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 was like to be truly proud.

"The Charlton family of Oz has hit a wall this time. Since someone doesn't want to recognize us as relatives, we won't bother to help plead for mercy," Lex exclaimed. At that moment, Amy's face turned ashen, and everything that had been so high and mighty just now had turned into self-abasement.

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Especially when she thought of the huge turmoil that had occurred in the Arrision family's business association yesterday, as well as Maurice's death, Amy was instantly terrified and almost lost her mind. "Young Master, I didn't know it was you. If I had known, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't have dared to do this," Amy said, her face as white as paper, her legs trembling so badly that she couldn't stand steady.

Leon stood with his hands behind his back and gave her a cold glance. "Does that mean you can do this if I'm not the young master? What about the rules?" "Young Master, this was just a misunderstanding. Please forgive my mistake, considering that we are relatives. I promise that the Charlton family of Oz will follow your instructions throughout the rest of the election," Amy pleaded, on the verge of tears.

Leon nodded approvingly. "I, Leon, always keep my word. The vice president election is a very important matter for the business association. With the Charlton family of Oz participating, it will set a good example for other servant families and let them know that no one is allowed to violate the rules I have set." Amy saw the situation was not good and quickly turned to Emily pleading, "Emily, you have to help me!" Emily shrugged.

"The Charlton family of Oz is a big family with a big business. As a small person like me, I can't help." Amy was completely panicked and turned to Lex.

"Lex, please help me!"

Lex arrogantly turned his head away and said, "I already made it clear earlier. Asking me won't do any good." "Evita, I am your aunt. You can't just stand by and watch. Otherwise, how can your father rest in peace?" Amy grabbed Emerald as if she had caught the last straw. Emerald shook her head. "Don't bring my father into this. If he were still alive, who knows how he would feel right now?"

"And for so many years, you deliberately distanced yourself from us and just said a bunch of hurtful things earlier. Even if I wanted to help you, I have no reason to. It's your problem, and you have to take responsibility for your actions." At this moment, Amy fell into despair.

How could she go back and explain such a big incident? Leon said lightly, "If there's nothing else, you can leave now." "Young master, I.." Amy trembled.

"| don't want to say it a second time." Leon's face turned cold and stern. Amy swallowed her saliva, not daring to act recklessly, afraid that Leon would be angry. She could only leave with regret, nodding her head obediently. Emily took the opportunity to close the door and happily ran to Leon, pouring tea and handing water to him with a smiling face.

"Leon, my good son-in-law, you helped me vent my anger this time!" Lex quickly played with his antique walnut, feeling extremely proud. "Leon, you probably don't know.

Amy has looked down on us for years because she married into the Charlton family of Oz. In the end, we are the true aristocrats!" Leon took a sip of hot tea and suddenly poured a bucket of cold water, saying, "I've said before that I don't want anyone to rely on my identity and just sit back and enjoy the benefits. Don't get too proud of yourselves." Lex's smile disappeared instantly, and he shrank his neck, afraid to speak.

Emily's expression also stiffened, explaining, "Leon, since last time, we haven't had that idea anymore. We were afraid you would misunderstand, so we didn't say anything about you to others."

"Even the Spring Resort project, we are all very responsible for the progress of the project, and we cannot allow any mistakes. We have always been grateful to you." Leon was not a petty person, and this change in attitude was indeed a good thing. At least from now on, there Would be no more family conflicts like this.

So Leon went straight to the point and said, "Actually, under normal circumstances, I was supposed to stay in the Chamber of Commerce for a while before coming back, but I'm worried that I won't have enough time, so I entrusted the matter to Ada's Lewis and came back specifically!"

"Why did you come back specifically?" Lex couldn't react.

Emily gave him a disdainful look and said, "You fool, why else would he come back specifically? Of course, it's to get married and get a marriage certificate!"

"Really?" Emerald was quite surprised. Leon smiled and nodded, "Yes, I plan to get the certificate in these few days.

As for the wedding banquet, it will be postponed for the time being. After all, I have to give Emerald a status." Status was extremely important, especially in the Arrision family, a huge family!

Only when Emerald obtained the status of the young master's wife could she be considered to have a greater degree of influence and ensure her safety? So Leon's return to Cuba this time was not a sudden decision, but a well-planned one.

However, just at this critical moment, Leon's phone suddenly vibrated. Leon took a look and saw that it was a number from Panama!

Leon waved his hand and gestured, "You guys go out first." Emily wasn't a fool, so she quickly pulled Emerald and Lex out of the office. Afterward, Leon answered the phone, put it to his ear, and said coldly, "Just say what you want to say. I don't have time to communicate with you emotionally."

"Leon, how could you kill your uncle?" Caleb's tone sounded very anxious. Leon answered straightforwardly, "He didn't follow the rules and infringed upon the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Why can't I kill him? Just because he's an elder, does he have a get-out-of-jail-free card? The Chamber of Commerce is the foundation. If we don't get rid of these parasites, should we keep them for the New Year?"

"Do you know how angry your grandmother was after she found out about this?" Caleb said. Leon smiled instead of getting angry, "I did a good thing. Why would grandma be angry? She should be happy, after all, everything I'm doing now is for the benefit of the Arrision family and completely in line with my duties as the young master."

"Besides, even if Grandma is angry, she hasn't done anything to me, right? That just proves that she agrees with my actions." Caleb was so anxious on the other end of the phone, "But..." Leon said coldly.

"There are no buts. I have another thing to notify you about. I'm getting married." "No, you can't marry someone else. Your grandmother has already arranged a marriage for you a few days ago, on behalf of the Arrision family!" Caleb suddenly said something shocking.

Upon hearing this, Leon was also somewhat surprised. But, it was only a slight surprise. "Remember, I'm just notifying you, not asking for your permission." Leon hung up the phone mercilessly.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Under Audrey's stunning beauty, Emerald couldn't believe that Leon would speak up for her like that. His unwavering determination seemed unshakable! Emerald was moved beyond words. "Leon, you're going too far," Audrey was greatly provoked, especially by Leon's earlier statement that she would always be a concubine, which was a huge shame. "I don't think I'm going too far. As you said earlier, this is a transaction from beginning to end, and I'm just following the rules of the transaction," Leon said, shocking everyone again. Emerald had never dreamed that Audrey Would be such a perfect woman. In comparison, she couldn't help but feel that she was too ordinary and couldn't help but feel inferior. However, just as Emerald was feeling insecure, Leon's strong hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, and he solemnly introduced her. "Allow me to introduce my wife, Emerald!" Audrey looked her over and was even more discouraged. Her nails sank into her palms as she muttered, "So she's

    Half an hour later, Leon arrived at the clinic as usual, accompanied by Emerald. Due to the sudden marriage registration yesterday, Leon had not informed Edith in advance, so now he had to tell her the great news in person. However, as soon as Leon parked the car, he saw a middle-aged stranger standing at the clinic's entrance. The middle-aged man was dressed in a suit and had a gentle and refined demeanor, but also exuded an indescribable aura of authority that made people hesitate to approach him. When he saw Leon getting out of the car, the middle-aged man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and his eyes revealed a complex expression. As their eyes met, even without any verbal communication, Leon, based on their blood relationship, guessed the identity of the middle-aged man before him. However, even so, Leon couldn't help but freeze in place. He had only heard the man's voice over the phone before, but now he was face to face with him. At this moment, Leon's em

    "Leon, are you crazy? Do you know how big of an impact this will have? It could affect your life and death at any moment, and yet you just give a casual response? l came all the way here just to tell you!" Audrey was almost infuriated.Leon slowly stood up from the bed and calmly said, "Even if Leo is alive, what can he do? I don't care whether he's alive or dead.""I'm curious though, you could have chosen the more advantageous side with Leo, so why did you come to tell me? Could it be..." Audrey was filled with anger and retorted, "Nonsense! I just want to win you fairly and squarely, I don't want to win in such a dishonorable way. Don't try to flatter yourself, I don't like you.""l didn't say it was about that. You're so eager to answer, are you trying to cover up something?" Leon narrowed his eyes."I'm talking to you about seriousmatters, why are you bringing up thesethings? Can't you take it seriously? Aslong as Leo is alive, he will alwaysbe pressing down on you!"

    Afterwards, Leon returned to the president's office. Godfrey followed him in and closed the door behind him. "Adeline and her daughter personally came to issue a challenge!""Young Master, could this be true?" Godfrey's face showed disbelief and his heart was in turmoil. As one of the insiders, he could definitely understand the intentions behind Adeline and her daughter's words and actions when they came to the door. Freya waved his hand. "Dad, the Young Master has already handled it properly. You don't need to worry too much.""How can I not worry? This is a huge matter!" Godfrey was extremely anxious. Leon raised his eyes and looked at Godfrey's expression. He couldn't help but smile slightly, then nodded at Freya as a signal. Godfrey understood and explained the whole story to Godfrey. After hearing it, Godfrey was shocked and his expression changed dramatically. Finally, he almost worshipped Leon, excitedly laughing and bowing to him. "Young Master is brilliant, this is simply

    They walked out of the hotel's gate. Freya felt like he had just woken up from a dream and was refreshed from head to toe. The situation that he thought was extremely embarrassing had suddenly changed dramatically in the blink of an eye. It was unbelievable! Especially when he thought of Leo's face, Freya couldn't help but feel a great sense of satisfaction. Leo thought he was clever and could kill with his words, but he was actually just tying himself up with his own words. In front of the young master, he was nothing but a paper tiger that could be easily defeated. In the end, it was Leo himself who was killed by his own words! Among all this, what impressed Freya the most was Leon's thunderous actions from beginning to end. His iron-blooded and domineering spirit was overwhelming and awe-inspiring! After this encounter, the young master's name was truly unparalleled! Without hesitation, Freya straightened his body and spoke with the utmost respect, "Young Master, I w

    "Leo, I really have to thank you even in my dreams!" "Because if it were me, l would definitely not come to Cuba, but head straight to Panama!" "You think you have the upper hand, but you don't realize that you're actually walking into a trap!" Leon burst into laughter, analyzing the situation in just a few sentences. Freya stood beside him, suddenly realizing the truth. Leo was indeed the biggest threat, and once he went to Panama to reveal his identity, Leon would have no chance of turning the tables andwould be in an irreversible situation.But Leo was too arrogant!He thought he could stand behind the scenes and wait until the situation was ripe before making his move, but he didn't realize that he was actually inviting disaster upon himself. Leon would never let Leo leave Cuba alive, let alone the hotel! To put it bluntly, Leo was already a dead man walking, and even if he died again, what difference would it make? Thinking of this, Freya suddenly realized why Leo

    "Leon, please have a seat!" With a smile on his face, Linton gestured for Leon to sit down as they entered the presidential suite. Leon took a quick glance around the room before sitting down and couldn't help but take a few more looks at Linton. It had to be said that Linton's mature appearance was still sharp and distinct, even with wrinkles creeping up in middle age, he couldn't conceal the youthful charm he had in his prime. "As a representative of the Arrision family overseas, why did Representative Linton come to this small place in Cuba without even a greeting, and stayed here for several days?" Leon got straight to the point without any hesitation. Freya stood aside and didn't interrupt, as if turning into Leon's ears and eyes, carefully observing Linton's every move and expression. Linton remained calm and composed, making tea while smiling gently, "Although Cuba is a small place, hasn't it also produced someone like Leon?" "The reason why I came here

    The Chamber of Commerce was flourishing. After a series of changes, project adjustments, and resource integration, the major servant families had basically completed their transfer. As for the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, it was still fully taken on by Godfrey. Leon sat in his brand new office, constantly reviewing the project files on his desk, checking and stamping them, and he was completely engrossed in his Work. At this moment, Godfrey and his son knocked on the door and walked in slowly. "Young Master!" Leon put down his pen and couldn't help but smile at Godfrey, praising him, "Godfrey, thanks to your efforts in the transfer from the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce to the Chamber of Commerce, we wouldn't have achieved this level so quickly." "This is what the old servant should do. After all, I am the vice president and | cannot embarrass you. Besides, I haven't had a chance to thank you for promoting my son." Godfrey was overjoyed and

    In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Under the full efforts of Freya and the strong call of the Zion family group, the New Business Association was officially established in the name of Leon. On the day of its establishment, various local families in Cuba flocked to join the association and were willing to serve it. In addition, the servant families of the Business Association also began to move collectively and bring all their resources to the New Business Association, and this momentum continued to grow. What was even more unbelievable was that after the establishment of the New Business Association, the people involved in Lior's relationships not only did not obstruct the progress of the New Business Association as expected, but instead the wind direction changed drastically and all of them cooperated without daring to make trouble. Moreover, they even personally sent gifts to the New Business Association. For a time, the New Business Association's momentum

If I, Haley, don't teach you a lesson today, how can Miss Leo's face be preserved?" Haley was furious and could no longer restrain his emotions. He raised his hand and slapped Leon. Leon easily caught Haley's wrist, exerted force with his foot, and calmly threw Haley to the ground. Then, Leon said lightly, "I told you before, leave Cuba early, don't wander in front of me, and don't bring shame upon yourself. You have only yourself to blame." "You damn thing, if it weren't for the lack of heirs in the Arrision family, how could a wild seed like you have a chance?" Haley quickly got up, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture to continue the fight. Hearing the term "wild seed," Leon's killing intent flashed.

    After dealing with the matters at Spring Resort, Leon handed over the task of mobilizing the people to the Zion Group, and personally went to the Adam's family in Cuba. The Adam's family was as peaceful as usual. Upon learning of Leon's arrival, Freya immediately put aside everything else and hobbled out with his crutches to greet him. He respectfully led Leon to the main hall and served him tea and water. Leon did not rush to drink the tea, but instead focused his gaze on Freya and asked, "How is your leg injury recovering?" "Thank you for your concern, young master. Freya's leg injury has recovered a lot. In a little while, I won't need crutches anymore. However, it may bea bit inconvenient for me to move around in the future, but it won't affect anything," Freya replied, bowing his head and not daring to look directly at Leon. Leon sighed and said, "Regarding the incident before, you didn't know my identity beforehand, and it was only out of the family's positio
