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 has some use, do you think the young master Would spare you? With his power and methods, he doesn't even spare Ariana. What is our Zion Group compared to him?"

"Now that the Zion Group has no way out, to avoid the young master's dissatisfaction, from now on, you will no longer hold any position in the Zion Group and will not be involved in any affairs. You will also not inherit the Zion Group in the future!" Sophia was completely stunned and regretful. If she couldn't inherit the Zion Group in the future, what was the point of her identity as a Lambert family heiress?

"Dad, I am your only daughter. You can't do this to me!" Sophia regained her senses and panicked.

"If I let you continue to stay in the Zion Group or let you inherit the Zion Group in the future, you will never be able to gain the young master's favor. Unless you can make him change his mind about you, otherwise, forget about it." After saying a sentence, Elvis got in the car and left.

Meanwhile, in Villa No.1. Savage Leif was in a joyful mood, constantly praising and admiring his young master.

"You are amazing, young master." "The expression on Adelins face just now was simply wonderful!"

"I have never seen Ariana so frustrated before." Just as Savage Leif was ecstatic, Ada's Lewis suddenly raised his hand with a serious expression, interrupting Savage Leif's words.

"Don't be too happy yet. Although Ariana came from Panama to Cuba, the situation has turned out like this. She will report to the old lady. You should know the position of the Arrision family in Panama," Ada's Lewis said.

Upon hearing the title "old lady," Savage Leif's smile suddenly disappeared. The "old lady" was the most respected elder in the Arrision family in Panama!

In addition, the "old lady" was Leon's grandmother and the mother of the current head of the Arrision family! "The old lady usually doesn't interfere with affairs, but if she steps in, I'm afraid." Savage Leif's face changed slightly.

Ada's Lewis frowned, revealing his Worries. "The most important thing is that the old lady has some opinions about the young master. Ariana is so confident because the old lady is biased against the young master!" For a moment, the two of them became even more anxious.

Leon pressed his hand to calm them down, appearing calm and composed. "Don't worry too much. The Zion Group has already said that they did it willingly. Even if Ariana reports to Panama, it won't be of any use. If things escalate, I can still counter her." Ada's Lewis nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Young Master, what if Old Madam shows favoritism towards Ariana? You know that Old Madam has been quite approving of Ariana for many years." Leon curled his lips and smiled faintly. "Didn't you just say that Ariana has confidence because of my grandmother's prejudice against me?"

"But have you ever thought about why my grandmother, who is biased against me, didn't just get rid of me, or why she didn't come forward and let Leon inherit the family fortune?" Ada's Lewis and Savage Leif suddenly realized and exclaimed in unison. "l understand!"

"It's because Young Master is always the only legitimate grandson under Old Madam's knees!" Leon's pupils contracted, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course, if my grandmother thinks that I will obey her every word, then she is completely wrong. As I said before, I will take everything back in my way!" This so-called grandmother had no emotional attachment to him, and for Leon, she was even more of a stranger than a stranger.

Furthermore, his mother, Edith, had suffered for many years, and if his grandmother had even a shred of sincerity, she would not have remained oblivious to it!

Leon did not believe that his grandmother did not know of it for over twenty years. Perhaps in the eyes of those high and mighty members of the Arrision family, Leon's rise to become a young master of the wealthy family was nothing more than a stroke of luck.

But what Leon wanted was not to bow his head and compromise, to become a puppet of the Arrision family, but to use all means to build his own Arrision family, with the Arrision family as a stepping stone.

And to tell everyone that he was the true aristocrat, fighting for his mother Edith. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Leon left Spring Gold Resort and drove straight to the clinic.

As soon as he arrived, his phone vibrated. It was an unfamiliar number from Panama. After hesitating for ten seconds, Leon answered the call and had a vague premonition. "Leon, it's me.." A middle-aged voice came through the phone, filled with extreme unfamiliarity and yet mixed with a sense of familiarity.

Even though it was the first time Leon had heard it in his life, he instantly understood who was on the other end of the line. Leon asked knowingly, "Who are you?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for half a minute before the voice said, "Leon, I know that I have neglected your feelings over the years and owe you a great debt. But no matter what, I am your father."

"I just found out that I have a father," Leon said with a sarcastic laugh. "Leon, I know you have grievances against me. It was all my fault back then. I was wrong to you, so I handed over the inheritance of the Arrision family to you to make up for it." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded full of regret.

"It's ridiculous. You said you tried to make it up to me? Until now, you haven't even called my mother once. What do you take her for? If you want to make up for it, make it up to my mother properly instead of pretending in front of me!" Leon's voice turned cold.

The voice on the other end of the phone responded, "l will seek her forgiveness slowly, but your priority now is to gain your grandmother's approval."

"Adeline has already passed on the news of what happened in Cuba to Panama. Your grandmother is very angry about it. If your grandmother personally intervenes, the Consequences of this matter..."

    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

    The Arrision Family Trading Company has numerous projects, and all of the servant families present are involved in them. Without the commercial projects allocated by the company, these servant families would not have their current wealth and status. However, due to the long-standing vacancy of the chairman position, the company's financial accounts have been fully controlled by Maurice, who reports directly to the Arrision Family in Panama. Whether there are any discrepancies in the accounts can only be verified by personal investigation. Therefore, when Leon demanded an audit, the group of servants around him all had their faces turn pale with fear. Maurice was scared out of his wits, having just escaped one crisis, only to be hit head-on by another! As the vice president of the company, Maurice has taken advantage of his position for personal gain over the years. Almost every year, the accounts he reported to the Arrision Family were fabricated. The vast majority of the

    Silence, a deathly silence. Everyone present was trembling with fear. Especially the words spoken by Leon, each one struck at the heart. What should be done? Should the investigation into the accounts continue? These simple questions rendered Leon's tactics in full display, leaving no one with the courage to answer! And this silence, along with Leon's gaze, was even more terrifying. One minute, two minutes, three minutes. Time passed by, and the fear only grew stronger. It lasted for a full five minutes before Someone couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy. "Young master, spare us!" "We beg of you, please don't continue the investigation!" "As long as you give us a chance, We will swear to serve you faithfully and fulfill our duties as your servants!" The scene was shocking, with the sound of begging for mercy ringing in everyone's ears. Ada's Lewis stood beside Leon, witnessing everything with a calm exterior, but his heart was already in turmoil, completely convinc

    That night, Leon stayed overnight at the Chamber of Commerce. Due to the death of Maurice, the position of vice president was left vacant, which was indispensable for the Chamber of Commerce. For this reason, Ada's Lewis specially listed a list neatly placed in front of Leon. Leon sat in the office, picked up the list on the desk, and carefully examined it. On this list were all first-line families, second only to the Abel family in Oz, and had a significant reputation throughout Spring Province. Ada's Lewis asked softly, "Young Master, the position of the vice president is a major event for the Chamber of Commerce. We cannot be hasty. After seeing this list, what is your opinion?" Leon put down the list, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair, revealing a smile: "Most of the servant families on this list have comparable strengths. If I make a personal decision, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble or internal imbalances. Therefore, the best way is to transfo

    The Oz Adam's family was already quite strong. Especially in the Arrision's Chamber of Commerce, the status of the Oz Charlton family is second only to the Oz Abel family! Now that Maurice I has completely fallen, and the entire Abel family has been implicated, the Charlton family should take advantage of the trend! There is at least a 70% chance of winning this election, and the Charlton family is sure to win the position of vice president. Amy, as the wife of the Charlton family in Oz, naturally felt contemptuous of her relatives in Cuba, and she had gradually alienated them many years ago. If it wasn't for the young master's approval of the Adams family in Cuba at the chamber of commerce yesterday, Amy wouldn't want to come to Cuba to meet these low-level relatives at all! A mere William, in Amy's view, is worthless, and it's far from it. "You Adam's family in Cuba, don't think that being praised by the young master can make you defiant." "In the servant family, there is

    That night, Adelins returned to her residence and immediately flew into a rage. "Avril, you useless thing!" "Why did you have to plead with Leon? You have completely embarrassed me." "Most importantly, Leon was just teasing us, and you believed him!" Avril shrunk her neck and cowered like a quail, getting scolded so badly that she didn't dare to argue back. Seeing Avril's appearance, Adeline became even more furious. She wanted to hit her, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she stomped her foot and transferred all her anger onto Leon, continuing to curse him out. "It's all because of that wild bastard Leon. If he didn't exist, we wouldn't have SO much trouble!" For Adeline, the situation had become extremely unfavorable. The reason was simple. Although Audrey, was ashamed and angry about the matter, she didn't outright refuse. This was a subtle move, and there might still be room for negotiation. Who knows, Audrey might even end up falling in love with Leon. Aft

    Once she nodded in agreement and willingly became Leon's concubine, no matter from which perspective, the Haggard family would be admitting the difference in status between the two families, which would make the prestige of the family more deeply rooted and cause the Haggard's family to be subject to the Arrision family. However, if she reneged on the spot and announced the cancellation of the marriage, the future of the Haggard's family would inevitably be stagnant and difficult to make progress and ultimately would be left behind by the Arrision family. It had to be said that Leon's move was extremely ingenious and brilliant. Audrey was originally a proud daughter of heaven, but she had never encountered someone of the same age who had such means. What was even more unbelievable to Audrey was that even knowing Leon's methods, she could not think of a way to break the deadlock, which was simply unimaginable. As Audrey was dumbfounded, the steward Haley beside her was alread

    Facing Leon's attitude, Audrey was caught off guard. As the heir of the Haggard family, she was always respectful towards anyone in front of her. However, Leon was different! "Although the Arrision family is the first family in Narnia, if we look at the overall situation and foundation, the Haggard family is not inferior!" "As we have already agreed on the marriage, we should be aware of the pros and cons. We should be cautious in our Words and actions. If we cause the relationship between us to fall into a deadlock again, can you bear the responsibility?" "Perhaps you, Leon, are not to be offended in the eyes of others, but it is not the case for me, Audrey!" As Audrey spoke, her momentum suddenly changed, instantly suppressing the whole scene with her imposing manner. Haley covered his face and felt relieved. He thought that Miss was indeed a talented woman. In terms of tactics, Leon was not her match. Today, Leon, the young master, was bound to be humiliated. On the other side

    Adeline had great confidence in this marriage alliance. Once the marriage failed, Leon's position would not be guaranteed, and he might even be expelled from the Arrision family. At that time, no one could stop Avril from smoothly inheriting the family business. As expected, even the calm and composed Audrey couldn't help but be surprised when he learned about Emerald's existence and Leonard attitude. Haley, who was standing next to him, was even more furious and kept speaking out. "This marriage alliance is of great importance. As the young master, Leon is so impulsive!" "What a waste of my lady's efforts to come to Cuba. Is this what your Arrision family means by sincerity? Or is your Arrision family deliberately playing with people?" Adeline couldn't help feeling proud, but still pretended to be apologetic and said, "Please rest assured, Haggard family. As an elder, I have an unshrinkable responsibility in this matter. I will make Leon agree." Audrey frowned slightly a

    On that day, Leon received a call from Ada's Lewis. In the call, Ada's Lewis solemnly stated that the engagement between the two major families had been agreed upon, which would have a significant impact. Most importantly, Audrey would arrive in Cuba tonight to meet in the name of the family alliance. The old lady instructed that Leon must personally attend and not allow any mistakes to occur. In addition, the old lady also instructed Leon to settle things with Emerald as soon as possible. Leon had no response to this. Everything was within his expectations. The engagement between the two major families was a huge matter involving countless interests, and the old lady could not afford to make any mistakes. Unfortunately, Leon was not someone who would blindly follow orders and accept everything that was thrown at him. Time passed quickly, and it was now nighttime. The Cuba Grand Hotel appeared particularly solemn, with over a hundred bodyguards surrounding it, closely monito

    At the same time, Adeline was in Cuba and had been in the hospital due to her previous burn injuries. She had just learned about yesterday's incident. "What? Avril, are you sure you're not mistaken?" "That wild seed, Leon, actually...did that to Maurice." "I thought Leon would be suppressed by Maurice when he entered the Chamber of Commerce, but the opposite happened?" Adeline was stunned in the hospital bed, looking incredulous. Avril looked embarrassed and couldn't help but suggest giving up: "Mom, why don't we just forget about it? Leon is not someone who can be described by common sense. If we continue to develop this, we might end up in the same situation one day." Adeline slapped the bed and pointed to the burn on her body, cursing: "Look at what Adeline has done to me since l came to Cuba. How can l just give up and run back to Panama with my tail between my legs? How can I face myself in the future?" Avril's expression was filled with helplessness: "But we can't do any

    Faced with this situation, Amy was caught off guard. Emerald's fiance turned out to be the young master of the Arrision family! These relatives whom she looked down upon the most had risen to great heights. Most importantly, she had accused the young master of impersonating someone in front of him. Amy never dreamed that she would make such a big mistake, and even worse, she did it under the banner of the Charlton family of Oz, which resulted in her immediate disqualification from the vice president election. This consequence would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the entire Charlton family of Oz. After hanging up the phone, Emily couldn't help but laugh out loud: " Amy, now it's your turn to be embarrassed. You think you're the wife of the Charlton family, and you're pretending to be high and mighty in front of us, looking down on people." Lux also felt a sense of satisfaction from head to toe for the first time, riding on the coattails of Leon's fame, and experiencing what it
