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

    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

    Facing Leon's attitude, Audrey was caught off guard. As the heir of the Haggard family, she was always respectful towards anyone in front of her. However, Leon was different! "Although the Arrision family is the first family in Narnia, if we look at the overall situation and foundation, the Haggard family is not inferior!" "As we have already agreed on the marriage, we should be aware of the pros and cons. We should be cautious in our Words and actions. If we cause the relationship between us to fall into a deadlock again, can you bear the responsibility?" "Perhaps you, Leon, are not to be offended in the eyes of others, but it is not the case for me, Audrey!" As Audrey spoke, her momentum suddenly changed, instantly suppressing the whole scene with her imposing manner. Haley covered his face and felt relieved. He thought that Miss was indeed a talented woman. In terms of tactics, Leon was not her match. Today, Leon, the young master, was bound to be humiliated. On the other side

    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

    On that day, Leon received a call from Ada's Lewis. In the call, Ada's Lewis solemnly stated that the engagement between the two major families had been agreed upon, which would have a significant impact. Most importantly, Audrey would arrive in Cuba tonight to meet in the name of the family alliance. The old lady instructed that Leon must personally attend and not allow any mistakes to occur. In addition, the old lady also instructed Leon to settle things with Emerald as soon as possible. Leon had no response to this. Everything was within his expectations. The engagement between the two major families was a huge matter involving countless interests, and the old lady could not afford to make any mistakes. Unfortunately, Leon was not someone who would blindly follow orders and accept everything that was thrown at him. Time passed quickly, and it was now nighttime. The Cuba Grand Hotel appeared particularly solemn, with over a hundred bodyguards surrounding it, closely monito

    At the same time, Adeline was in Cuba and had been in the hospital due to her previous burn injuries. She had just learned about yesterday's incident. "What? Avril, are you sure you're not mistaken?" "That wild seed, Leon, actually...did that to Maurice." "I thought Leon would be suppressed by Maurice when he entered the Chamber of Commerce, but the opposite happened?" Adeline was stunned in the hospital bed, looking incredulous. Avril looked embarrassed and couldn't help but suggest giving up: "Mom, why don't we just forget about it? Leon is not someone who can be described by common sense. If we continue to develop this, we might end up in the same situation one day." Adeline slapped the bed and pointed to the burn on her body, cursing: "Look at what Adeline has done to me since l came to Cuba. How can l just give up and run back to Panama with my tail between my legs? How can I face myself in the future?" Avril's expression was filled with helplessness: "But we can't do any

    Faced with this situation, Amy was caught off guard. Emerald's fiance turned out to be the young master of the Arrision family! These relatives whom she looked down upon the most had risen to great heights. Most importantly, she had accused the young master of impersonating someone in front of him. Amy never dreamed that she would make such a big mistake, and even worse, she did it under the banner of the Charlton family of Oz, which resulted in her immediate disqualification from the vice president election. This consequence would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the entire Charlton family of Oz. After hanging up the phone, Emily couldn't help but laugh out loud: " Amy, now it's your turn to be embarrassed. You think you're the wife of the Charlton family, and you're pretending to be high and mighty in front of us, looking down on people." Lux also felt a sense of satisfaction from head to toe for the first time, riding on the coattails of Leon's fame, and experiencing what it

    The Oz Adam's family was already quite strong. Especially in the Arrision's Chamber of Commerce, the status of the Oz Charlton family is second only to the Oz Abel family! Now that Maurice I has completely fallen, and the entire Abel family has been implicated, the Charlton family should take advantage of the trend! There is at least a 70% chance of winning this election, and the Charlton family is sure to win the position of vice president. Amy, as the wife of the Charlton family in Oz, naturally felt contemptuous of her relatives in Cuba, and she had gradually alienated them many years ago. If it wasn't for the young master's approval of the Adams family in Cuba at the chamber of commerce yesterday, Amy wouldn't want to come to Cuba to meet these low-level relatives at all! A mere William, in Amy's view, is worthless, and it's far from it. "You Adam's family in Cuba, don't think that being praised by the young master can make you defiant." "In the servant family, there is

    That night, Leon stayed overnight at the Chamber of Commerce. Due to the death of Maurice, the position of vice president was left vacant, which was indispensable for the Chamber of Commerce. For this reason, Ada's Lewis specially listed a list neatly placed in front of Leon. Leon sat in the office, picked up the list on the desk, and carefully examined it. On this list were all first-line families, second only to the Abel family in Oz, and had a significant reputation throughout Spring Province. Ada's Lewis asked softly, "Young Master, the position of the vice president is a major event for the Chamber of Commerce. We cannot be hasty. After seeing this list, what is your opinion?" Leon put down the list, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair, revealing a smile: "Most of the servant families on this list have comparable strengths. If I make a personal decision, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble or internal imbalances. Therefore, the best way is to transfo

    Silence, a deathly silence. Everyone present was trembling with fear. Especially the words spoken by Leon, each one struck at the heart. What should be done? Should the investigation into the accounts continue? These simple questions rendered Leon's tactics in full display, leaving no one with the courage to answer! And this silence, along with Leon's gaze, was even more terrifying. One minute, two minutes, three minutes. Time passed by, and the fear only grew stronger. It lasted for a full five minutes before Someone couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy. "Young master, spare us!" "We beg of you, please don't continue the investigation!" "As long as you give us a chance, We will swear to serve you faithfully and fulfill our duties as your servants!" The scene was shocking, with the sound of begging for mercy ringing in everyone's ears. Ada's Lewis stood beside Leon, witnessing everything with a calm exterior, but his heart was already in turmoil, completely convinc
