Adeline had great confidence in this marriage alliance. Once the marriage failed, Leon's position would not be guaranteed, and he might even be expelled from the Arrision family. At that time, no one could stop Avril from smoothly inheriting the family business. As expected, even the calm and composed Audrey couldn't help but be surprised when he learned about Emerald's existence and Leonard attitude. Haley, who was standing next to him, was even more furious and kept speaking out. "This marriage alliance is of great importance. As the young master, Leon is so impulsive!" "What a waste of my lady's efforts to come to Cuba. Is this what your Arrision family means by sincerity? Or is your Arrision family deliberately playing with people?" Adeline couldn't help feeling proud, but still pretended to be apologetic and said, "Please rest assured, Haggard family. As an elder, I have an unshrinkable responsibility in this matter. I will make Leon agree." Audrey frowned slightly a

Once she nodded in agreement and willingly became Leon's concubine, no matter from which perspective, the Haggard family would be admitting the difference in status between the two families, which would make the prestige of the family more deeply rooted and cause the Haggard's family to be subject to the Arrision family. However, if she reneged on the spot and announced the cancellation of the marriage, the future of the Haggard's family would inevitably be stagnant and difficult to make progress and ultimately would be left behind by the Arrision family. It had to be said that Leon's move was extremely ingenious and brilliant. Audrey was originally a proud daughter of heaven, but she had never encountered someone of the same age who had such means. What was even more unbelievable to Audrey was that even knowing Leon's methods, she could not think of a way to break the deadlock, which was simply unimaginable. As Audrey was dumbfounded, the steward Haley beside her was alread

Under Audrey's stunning beauty, Emerald couldn't believe that Leon would speak up for her like that. His unwavering determination seemed unshakable! Emerald was moved beyond words. "Leon, you're going too far," Audrey was greatly provoked, especially by Leon's earlier statement that she would always be a concubine, which was a huge shame. "I don't think I'm going too far. As you said earlier, this is a transaction from beginning to end, and I'm just following the rules of the transaction," Leon said, shocking everyone again. Emerald had never dreamed that Audrey Would be such a perfect woman. In comparison, she couldn't help but feel that she was too ordinary and couldn't help but feel inferior. However, just as Emerald was feeling insecure, Leon's strong hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, and he solemnly introduced her. "Allow me to introduce my wife, Emerald!" Audrey looked her over and was even more discouraged. Her nails sank into her palms as she muttered, "So she's

After the celebration, Leon left the ward alone. As he looked outside, he found that his father, Caleb, was nowhere to be seen. Although disappointed, Leon felt relieved because if Caleb had come with genuine intentions, he might have been swayed by their familial ties, and this would have caused complications if he had taken action against the Arrision family in the future. But now, everything was going according to Leon's plan, and he no longer needed to worry about his father's influence. He could finally reject his hypocritical and heartless father without hesitation. At that moment, Emerald walked out of the ward. Seeing Leon's expression, she felt a pang of heartache but didn't know how to comfort him. She could only hold his arm silently. After a few minutes, Leon said, "Emerald, the Chamber of Commerce will announce the vice president tomorrow, come with me." Emerald was puzzled. "What does it have to do with me? What can I do?" Leon patted her hand and smiled.

Silence, a deathly silence! The entire business association and all the servants witnessed it, and none of them showed anything but awe. Although the position of Mrs. Dora was indeed very high, the servants only had the duty to obey. However, many of the servants present were quite clear in their hearts about the gap between Emerald, who came from a second-tier family in Cuba, and Leon. Previously, everyone's respect and address of Mrs. Dora were entirely due to Leon's authority, and they only felt that Emerald's attendance at the business association was just a supporting role. However, now, with Emerald's solemn statement and firm tone, all the servants dared not have the slightest contempt and suddenly realized that the woman chosen by the young master could not be simple! At this moment, Ada's Lewis stood up and broke the silence. "According to the Arrision family rules, those who violate them must be expelled from the family." "Those who are audacious, disrespectful,
