Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 12

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 daughter? If this were to be spread, it would be a laughing stock. If you want Emerald to marry me, you shouldn't care about these things at all."

Upon hearing this, Emerald was greatly pleased and secretly admired Leon's brilliant counterattack! Emily was choked with anger by his words and couldn't say a word.

The many relatives present all looked strange. Lex couldn't help but get angry and scolded, "Leon you're going too far. If you don't give the dowry, you can forget about marrying Emerald, I'm telling you!"

Leon said, "Whether Emerald wants to marry me or not is her own business. It has nothing to do with you. I just came to inform you of my proposal today. I will marry her, and no one can stop me," Emily couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and slammed her hand on the table, standing up angrily and staring at Leon.

"You don't even put me, your future mother-in-law, in your eyes!" Leon remained calm and composed, with no change in his expression as he calmly replied: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning, I'm not a fool.

I gave you so much money for marrying Emerald, not marrying into your family Emily shouted in anger: "You, Leon, have grown some backbone now and don't even look at people with respect. If you don't agree today, make a scene and let everyone know how stingy the Arrison family in Panama is!"

"If you have the guts, go ahead and make a scene. I want to see if you can stir up trouble when it comes to matters involving the Arrison family in Panama. And who can bear the consequences of making a scene?" Leon's pupils contracted, his gaze suddenly turning cold.

Lex cursed in frustration: "You little brat, I think you're doing this on purpose. You're not giving us face today and want to embarrass us in front of our relatives!"

Leon nodded and even praised them bluntly: "That's right, I'm doing this on purpose. If I didn't, how could you show your true colors? But I didn't expect you to lose your cool so quickly. If you had persisted a little longer and put on a better show, maybe I would have agreed."

Emily held her breath and asked: "What do you mean." "The acquisition plan has not been canceled. I was just testing you earlier, including the part about not giving a dowry. It was just talk. Who knows you would turn your back on me so quickly? Since that's the case, you have to do as I said originally!" Leon suddenly made a shocking statement.

Emily and Lex were both stunned. The relatives present couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Emily, Leon was trying to treat you sincerely, but you had to do this. Now look what you've done?" "And the ten billion dowry, Emily, you dare to say that!"

"Leon is a true aristocrat. According to reason, it's you who are climbing the social ladder. How can you act so entitled? If it were me, I wouldn't even want a penny of dowry!" Under the ridicule of everyone, the two of them were left with their faces in the dirt, like rats crossing the street.

Emerald sighed, "Mom, Uncle, why do you have to do this? Things have become so embarrassing and there's no way to end it because of you." "I've told you before, don't judge people based on money, but you just wouldn't listen. All you think about is how to gain benefits."

"I'm with Leon, and I never cared about his money. As long as he has the right intentions, I can marry him unconditionally." Emily shuddered and hastily spoke up, "Leon, this is a misunderstanding."

"Another misunderstanding?" Leon laughed. Lex instantly backed down and said, "This is a misunderstanding, We didn't have the right attitude earlier regarding the dowry issue. We discuss it again. As long as you're happy, we can forget about the dowry!"

"Yes, yes, we don't need the dowry. As long as you and Emerald are happy, we'll be satisfied." Emily's heart was tight, afraid that they wouldn't gain anything in the end and that their relationship with Leon would be completely ruined.

Seeing this, Leon coldly responded, "It's ridiculous how you're pretending to be kind. If you weren't Emerald's elders and there weren't so many people watching, I wouldn't even want to give you any face."

"Now, don't even think about getting a penny from me, including the acquisition plan. As soon as I leave this door, I'll immediately notify Ada's Lewis to cancel it!" Upon hearing this decision, Emily regretted it and her face turned pale.

Ignoring the embarrassment in front of relatives, Emily immediately burst into tears, "Leon, we knew we were wrong, Anyway, I'm Emerald's mother, you can't treat me like this."

Leon's face was as cold as ice, and he said without hesitation, "How I treat you depends on how you treat me. Do you remember how you acted superior to me in the company and how I begged you for a chance?" Emily gasped for cold air and finally remembered the scenes in the company before.

Emerald wasn't present at the time and didn't know the specifics. Leon was begging on his knees!

Does this mean that Leon wants her to kneel and beg for forgiveness before he can forgive everything?

"You." Emily's mind was buzzing, unable to believe that it would develop to this point. As a mother-in-law, she had to kneel to her son-in-law. At this moment, Emily's scalp was numb.
