That night, Leon returned to the hospital. Due to the stress of the surgery, he still couldn't enter the intensive care unit and could only stand outside watching over it.

Seeing Edith lying in the hospital bed with various monitoring devices and a ventilator, like a vegetable, Leon couldn't help but feel heartbroken, especially when he thought of Edith and what had happened in between. He was even more indignant.

If it weren't for Lewis's appearance, perhaps Leon would never have known about his background!

Of course, Leon fully understood why Edith had hidden the truth for so many years! Because no one else would be able to bear taking care of their flesh and blood and then recognizing the irresponsible and heartless man from the past!

But at the same time, it was also because of this that Leon could better understand the hardships Edith had gone through over the years, and that he was Edith's last reliance!

So Leon had such a big change as if he had suddenly awakened overnight! To be precise, Leon not only wanted to regain everything that belonged to him, but also to fight fiercely for Edith, and to let Edith step into the Arrison family's door with dignity one day!

Standing outside the ward, Arrison Leon felt heavy-hearted. After thinking it over, he still couldn't rest assured, so he went into the hospital director's office. Alin Dean hadn't left work yet.

When he saw Leon come in, he quickly got up to greet him. "Director Dean, when will my mother wake up?" Leon asked directly.

"The surgery was successful, but we still need to continue observing. Young Master Leon, you can rest assured that there shouldn't be any problems, but we're afraid that… she may be affected by external factors," Alin Dean suddenly frowned and his tone changed.

"External factors? My mother is staying in the ward. How could she be affected by external factors?" Leon looked puzzled.

"There's bad news, I have to tell Young Master Leon. Beatrice will arrive in Cuba tomorrow, claiming to come to see me for medical treatment, but I suspect it's not that simple. Most likely, she's coming for you, Alin Dean said, shocking Leon.

"For me?" Leon's face darkened as he instantly understood. Alin Dean lowered his voice and explained, "Young Master Arrison Leon, don't underestimate Beatrice's abilities. If she wants to harm you or do something to Edith, she won't hold back and won't leave any evidence behind."

"There are too many people and too many prying eyes in the hospital. I suggest we move to a safer place tonight. That's why I'm still here so late. I've already prepared everything for you," Alin Dean said, showing his concern for Leon.

Leon wasn't a fool and could naturally hear Alin Dean's good intentions. "Dr. Dean, thank you!" Meanwhile, in the Emily Villa area. Emily was pacing back and forth in the villa, her face full of regret.

"How did things turn out like that?"

"Leon is the heir of Panama in the Arrison family. It's over, we've offended him to death!" "Lex, you bastard, it's all your fault. If you hadn't been instigating me, I wouldn't have ended up in this mess. Leon must hate me now!" Emily collapsed on the ground, crying like a shrew, full of complaints, with no trace of her Chairman demeanor.

"Sis, you can't blame me for this. It was you who disagreed with Leon in the first place, and I just went along with you. If you had agreed, how could I have gone against you?" Lex's mouth twitched, his expression extremely helpless.

"At this critical moment, you still want to shirk responsibility. I picked the wrong person. With a brother like you, I'm doomed to be unlucky for eight lifetimes!" Emily cursed and grumbled.

Emerald sat on the sofa, unable to bear the surrounding noise any longer. "Can you guys stop arguing? I told you before, but you didn't believe me and kept thinking highly of Leon," she said.

"Now that the truth is out, you're acting like this, crying and making a scene. It's just an act, isn't it? You're trying to make me speak well of you in front of Leon." Emily moved closer and said, "Emerald, now only you can help us restore our image in front of Leon. You know how capable he is, he can help us succeed. We must make our impression!"

"So you're only thinking about success?" Emerald was furious. Lex said without any shame, "Emerald, Leon couldn't make it to the top before, but now it's different. He's much better than Simpson, a thousand times better. When you marry him, he'll benefit. So we must fix our impression!" Emily looked anxious.

"Yes, we were going to buy the company. If Leon gets angry and doesn't buy it, what should we do? We must find a way to merge with him!"

"After all this time, you still don't know where you went wrong. You only know how to judge people by money. I don't have the time to help you. You'll have to deal with Leon when he comes tomorrow," Emerald said, angry and in pain, and went into her room without looking back. Emily and Lex looked at each other.

"Sister, Emerald is not going to help us this time. According to Leon's personality, we might not get any benefit in the future, and we might not even be able to sell the company," Leon said, annoyed.

"We'll just have to take matters into our own hands and get a big sum of money from him!" Emily gritted her teeth. "How?" Lex became interested.

"Tomorrow, we'll invite all our relatives and talk about the dowry in front of them. We'll ask for a sky-high dowry!" Emily said firmly. "We must follow the proper procedures for marriage, especially for such a big family. We can't afford to be impolite!" Lex swallowed hard, his breathing becoming rapid.

"How much dowry do you plan to ask for?" he asked Emily crossed her fingers and made a gesture, "At least... ten billion!"

"Ten billion??" Lex was shocked. It is worth noting that although Diva Construction Company is a second-tier company in Panama, its overall value does not exceed ten billion. After all, Cuba is just a suburban city in Diva Province, far from the center.

Ten billion is enough for the siblings to live a life of luxury until they die!

Emily gave Lex a disdainful look and said confidently, "Ten billion is just a dowry. I think it's too little. Of course, it all depends on Leon's attitude."

    On that day, Leon arrived early in the Emily Villa area to formally propose marriage. Marriage is a major event in life, and no matter what conflicts there were before, things must be done according to the rules. For this reason, Leon prepared many gifts and hoped to do his best to make Emerald look decent. After all, during the time they were together, Leon saw how Emerald always tried to maintain their relationship. However, when Leon got out of the car, he saw a crowd of people at the villa gate. Looking around, they were all relatives and family members! Emily was standing in the front, smiling happily. When Emily saw Leon getting out of the car, she was even more delighted, not mentioning any previous conflicts and saying, "Oh, my good son-in-law, you finally arrived!" This "son-in-law" was called out loud enough, as if afraid that others couldn't hear it. Lex laughed so hard that his fat was shaking, and he went up to tightly hook Leon's shoulder, "Leon, why are you so poli

    Marriage and betrothal have been a tradition since ancient times. In Emily's view, this time it was a sure thing that she could get a great advantage. Especially in front of relatives, Leon couldn't lose face! As the heir of the Arrison family in Panama, if he couldn't even meet this requirement, it would be a joke! Just when Emily was still happy, Leon suddenly said, "What if I don't give it?" Emily widened her eyes, "Don't give?" Lex said urgently, "Leon, this is not following the rules. Who gets married without a dowry?" Leon stood up slowly, holding Emerald beside him, and said, "I don't want anyone to think that they can sit back and enjoy the benefits just because of my identity, and I don't want our marriage to become a transaction." "Moreover, you just now spoke so confidently. Now I want to ask you, is our relationship worth less than a dowry and a house? Do we have to have these things to get married?" "With so many relatives present, wouldn't it be like selling a daug

    Facing the surrounding gazes, Emily felt like she was in a difficult position. It was only at this moment that she realized that she had been too clever for her good from the beginning. If she had treated Leon with sincerity from the moment he entered the door, the outcome would have been very different.But now, not only had she gained nothing, but she had also lost face in front of her relatives who were mocking her. She had almost no choice but to seek forgiveness. If she wanted to achieve success and prosperity, she had no choice but to rely on Leon.Otherwise, Leon could easily bankrupt the Diva Construction Company in a fit of anger. However, Emily was uncertain whether Leon would truly forgive her if she kneeled in front of him in front of everyone. He might just pretend to forgive her while still holding a grudge in his heart, causing her to suffer humiliation for nothing.Seeing Emily's hesitation, Lex, who was standing beside her, did not hesitate to kneel directly on the f

    On that day, Arrison Leon stayed at the medical center with Emerald, taking care of Edith with all their efforts. At the same time, Leon notified Ada's Lewis and canceled the plan to acquire Diva Construction Company. Ada's Lewis had no objections and followed Leon's orders. However, he also mentioned on the phone that Ariana had arrived in Cuba and requested to meet Leon at 7 pm that evening. There was no doubt that Ariana intentionally came to Cuba. Although Leon had never met her before and only heard about her from others, he wanted to see for himself what kind of person she was and agreed to the meeting. The time quickly came to the evening, Leon asked Emerald to stay at the medical center and drove alone to the meeting place, the Hilton Hotel in the city center. When he arrived at the hotel, Ada's Lewis was already waiting at the entrance. "Has Ariana arrived?" Leon asked solemnly. "No... she hasn't come," Ada's Lewis replied awkwardly. "What does that mean? She asked

    With the sound of bang bang, blood gushed out, and Avril couldn't stop screaming. Ada's Lewis was terrified when he saw it, but he didn't have the guts to stand up and reach out to stop him. It was finally at this moment that Ada's Lewis realized how different Leon was from before. That kind of thunder-like momentum is simply shocking! Before this, Ada's Lewis had also doubted whether Leon dared to assume the position of the young master of the Arrision family. But now, after witnessing it with his own eyes, Ada's Lewis only felt that Leon was the young master! You must know that the person in front of you is the daughter of the Arrision family. Anyone who moves a hair will suffer infinite consequences, but Leon did not hesitate for a moment, and directly made a strong move. What Leon did today was not just a simple lesson to Avril, but also a positive response to Adeline. What is Leon's attitude? Avril kept screaming, but she was still proud and arrogant, and said plaus

    That night, Avril returned to her residence in a disheveled state, unable to stop crying and feeling deeply wronged. A luxurious middle-aged Woman sat on a chair, her face darkening as she angrily smashed a teacup to the ground. "Leon, that bastard, dares to do such a thing. It's obvious he doesn't care about me!" The woman speaking was none other than Adeline, the legitimate wife of the Arrision family in Panama. "Mom, you have to help me. Leon doesn't even see me as a person. If I hadn't begged for mercy, I might not have come back at all." Avril continued to cry and complain. "There may not be much I can do about him physically assaulting you," Adeline furrowed her brows, unable to contain her anger. "Leon is still the nominal young master, and you were the one who spoke out of turn. Plus, the Arrision family rules are strict. You might have to just take this loss." "Why? He almost killed me. Do you know what he did to me? He shoved my head into a fish tank, like I was not

    The next day, Emily and her brother arrived early to visit. As soon as they saw Ada's Lewis, Emily couldn't help but express her gratitude, "Manager Lewis, thank you so much for arranging this meeting." "I must help with such an important matter as marriage. Follow me inside," Ada's Lewis smiled and led the way. Emily was overjoyed and imagined a future of wealth and luxury after receiving a hefty dowry, as well as the expression on Leon's face when he found out the result. Under Ada Lewis's guidance, they soon arrived at the main hall. Adeline was present and looked uneasy. Avril had a bandage on her head and looked somewhat comical as if she didn't want to miss this scene and had purposely avoided being hospitalized. Ada's Lewis took the lead and bowed slightly, gesturing, "The person has been brought here!" Emily and Lex exchanged a few glances, curious about Adeline's identity and status. Emily pretended to be friendly and asked, "Hello, I am Emerald's mother, Emily. May I

    Under the beating of a group of bodyguards, Lex was rolling on the ground, screaming in pain. Emily was even worse, being grabbed and slapped in the face, her nose and face swollen and bruised. At this moment, Emily's heart was almost in despair. After all the trouble, it turned out that the other party was the legitimate wife of the Arrision family, which was completely unexpected. Thinking of this, Emily regretted it even more. It was all because of her greed that she was blinded by her interests. If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would not have offered such a high price and would not have pretended in front of Adeline. She should have been respectful and polite. Now, Emily began to doubt whether she could get out of here alive. After all, Adeline, a big shot, could easily make her disappear from this world without a trace. Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door. "Stop!" The voice spread all around, and the group of bodyguards stopped

It could affect your life and death at any moment, and yet you just give a casual response? l came all the way here just to tell you!" Audrey was almost infuriated.Leon slowly stood up from the bed and calmly said, "Even if Leo is alive, what can he do? I don't care whether he's alive or dead.""I'm curious though, you could have chosen the more advantageous side with Leo, so why did you come to tell me? Could it be..." Audrey was filled with anger and retorted, "Nonsense! I just want to win you fairly and squarely, I don't want to win in such a dishonorable way.

    Afterwards, Leon returned to the president's office. Godfrey followed him in and closed the door behind him. "Adeline and her daughter personally came to issue a challenge!""Young Master, could this be true?" Godfrey's face showed disbelief and his heart was in turmoil. As one of the insiders, he could definitely understand the intentions behind Adeline and her daughter's words and actions when they came to the door. Freya waved his hand. "Dad, the Young Master has already handled it properly. You don't need to worry too much.""How can I not worry? This is a huge matter!" Godfrey was extremely anxious. Leon raised his eyes and looked at Godfrey's expression. He couldn't help but smile slightly, then nodded at Freya as a signal. Godfrey understood and explained the whole story to Godfrey. After hearing it, Godfrey was shocked and his expression changed dramatically. Finally, he almost worshipped Leon, excitedly laughing and bowing to him. "Young Master is brilliant, this is simply

    They walked out of the hotel's gate. Freya felt like he had just woken up from a dream and was refreshed from head to toe. The situation that he thought was extremely embarrassing had suddenly changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. It was unbelievable! Especially when he thought of Leo's face, Freya couldn't help but feel a great sense of satisfaction. Leo thought he was clever and could kill with his words, but he was actually just tying himself up with his own words. In front of the young master, he was nothing but a paper tiger that could be easily defeated. In the end, it was Leo himself who was killed by his own words! Among all this, what impressed Freya the most was Leon's thunderous actions from beginning to end. His iron-blooded and domineering spirit was overwhelming and awe-inspiring! After this encounter, the young master's name was truly unparalleled! Without hesitation, Freya straightened his body and spoke with the utmost respect, "Young Master, I w

    "Leo, I really have to thank you even in my dreams!" "Because if it were me, l would definitely not come to Cuba, but head straight to Panama!" "You think you have the upper hand, but you don't realize that you're actually walking into a trap!" Leon burst into laughter, analyzing the situation in just a few sentences. Freya stood beside him, suddenly realizing the truth. Leo was indeed the biggest threat, and once he went to Panama to reveal his identity, Leon would have no chance of turning the tables andwould be in an irreversible situation.But Leo was too arrogant!He thought he could stand behind the scenes and wait until the situation was ripe before making his move, but he didn't realize that he was actually inviting disaster upon himself. Leon would never let Leo leave Cuba alive, let alone the hotel! To put it bluntly, Leo was already a dead man walking, and even if he died again, what difference would it make? Thinking of this, Freya suddenly realized why Leo

    "Leon, please have a seat!" With a smile on his face, Linton gestured for Leon to sit down as they entered the presidential suite. Leon took a quick glance around the room before sitting down and couldn't help but take a few more looks at Linton. It had to be said that Linton's mature appearance was still sharp and distinct, even with wrinkles creeping up in middle age, he couldn't conceal the youthful charm he had in his prime. "As a representative of the Arrision family overseas, why did Representative Linton come to this small place in Cuba without even a greeting, and stayed here for several days?" Leon got straight to the point without any hesitation. Freya stood aside and didn't interrupt, as if turning into Leon's ears and eyes, carefully observing Linton's every move and expression. Linton remained calm and composed, making tea while smiling gently, "Although Cuba is a small place, hasn't it also produced someone like Leon?" "The reason why I came here

    The Chamber of Commerce was flourishing. After a series of changes, project adjustments, and resource integration, the major servant families had basically completed their transfer. As for the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, it was still fully taken on by Godfrey. Leon sat in his brand new office, constantly reviewing the project files on his desk, checking and stamping them, and he was completely engrossed in his Work. At this moment, Godfrey and his son knocked on the door and walked in slowly. "Young Master!" Leon put down his pen and couldn't help but smile at Godfrey, praising him, "Godfrey, thanks to your efforts in the transfer from the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce to the Chamber of Commerce, we wouldn't have achieved this level so quickly." "This is what the old servant should do. After all, I am the vice president and | cannot embarrass you. Besides, I haven't had a chance to thank you for promoting my son." Godfrey was overjoyed and

    In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Under the full efforts of Freya and the strong call of the Zion family group, the New Business Association was officially established in the name of Leon. On the day of its establishment, various local families in Cuba flocked to join the association and were willing to serve it. In addition, the servant families of the Business Association also began to move collectively and bring all their resources to the New Business Association, and this momentum continued to grow. What was even more unbelievable was that after the establishment of the New Business Association, the people involved in Lior's relationships not only did not obstruct the progress of the New Business Association as expected, but instead the wind direction changed drastically and all of them cooperated without daring to make trouble. Moreover, they even personally sent gifts to the New Business Association. For a time, the New Business Association's momentum

    In the name of a concubine, I will stand in for my husband. With these words, Leon had nothing to say. Faced with such remarks, Audrey was completely stunned. "Leon, you are simply arrogant. If I, Haley, don't teach you a lesson today, how can Miss Leo's face be preserved?" Haley was furious and could no longer restrain his emotions. He raised his hand and slapped Leon. Leon easily caught Haley's wrist, exerted force with his foot, and calmly threw Haley to the ground. Then, Leon said lightly, "I told you before, leave Cuba early, don't wander in front of me, and don't bring shame upon yourself. You have only yourself to blame." "You damn thing, if it weren't for the lack of heirs in the Arrision family, how could a wild seed like you have a chance?" Haley quickly got up, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture to continue the fight. Hearing the term "wild seed," Leon's killing intent flashed. Like a bolt of lightning, his five fingers turned into dragon claws and grab

    After dealing with the matters at Spring Resort, Leon handed over the task of mobilizing the people to the Zion Group, and personally went to the Adam's family in Cuba. The Adam's family was as peaceful as usual. Upon learning of Leon's arrival, Freya immediately put aside everything else and hobbled out with his crutches to greet him. He respectfully led Leon to the main hall and served him tea and water. Leon did not rush to drink the tea, but instead focused his gaze on Freya and asked, "How is your leg injury recovering?" "Thank you for your concern, young master. Freya's leg injury has recovered a lot. In a little while, I won't need crutches anymore. However, it may bea bit inconvenient for me to move around in the future, but it won't affect anything," Freya replied, bowing his head and not daring to look directly at Leon. Leon sighed and said, "Regarding the incident before, you didn't know my identity beforehand, and it was only out of the family's positio
