Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 40

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 monitoring the area.

All the high-level staff was also present, waiting at the entrance to welcome the distinguished guests. Godfrey dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood at the forefront as the chairman, his anxious expression unable to be concealed.

Even Freya, who was injured, was rarely present, feeling nervous at the sight of the situation before him.

Godfrey lowered his voice and quickly reminded Freya, "Freya, after the person arrives, you must not speak out of turn and just stand aside." Freya swallowed his saliva and replied, "This time it's Miss Audrey who came from Panama to Cuba to be received by our side, and she also wants to meet the young master. Such a big matter, how could I dare to speak out of turn?"

"The last misunderstanding, I was lucky to keep my life, and the young master didn't pursue it any further. That was already a relief," Godfrey squeezed his hand and looked worried. "But this time, the matter is too big. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the young master. "

"Is it because of Emerald?" Freya wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked. "Emerald is the one the young master has identified. With the young master's style, he will not compromise easily. If he handles it improperly and angers the old lady, the consequences will be endless!" Godfrey gritted his teeth.

"I believe in the young master. He should have made a decision. After all, so many things have happened before and after, and the young master can still handle it with ease. It shows the young master's strategy. I am not even worthy to compare myself to him," Freya held his breath and spoke with reverence.

"But this is not a small problem!" Godfrey was still uncertain. Before Freya could speak again, a luxurious extended Lincoln slowly drove up from a distance and finally stopped at the hotel entrance.

"Everyone tensed up." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler was the first to get out of the car. This person was none other than Haley, the real butler of the Haggards family!

When Godfrey saw Haley's appearance, his heart jumped wildly and he quickly led the team to greet him. "Butler Haley," Haley's temples were white, and his demeanor was imposing.

As he nodded slightly, he said in a compelling tone, "My young lady has come from Panama to Cuba. I Wonder if your young master can come to meet her?"

"Butler Haley, I'm sorry. The young master hasn't arrived yet. Why don't you ask Miss Audrey to get out of the car first and come in with me to wait?" Godfrey's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Haley instantly widened his eyes, and his expression was full of displeasure.

"Wasn't it already notified earlier? Why does my young lady have to wait for him inside?" Godfrey was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Just at this moment, the back door of Lincoln was pushed open from the inside, revealing a tall and stunningly beautiful young woman who took everyone's breath away.

Haley immediately bent down and respectfully helped her out of the car, "Miss, why did you come down personally? Please be careful with the car door!" The whole room was stunned.

The young woman who got out of the car was none other than the heir of the Haggards family, Audrey!

"Since Leon hasn't arrived yet, I can wait inside for a while, it's no big deal," Audrey said, exuding an air of nobility and elegance that made it impossible for anyone to disrespect her. "But." Haley hesitated.

"This matter is of great importance, involving two major families, so there's no need to worry about who goes first," Audrey said, seeming to care about nothing except the interests of the family, and not showing any concern for anything else. Godfrey quickly bowed and said, "Godfrey of Cuba, I have met Miss Audrey!"

Audrey replied calmly, "Is everything arranged?" Godfrey gestured, "Please rest assured, Miss Audrey, everything is in order. Please follow me inside."

Seeing this, Freya also quickly followed Godfrey's lead, not daring to look directly at Audrey's face, and could only steal glances at her from the corner of his eye.

His heart was shocked by her innate air of nobility and her cold indifference, which made it difficult for him to breathe.

After a moment, under Godfrey's arrangement, they smoothly entered the most expensive Diamond banquet hall inside the hotel.

Except for Audrey, everyone in the spacious hall stood up and dared not sit down. Audrey sat in his seat, with no ripple in his eyes, appearing calm and inscrutable. After waiting for about ten minutes, Haley looked around the banquet hall before breaking the silence and questioning,

"Godfrey, my young lady has been waiting for so long. Why hasn't your young master arrived yet? Doesn't he know how important this matter is?" "I'll contact the young master right away!" Godfrey didn't dare to neglect and immediately took out his phone to notify him.

But before he could make the call, a mother and daughter walked in through the banquet hall doo.

It was Ariana!

"Lady!"

Haley slightly restrained himself. Seeing Ariana's arrival, Audrey also stood up from his seat, but his face still had no smile, only a plain greeting. Ariana didn't hesitate and walked up to Audrey, pulling her to sit down and getting straight to the point,

"Audrey, I am very happy about the marriage alliance between our two families, but I'm afraid you will return empty-handed this time."

"Return empty-handed ?" Audrey raised her eyebrows. Ariana explained, "The Arrision family values this marriage very much, but unfortunately, Leon refused to listen to advice and has been delaying the arrangement for a woman named Emerald. I'm afraid he won't show up today."

"I know this matter can't be concealed for too long, so I came here specifically to tell you."

"But rest assured, for the benefit of both our families, I will do everything in my power to make Leon accept this marriage proposal as soon as possible!" Ariana put on a show of sincerity and patted her chest, speaking with great conviction.

In her heart, she was making calculations and planning. If she could mess up this marriage proposal, how much longer could Leon hold onto his position as the young master?
