Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 47

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. "It has everything to do with you. You are my wife now, and you have the right to participate in the Chamber of Commerce's affairs. It's also necessary for more people to know your identity, which will benefit you in the long run." Emerald immediately understood.

After all, the Arrision family was prominent, and any internal disputes could have significant consequences. Leon's reason for doing this was not just to promote the Company but also to establish her identity as the young mistress and ensure her safety.

At that time, even those with ulterior motives had to carefully consider their actions. "Leon, I feel that you have changed a lot compared to before. It seems like you have already thought ahead and prepared for everything." Emerald couldn't help but be moved.

"l once said to Ada's Lewis that from the moment I became the young master, stepping back would mean no return, even mother and child would die together. So I had to change!" Leon's eyes flickered with a cold light.

Emerald nodded in agreement!

"Indeed, we can't just sit and wait for death. But there's one thing I'm puzzled about. After the marriage proposal with Audrey, did Adeline just give up like that? Why do I feel like there's been no movement at all?" Leon shook his head slightly and explained, "Of course, Adeline won't give up so easily. The reason why you feel like there's been no movement is because Adeline's movements are not in Cuba right now but in Panama."

"Panama?" Emerald was confused. "Adeline's current situation is extremely unfavorable. Unless someone intervenes and makes the old lady pay attention, or does something to slightly turn the situation around, and according to what I know from Ada's Lewis, Adeline has probably already called for Lior this time," Leon gradually calmed down and returned to his usual carefree demeanor.

"Is this Lior very powerful?" Emerald asked nervously, furrowing her brows. Leon said lightly, "Lior's status is very high. He was once a very influential official, and even though he retired many years ago, his influence is still very great."

"Very influential official!" Hearing these four words, Emerald suddenly tensed up. Leon smiled and waved his hand at Emerald ."Lior does have a lot of power and is also Adeline's last trump card. But Adeline probably didn't expect that I'm afraid she won't play this trump card."

"So after solving the problem with Lior, Adeline should be desperate." "But for now, what we need to do is to make you attend the Chamber of Commerce meeting!" The next day, Leon and Emerald set off early from Cuba to Oz.

When the car stopped at the gate of the Arrision family's business, Emerald was shocked by the grandeur of the entire building, which was built in a retro style that resembled an ancient imperial palace, exuding an invisible majesty.

As they entered the main hall of the business, a large group of servants led by Ada's Lewis greeted them with a deep bow and called out "We, the slaves, respectfully welcome the young master!" Emerald was completely stunned by this scene, feeling like she was in a dream.

Ada's Lewis immediately noticed Emerald and bowed deeply, respectfully calling her "Madam". All the servants present were moved and bowed again, calling her "Madam" in unison.

At this moment, Emerald was completely at a loss. Although she was born into a second-tier family in Cuba, she had never received such treatment before.

Sensing Emerald's change, Leon took her hand and gave her confidence, saying solemnly, " Emerald is here to attend the business meeting with me this time. You all should remember this from now on!" The servants nodded in awe. Leon then took Emerald and sat in the main seat, and the servants did not dare to sit with them.

Emerald swallowed her saliva and tried to remain calm, reminding herself that she couldn't embarrass Leon on such an important occasion, even if she was nervous.

Leon's expression was stern as he spoke with meticulousness, "Today is a major event for the guild, and the position of vice president is particularly important. The results of the vote have already been obtained, and I will personally announce it today. However, before l do so, I would like to ask, is everyone here?" Ada's Lewis signaled, "Reporting to the young master, the Charlton family of Oz has not yet arrived!"

"Why hasn't the Charlton family of Oz come?" Leon's tone suddenly changed.

Ada's Lewis quickly explained, "The Charlton family of Oz was disqualified from the election because they violated the rules set by the young master. Therefore, the Charlton family stated that they did not have the face to come." Leon suddenly slammed the table with his hand, and thundered,

"How dare they! Is this the time to worry about face?"

"Notify the Oz Charlton family that if they do not arrive at the guild within fifteen minutes to attend this meeting, they will be immediately expelled from the guild!"

"And all of the Charlton family's project resources will be confiscated and distributed to other servant families!" As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room trembled in fear. Such a strong and authoritative aura was simply awe-inspiring, but no one dared to disobey!

Emerald finally came to her senses, her body trembling slightly. She finally understood why Leon emphasized the need for the Charlton family of Oz to be present. He wanted her, Emerald, to use the Charlton family to establish her authority as a true lady of the house in front of the many servants, rather than being a motionless vase!
