Those old guys at Czanch called him for a proper explanation.
Edwin was swamped with dealing with the situation the whole day, and when the work day neared its end, he finally found time and called Leonel.
After a few rings, Leonel picked up.
âLeonel, are you a hundred percent certain about this? Youâve made a huge mistake! Even if I take the fall, do you honestly think Marcus would? Today, you strike at me.
The next day, you might just strike at the Fowler family.
Marcus is naturally quiet, but you should know his methods are far more ruthless compared to mine!â
He paused and chuckled.
âA dog that bites doesnât bark.
You really think he has a good temperament?â
Leonel was well aware of that fact.
He chuckled.
âMy God⦠Edwin, trapped by a mere 8Q billion? Unbelievable.

You need reinforcements already?â
âf@ck you!â Edwin yelled.
âYouâre playing with fire and youâre only going to get burned!â
With that, he hung up.
He unlocked his phone and came across a photo.
It was a picture of him and Leonel when he was 16.
They were so close like real brothers back then.
Different thoughts ran through his mind as he returned home.
He arrived to find Laura cooking.
He placed his briefcase down and took what she had in her hands.
âWhat do you think youâre doing? Youâre pregnant.
â
Laura was only a few weeks pregnant and wasnât even showing yet.

She looked so adorable and youthful in her baggy overalls.
Edwin continued from where she stopped and finished off the cooking.
She stood close to him as he cooked with a small pout.
âI wanted you to come home to meet dinner.
â
Edwin gave her a warm and loving smile then returned his focus to the food.
He was preparing a light, yet nutritious meal.
Laura felt happy and content.
She could tell that he was troubled with the company issues, so she gently held his arm.
âI heard Leonel is teaming up with Vanessa?â
Edwin gave her light pats on her head.
âLeonel⦠his real target isnât actually me.
He doesnât plan to give the funds to the Smith family either.
â
Laura was confused.
