Female NovelChapter 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?"

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