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

    "Leon, are you crazy? Do you know how big of an impact this will have? 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. Don't try to flatter yourself, I don't like you.""l didn't say it was about that. You're so eager to answer, are you trying to cover up something?" Leon narrowed his eyes."I'm talking to you about seriousmatters, why are you bringing up thesethings? Can't you take it seriously? Aslong as Leo is alive, he will alwaysbe pressing down on you!"

    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
