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 already stunned, stiff all over, and no longer dared to underestimate Leon.

Leon calmly reached out and slowly took back the marriage certificate on the table. "I have already said it before. As for whether you agree or not, that is your own business. I, Leon, have never forced anyone, so you better think carefully." Hearing this, Audrey felt an unprecedented humiliation. Haley's face turned pale. "Miss, shall we leave first?"

"Leon, you surprised me, but don't think that this matter will end so quickly," Audrey gritted his teeth and stood up, full of anger as he turned and left. After Audrey left, Godfrey couldn't help but bow deeply in front of Leon, showing great respect.

"Young Master is wise!"

"With this move, Audrey will surely be in a dilemma!" "This old servant truly admires you from the bottom of my heart!" The figures around them saw this scene and quickly echoed.

Especially Freya, who deliberately looked at Adeline and shouted, "Some people have ulterior motives, trying to disrupt the situation and deliberately cause trouble for the young master. Little do they know that the young master's strategy is not something that a clown can easily figure out!"

Adeline's face turned black upon hearing this and couldn't help but become angry. She slammed the table and cursed, "Leon, you better not be too proud. Just like what Audrey said, the matter is not over yet. I don't believe that your grandmother will let you do this!" Freya timely inserted, "Madam, I can't help but interject at this point.

The young master's actions, this time, are deliberately emphasizing the superiority of the Arrision family over the Haggard family. Moreover, if the Haggard family agrees, it will be of great benefit to the Harrison family. How could the old lady blame the young master? In my opinion, she should praise the young master. l advise you not to deceive yourself anymore!" Freya's expression was full of joy.

"That's right. From the beginning until now, everything the young master has done is for the sake of the Arrision family. Especially in front of the Haggard's family, he wants to make it clear who is strong and who is weak. It's not as simple as thinking that they can take advantage of the marriage alliance. Even if the engagement is ultimately canceled, no one can deny the young master's actions!" At this moment, Avril, who had witnessed the whole process, hoped to be completely extinguished.

She couldn't help but retreat in her heart and her face was pale as she pulled Adeline and whispered, "Mom, why don't we just..."

"You shut up!"

Adeline suddenly became angry. "Mom, let's forget it. It's useless," Avril's face was as white as paper. Do you want me to give up in front of so many people? What a joke! You are such a spineless person!" Adeline was so angry that her forehead was full of blue veins. Leon smiled with interest, "Mother and daughter are already in disagreement so soon?"

"Leon, it was our fault before. Please let's turn over a new leaf since we are all family. I, Avril, promise not to Compete with you for the inheritance." Avril looked extremely panicked.

"You have to have the ability to do so!" Leon said coldly. Adeline's mouth twitched, feeling humiliated. She raised her hand in anger and slapped Adeline hard, "Shut up, Avril! Do you have no shame? Begging Leon for mercy!" This slap sent Avril's falling to the ground, making the scene look very comical.

Avril didn't care about anything else and immediately grabbed onto Leon's pants, kneeling in front of him and pleading, "Leon, I was foolish, but I won't do it again. If I give up, my mother will be useless no matter what. Please give me one more chance." "When you were in the Chamber of Commerce, didn't you give those servants a chance?" Leon sneered.

"You are my half-sister. How can you compare yourself to servants? How can I, as your elder brother, not give you a chance? I suggest that as long as you sever ties with Adeline and fully support me within the Arrision family, I will not hold it against you. How about it?"

Severe ties!

Adeline widened her eyes, "How dare you?" "Mom, please don't persist in your wrongdoings. Do you not understand that things have developed to this point? Do you have to stubbornly hold on and continue like this? Do you know that your actions will eventually harm people?" Avril trembled as she spoke.

Adeline was so angry that she almost bit her tongue. She cursed, "You bastard, I raised you for nothing. If you dare to listen to Leon, I will disown you!"

"l don't want to continue like this anymore because | don't want to be a sacrificial lamb. I don't want to die without even knowing how I died. Since you insist on being indifferent, I have no choice but to sever ties with you according to Leon's words," Avril said with a trembling voice.

"You!" Adeline's nails dug into her palms, feeling both angry and humiliated. Leon raised his hand and interrupted the argument between the mother and daughter.

He smiled and said, "Alright, alright. How could I possibly let you two break apart? That would be too cruel. I was just joking around. Seeing you two like this is hilarious. In my opinion, you should just stay together."

"Joking? You..." Avril was stunned and humiliated. "You disgraceful thing, come with me right now!" Adeline stepped forward and twisted Avril's ear, dragging her away in anger. Godfrey shuddered and bowed again, praising,

"Young master, that was a brilliant move to create a rift between the mother and daughter. But if you push Adeline too far, what will | happen?" "I'm waiting for her to jump the wall in desperation!" Leon's eyes flashed with lightning.

    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, everyone was caught off guard. Bernie, as the hot favorite, only got one vote. And Dean, who followed closely behind, got zero votes! This voting result was really surprising. Godfrey was at a loss and couldn't figure out why the votes disappeared into thin air. Leon scanned the audience again and announced straightforwardly, "The total number of votes for this election is sixty, all from the major servant families in Bahamas Province. Clair family in Oz got one vote, the Gold family in Thule got two votes, and the Tolu family in Narnia got three votes! The remaining fifty-four votes all go to Adam's family in Cuba! " " Wow!" As soon as the voting result was announced, a shocked voice echoed throughout the room. The servants looked at each other in surprise and realized that they had almost all voted for Adam's family in Cuba, which helped Godfrey win the position of vice president. Bernie was stunned, his eyes bulging. "Old Godfrey, you didn

    The inheritance is temporarily undecided, and the young master's identity has been stripped away. In addition, the power of the Chamber of Commerce has also been revoked. The people present were shocked by this decision, which was an intentional suppression. Godfrey's expression was serious. He had just been appointed as the vice president, which should have been a happy moment. However, in the blink of an eye, he was faced with such a huge change. He couldn't help but speak up, "Master Leon, I know I shouldn't interfere, but since Young Master Leon became the heir, everything he has done has been impeccable. In fact, in many ways, it has been beneficial to the Arrision family and has caused no harm." "Isn't it unreasonable to target the young master like this? Caleb stood with his hands behind his back, pretending to be helpless. He then sighed, "This is the decision of the old lady. It involves Lior, so we have no choice but to do this. Although I am the head of the A

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?"

    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.

    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.

    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
