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!"

    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

    After the celebration, Leon left the ward alone. As he looked outside, he found that his father, Caleb, was nowhere to be seen. Although disappointed, Leon felt relieved because if Caleb had come with genuine intentions, he might have been swayed by their familial ties, and this would have caused complications if he had taken action against the Arrision family in the future. But now, everything was going according to Leon's plan, and he no longer needed to worry about his father's influence. He could finally reject his hypocritical and heartless father without hesitation. At that moment, Emerald walked out of the ward. Seeing Leon's expression, she felt a pang of heartache but didn't know how to comfort him. She could only hold his arm silently. After a few minutes, Leon said, "Emerald, the Chamber of Commerce will announce the vice president tomorrow, come with me." Emerald was puzzled. "What does it have to do with me? What can I do?" Leon patted her hand and smiled.

    "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

    In the name of a concubine, I will stand in for my husband. With these words, Leon had nothing to say. Faced with such remarks, Audrey was completely stunned. "Leon, you are simply arrogant. 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. Like a bolt of lightning, his five fingers turned into dragon claws and grab

    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
