Clutching a briefcase, she leaned casually against the doorframe, observing the scene with mild amusement. Then, with a nonchalant tone, she cautioned, "Mr. Calderon, refrain from self-incrimination henceforth. Your words have been duly noted by my client, Mr. Albert Waston. Given the vast financial resources of the Waston Group, pursuing legal action until your finances and reputation are utterly depleted would be a simple matter."

Axell stood there, bewildered.

Disbelief washed over him. He had merely exchanged heated words with Jessie.

How could it be possible?

Could Albert truly ruin him over a mere exchange of words?

Axell's refusal to apologize might have stemmed from his sense of pride. In response, Albert instructed Alexis, "Take the necessary steps."

Alexis nodded.

As Axell left, he felt a twinge of resentment and embarrassment.

Casting a cold gaze at Jessie, Axell questioned, “Are you content now?

You claimed nothing was amiss between you and him. Do you even believe your own words?"

Jessie had no desire to justify herself to Axell.

Once Axell left, Jessie too sought to depart, only to be halted by Albert.

Clasping her hand, Albert turned to Alexis, commanding, “Gather the necessary evidence and initiate legal proceedings against Axell."

Offering a faint smile, Alexis remarked, "Life's full of surprises.

In just a matter of days, you've managed to tear this couple apart."

Albert disliked the comment. "I respect Jessie's decisions," he retorted.

Alexis listened attentively before extending her hand with a smile.

"I'm Alexis Fowler, the Waston Group's new chief legal counsel. Feel free to call me Alexis. Melissa mentioned your good relationship with her."

When Jessie was young, she prioritized fun over work.

She now felt a lack of confidence in the presence of a fierce and successful woman like Alexis.
