Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 18

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!
