The door swung open and then closed shut.
The apartment was enveloped in profound silence. Alexis remained the sole occupant, standing quietly in the elevated perch of Duefron, savoring her solitude.
It was late at night.
She contemplated that it wasn’t a matter of being unable to accept Leonel.
When she embraced him, her emotions still stirred.
It was because she held such deep affection for him and she had offered him all the purest aspects of her youthful life, only for him to turn away and leave with contempt.
Accepting him now would only make her feel sorry for younger herself.
Alexis lifted her head slightly and straightened her posture.
A week later, Alexis was sitting in her office at the law firm.
She was engaged in a phone conversation with Edwin.
The conflict between the Evans family and the Smith family had escalated significantly. Mark’s message conveyed that he wouldn’t intervene, nor would he allow Waylen to take action. Obviously.
Mark’s intention was for Edwin to confront the Smith family on his own.

Whether Edwin could succeed or not, it served as a test for him.
Alexis was not a fool.
It appeared that Mark wasn’t particularly concerned about his son. In reality, Mark was exerting pressure on the stubborn elders of the Evans family in Czanch. Those men must have been so anxious to witness the volatility in the Evans Group’s stock. Mark displayed no fear whatsoever. If he were to face financial hardship, he could rely on his wife.
Of course, Mark refrained from intervening in affairs involving younger individuals.
Alexis had the strongest bond with Edwin. Although they might not have been closely related by blood, their physical resemblance was striking. Edwin had a bossy exterior, but Alexis could always be assertive towards him.
They had a lengthy discussion.
Following the phone call, Alexis summoned the firm’s chief financial officer and her personal treasurer.
As the chief financial officer arrived, Alexis leaned against the back of her chair.
“How much working capital does the law firm have?
And how much money can I withdraw from my personal account?”
The chief financial officer checked.
“Miss Fowler, you have over thirty billion dollars available in your personal account. As for the firm, there’s approximately one billion dollars allocated for its operational needs. The remainder is invested in various ways,” the chief financial officer explained.
