Chapter 2541 Serenity was deeply upset by Leonel’s apparent indifference towards the loss of her virginity.

She gasped and sneered. “You can't just walk away. Even if I'm ruined, I'll make sure you're dragged down with me. I'll insist on a public trial.

Remember, Leonel, you're the son of a rapist. Think about this. If Alexis marries you, her child will be the grandchild of a rapist. Do you believe she would still marry you under these circumstances?” At this point, Leonel’ patience finally wore thin.

Rising to his feet, he said, “Whatever!” and headed for the door.

Serenity called out desperately when he opened the door, “Leonel, come back!” She realized that her current predicament was all because of Leonel.

At that moment, she deeply missed Darwin.

Darwin would never have treated her this way.

Meanwhile, Leonel drove directly to Alexis’ apartment after he left the hospital. He waited there until she showed up.

She spotted Leonel when she came out of her apartment.

Alexis hesitated for a moment, but then she opened the car door and got in.

Aware that Alexis usually didn't prepare breakfast herself, Leonel handed her a bag of breakfast. As she ate, Alexis inquired, “Why are you here so early?” Leonel glanced at her.

Given her court appearance scheduled for that day, she was simply dressed in a white shirt and black windbreaker and her long hair fell loosely.

ANGELA'sLIBRARY Leonel reached out, gently touched her elegant nose, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Did you meet him yesterday?” Alexis thought for a moment before she realized whom Leonel was referring to.

She nodded.

She looked up after a while and asked, “What? Did he come looking for you?” Leonel hesitated briefly, and then quietly explained to Alexis the incident with Serenity. This caused Alexis to frown in concern.

Alexis knew precisely what Serenity was up to.

Her primary motive was to tarnish Leonel’s reputation.

With his father’s actions coming to light, Leonel’s future in the business world would undoubtedly be challenging.

Alexis remained silent.

Chapter 2542 She chose to neither sympathize with Serenity nor to further criticize her in her vulnerable state. She understood the complexities from a woman's perspective.

Leonel admitted in a low tone, “There are many ways I could make Serenity back down, but Alexis... I don’t want to resort to those methods. They're too distasteful.” Alexis nodded, understanding his stance.

With a slight smile, Alexis responded, “The decision is yours to make.” Leonel grasped her hand and asked, “Will it bother you?" He reflected on his strained relationship with Kenneth and the potential outcome when the latter's crime came to light. Despite everything, that man was still his biological father.

Deep down, Leonel questioned whether Alexis would remain by his side despite these challenges.

Alexis pondered and said, “Honestly, this won't affect our relationship.

Leonel, we aren't exactly on the same side. How you handle matters with Serenity is your business, not mine.” Leonel’s face lost color at her words.

Alexis exited the car and said, “Thank you for the breakfast.” She got into her car and drove off. Through her rearview mirror, she could see a hint of disappointment on Leonel's face.

She was aware of the impact Kenneth's actions could have on Leonel.

Having faced betrayal herself in her past, Alexis had a certain level of tolerance towards Leonel’s situation.

After leaving the courtroom later that morning, Alexis unexpectedly ran into Darwin.

Darwin leaned casually against her car with a cigarette in hand.

The ground near his feet was littered with five cigarette butts which indicated that he had been waiting for her for quite a while already.

Alexis approached her car, tossed her briefcase inside, and casually inquired, “What's up?” Darwin looked at her with a thoughtful expression.

Although he didn’t really know Alexis personally, their fathers had been friends.

He nodded and said, “There's something I need to discuss with you." Alexis gestured towards a cafe across the road. “Why don’t we sit down and talk?” Sitting inside moments later, Alexis stirred her coffee and waited for Darwin to begin.

Darwin inquired softly, “What do you know about Serenity?”

Chapter 2544 He felt a chill break out at the thought of it so he refrained from probing further.

Without another word, he drove straight to his apartment.

“It's not the weekend,” Alexis pointed out.

“Does that mean I can't spend the night with you unless it's a weekend?” Leonel said in an unnervingly calm tone.

She cast a sideways glance at him.

Their relationship this time was different. They spoke little and felt a distance between them.

The intensity of Leonel's feelings overwhelmed Alexis.

Alexis wondered if his need to flee in the past stemmed from similar feelings.

When they arrived at his apartment, he lifted her and carried her to the bedroom.
