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 nothing in front of him, not even a dog." Avril was humiliated and furious.

"Regardless, Leon is still the young master, and he has the qualifications to be so. But don't worry, I came to Cuba this time to deal with him. Since he's shown his attitude in this way, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Adeline's face grew cold. "Mom, how are you going to deal with Leon?" Avril's eyes grew urgent.

"isn't Edith still in Cuba? That slut is said to be seriously ill and unable to move in the hospital. I'll go after her, and Leon will have to kneel and beg for mercy in front of me." Adeline sneered. In the struggle for power and influence among the aristocratic families, there was never any mercy.

Especially for such a behemoth, once you step into it, the only outcome for the loser is death!

At this moment, Ada's Lewis walked in from outside. As soon as she saw Ada's Lewis, Adeline slammed the table and sternly rebuked him, "Ada's Lewis, you simply don't know how to live or die. How dare you come here to see me?" "I beg for your forgiveness, Madam. I didn't want this to happen, but Leon is still the young master. How could I intervene forcefully? Besides, in the end, Miss was fine, wasn't she?" Ada's Lewis bowed with his hands clasped together. Avril glared at him and asked angrily, "Is this considered fine? Look at my face, what has it become?"

"Miss, every time you see the young master, you call him by his nickname, which is unbearable for anyone. Let's just take this as a lesson. If it gets worse, it won't do any good. Also, I came here this time to inform Madam of something." Ada's Lewis reported.

"Speak!" Adeline's face darkened. Ada's Lewis explained, "Leon has already had a wedding in Cuba, but the elders on both sides have not met yet. Moreover, Edith is seriously ill, which makes it even more inconvenient.

Therefore, the elders on the woman's side hope to meet with the elders on the Arrision family's side." Avril immediately agreed, "l was just worried about not having a place to vent my anger. The people on Leon's side have come so quickly? That's great. My mother represents the Arrision family and is also Leon's elder!" Adeline raised her hand and suddenly interrupted Avril.

She then stared at Ada's Lewis with suspicion and asked in a strange tone, "Ada's Lewis, I want to ask you, whose side are you on now?"

"Madam, you are overthinking things. I am naturally on your side. Miss has suffered humiliation, and I am deeply dissatisfied. This is a good opportunity that has come to us, and I will arrange it for you as soon as possible. Miss needs to vent her anger properly." Ada's Lewis answered without a hitch, secretly thinking that the young master was extremely clever and Adeline would be taken advantage of later. Adeline narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Do Leon and the elders on the woman's side know about the meeting?"

"Ada's Lewis didn't bat an eye and said, "Leon naturally knows nothing about it. Because there are some significant conflicts between Leon and the elders on the woman's side, and all the elders on the woman's side are money-minded people." "So this time, the other party deliberately avoided Leon and specifically came to me for arrangements. In other words, they just want to make money off of the Arrision family," said Ada's Lewis.

Avril couldn't wait to respond, "Ada's Lewis, you've done well this time. I won't hold it against you for today's events." Adeline waved her sleeve and said, "As the young master, Leon's marriage is a major event for the Aarrison family. The more the bride's elders demand, the more it damages Leon's image and the family's reputation. For me, this is a good thing. Let's arrange it quickly."

"Yes!" Ada's Lewis nodded solemnly and left. After leaving Adeline's residence, Ada's Lewis didn't hesitate and called Leon first let him know that everything was arranged and then called Emily.

Upon receiving Ada's Lewis notification, Emily was overjoyed and felt extremely proud. Especially Lex, who laughed uncontrollably, "Sis, we're going to make a fortune this time!" Emily smiled brightly and said with excitement, Leon thought that we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He should know that he's just a junior in the Arrision family and that marriage matters are ultimately decided by the elders!"

"Hahaha, whether or not Leon knows, we'll succeed in the end. We'll be able to put the money in our pockets," Lex laughed heartily as if he had finally gotten the upper hand. "I just don't know which elder of the Arrision's family Ada's Lewis arranged," Emily said thoughtfully.

Lex confidently praised, "As long as they're from the Arrision family, it doesn't matter. Leon is stingy and doesn't represent the entire Arrision family. With such a big family, we have to show some grandeur. The dowry might even double. As long as we get the money, it's worth it. I can already imagine the look on Leon's face when he's frustrated!" Little did they know, a violent storm was brewing.

    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

    In this situation, no matter how hard Adeline tried, she couldn't have imagined that Leon would set her up. And from beginning to end, Ada's Lewis was acting on purpose, setting a trap for her to fall into. She had even been slapped three times, which was a great humiliation. Especially since Leon was well-prepared, this time she was in the wrong. If she refused to compromise, the one who would ultimately suffer would be herself. Otherwise, Leon might make a big deal out of this matter within the Arrision family. "I was too impulsive this time and accidentally hurt my in-law. I apologize here." Adeline looked frustrated, cursing Leon in her heart countless times. Upon hearing this apology, Emily and Lex were completely speechless, shocked to the point where their jaws almost dropped to the ground. Leon calmly spoke up, "What about the medical expenses?" Adeline's mouth twitched, wishing she could tear Leon into pieces. She cursed Leon for being a true lion with a big mouth. T

    "Leon, l advise you not to daydream about the toad eating swan meat." "With your background, it's foolish to try to climb the high branches." "The engagement between Emerald and Freya is a done deal, and both families are joining forces. It's not something anyone can stop. And who knows, maybe Emerald is just playing with you." High Sophia's sarcastic tone was not disguised."Fool." Leon couldn't be bothered to pay attention and was about to go in. "Who are you calling a fool?" High Sophia glared and immediately blocked his way. "You're ignorant and foolish if you think this is fun." Leon raised his eyebrows."You're asking for it!" High Sophia couldn't control her anger and was about to slap Leon. Leon easily caught High Sophia's wrist and said with a smile, "Miss Lambert, this is a public place, not where you can act recklessly. Even if you want to, you should find a place with no one around to avoid embarrassing the Lambert family." "I, Lambert Sophia, will deal with you, a wast

    After finishing all his business at the bank, it was already afternoon when Leon left. Feeling good, he bought some nutritional supplements around and drove back to the clinic. As soon as he entered the ward, he saw Emerald busy at work. As for Edith, she had recovered quite well and looked much better than yesterday. Seeing Leon coming back from outside, Edith waved her hand and called him to her bedside. With a smile on her face, she put Leon's and Emerald's hands together and said, "Thanks to God, I survived this time. If possible, I hope you two can get married soon, So that l can hold my grandchild as soon as possible." "Auntie, you haven't fully recovered yet, let's not rush it." Emerald blushed shyly. Edith's eyes were very serious as she emphasized, "We can't afford to wait any longer. I dream of seeing Leon, this little rascal, get married soon. You are such a virtuous girl, and as a mother, I naturally have to hurry up and urge you to get married!" Leon smiled, "

    Lambert Sophia was nervous and apprehensive. The development project of Emerald Resort was the top priority for Zion's Group. If they could seize the opportunity and win the project, they would be able to impress the Arrision family in Cuba and establish a closer relationship with them, gaining more project resources to help the long-term development of Zion's Group. Zion's Group had made sufficient preparations for the project, including the process of bank loans, which had already been approved quickly. They were just waiting for the approval of the person in charge of Spring Gold Resort. At this moment, Savage Leif walked out of Villa No.1. When Lambert Sophia saw Savage Leif, she immediately became tense and respectfully approached him. "Mr. Savage!" "l am here on behalf of Zion's Group to discuss the project with you." "Zion's Group hopes to finalize this project completely today." Savage Leif nodded slightly, looking very serious, and said, "I cannot make the final de

    On that day, Leon stayed at Spring Gold Resort while Ada's Lewis rushed to the city due to some unexpected matters. Just when Leon was about to sit down and enjoy himself, his phone kept vibrating. He was surprised to see that it was a group chat with his college classmates, who were all excitedly congratulating Sophia for successfully securing the project at Spring Gold Resort. They praised her for being the most capable among their classmates and for the reputation of the Zion's Group. Sophia even suggested celebrating the occasion by inviting all of their classmates to a banquet at the resort. Leon couldn't help but smile at the flattery and Sophia's tendency to show off, which she had not changed over the years. However, just as Leon was about to close his phone, Sophia suddenly mentioned him in the group chat and sent him a voice message, inviting him to the celebration banquet that evening at Spring Gold Resort. Leon raised his eyebrows and had no intention of respond

    Night falls! The entire Spring Gold resort, illuminated by the night, appears dazzling and colorful. At this moment, Sophia's celebration banquet is also in full swing. For this celebration, Sophia spent a lot of money and specifically booked Villa No. 10 in Spring Gold Resort! Spring Gold Resort has a hundred villas, all arranged according to the house number sequence. The higher the house number, the better the view and the more expensive the price. For example, Sophia's Villa No. 10 costs a staggering 150,000 dollars per night, which is not affordable for ordinary people who can only stay in hotel rooms in the resort. Many classmates arrived at Villa No. 10 one after another and were amazed by the luxury. "It must cost a lot to stay here for one night, right?" "Sophia is rich, or else she wouldn't have invited us all here." "Sophia's vision is extraordinary!" For a moment, the villa was filled with praise. Especially when the expensive champagne and red wine were serv

    That night, Adelins returned to her residence and immediately flew into a rage. "Avril, you useless thing!" "Why did you have to plead with Leon? You have completely embarrassed me." "Most importantly, Leon was just teasing us, and you believed him!" Avril shrunk her neck and cowered like a quail, getting scolded so badly that she didn't dare to argue back. Seeing Avril's appearance, Adeline became even more furious. She wanted to hit her, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she stomped her foot and transferred all her anger onto Leon, continuing to curse him out. "It's all because of that wild bastard Leon. If he didn't exist, we wouldn't have SO much trouble!" For Adeline, the situation had become extremely unfavorable. The reason was simple. Although Audrey, was ashamed and angry about the matter, she didn't outright refuse. This was a subtle move, and there might still be room for negotiation. Who knows, Audrey might even end up falling in love with Leon. Aft

    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
