Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 42

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, Adeline saw this explosive situation and secretly rejoiced.

The more Leon and Audrey fought against each other, the more advantageous it would be for her. It was undoubtedly the best time to sit back and watch the show, hoping that a big conflict would arise and ultimately lead to the cancellation of the marriage, which would be a time to reap the benefits. However, before Adeline could be happy for long, Leon's next two sentences shocked everyone!

"Unfortunately, the Haggard family is still inferior to the Harrison family. If you have the capital to climb to the top, you don't need to marry into the Arrision family, and you wouldn't have agreed so readily."

"In essence, this marriage is a bargain for your Haggard's family. You are the one who is trying to climb up, so don't be too arrogant!" With Leon's words, everyone in the banquet hall was moved. Adeline held her breath, feeling even more ecstatic inside. Godfrey swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his palms and back were sweaty, feeling extremely nervous and worried about the scene in front of him.

He secretly sighed that the young master's approach would only further escalate the conflict and not be conducive to the current situation, ultimately benefiting Adeline!

As expected, Audrey's face immediately darkened: "Are you saying that I, Audrey, am trying to climb up to you, Leon?" Leon's eyebrows were sharp, and they coldly said, "How is it not trying to climb up? You should feel lucky to be engaged to me, not showing such an attitude in front of me. You should know that I have the right to divorce you at any time!"

"Leon you have a big mouth!" Audrey stared at him. Leon said, "I'm just telling the truth. I believe that Haggard's family also attaches great importance to this marriage. If there are any problems between us, it will be difficult for you to handle them. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to Cuba so actively. Am I wrong?" For a moment, Audrey's face changed slightly.

In recent years, with the gradual repair of the relationship between the two major families, business cooperation has become more frequent. In the world of aristocratic families, everything is based on interests. Once the face is torn apart and returned to the previous relationship, it is indeed a huge loss for Haggard's family, and the gap will only widen.

After all, the foundation of the Arrision family is indeed larger than that of the Haggard family. In the limited resources situation, Haggard's family has no choice but to marry into the Arrision family if they want to gain greater upward space. Audrey solemnly said, "But you have to understand that this is a transaction from beginning to end, and there is no emotion between you and me."

Leon smiled, "I completely agree with you. Since this is a transaction, we must abide by the rules of the transaction!"

"What rules?" Audrey narrowed his eyes. Leon spoke sternly, "This transaction will be paid with you marrying into the Arrision family, which just shows that Haggard's family is the weaker side." "And once you enter the Arrision family, you must abide by the Arrision family's rules, obey the three obediences and four virtues, be faithful to your husband, and not challenge me in front of mine. So the one who should be careful in words and deeds is you!" The words left them speechless and unable to refute.

Even Audrey, with his exceptional skills, found himself at a loss for words. Philip was taken aback at first, but quickly regained his composure and stood up, gesturing towards Leon."So, Leon, are you agreeing to this marriage proposal now?" Seeing Philip present, Leon was not surprised at all and replied calmly, "As the young master of the Arrision family, it is my responsibility to take on this important matter of alliance.

However, with this alliance comes the need to abide by our family rules."

"You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already making a scene here, speaking with disrespect. What kind of decorum is that?"Philips's eyes widened in disbelief. He had not expected Leon to make such a statement. Could it be that Leon intended to break off his engagement with Emerald? No... that couldn't be right.

It didn't seem like Leon's style!

At this moment, not only Philip but also Adam's family, father and son, were completely confused as to what kind of tactics Leon was using and what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. "But before that, I have another matter that I need to tell you all about." Leon suddenly changed the subject. Audrey couldn't help feeling a sense of suffocation and asked through gritted teeth, "What matter?" Leon then reached into his clothes and pulled out a marriage certificate, placing it directly on the table.

All eyes immediately converged on it. When they saw the photo of Leon and Emerald on the marriage certificate, along with the specific wedding date, the spacious banquet hall fell into a suffocating silence in an instant. Even Audrey was stunned!

Leon said, "This afternoon, I have officially registered for marriage with Emerald. I'm sorry for informing you all so late, but I think it's not too late yet." Haley looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?" Adeline was confused and her mind went blank. "Leon, what are you doing?"

"I do have a marriage arrangement, but did I ever say that Audrey is my wife, who I will marry with a grand procession? Sorry, from the moment I entered the door, I was not here to marry a wife, but to take a concubine!" Leon's words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone.

"Take...take a concubine? You want me, Audrey, to be your concubine?" Audrey couldn't believe it, her expression suddenly changed, feeling ashamed and humiliated. With a loud noise, the banquet hall was like a thunderous ground, shaking endlessly.

Haley was stunned in place, even forgetting the pain on his face. Adeline's eyes bulged out, shocked beyond measure, and finally realized it. Godfrey slapped his forehead, realizing belatedly the young master's plan!

On the surface, the young master seemed to have agreed to this marriage, but in fact, he was not. He was using the name of taking a concubine to force Audrey to make a choice, either to call off the marriage or become a concubine. This marriage certificate was the best proof, otherwise the young master would not have chosen to register it today.

The most crucial point was that if anyone in the Arrision family objected to the young master's behavior, he could claim that he was doing it to demonstrate the status of the Arrision family and for the future of the Arrision family.

Because if Audrey became his wife instead of a concubine, with power and external support, she might conspire against the Arrision family in the future. What would happen then? As the saying goes, beware of the thief who comes in the night. With such a great family business, It was fake to say that the Haggard family had no desire for it.

That's also why the young master emphasized from the beginning that this marriage was a way for the Haggard family to climb higher to establish the hierarchy and make everything go smoothly.

Therefore, the young master's move to take a concubine was impeccable and beyond reproach, even the old madam Would have done the same. It was truly a brilliant and even wise decision.

At this moment, Godfrey felt ashamed of his previous worries and was filled with a strong sense of admiration. Looking back at the young master's journey, it was as if he had fulfilled the saying, "A golden dragon is not a fish in a pond; it will transform into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds!"
