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 today. You dared to impersonate the young master of the Arrision family just to show off in front of me. Do you have any idea what kind of Consequences you'll face for offending the Arrision's family?" The other students present saw the situation and couldn't help but think that Sophia's words made sense.

As university classmates, they knew each other's backgrounds very well, and Leon's was no exception.

Although most of them didn't know much about the Arrision family in Cuba, they could tell from the introduction that it was a truly powerful and influential family. It was impossible for such a family to have any connection with Leon, let alone a so-called young master.

However, before Sophia could continue with her scathing insults, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly strode in. It was none other than the top executive of the Spring Gold Resort, Savage Leif!

Savage's arrival immediately caused everyone in the room to become tense and uneasy. Sophia's heart leaped with joy as she quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Savage, you've arrived just in time!" Lathan assumed a posture as if he were about to beat a drowning dog, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Someone is impersonating the Arrision's family of Leif and swindling people here in Spring Gold Resort!" Savage furrowed his brows and stared at the two of them with a strange expression.

Then, in front of everyone, he walked straight to Leon's side and said solemnly, "What nonsense are you talking about? The person sitting in front of you is the real young master of the Arrision family!" The entire villa trembled as if there had been an earthquake.

All the students present were frightened and stood up, their faces turning pale. Lathan's eyes bulged out like lightning, and his scalp exploded. Sophia's expression was priceless as she stammered, "Young master?" "Sophia, I can't help you this time. You've offended the young master!'" Savage Leif's expression was stern and serious.

Thud!

Sophia's legs went weak, and she collapsed on the ground. It was important to note that the construction project was of utmost importance to the Zion Group. If anything went wrong, it would be a severe blow to the company, even potentially catastrophic.

Offending the young master of the Arrision family was not a good idea. To put it bluntly, with just a word from the Arrision family's young master, the Zion Corporation could go bankrupt in minutes, even to the point of ruin!

And Sophia would become the Scapegoat for the entire Zion Corporation!

In that moment, fear overwhelmed Sophia, She was completely suffocated and couldn't say a word. Lathan's face was extremely embarrassed and he was trembling with fear. He even knelt in front of everyone.

Lathan trembled as he spoke, "Leon, I didn't know your identity beforehand. I didn't mean it. Please don't hold it against me for the sake of our classmates. Please let me go like a fart."

"You didn't know my identity beforehand, so you could act recklessly? And you're talking about the sake of our classmates? I wonder how many people here actually consider me, Leon, a classmate. It's ridiculous," Leon shook her head coldly.

Lathan immediately began to shift the blame and begged for mercy, "Young Master Leon, I won't do it again. Please spare me. I'm just Sophia's assistant and I have to go along with her. She's the real culprit. If you want to settle the score, go find her!"

"You, Lathan!" Sophia was almost furious. Lathan turned on her in an instant, slapping her twice and scolding her, "Sophia, this is all your fault. If it weren't for you showing off and humiliating people in front of our classmates, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"It's all because you have no eyes. I'm the one who's been implicated by you. Now, I'm representing Young Master Leon and giving you two slaps in return." These two slaps left Sophia stunned. The entire audience of students was also dumbfounded by this dog-eat-dog scene. Sophia regained her composure and couldn't help but be angry,

"Lathan, you bastard, you're fired!"

"If I'm fired, I'm fired. The Zion Corporation is probably going to be finished this time. There's no point in me staying. As long as Young Master Leon can forgive my mistake, what does it matter if I'm fired?" Lathan turned around and began to flatter, truly a turncoat.

Leon cast a cold glance at Lathan and immediately waved his hand, "l don't want to see this person again." Lathan was so scared that he begged, "Leon, Maxwell, we are classmates."

"Come in!" Savage Leif didn't hesitate and immediately signaled for someone to come in and drag the crying and screaming Lathan out. A moment later, there was a sound like a pig being slaughtered, and then silence.

At this moment, Sophia finally staggered to her feet, trembling all over, with cold sweat on her forehead and back. Leon finished the red wine in his cup, then got up from his chair and looked meaningfully at Sophia for ten seconds. His silence was so intimidating that it left her feeling fearful.

He didn't say a word and just turned and left. Watching Leon walk out the door and head towards the most prestigious villa, Sophia's mood fell into an endless abyss of regret. Even at this moment, Sophia still couldn't believe that Leon and Maxwell were the same person!

What was most unacceptable to Sophia was her identity as his ex-girlfriend. If she had discovered this earlier and taken advantage of the opportunity, the Zion Group would have already achieved great success!

It was finally at this moment that Sophia realized that the engagement between Emerald and Freya was impossible. How could Adam's family, a servant family, have the courage to defy their masters' wishes? Sophia grabbed Savage Leif's hand and burst into tears.

"Mr. Savage, you have to help me!"

"If my dad finds out, he'll kill me!"

    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

    The incident in Cuba has been reported to Panama through Ariana. The old lady in Cuba was furious upon hearing about it. Listening to the description on the phone, Leon couldn't help but find it extremely ridiculous. After being abandoned for more than 20 years and relying on each other for survival, he had gone through hardships. And now, instead of Leon being angry, some people were getting angry. This was simply a huge joke! "Must I, Leon, always follow others' wishes and do things according to their orders?" Leon held the phone, and the cold light in his eyes became even stronger in an instant. The voice on the other end of the phone urged, "I am doing this for your good. You must perform well in front of your grandmother. Only by gaining her approval can your position in the Arrision family be truly solidified in the future." "I don't think you are doing this for my good. You are only doing this because there is no one else to take over, and Avril is incapable of sho

    Meanwhile, at the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce. Before Leon's arrival, many servants had already gathered. Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce had been established for many years and held immense commercial resources and power. The servants all benefited from the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce and were prominent figures in society. Among them, the leading family was the Avalon Abel Family. As the maternal family of the old lady, the Avalon Abel Family held a unique position in the Chamber of Commerce. The head of the Abel Family even held the position of vice president, possessing great authority. Before Leon's arrival, the position of president had been vacant for years, and the Abel Family head had controlled the Chamber of Commerce, allocating project resources and assigning them to servant families one by one, further elevating the status of the Abel Family head. However, now that Leon had arrived and directly assumed the position of president, it was undou

    For a moment, the entire Chamber of Commerce was shocked. It was well-known that Maurice held an unparalleled position in the business World. The Abel family's power in the entire Spring Province was unrivaled and unshakeable. Moreover, Maurice was a towering figure in the business world of the province, with countless dignitaries and officials seeking his favor in private. Everyone had expected that Leon Would be more restrained when he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. However, to their surprise, he spoke out boldly and acted so aggressively upon their first meeting. This scene was truly unexpected. Standing in the corner of the crowd, Godfrey couldn't help but feel nervous and sweaty in his palms. He thought that Leon's behavior was a bit too radical. Even if he had to do something, he shouldn't have spoken so bluntly and completely ruined their relationship. Otherwise, it would be extremely detrimental to his future position in the Chamber of Commerce. Godfrey mutte

    As Maurice fell to the ground, Leon turned around and sat in the main seat, facing everyone. The entire chamber was silent, and the servants were frightened and panicked. Maurice was in pain and twisted his facial features, leaning on his crutch and trying to stand up, but couldn't help becoming angry before he could speak. However, before Maurice could start cursing, Leon sat in the main seat and raised his hand to point to Godfrey, who was in the corner, saying, "I don't want to do everything myself, so from now on, I'll let you, Godfrey, take over for me." Godfrey's body tightened, and he was instantly suffocated. Leon waved his hand and said, "This is an order!" Godfrey's scalp went numb, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, quickly moving forward. Maurice was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Leon, what do you mean by this?" Leon's expression was stern as he gestured, "I've already made myself clear. I don't mind taking drastic measures. Today, I, Leo

    Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

    "What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

    With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

    That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    "Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

    With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

    Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh

    "Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

    "Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr
