A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2411-2420

Chapter 2411 “That's it?" she asked with a hint of surprise.

Alexis tapped the desk with her pen and instructed, “Transfer all the available funds from my personal account to Edwin, and also inquire about my savings in the Rouemn bank. I need to access a significant sum of money.” The chief financial officer hesitated for a moment.

“Would you like to retain a portion of it?" Alexis chuckled.

“Huh... The Smith family has deep roots in Duefron for decades. While Edwin is a business elite, his foundation is still not on par with the Smith family. I can’t bear to see him fail. If Edwin loses, he'll be deeply ashamed in front of his wife.” ANGELA'sLIBRARY The chief financial officer smiled and said, “You really care about him." With a smile, Alexis sighed.

“I've been meaning to treat him to a milk tea for quite a while.

Alexis recalled the time when she had gone to visit her mother with the driver and had crossed paths with her aunt and Edwin.

It had been the first occasion when Alexis had laid eyes on Edwin.

Edwin bore such a striking resemblance to Alexis that she was almost certain at first glance that they were family.

But Edwin lived in such a small house.

Edwin had followed his mother, standing in line under the scorching sun to purchase milk tea. When he finally received his milk tea, he drank it so fast...

Alexis was fiercely protective of her family members.

Despite being the prospective heir to the Evans family, in Alexis’ Edwin still remained that little brother who needed her to eyes, take care of.

The chief financial officer promptly carried out Alexis’s instructions.

In the afternoon, Alexis received a message from Edwin, which read, “Thanks, Lexi." After reading the message, Alexis just smiled.

At that moment, her assistant whispered at the door.

“Miss Fowler, Mr. Leonel Douglas from Genesis Investment wishes to discuss matters related to setting the legal team with you.” Leonel? Alexis hadn't anticipated his return. Was he determined to continue bothering her? Alexis raised her head and saw Leonel.

Chapter 2412 The assistant, aware of the underlying tension between them, quickly devised an excuse and excused herself.

Alexis gestured for Leonel to close the door. She poured a glass of water for him and placed it in front of him. In a professional tone, she said, “Actually, you could have delegated this minor matter to one of your subordinates.” “I wanted to see you." Leonel had spent a considerable amount of time abroad, so he was always quite frank when talking about his feelings.

Fortunately, Alexis was also thick-skinned.

She smiled serenely.

“Unfortunately, I have no desire to see you.

Well, let's get down to business.” He had no reason to pay her another visit if they had already settled the matter previously.

When discussing business matters, they refrained from playful banter.

They were both professional regarding.

Throughout the negotiation, both of them sought to secure terms that were most favorable to their respective interests.

Ultimately, it was Alexis who decided to make a concession.

After signing the documents, Leonel fixed his gaze on her and inquired, “Are you facing financial difficulties?” He was well aware of her temperament. If she had no urgent need for the money, she wouldn't have budged during the final negotiation.

Alexis cleared up the desk.

She let out a disdainful snort.

“Mr. Douglas, it's none of your concern.” Leonel remained composed and withdrew a cigarette from his pocket, though he didn't light it.

He seldom smoked in front of Alexis.

Even though there were times when she would light a cigarette, he subconsciously didn’t want her to inhale second-hand smoke. In his eyes, she remained the beautiful girl in a bubble skirt.

But now she was a little rough.

He asked Alexis, “Is it for Edwin? I can help.” Alexis laughed.

Chapter 2413 “That's new. Weren't you and Edwin so close in the past? Didn't you go abroad to study together? And now, you want to assist him, but you're negotiating terms with me? Leonel, know this.

Edwin will never betray me. Just give up.” Leonel fixed his gaze on her and uttered, “Alexis, you know me all too well.” There was something Leonel didn’t mention to Alexis.

After he had sent her that letter that year and after they split up, he later got a girlfriend.

During that period, Edwin had engaged in a heated dispute with Leonel.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Since then, their interactions had been minimal. In fact, among the younger generation of the Evans family and the Fowler family, Edwin harbored the strongest aversion towards Leonel.

Despite his feelings, Edwin didn’t display any animosity on his face and maintained a polite demeanor when interacting with Leonel.

Alexis’ concern for Edwin made Leonel refrain from broaching the subject.

Alexis wasn't in the mood for an argument. She rose from her seat and stated, “Our discussion is concluded, Mr. Douglas. Please leave.” Leonel’s gaze remained inscrutable, his eyes deep and enigmatic.

He whispered.

“Can I invite you to dinner? It’s nearly the end of the workday. You must be thinking about dinner, aren't you?” Alexis refused.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Douglas. I have an appointment.” Leonel didn't force her.

Alexis summoned her assistant to escort Leonel out. Once he had departed, she took the check, contacted the accountant to document it, and subsequently sent the money to Edwin.

Alexis did it not only for Edwin, but also for her aunt Cecilia.
