Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 39

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 anything about Leon now. Although Grandma is very angry, she hasn't made it clear what she wants to do with him."

"Because no matter what, Leon is still the legitimate heir of the family. Grandma cares about these things." Adeline was furious, her forehead veins bulging as she cursed: "Bullshit legitimate heir, he's just a wild seed. What qualifications does he have to inherit the Arrision family? If anyone is going to inherit, it should be you. Even if it's not you, it's not his turn. l absolutely cannot bow down to Leon at this critical moment!" Avril urgently said:

"Mom, listen to my advice. Let's just give up now to avoid a worse outcome in the future. And there's one more thing I need to tell you. Grandma arranged a marriage for Leon a few days ago, in the name of the young master of the Arrision family, with the Haggard family." Upon hearing the name Haggard family, Adeline couldn't help but shudder.

Among the great families in the vast land of Panama, besides the Arrision family, the Haggard family is also considered a prestigious one.

The Arrision faMorrison the first family of the dynasty, holds immense power and wealth. The Haggard family is not far behind and is also a giant in its own right. For many years, the two great families had a lot of conflicts and engaged in numerous battles.

However, to maintain balance and avoid mutual destruction, they always stopped short of going all out. It was only in recent years that the relationship between the two families gradually improved, and they began to engage in business dealings.

The old lady's move was undoubtedly meant to completely break the stalemate and use the marriage alliance to bring the two great families together. "You're not kidding me, are you?" Adeline gasped. Avril replied, "How could I joke about something like this? It's true, and the Haggard family has already agreed to it."

"This is a rare occurrence in SO many years. Lt shows how much the old lady values Leon. We don't have the confidence to continue fighting with him against the Haggard family." At this point, Avril pursed her lips.

Although there was some reluctance, it was also helpless. As the most respected figure within the Arrision family, if the old lady wanted to do something to Leon she would have done so long ago.

How could she let him go and form an alliance with the Haggard family instead? The old lady may say that she doesn't like Leon, but in reality, she cares about him! "So, who is Leon's marriage partner from the Haggard family?" Adeline's breathing became rapid. Avril replied, "She is the eldest granddaughter of the Haggard family, Audrey!"

In an instant, Adeline felt suffocated. Audrey was the most outstanding Woman in the Haggard family. Not only that, but she also possessed remarkable abilities that made everyone in the Haggard family admire and respect her, despite being a woman.

All the members of the Haggard family recommended her as the heir, breaking the traditional feudal rules of family inheritance.

If the heirs of these two great families were to marry and become husband and wife, the prospects were unimaginable. "Audrey? How did this wild seed, Leon, get so lucky?" Adeline's nails dug into her palms as jealousy burned within her, her eyes turning red.

Adeline tried to persuade her, "Mom, let's just leave. Grandma has already made her decision, which means we have no chance. If we continue like this, we'll only embarrass ourselves and become a laughingstock." Adeline angrily shook her hand and said, "If you had even half of Audrey's abilities, you would have been in her position long ago. How could it be Leon's turn? You disappoint me so much!"

"Mom, I." Avril lowered her head in shame. Adeline's eyes filled with resentment and malice as she said, "I won't easily give up on this matter. Leon has caused me so much trouble, and he must pay the price."

"Since your grandmother values this alliance with the Haggard family so much, all we need to do is ruin this marriage. Then, I don't believe your grandmother won't do anything. Besides, Leon already has Emerald by his side, so this is a perfect opportunity for us to strike!" Adeline laughed.

Adeline's face lit up with hope, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about that. Hahaha, in that case, we haven't completely lost yet. Leon is going to suffer a big loss this time!" On the other side, Leon returned to the medical office.

Upon entering the hospital room, Leon saw Avalon checking up on Edith with medical equipment. "Dr. how is my mother's recovery?" Leon hurriedly approached.

"Congratulations, young master. Madam has recovered exceptionally well, and everything went very smoothly," Dean removed the equipment and revealed a pleased smile. Edith expressed her gratitude, "l have to thank Dr. Dean for taking care of me."

"No need, these are things | should do. However, I have something to discuss with the young master alone," Dean modestly waved his hand and then bowed to ask for permission. Leon nodded and followed Dean out of the hospital room. Dean closed the door and spoke with a solemn expression, "Young master, I have heard about recent events, including the marriage arranged for you by the old lady. This matter... is not to be taken lightly!"

"What's so serious?" Leon remained calm. Dean swallowed and explained, "Audrey is the heir of the Haggard family. The fact that the old lady arranged this marriage means that she attaches great importance to it. If you do not comply with this arrangement, I'm afraid..." Leon raised his hand and patted Dean's shoulder with a smile,

"Thank you for your concern, Dr. But I know what I'm doing. This is just a small problem, and it won't be difficult for me, Leon I have no fear!"
