Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 23

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 responding.

Unfortunately, a sycophant immediately jumped in, reminding everyone that Leon had been publicly rejected by Sophia in the past and that he would be too embarrassed to show up.

The speaker was none other than Lathan, the class monitor in college and also a long-time admirer of Sophia. Now Lathan worked in Zion Company, Zion Corporation, as the assistant to the CEO.

Whenever Sophia won a project, Lathan would announce it in the group chat, a typical sycophant. Sophia said, "Leon, don't be silent. I know you're reading the group messages. Weren't you very arrogant before? Now that I've won the project for Spring Gold Resort, I want to see what you can do to challenge me!"

"Spring Gold Resort has a capital giant behind it. This construction project was won solely by CEO Sophia's efforts, and she even met with the big wigs of the capital giant. It's not a small matter," Lathan echoed.

The group chat was shocked, and chaos ensued. Leon typed a simple message: "Didn't I tell you not to be too happy too soon?" Seeing Leon's response, Lathan immediately started mocking him in the group chat, like a mad dog barking in a strange tone. Only Sophia, in her office, looked Somewhat strange.

"Don't be too happy too soon?"

"Why do l feel like I've heard this before?" "Oh, I remember. This is what Young Master Leon said. Could it be..." Sophia trembled all over, almost dropping her phone, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head vigorously, thinking to herself, "How is this possible? What is Leon's background? As his college classmate and ex-girlfriend, I know him better than anyone else!" The Arrision family in Panama was the first aristocratic family in Katava, an invincible giant.

There was no connection between the two. Sophia slapped her head. "What's wrong with my brain these days? Why do I keep confusing these two people? Young Master Leon has such a distinguished background. How could he be compared to that useless Leon?" So, Sophia put aside her thoughts and sent a voice message to the group again.

"Leon, this time, I'm inviting you with great sincerity. As classmates, you should at least come and show your face.

Our past is already behind us. If you don't come, everyone will think you can't let go of me!" She said it with such self-righteousness.

Leon replied with a meaningful tone, "It seems like I need to reconsider." Lathan relentlessly mocked, "What do you need to reconsider? Whether to Come or not?"

"Lathan, what are you doing? We're all classmates. Leon's coming is a matter of goodwill. How can you speak like that?" Sophia immediately rebuked insincerely in the group.

"Sophia, you're right. Leon, I'm sorry if l hurt your self-esteem with my words. I apologize here and will drink three cups as punishment when you come to the celebration banquet." Lathan spoke with a fake tone and strange words. Leon didn't bother to continue the conversation and instead informed Savage Leif to come over. "Young master, what are your orders?" Savage Leif bowed his head and didn't dare to be negligent.

Leon straightforwardly said, "We need to modify the contract with Zion Group. We demand that Zion Group fully support Diva Construction Company to complete the development project of Spring Gold Resort. If Zion Group is unwilling, we can cancel the contract." Upon hearing this order, Spring Gold was also stunned.

"Why?" Leon raised his eyebrows. Savage Leif looked puzzled, "Young master, why do we need to modify the contract all of a sudden? And if we do this, isn't Zion Group just working for Diva Construction Company for free?" Leon explained," Diva Construction Company lacks the necessary strength to handle such a large project. Zion Group just wants to get closer to us, and cooperation is secondary."

"So asking the Zion Group to help the Diva Construction Company is the best choice, and that's why I agreed first and then made modifications," said Leon.

"At this point, the Zion Group has no turning back and can only grit their teeth and swallow the bitter pill," he continued. "After all, the Zion Group has been trying to attach themselves to the Arrision's family and gain more long-term resources from them. But to attach themselves to the Arrision's family, they must pay a price, not just any price." Savage Leif swallowed his saliva, not expecting this turn of events. It seemed that from the beginning, Leon had planned everything out perfectly, including his meeting with Sophia, which was just a show.

The purpose was to drag the Zion Group into the mess and pave the way for the Diva Construction Company, like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey to make the millstone turn faster. If the Zion Group didn't cooperate, it would be a sign of insincerity, and they could forget about any future benefits.

Savage Leif suddenly realized what was going on and was impressed by Leon's foresight. It seemed that the young master had everything under control, and the Zion Group was in for a rude awakening.

"Master, should we inform the Zion Group about the contract modifications now?" Savage Leif asked with reverenced Leon smiled and said, "No rush. Let's wait until tomorrow. After all, I want to give them a taste of honey before the bitter medicine. I'm looking forward to seeing the Zion Group's reaction
