She then remembered that the rubber ducks she bought when she ran into Laura shopping for baby goods the other day were still sitting in the car.

As she was about to wear her clothes and go get them, her eyes caught a document in the corner of the drawer.

Alexis wasn't normally a prying person but the document's content intrigued her. She opened the drawer and found a pile of Leonel's rather personal documents.

She skimmed through them.

Her face was a little pale in the end.

The documents weren't very important but they revealed the flow of trillions of dollars in Genesis Investment's funding. Alexis could now see the sources of this massive financing, its destinations, and various other aspects of the investment.

Even if Genesis Investment faced total loss, Leonel would be okay.

He wouldn't face imprisonment nor jump off the roof.

His net worth was nearing an astounding 800 billion dollars.

Leonel's recent involvement with the Smith family came to mind. They were mere pawns in his game but Alexis took it seriously.

Reflecting on this, Alexis realized just how naturally gifted Leonel was at acting.

It was not surprising that Marcus felt compelled to act. Had he not confronted Leonel, Leonel would have likely taken things further.

They said an old ox plowed a straight row.

But Leonel was merely 28 years old.

Alexis, despite feeling conflicted, managed to have a shower and change her clothes. She then went downstairs to pick up those two little rubber ducks from her car. She spent the afternoon fiddling with them and did nothing else.

When Leonel returned from work she found Alexis playing with the duckling toys.

He took off his coat, made his way to the kitchen, and opened the refrigerator. He then peeked out and asked, “Why haven't you eaten?"

Alexis said in a light tone, “I'm not feeling hungry."

Leonel approached her, crouched down, and softly placed his hand on her stomach. "Could it be that you're pregnant?"

Alexis playfully slid the rubber duck under his shirt in response.
