Leonel looked at his daughter solemnly.
As Evelyn matured, her resemblance to Alexis became more striking, particularly in their matching eyebrows.
Closing his eyes briefly, Leonel affirmed, “No, I don’t have feelings for that woman.
I love your mom.
”
Evelyn cried out, “Then why were you with someone else?”
Leonel remained silent, unable to provide an answer.
He comforted Evelyn until she drifted back to sleep before returning to the master bedroom.
In the living room, Alexis lacked appetite, barely touching her food.
When the servant went upstairs for cleaning, Alexis intercepted her, slipping a diamond watch into her hand with a hushed tone.
“Purchase a box of medicine for me, and this will be your reward.
Leonel doesn’t need to know.

The servant paused, considering her circumstances.
Despite her decent salary and rumors of Leonel’s strictness, she couldn’t ignore the risk.
Tonight’s dismissal of the driver served as a stark reminder.

However, Leonel halted her movements.
In a panic, the servant fumbled, causing the item in her hand to slip and fall to the floor.
As she hastily stooped to retrieve it, the watch slipped out of her pocket.
She attempted to conceal it, but before she could act, Leonel had already picked it up.
Examining it carefully, he spoke in a measured tone.
“I believe this watch belongs to Alexis.
You stole her watch.
I should contact the authorities and have you taken to the police station immediately.
They will question you to see if you’ve stolen anything else from the villa.
You could face up to ten years in jail.
”
The servant’s complexion paled as she hastily interjected, “It was Mrs.

”
“She gave it to you?”
Leonel’s smile was sardonic.
“For what reason would she give you such a valuable watch? Your excuses are feeble.
I’ll notify the authorities at once.
”
The servant was so frightened.
