Despite the insinuations, Alexis remained composed.

Serenity, with a colder smile, continued, "Alexis, maybe you're not aware that the man calling you honey has no intention of having a baby with you. He underwent a vasectomy. This implies that even if you marry, having a child is not on the cards for you, and my child is set to be his only heir."

Unfazed by the tangled web of relationships, Alexis remained indifferent.

The revelation left her stunned.

Leonel... had undergone a vasectomy.

Questions swirled in Alexis’ mind. Why had Leonel undergone a vasectomy? And why was he reluctant to share the prospect of parenthood with her?

A realization then dawned on Alexis. Leonel's fear that something untoward might befall her, coupled with the possibility of pregnancy, could be the driving force behind his decision.

Despite her disappointment, Alexis, resilient in spirit, chose not to become the subject of Serenity's amusement. She nonchalantly declared, “That's a matter between us."

Disbelieving, Serenity pressed further, “Is it really just between the two of you? If so, why was he hesitant to share this with you?"

Alexis chose silence.

Sensing Alexis' distress, Serenity closed the gap and spoke in hushed tones. "I've been with him before. I believe I understand him more than you do. Do you genuinely believe he's Leading a content life in the Fowlers' residence? If so, why did he depart that year? What level of security have you provided him now? Leonel and I share the same nature. We're the perfect match."

Alexis, adopting an indifferent tone, remarked, “It appears you not only conceive children but also harbor suspicions."

Alexis instructed to escort the guest out, stating, "I presume that's what you wanted to convey. Farewell and good riddance."

Observing Alexis' countenance, Serenity sought to discern her emotional state.

Sensing Serenity's probing, Alexis, determined to maintain composure, casually dismissed her, stating, "You should leave now."

The secretary intervened, approaching to escort Serenity out.

Following Serenity's departure, Alexis sank onto the sofa with a sense of dejection, tossing the cue stick aside.

The considerate secretary offered, "Miss Fowler, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Gesturing dismissively, Alexis reclined on the sofa.

Shutting her eyes, Alexis softly uttered, “No, thank you. Step outside and shut the door for me."
