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 and asked, "Who is Emerald?" Adeline pretended to be coy and said, "This Emerald is just an ordinary second-tier family in Cuba. Compared to Miss Audrey, there is no doubt that they are worlds apart. It's just that my elder brother Leon is confused. We will persuade him to Come to his senses!" Audrey suspAudrey'sgrew deeper.

"As far as I know, since Leon became the young master, everything he has done has been extraordinary. How could he be easily deceived and manipulated by others?" Adeline felt a little nervous under Audrey's gaze and quickly explained, "That woman named Emerald is very cunning. You have no idea how skilled she is at manipulating people. She has completely fooled Leon, and no matter how much persuasion he receives from the Arrision family, it's all useless. Don't underestimate this Woman."

Haley immediately puffed up his cheeks and glared, "So you're saying that my lady is not as good as Emerald?" Adeline waved his hand, "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that Leon is Confused." As they watched the scene before them, the father and son duo of Adam's family were filled with anger.

These two people had come all the way here just to play this kind of sneaky game in front of so many people. It was an intentional disruption. If it weren't for Adeline's special status, they would have wanted to give her a couple of slaps!

Suddenly, Audrey raised his hand to interrupt, "That's enough, no need to say anymore." Haley suppressed his anger and asked, "Miss, what do you think?" "Wait a little longer!" Audrey said surprisingly. Upon hearing this, Adeline and Avril looked at each other in confusion, momentarily stunned.

Even Haley was somewhat caught off guard. He had thought that Haley would be furious and leave, but instead, she wanted to stay here and wait for Leon to arrive.

Before anyone could react, Audrey continued, "In my opinion, as the young master of the Arrision family, Leon is by no means a foolish person. He must have his own considerations and understand the pros and cons, rather than being bewitched by someone's words."

"This marriage is very important to me, and it cannot be influenced by a few words spoken casually." As soon as she spoke, the whole room was shocked. Haley slapped the back of his head and suddenly came to his senses, realizing the trickery of Adeline and her daughter!

Godfrey tensed up, secretly admiring Andrey's insight. She had seen through the scheme of Adeline and her daughter, even though she didn't fully understand the internal situation of the Arrision family, and had publicly exposed them! Haley's face darkened, "Madam, is this appropriate?"

"I..." Adeline's face turned as red as a goose liver. Under the scrutiny of the entire audience, she suddenly felt like a clown trying to show off and make a fool of herself.

Audrey waved his hand casually and said, "But then again, what Madam Avril did is understandable. After all, Leon is not her biological son. If Leon were to marry me, it would undoubtedly mean that Avril has lost her chance."

"Of course, this is your family matter, and I won't interfere. But because of what you did, I have become curious about Leon as a person." Adeline was extremely embarrassed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Audrey's calm expression made her feel even worse.

Avril was extremely ashamed and quickly lowered her head. She never expected Audrey to be so perceptive. For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward. Adeline sat in her seat with a pale face, unable to say a word. It was at this moment that a figure appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall. When everyone saw this figure, they were all shocked!

Godfrey didn't hesitate and showed a strong sense of awe. He respectfully went forward to greet him, "Young Master!" The executives from the hotel under Adam's family also bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Young Master!" Leon stood with his hands behind his back and walked directly towards Godfrey, who pulled out the chair opposite him with great respect.

Leon sat down with a single gesture, and the entire audience fell silent. Haley swept his gaze around and looked Leon up and down a few times.

He immediately tapped the table with his hand and said, "Young Master, do you know how long my young lady has been waiting here? Do you know how important this matter is and that it cannot be delayed?"

"'So, are you rebuking me?" Leon didn't even look at him. Haley glared at him angrily and scolded, "l advise you to straighten up your attitude. Think about what occasion it is today and who is sitting in front of you!"

"Slap him," Leon said.

"What did you say?" Haley gritted his teeth in anger. Godfrey was terrified and his heart was pounding. At a critical moment, Freya, who was standing on the side, suddenly stood up and slapped Haley in the face.

Smack!

The loud sound of the slap echoed through the banquet hall. Haley, I covered his face and was dumbfounded. Freya stopped and put his hand on his waist, unable to stop trembling. He bravely said, "You, a mere butler, dare to speak to our young master like this. You should straighten up your attitude and think about who our young master is!"

After speaking, Freya's eyes burned with passion as he looked back at Leon. "Freya, I didn't expect you to come today. How's your leg?" Leon's pupils contracted, and his tone was difficult to decipher. It sounded like he was showing concern, but it also seemed like an invisible threat. Freya quickly bowed and bent over, as if seeking approval.

"The young master's affairs are of utmost importance. How could a mere leg injury stop Freya from going out to protect the young master?" Leon looked at Freya meaningfully, remaining silent. Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds...

It wasn't until more than half a minute had passed that Leon nodded slightly and said, "Get up!" These simple words made Freya ecstatic, and he immediately straightened his waist. Audrey's eyes lit up with surprise.

"You are Leon? The one who hit me in front of my face. Even if you don't care about the monk's face, you should care about the Buddha's face, right?" Leon finally looked up and focused his attention on Audrey's stunning beauty, but he remained unmoved.

"The Arrision family is the first aristocratic family in Narnia. Why should l give a face to others?"

"And what about you...who are you?"

    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.

    With Leon's instructions, the news quickly spread to the Charlton family in Oz. Learning of Leon's attitude, the entire Charlton family was immediately frightened. Especially the patriarch Lucio, who scolded Amy in front of the whole family. "Amy, it's all your fault this time. If it weren't for you offending the young master in Cuba, would things have developed to this point? Now the young master has personally ordered us to arrive at the Chamber of Commerce within fifteen minutes. If we exceed the time limit, our Charlton family will be immediately expelled from the Chamber of Commerce and stripped of all project resources. Do you know how serious this is?" Faced with her husband's scolding and accusations, Amy's face turned ashen. "It's not like I wanted this to happen. Who knew that Emerald would have such good luck and be able to climb up to the young master Leon? And it's not like I said I wouldn't attend this time. It's clearly because you're ashamed." Seeing this, Luc

    Silence, a deathly silence! The entire business association and all the servants witnessed it, and none of them showed anything but awe. Although the position of Mrs. Dora was indeed very high, the servants only had the duty to obey. However, many of the servants present were quite clear in their hearts about the gap between Emerald, who came from a second-tier family in Cuba, and Leon. Previously, everyone's respect and address of Mrs. Dora were entirely due to Leon's authority, and they only felt that Emerald's attendance at the business association was just a supporting role. However, now, with Emerald's solemn statement and firm tone, all the servants dared not have the slightest contempt and suddenly realized that the woman chosen by the young master could not be simple! At this moment, Ada's Lewis stood up and broke the silence. "According to the Arrision family rules, those who violate them must be expelled from the family." "Those who are audacious, disrespectful,

    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
