Meanwhile, Evelyn silently entered the car through the open door.

With determination, Alexis slid into the driver's seat and pressed the gas pedal lightly. The car roared to life, gradually making its way towards the estate's entrance.

Inside the car, Alexis' hands trembled as she could finally escape.

She had been in Geveland with Leonel for nearly half a month, and fear gripped her. She didn't know what she would do if his behavior escalated to the point of endangering her, especially the possibility of him getting her pregnant again.

Then, she remembered Evelyn was also in the car and said softly, "Let's go home."

Evelyn nodded in agreement.

Evelyn cherished her father and the moments when both her parents cared for her and her brother, Daniel, together. However, she understood that if her mother wasn't happy, neither would she be.

Alexis accelerated the car by pressing the gas pedal.

The driver soon realized he had been deceived and began to chase after the car, shouting in a language they couldn't comprehend.

However, Alexis' car was already approaching the gate, swiftly making its escape.

At that moment, the imposing black gate started closing slowly.

Above her head, countless incandescent lights illuminated the night, casting a brightness like daylight.

Alexis slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop.

Sitting motionless in the car, she gazed ahead calmly. She understood she couldn't flee anyway. In that moment, she realized that Leonel had never truly trusted her and had always harbored suspicion.

Anxiously, Evelyn asked, “Mom, aren't we escaping?"

Alexis closed her eyes, her voice tinged with a hint of relief.

“Yes, we can't escape at the moment. We may have to remain here for a while longer."

Evelyn pursed her lips, remaining silent. Despite her youth, she grasped the situation to some extent.

After about two minutes, the driver's side door was opened from the outside.

Alexis glanced up and spotted Leonel. He stood outside in his fine suit, regarding her with gentle eyes.
