Understanding she needed time to think, he didn’t press further. He gently rubbed her hair and said, “There’s no rush. Take your time to think.”
In the meantime, he wanted to look after her. He didn’t want her seeing anyone else.
Leonel wasn’t typically a possessive man.
He only felt jealous around Alexis, especially if she paid attention to someone else.
Under the night sky, their eyes met.
A voice exclaimed out of nowhere, “You’re the reason Colin and I are divorced! His business is ruined too! If not for you, I’d still be enjoying my life.”
The woman who spoke made a move to claw at Alexis’ face.
Her action seemed practiced, as if she had done this to many before.

Alexis was caught off guard.
To her surprise, Leonel stepped in to protect her. He received the vicious scratches on his face. His face was marked with five deep, bleeding scratches. It was terrifying.
“Leonel! Don’t be reckless!”

Despite the pain, Leonel continued to shield Alexis. He didn’t hold back against the woman and he forcefully kicked her so she Landed hard. She began to throw a fit that lacked any grace one would expect from a lady.
It could be heard from her cries that after her divorce from Colin, his business struggled.
She had shown concern for her ex-husband and even lent him 5 million dollars, which didn’t end up helping him at all.
She was now blaming Alexis for her loss.
Bystanders turned to Alexis and Leonel, curious to hear their response.
Alexis responded with a cold sneer, “I secured 50 million dollars for you in the divorce. You had enough for a comfortable life. But you chose to give the money back to Colin. Who’s to blame now?”
The woman sat quietly on the ground, defeated.
Alexis was strong-willed. She felt no sympathy for the woman and immediately called the police.
The police soon arrived and took the woman for questioning.
By the time everything was sorted, dawn was breaking. As they left the police station, Alexis told Leonel, “Let’s get you to a hospital.
We can’t let your face get worse.”
Leonel calmly replied, “Let’s head to my apartment instead. I have a well-stocked first aid kit there.”
Without much hesitation, Alexis got into his car.
