Leon, how dare you come back?"

"Emerald, are you planning to make a scene in the company because of this useless waste?" "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 should be your opportunity."

"You just want to use me to achieve your success. Besides, I don't agree with this matter at all. You can't force me, nor can you make decisions for me!"

"Rude!" Emily was furious and slammed the table. Seeing the situation was not good, Mr. Lex quickly stepped in and asked, "Emerald, your mother is thinking about you. You should know the position of Adam's family in Cuba. It is one of the best."

"If you marry into a wealthy family you will enjoy it even in your next life. Why do you have to follow Leon, this poor boy?" At this point, Mr. Lex shifted his gaze and stared at Leon, adding a few more points of disdain.

Then, Mr. Lex swallowed his saliva and said, "You know the eldest son of Adam's family in Cuba has always had thoughts about you. Marriage is a matter of course. When it comes to comparison, what can Leon compare to him?"

Although Adam's family in Cuba is undoubtedly wealthy and powerful, what I value has never been these things. Don't use these euphemistic reasons to forcibly break up my relationship with Leon," Emerald refused to compromise and spoke up for Leon.

"If you push me too far, I will resign and leave immediately. I want to see how much trouble the company will face without me!" "Do you dare?" Emily's eyes widened in anger. You can try and see if I dare!" Emerald gritted her teeth.

"You've completely turned against me! You're like a twisted arm! I've taken care of you so much, and now you dare to defy me for an outsider. Are you worthy of your deceased father?" Emily spat out, fierce like a mother tiger. She stood up and slapped Emerald in the face.

Emerald was caught off guard and her cheek stung. She stumbled back a few steps before being caught by Leon. Seeing Emerald's beaten appearance, the fire in Leon's heart finally erupted.

He spoke in a low voice, "All this talk is just because you look down on my background and think I'm not capable enough to compare with the Adam family's young master. But do you think my background is that simple?"

"What do you mean?" Emily furrowed her brows. "Leon, are you trying to say that you're a hidden millionaire with a fortune?" Mr. Lex couldn't help but chuckle.

"Emerald, you..."

Emerald stood up straight and looked at Leon. " Emerald, I appreciate your defense of me, but let me handle this. No matter if it's Adam's family in Cuba or anyone else, no one can stop us from being together," Leon spoke confidently. Upon hearing this, Emily and Mr. Lex exchanged glances.

Just moments ago, Leon was begging in front of them, but now he spoke with such confidence and his whole demeanor had changed. Does this mean that Leon has changed in some way?

Thinking of this, Emily shook her head. She knew Leon's family background very well. He was purely from the lowest level of society and had no chance of turning his life around. He must just be trying to save face.

So, Emily decisively gave Leon the order to leave. She said, "Leon, you better leave now. I don't want to have the security come up here again. Otherwise, you will be thrown out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the office phone on the table suddenly rang. Emily had to put the matter aside and answer the phone to deal with business first. However, something was said on the other end of the phone that caused Emily's face to change dramatically. After the call ended, Mr. Lex took a step forward and asked, "Sis, whose call was it? Could it be that Adam's family in Cuba has called off the wedding ?"

"It's not Adam's family in Cuba. it's... the chief steward of the Arrison family in Panama. He called directly and said that they want to acquire our company within two days. We need to be prepared!" Emily was shocked and almost couldn't stand steady.

"The Arrison family in Panama? That chief steward, Lewis?" Mr. Lex's legs went weak. The Arrison family in Panama was truly wealthy and powerful. Their level was not something ordinary people could achieve or understand. To be acquired by such a capital giant was an honor.

And the reason why Mr. Lex could blurt out Lewis's name was thanks to the relationship with Adam's family in Cuba!

Because Adam's family in Cuba was one of the servant families of the Arrison family in Panama!

Indeed, it was Mr. Lewis, the housekeeper, who made the call himself, but. Emily's voice began to tremble.

"But what else?" Mr. Lex was ecstatic.

"But in the phone call, Mr. Lewis mentioned a name and said that this person was the heir of the Arrison family in Panama. Once the acquisition is successful, he will replace me as the new chairman!" Emily couldn't help but look away and towards a familiar face in front of her, her pupils slightly dilated.

"So the heir himself is taking over? That is great! We can become his close associates and maybe even get promoted!" Mr. Lex was overjoyed. "But this person, his name is Leon!" Emily almost choked. The office fell silent for a moment.

Mr. Lex's smile disappeared, and he was stunned. Emerald couldn't believe it and was shocked. Leon smiled and calmly sat down in his chair, saying, "Is there anything else you want to say to the future chairman?"

    The Heir of the Arrison Family in Panama!At this moment, the air in the entire office seemed to freeze. It was impossible to imagine the vastness of the Arrison Family in Panama. Even the powerful Adam's Family in Cuba was just one of the servant families of the Arrison Family.If it weren't for the relationship with the Arrison Family, Adam's family would have no chance of sitting firmly in the position of the top family in Cuba.And the heir of the Arrison Family in Panama, even the eldest son of the Adam's Family, had to be respectful and serve tea and water when meeting him, let alone the master of the Adam's Family!Coincidentally, this heir's name was Leon!Could it be...At this point, Emily's heart was almost in chaos.

    For Emerald, this day was destined to be anything but peaceful. Leon's one hundred million dollar cheque shocked the entire hospital. Emerald was stunned throughout the whole process, and was in a state of unprecedented numbness, witnessing everything as if in a dream! Even as the surgery began, Emerald was still in disbelief. It wasn't until the successful completion of the surgery, and Edith being pushed into the intensive care unit, that the hospital director personally arrived, and Emerald finally regained a hint of consciousness. However, before Emerald could even ask, the director, Alin Dean, who was wearing a white coat, immediately returned Leon's one hundred million dollar check without hesitation, bowing ninety degrees and once again shocking everyone. Mr. Dean respectfully said, "Young Master Leon, this is your check, please take it back!" Seeing this scene, Emerald was once again shocked. Mr. Dean was not only the director of Cuba Hospital but also a renowned fig

    "Emily Villa Area." Arrison Leon sat in the passenger seat of Emerald's car and drove straight onto the main road of the Villa area. Looking around, the scenery of the Emily Villa area was beautiful and elegant. Most of the people who live here are either rich or famous. Emerald's villa, which was bought by Emerald's father at a high price, was one of the best single-family villas in the village area, nestled by the mountains and water showing its grandeur! However, when the car stopped at the door of the villa, the moment Leon got out of the car, he was unusually calm. It seemed that after experiencing his mother's serious illness and surviving, compared with his previous temperament, there was a subtle transformation in his bones, as if even if there were more gold and silver in front of him, he would not be moved. "You dare to come here, you little brat!" Lex suddenly came out of the gate, with a posture of squatting for a long time, and his whole person was full of

    In an instant, both Emily and Lex were suffocating. The various actions of Leon before were linked together, and the two were even more shocked and incredulous. "Could it be that?" "Could it be that you are the heir of Panama in the Arrison family?" Lex was so shocked that he even forgot the pain in his chest. "This is impossible. How could you be the heir of the Panama Arrison family? This is such an incredible thing!" Emily's face turned pale as paper, and her throat trembled. The Panama Arrison family was the true first family of Echo, with a profound heritage that was unparalleled. Not only did they have the ability to rival a wealthy country, but they were also a behemoth of power and influence. And Leon, before this, was clearly from a poor background. How could he be involved in an inheritance relationship with such an existence? This so-called answer was simply unbelievable! "Wait!" Simpson suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the scene. "As a servant of th

    "Adam's Family Mansion!" Accompanied by Leon, they arrive at the Adam's Family Mansion, already at nightfall. The entire Adam's Family Mansion was built in a very grand style, with a retro-style layout, red walls, and blue tiles. The two stone lions in front of the gate were even more imposing, exuding the top-notch aura of the Cuba family! "Leon, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you enter this door, it won't be so easy to get out. After all, if you provoke me, Simpson, you will have to pay the price." Simpson took the lead and stood at the position of the gate. Lex's face was full of sarcasm: "Yes, at this critical moment, Leon, you should admit it!" "Don't, Leon is not the kind of person who flees at the last minute. I remember he speaks with great confidence. Even if it's just bragging, he's much better than the average person," Emily said with a strange tone. Hearing these cold words, Emerald was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to announce the trut

    Faced with this situation, Emily and Lex were filled with schadenfreude. Pretending to be from the Panama Arrison family would lead to a bad outcome. However, before the two could revel in their victory, the next scene left them dumbfounded Ada Lewis was particularly respectful, immediately bowing deeply with an expression of strong reverence: "Young Master, why didn't you tell me you were coming? You stood outside for so long." Emily and her brother were left stunned and stiff. Then, Adam's Erika's behavior was even more surprising. He immediately knelt with Simpson and performed the gesture of a servant, bowing and apologizing: "Young Master, I apologize for being late to greet you. Please forgive me!" at that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Emily stood still, her throat feeling as if it were blocked by a stone. Lex's eyes bulged in amazement. "Do you know why I came to Adam's family today and stood outside for so long without going in?" Leon stood with his hands behind hi

    That night, Leon returned to the hospital. Due to the stress of the surgery, he still couldn't enter the intensive care unit and could only stand outside watching over it. Seeing Edith lying in the hospital bed with various monitoring devices and a ventilator, like a vegetable, Leon couldn't help but feel heartbroken, especially when he thought of Edith and what had happened in between. He was even more indignant. If it weren't for Lewis's appearance, perhaps Leon would never have known about his background! Of course, Leon fully understood why Edith had hidden the truth for so many years! Because no one else would be able to bear taking care of their flesh and blood and then recognizing the irresponsible and heartless man from the past! But at the same time, it was also because of this that Leon could better understand the hardships Edith had gone through over the years, and that he was Edith's last reliance! So Leon had such a big change as if he had suddenly awakened overn

    On that day, Leon arrived early in the Emily Villa area to formally propose marriage. Marriage is a major event in life, and no matter what conflicts there were before, things must be done according to the rules. For this reason, Leon prepared many gifts and hoped to do his best to make Emerald look decent. After all, during the time they were together, Leon saw how Emerald always tried to maintain their relationship. However, when Leon got out of the car, he saw a crowd of people at the villa gate. Looking around, they were all relatives and family members! Emily was standing in the front, smiling happily. When Emily saw Leon getting out of the car, she was even more delighted, not mentioning any previous conflicts and saying, "Oh, my good son-in-law, you finally arrived!" This "son-in-law" was called out loud enough, as if afraid that others couldn't hear it. Lex laughed so hard that his fat was shaking, and he went up to tightly hook Leon's shoulder, "Leon, why are you so poli

    Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

    "What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

    With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

    That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    "Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

    With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

    Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh

    "Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

    "Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr
