Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 24

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 served by a dedicated waiter, a group of classmates widened their eyes, as if attending a high society party.

Sophia, dressed in a glamorous dress, arranged for all the classmates to sit down and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming. Let's have a great time and don't be polite with me!" Lathan had a fawning expression on his face as he picked up a glass of red wine and raised it in a toast.

"This construction project is something to be celebrated. As a classmate and General Manager's assistant, let me propose a toast to the General Manager!" Looking around at the scene, Sophia was immediately satisfied, her vanity receiving a huge boost.

However, when she scanned the room, she realized that Leon was nowhere to be seen among the classmates present.

Sophia deliberately raised her Voice, "Why hasn't Leon come yet?" As soon as the words left her mouth, the room fell silent. Lathan adjusted his collar and pretended to say, "Could it be that Leon is still holding a grudge from the past and refuses to come?"

"To be honest, I hope Leon can come. After all, so many years have passed, and I don't want Leon to keep holding onto the past. Everyone should speak their minds face to face," Sophia said with a sigh, her words laced with sarcasm.

Just then, the villa's open door slowly opened, and a person walked in. When everyone saw the person's face, their expressions became even more strange.

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but feel extremely pleased. She thought to herself that Leon dared to come, and she had to humiliate him properly today.

Lathan smiled and took the lead, grabbing Leon's shoulder and saying, "Leon, I'm sorry for what I said in the group chat earlier. I was a bit harsh, but don't take it to heart. Let me drink three Cups as a self-punishment!"

"I think we can skip that," Leon interrupted Lathan's actions directly. Lathan immediately frowned, "In front of so many classmates, don't you even give me this little bit of face?" Sophia said in a strange tone, "Lathan, stop it. Leon is not an ordinary person now. She is the daughter of the chairman of Diva Construction Company, and she is also Leon's girlfriend!" Upon hearing this, the classmates looked at each other in confusion.

Although Diva Construction Company was not a top-tier family, it was still well-known in Cuba as a second-tier power. Lathan's face immediately changed, and he said with a sneer, "Leon, I didn't expect you to be so low-key.

You hooked up with Emerald, a rich and beautiful woman, without telling us, your classmates. But I'm curious, how did you two meet? Can you teach me so l can learn how to live off a woman?" The room erupted in laughter.

Sophia hurriedly raised her hand to quiet the noise and said, "Leon, I know you've been holding a grudge about the past, but since you and | have different lives now, we should learn to let go. At the very least, we are still classmates!" After speaking, Sophia poured a glass of wine and handed it to Leon.

Lathan chimed in, "Yes, we are all classmates." Then, Sophia lifted her glass and handed it to Leon, saying, "But I have heard something about you. Emerald and Freya are engaged, and I'm sure you must be feeling very sad right now, right?" Lathan exaggeratedly exclaimed, "What? Is that true? Leon, you've been... cheated on?" At this moment, the so-called celebration dinner seemed more like a trial.

All eyes were on Leon as if he were a clown. Leon remained calm and unaffected, and replied, "I don't know where you heard this news from, but I can tell you for sure that it's completely false."

"l came here today just to see how happy you all are and how you will behave next." Lathan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that, Leon?" Leon pulled out a chair and sat down leisurely, "Has the Zion Group ever thought that it's not so easy to climb up to such a capital giant without paying a price? Do you think that taking down a construction project represents everything?"

"Leon, don't act like you know everything. The contract has already been signed. Can such a big project change just like that?" Lathan stood beside Sophia, looking imposing. Leon shrugged, "Even if the contract changes, do you think the Zion Group dares to challenge the other party? Or do you think the Zion Group dares to demand compensation for breach of contract? l guess in the end, you won't even dare to fart." Sophia put the red wine on the table and didn't bother to hide anymore, "Leon, who do you think you are to make such assertions here?"

"Do you think I invited you here as a gesture of goodwill? If you think that way, then you are completely wrong. I just want to tell you face-to-face about the gap between you and me!" Leon smiled instead of getting angry, "That's why I said before that you are ignorant and foolish." Lathan snorted coldly.

"Leon, you are shameless. Do you know who you are talking to?" Leon remained calm, "Of course l know, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here watching your performance." Sophia couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Leon, at this point, you still have this attitude. It seems that if l don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know what regret is!" Leon leaned back on the chair, picked up the red wine on the table, shook it a few times, and then took a leisurely sip.

"I warned you earlier not to be too happy too soon. It seems that your mind still hasn't opened up." "Do you remember what kind of state you were in front of me this morning?" "Do you know that the construction project of the Spring Gold Resort was given to you by me as a gift!"
