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.

    Arrison Leon, you have a lot of nerve to have designs on my daughter?!" A middle-aged woman with a strong demeanor and a half-old appearance sat in the chairman's office of Diva Construction Company berating a young man in front of her with anger and disgust on her face. Although it was lunchtime, there were still many employees inside the company who couldn't help but look over when they heard the commotion, filled with schadenfreude. "You're just an ordinary employee of my company. What ability do you have to be with my daughter?" The woman continued to scold, "You dare to think about her?!" "Chairman, please give me a chance to prove myself," Arrison Leon looked embarrassed, his nails sinking into his palms. "Who do you think you are, Leon? What can you prove? You're just a frog in a well who wants to eat swan meat. I give you until the end of today to leave the company!" Emily slammed the table and stood up, throwing a dismissal letter directly at Leon. Seeing the dismissal

    Lost son? Or illegitimate child? Upon hearing this news, Leon was suddenly at a loss. In Leon's memory, he was raised solely by his mother Edith, and had never known who his father was. As for his father, Edith had always claimed that he passed away before Leon was born and that his surname was Arrison! And now, all of a sudden, a father had appeared? "Are you joking with me?" Leon swallowed hard. "Young master, how could I dare to joke with you? You are the old master's last son!" The butler smiled apologetically, his words hinting at some special information. "Last son, what do you mean?" Leon suddenly realized. "Cough, the old master had twin sons, but they have unfortunately passed away. Now the family needs a successor. The old master sent me from Panama to Cuba to search for you and your mother's whereabouts." The butler's smile gradually became awkward. Leon slapped his forehead, finally understanding. He was almost infuriated and cherished, "So, only when all

"Just now, the engagement between you and Adam's family in Cuba has been completely settled. Leon must leave!" In the chairman's office, Emily sat upright in her chair, looking particularly strong, and her tone was particularly domineering. Mr Lex held a carved walnut in his right hand, and his expression was full of disdain. He praised confidently, "Emerald, Adam's family in Cuba is a great opportunity for our company." "If Leon, this waste, messes it up, the loss will be considerable. As the heir of the company, you must make a decision!" Leon stood next to Emerald, looking extremely helpless Just downstairs now, no matter how he explained, Emerald didn't believe him at all. She forcibly dragged him back, as if she was going to stand up for him. Sure enough, before Leon could speak, Emerald tightened her face and said, "A great opportunity? In my opinion, it

After hanging up the phone, Emily couldn't help but laugh out loud: " Amy, now it's your turn to be embarrassed.

    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, 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

    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
