"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 waste, and I need to choose a place. You're overestimating yourself!"' High Sophia was furious, her eyes like bells. Just then, a bank executive in his thirties came out, wearing a deputy director's badge on his chest, and asked, "Miss Lambert, what happened?"

"Vice President Larry, this guy took advantage of me and grabbed my hand, harassing me in public!" High Sophia immediately started to shift the blame. "Please rest assured, Miss Lambert. As one of the largest partners of our Cuba Bank, the Zion Group, if anyone dares to mess with you here, I can't sit idly by!" Larry's brow furrowed instantly, and he waved his hand to call a few bank security guards.

"One of the largest partners? I'm curious, how big is it?" Leon smiled instead of getting angry. Lambert Sophia's face was full of pride as she said, "Just this year's cooperative business alone has reached a total of one billion, and the profits are not small. Just now, as the CEO of Zion's Group, I signed a contract with Cuba Bank for five hundred million!"

"I'll be frank with you. With such a big business here, the bank's people have to look at my face. Believe it or not, I can kick you out in a minute?" Leon's tone changed slightly as he asked, "This five hundred million, is it a loan?" This question made Sophia's expression immediately strange.

Although the Lambert family was indeed a first-line family, their funds had almost all been invested in projects recently. Sophia's visit to the bank this time was indeed to represent the Lambert family in taking out a loan.

Otherwise, if the funds were cut off, the Consequences would be serious. Sophia sneered and confidently said, "So what if it's a loan? The Lambert family can pay it back, and besides, you have to have the ability and the means to be able to loan out five hundred million!" Perhaps Sophia's voice was too loud, causing the customers in the bank lobby to all look at her.

Especially the number five hundred million, which shocked everyone. Larry noticed the changes around him and sternly said, "Sir, I advise you to leave immediately and not to affect the normal order of the bank." "I'm here to do business too. Even if you're the deputy director, you don't

have the right to just kick me out. Besides, I'm not like Sophia.

She's here to take out a loan, but I'm here to deposit money!" Leon suddenly said something shocking. Sophia sneered, "Deposit money? How much money do you have?" Larry pointed to the ATM outside and said, "There's an ATM outside where you can handle small deposits." Leon remained calm and took out the check he had originally brought, "I'm here for a check cashing and transfer business, which can't be handled by

the ATM."

"You still have a check?" Sophia was a little surprised. Larry slightly eased his expression and took the check to look at it. When Larry saw the number on the check, he immediately froze. As a bank executive, he was very clear about the concepts of cash flow and checks. For example, although the Zion Group appeared to be huge on the outside, in reality, the vast majority of it was fixed assets.

The available liquid funds were at most two or three hundred million, which was not enough and required borrowing from the bank. But the face in front of him had just taken out a check for one billion!

What kind of concept was this? "'Sir, there has been a misunderstanding. To show our apologies, please follow me to the VIP room and take a seat. I will personally handle this for you," Larry held his breath and quickly changed his attitude, faster than a magic trick. Sophia stomped her feet in anger, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Vice President Larry, what are you doing? How much money can Leon have?" Larry coughed a few times and explained with a dignified expression, "Mr. Leon's check is worth one billion!"

Wow!

The entire bank lobby suddenly shook. All the customers were shocked. "You said Leon came here to deposit a check worth one billion? Where did he get so much money? Is the check fake?" Sophia's mouth twitched, feeling incredulous.

"Do you think I would bring a fake check to the bank for business?" Leon smiled and shook his head. Sophia was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "This must be Emerald's breakup f*e for you!" Leon responded directly," Emerald and Lare are very good, and we are getting married soon. The so-called Freya's marriage is purely fictitious.

Besides, have you ever seen anyone break up and give so much money to the other party? It's not like it was blown in by the wind." Sophia was speechless, her face turning ashen.

Larry, seeing this, ignored her question and immediately bent down and reached out to Leon gesturing, "Mr. Leon, please come inside. Let's talk in there!" "Just a moment, this check is just one part of the business. I have another check here!" Leon spoke and pulled out another check from his pocket. In an instant, the bank fell silent, all eyes fixed on the amount written on the check.

Larry was suffocating like never before, almost unable to stand, sweating profusely. Sophia was shocked, her mind blank, as if struck by a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard. "How is this possible? It's a check for twenty billion.."

That's a full twenty billion!

Combined with the previous check, it's a staggering twenty-one billion. This terrifying number is enough to directly acquire more than half of the shares of the Zion Group, and have absolute control!!

At this moment, Sophia's mood was as if she had fallen into an ice cave. On the other hand, Leon was calm and composed, with a smile tinged with a hint of apology, saying, "Miss Lambert, I'm sorry to have frightened you."

    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

    For the sake of this construction project, the Zion Group had spared no effort and was on a hot streak. However, the sudden change in the contract was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Zion Group. Once this news got out, the entire Zion Group would become the biggest laughingstock in Cuba. "Sofia, what are you still standing there for?" "Are you happy only when I'm in a hurry?" "Is there a misunderstanding between you and the young master? You'd better be honest and explain it clearly." Elvis was anxious, his face full of anxiety. Under such circumstances, Sofia finally couldn't bear it anymore. Her legs bent, and she fell to the ground with a thump, telling the whole story of the incident. Upon hearing what happened last night, Elvis was furious and cursed, You bastard, how could you do such a ridiculous thing? The young master had already hinted at you before, and you couldn't fail to recognize it. "As a result, you were so stupid that you didn't understand that the young m

    Why should I consult with others when I, Leon, make decisions? "The project in Spring Gold Resort doesn't require such a fuss," said Ariana, sitting upright with an imposing air. "It should be straightforward and handed over to the Zion Group for management." "| wonder who came up with such a ridiculous idea!" she continued, her tone full of indignation. Elvis and Sophia exchanged a strange look but remained silent. "Of course, it was my idea," Leon said, looking around at everyone before calmly picking up his teacup. Ariana slammed the table in anger. "Leon, you are only the young master. You cannot make decisions about the development of the Arrision family's businesses. Even if you want to pave the way for Emerald, you should discuss it with your elders instead of acting recklessly here!" Seeing this, Elvis felt a sense of relief. Ariana was indeed the legitimate wife of the Arrision family, and her attitude was tough. She didn't give Leon any face at all! At this criti

    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
