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 unison.

Emily looked up with tears streaming down her face and saw the face of the person who spoke. She felt like she had been saved and cried out, "Leon, please save me. I'm about to be beaten to death." Lex also cried out in misery, "Leon, you finally came. Please help us." Leon looked around and saw the miserable appearance of the two.

Although he looked serious on the surface, he couldn't help but feel amused inside. However, at this critical moment, the two were the key points that Leon used. So he immediately stepped forward and thundered, "Who allowed you to use violence?"

Avril looked surprised, "How did Leon come here?" Ada's Lewis stepped forward, "Of course, They informed the young master to come." In an instant, Adeline's pupils contracted, and she angrily cursed, "It was you who informed him?" Leon said in a deep voice,

"For such a big matter, how could Ada's Lewis not inform me? I never expected that you would be so despicable. I just want to ask, whose idea was this?"

"It was my idea, so what?" Adeline glared at him, exuding an imposing aura. Just when everyone thought that Leon would express his dissatisfaction more tactfully, the scene that followed plunged everyone present into silence. Leon lifted his hand without any hesitation and slapped Adeline hard, knocking her off the chair.

Snap!

The sound of the slap echoed throughout the room. Adeline fell to the ground, stunned by the unexpected blow. Avril stiffened, involuntarily recalling the scenes from last night in the hotel, her scalp tingling.

The most shocked were Emily and his sister. At this moment, Emily was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected Leon to be so domineering that he would not hesitate to knock down Adeline, who was not only the legitimate wife of the Arrision family but also Leon's elder in name. This momentum stunned everyone!

This silence lasted for a full minute before Adeline became angry and stood up, shouting, "Leon, you are so bold!" As soon as she stood up, Leon slapped Adeline again.

Snap!

Adeline fell to the ground once more, her eyes wide with disbelief. Avril swallowed her saliva, trembling like a quail, too scared to say anything. She kept her neck tight and shivered all over, thinking to herself that Leon was like a devil. "My mother-in-law came to discuss the marriage proposal today but was inexplicably beaten. As her son-in-law.

This silence lasted for a full minute before Adeline became angry and stood up, shouting, "Leon, you are so bold!" As soon as she stood up, Leon slapped Adeline again.

Snap!

Adeline fell to the ground once more, her eyes wide with disbelief. Avril swallowed her saliva, trembling like a quail, too scared to say anything. She kept her neck tight and shivered all over, thinking to herself that Leon was like a devil. "My mother-in-law came to discuss the marriage proposal today but was inexplicably beaten. As her son-in-law, I will not tolerate this!" Leon spoke firmly and resolutely. Emily gasped, her eyes moistening.

She was moved beyond Words. She never expected that, after so many twists and turns, Leon would still stand up at this critical moment to defend their relationship. It made Emily feel ashamed and embarrassed for her previous actions. Even Lex wished he could find a hole to crawl into. Adeline stood up again and said, "Leon, I am your elder!" Leon ignored her and gave her a third slap in the face!

Adeline fell to the ground again, angry beyond words. She shouted, "How dare you hit your elder! You are committing a heinous crime!" "Elder? What kind of elder are you to me? We have no relationship whatsoever.

All I know is that my mother-in-law was humiliated here today!" Leon emphasized. "They were taking advantage of the situation and asking for a dowry of 2 billion dollars!" Adeline gritted her teeth in anger. "The Arrision family is wealthy and powerful. As the young master of the Arrision family, is my marriage worth less than a mere 2 billion dollars?" Leon stood tall and spoke with a cold gaze.

"The Arrision family has never received such a high dowry before!" Adelines' veins bulged with anger. "That's because that person is not me, not the legitimate eldest son of the Arrision family!" Leon spoke fiercely as he interrupted.

"Arrision family will never agree to such a high dowry." Adeline retorted with anger. "Will not agree? Well, I want to see who dares to disagree!" Leon turned to Ada's Lewis and reached out his hand slowly. Ada's Lewis nodded slightly and immediately handed over the phone. Adeline shuddered and asked, "Who. are you calling?" Leon said straightforwardly, "Who do you think it could be? Besides, I also. want to let him know that you, Adeline, deliberately beat your in-laws, so. that everyone in the Arrision family knows. about your actions!" Seeing this situation, Adeline's face finally changed.

If this matter escalated, no matter what, she would be in the wrong. The prestige of the Arrision family would inevitably be damaged, and Leon would have an opportunity to take advantage of it!

Because ultimately, 2 billion dollars was just a drop in the bucket for the Arrision family. Adeline was just finding an excuse to deal with Emily and his sister on behalf of Avril. Even if Emily didn't mention the dowry today, he would be dealt with for other reasons in the end.

Adeline quickly raised her hand to signal, "Wait, you can't make this call!" Leon said, "This call can be made or not, but you have to apologize to my mother-in-law with a good attitude and compensate for the medical expenses!" Avril stood by and listened with surprise, "Medical expenses?"

"Yes, the medical expenses cannot be less, but if I am not satisfied, I will immediately inform the Arrision family and make your bad behavior known to everyone!" Leon spoke sternly. Adeline was full of grievances and thought that it was better to pay some money than to lose the trust of the people if the news spread to Panama.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "How much do you want for medical expenses?" Leon turned around and looked at Emily. "How much is the dowry again?" "Twenty billion..." Emily's face turned purple with shame.

Then it's twenty billion. Not a penny less. After all, my mother-in-law is a wealthy woman. If anything were to happen to her, I must take responsibility as her son-in-law. Just transfer it to my bank account." Leon's words caused a stir in the room. Emily's mind was buzzing and she felt flustered. Adeline's eyes bulged as if struck by lightning!

    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

"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

    In the face of the ridicule before him, Leon remained calm and composed throughout. But when he spoke, he shocked the entire room in an instant. Sophia's whole body tensed up, her heart suddenly gripped as if struck by a thunderbolt. "You mean to say..." she stammered. "This is impossible!" exclaimed another. "How could you be the young master of the Arrision's family?" asked a third. "You have no connection to him whatsoever!" Sophia's throat trembled, and she lost all her momentum. She couldn't stop backing away, her face drained of color. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Lathan quickly stepped forward to support Sophia and said confidently, "Miss Sophia, the young master of the Arrision family is a person of great status and prestige. How could he be mentioned in the same breath as someone like Leon? This guy is just bragging." Hearing this explanation, Sophia calmed down a bit and nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Lathan is right. Leon, you've gone too far

    This classmate's celebration banquet ended unhappily. Sophia was so terrified that she couldn't do anything about it. No matter how she asked Savage Leif for help, she still couldn't do anything. Gritting her teeth, Savage Leif had no choice but to run to the door of Villa No. 1 and try to ring the doorbell. As a result, Arrision Leon was inside and didn't respond at all, leaving Sophia outside the door. "It's over, it's over!" "My dad has to come over in person tomorrow. If he wants to know about this, how should I explain it?" "The most important thing is that Leon's current attitude is completely unclear, and he may cancel the contract any minute!" Sophia was so frightened that she didn't dare to inform the Zion Group, nor did she dare to leave without permission. She could only guard outside the gate of Villa No. 1 and keep sending messages to Leon. And these messages have changed their previous attitude, apologizing, admitting mistakes, regretting, and begging! It's

    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
