    It bore Leonel’s signature.


    Edwin set the check on the desk, took a seat, and rubbed his temples, quipping, “Since when did your connection with him escte to writing a $200-billion check? Can I officially dub him my cousin-in-w?" Alexis blushed, retorting, “Just ept the money; no need for banter!” She smoothed her hair, adding, “In fact, ''m not rushing into anything with him!” Edwin''s eyes lit up with enthusiasm.
