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,

"Mom, you don't have to worry too much about me and Edith. I will arrange everything properly. After you fully recover, we will get our marriage certificate. I know Edith better than anyone else, and I will treat her well."

"Let me tell you, you must not learn from that heartless man in the future, otherwise, don't blame me, your mother, for not giving you face." Edith's face was full of protection for Emerald, and it was obvious that she had already regarded Emerald as her daughter-in-law.

Leon naturally knew about Edith's experiences over the years. If he were to repeat the same mistakes and let Emerald suffers; wouldn't he be no different from that man? So, Leon nodded solemnly, "Mom, you can rest assured!" After leaving the ward, Emerald seemed particularly delighted.

She leaned in close to Leon and whispered, "Leon, today my mother and my uncle kept calling me, and even agreed to our marriage. They didn't even want a dowry. How did you do it?"

"l didn't do anything. Maybe your mother came to her senses on her own." Leon smiled casually. "I don't believe it. I know what kind of person my mother is. There must have been something between you two that caused such a big change in her all of a sudden." Emerald became more and more curious.

"Anyway, as long as the result is good, it's fine. You've been working hard taking care of my mother these past few days. You should go home and rest well tonight," Leon waved his hand, quickly changing the subject and giving Emily an out.

"I'm not that tired, and with all the things you have to do, I have to stay here and help take care of things. So, I'm not planning on going home anytime soon. I even brought clothes Over here, so I can stay here," Emerald exuded the aura of a virtuous wife and mother. Leon couldn't help but be moved. From the beginning until now, Emerald had remained steadfast.

Even with all the opposition, she never chose to give up on their relationship. No matter what the situation, Emerald could take care of things very well. With a wife like her, what more could he ask for? So, Leon's expression became solemn as he took out a bank card and said, "There's twenty billion in there."

"Why are you giving me so much money?" Emerald was suddenly shocked and didn't dare to reach out and take the card.

"It's for our marriage and engagement. It's only natural. I can't give you nothing, so you should keep this money and use it however you want," Leon decisively handed the bank card to Emerald.

"If you're giving me so much money, what about you?" Emerald was very anxious, holding the heavy invisible weight of the twenty billion bank card. "I still have money. Don't worry about me. When you have time, buy some clothes and jewelry to treat yourself.

Because l also want my wife to look good and presentable in the future," Leon gently patted Emerald's back. "I'm not the kind of person who spends money recklessly. I won't spend this money. I'll help you save it and earn interest. When you need it someday, I'll take it out for you," Emerald regained her composure and her expression became very determined.

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Whether or not you use the money doesn't matter," Leon was extremely relieved.

The next day!

Ada's Lewis drove his Rolls-Royce and picked up Leon early, heading straight to the outskirts. On the way to the outskirts, Ada's Lewis introduced that there was also an Arrision family industry in the Cuba suburbs, with an investment of over a hundred billion!

This industry, located in the suburbs, was even more extravagant and was the largest tourist resort in the province, with many projects. It was known as Cuba's holiday destination, attracting a large number of tourists every year, regardless of the season. Before this, Leon had heard about this resort and had always wanted to bring Emerald to see it, but he was always short on funds and never had the chance. Unexpectedly, now he didn't even have to pay and was arranged to stay in the top villa!

In addition, Leon brought the highest person in charge of the Spring Gold Resort, Savage Leif, to Leon and introduced him, "Young Master, this is the highest person in charge of the Spring Gold Resort, Savage Leif!" Leon looked up and took a look at him. He was middle-aged and had a big belly. "Hello, I'm Leon." Leon stood up and gestured with his hand.

"Young Master, you're too polite." Savage Leif was flattered and held on tightly. "How is the current operation of the Spring Gold Resort?" Leon got straight to the point. Sensing Leon's change in expression, Savage Leif didn't dare to be careless and immediately reported, "The current operation is good and the performance has been on the rise. There are almost no competitors in the entire Spring Province, thanks to the fact that Panama is a tourist city and the strong promotion of the Spring Gold Resort."

"Of course, it is also due to the recent expansion plan of the Spring Gold Resort. Many family businesses are interested in taking on this project, with the Zion Group being the most enthusiastic." Ada's Lewis interjected, "Young Master, Adam's family has expressed their apologies and voluntarily gave up the project due to some misunderstandings with you in the past.

That's why the Zion Group had the opportunity." Leon finally understood. No wonder Sophia went to the bank for a loan. It turned out to be for this construction project. It's important to note that taking on construction projects is also profitable, and the most crucial point is that this project can bring the relationship between the Arrision family in Cuba and the Spring Gold Resort closer.

This benefit is immeasurable. Leon asked, "What about the Adam's family?" "Due to some misunderstandings with you in the past, Adam's family apologized afterward and, out of shame, voluntarily gave up their participation in this project. That's why the Zion Group had the opportunity," Ada's Lewis explained with a bow. "I see." Leon nodded thoughtfully.

Savage Leif respectfully bowed and asked, "Young Master, the CEO of Zion Corporation has already arranged to meet with me. She is currently in the vacation area. Would you like to meet her?" Upon hearing this, Leon thought to himself that it was indeed a small world. Wasn't the CEO of Zion Corporation none other than Lambert Sophia?

    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

    They walked out of the villa gate. Sophia felt as if she had been granted a reprieve as if she had just experienced a nightmare. However, the moment they stepped out, Elvis's expression darkened and he slapped Sophia hard across the face in front of all the senior executives of the group. "Dad.." Sophia covered her face with her right hand, tears welling up in her eyes. Elvis's scolded her angrily, his eyes wide with fury. "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Do you know how close we were to not being able to leave just now? Do you know how ruthless the young master is?" Sophia looked pitifully at him and tugged at his sleeve. "It's all my fault this time, Dad. Don't be angry. Anyway, things have come to an end and our Zion Group has come out unscathed, right?" Elvis shook her off and pointed at her nose, scolding her. "Don't try to fool me. If it weren't for the fact that our Zion Group still

    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

    CHAPTER 37

    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
