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

    Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

    "What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

    With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

    That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    "Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

    With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

    Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh

    "Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

    "Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr
