising, but now he had somehow managed to endanger himself...

Vanessa spoke softly. "This is it. The official contract. Mr. Douglas, you can go ahead and sign it now."
