Chapter 2386 Laura's cheeks flushed slightly as she stepped back, watching him start the car and waving goodbye.
Her heart was filled with a sweet sense of happiness at being called Mrs. Evans.
Edwin's first stop was his lawyer's office. Within half an hour, he reached Alexis’ law firm.
“Alexis!” he called out as he entered.

Dealing with Vanessa's obsession is one thing, but the elders in Czanch will be a tougher challenge. You're practically antagonizing the entire Evans clan!” Alexis, sinking a ball, gave Edwin a look of amused arrogance.
She then added, “A bold move for love. Not bad, Edwin." Edwin offered a wry smile and lit a cigarette.
“I haven't worked it all out yet. But I've got a plan,” he confessed.
Leaning against the snooker table, her posture elegant and poised, Alexis cast him a curious glance.

Edwin simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying her guesses.
Alexis’ demeanor turned a bit more serious as she scrutinized him.

But now, with a family in the picture and plans to marry Laura and raise children together, he found himself seeking a more peaceful path. He wanted to avoid any conflict for the sake of his future wife and children, so he agreed with Alexis’ approach.
As the negotiation began, the Evans clan elders sat in the conference room, visibly displeased.
They had little regard for Laura, seeing her as bringing nothing of value to the family.
Edwin, however, wasn't concerned with their opinions.
