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

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.

    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.

    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
