Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 25

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!"
