Nonetheless, she refrained from objection, recognizing Leonel's volatile nature-like a ticking bomb ready to detonate at any time.

She wished to avoid any confrontation with him.

She anticipated he would take her to his investment company.

Unexpectedly, the car halted at Exceed Group, a company she had once overseen.

As the car came to a stop, Alexis gazed up at the familiar building, lost in contemplation.

Leonel casually remarked, “A year after your departure, I took charge.

Naturally, you remain the majority shareholder of Exceed Group.

Essentially, I've been working on your behalf, generating income."

He delicately caressed the steering wheel and said, "Over the last two years, you received a 52-billion-dollar dividend from the Exceed Group. I worked my ass off to secure it for you. I earned the Lavish lifestyle you and Calvin enjoyed in Braseovell through countless sleepless nights."

Alexis remained silent, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her demeanor brought to Leonel's mind the moment she experienced her first menstrual period at the age of 16.

His heart softened.

But he recalled who had shared those three years with Alexis in Braseovell.

Occasionally, those thoughts would fiercely assail his mind.

Consequently, Leonel engaged in a game of push and pull with Alexis.

However, he consistently displayed patience with Evelyn. He proved to be gentler than any father in the world, showering Evelyn with care—a stark contrast to Waylen's approach to tending to the children.

The entire Exceed Group staff witnessed Leonel emerging from the car, cradling a little girl.

With tender skin, large eyes, and brown curly hair, the little girl was undeniably beautiful.

Was she... Leonel's daughter?

After a while, the door on the opposite side swung open. Stepping out was Leonel's significant other, Alexis. However, despite everything, Leonel and Alexis seemed outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds.
