Leonel was reluctant to get involved.

But Kenneth was his blood relative, and Serenity had once been with him.

Darwin, Serenity's ex-husband, was also his business partner.

This made the matter complicated as Kenneth had raped Darwin's ex-wife.

Leonel thought about how he was going to explain to Darwin and found the situation difficult to navigate.

Deep down, he wanted Kenneth to face justice in prison.

As Leonel turned to leave, Kenneth called out in distress, “Leonel, say something! What are you thinking? You wouldn't betray your father over a woman, would you?"

Leonel replied coldly, "Get ready for prison."

With that, he Left.

Outside, dawn was yet to break. Leonel sat in his car, taking a moment to smoke a cigarette quietly. Then he drove to the hospital.

Serenity was there, receiving treatment for a tearing wound.

She became hysterical when she saw Leonel and hurled a glass from her bedside at him.

“Why are you here?" she demanded.

Leonel, having dodged the glass, stood by the door and watched Serenity in her distraught state.

He had just learned from the nurse that this had been her first sexual experience and she was raped by Kenneth.

He didn't expect the revelation that Serenity had never been intimate with Darwin.

It left him with conflicting emotions.

Given the situation, Leonel felt obliged to offer financial compensation to her. He had decided not to interfere with the legal aspects of the case.

Serenity continued to vent her anger as she smashed objects in the room.

Once she had calmed down, Leonel pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
