Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 53

Leon's attitude was simply

incomprehensible to Audrey. The

situation was clear: without the

support of his position as the young

master and the Haggard's family, Leon had no

chance of successfully taking over and

ascending to power. After all, with Lior's influence, Leon could only

turn to the Haggard's family to turn the tide.

However, the realityy was completely

different from what he had imagined.

"I haven't even said that I dislike you,

but you're the one who dislikes me?" Audrey said incredulously.

Leon waved his hand as if to dismiss

him. "Can't I dislike you? Or do you

think that just because of your superior

background, you won't be disliked by

anyone? l advise you to leave Cuba

as soon as possible, instead of

wandering around in front of me like a

fly."

"Leon, you really don't know what's

good for you!" Haley was furious.

"I don't need outsiders to judge

whether I know what's good for me or

not, and you don't have the right to do

so either," Leon said coldly.

"I think you're just asking for trouble. If I

don't teach you a lesson today, you

won't even know how to spell the word

'regret!" Haley was about to

attack, thinking that Leon was no

longer the young master and didn't

need to worry too much. He could take

advantage of this opportunity to teach

Leon a lesson and vent his anger.

But before he could make a move, Audrey raised her hand to stop him.

Haley was taken aback. "Miss,

what are you doing?"

"Don't mess around. You've lost face for

me, Audrey. I can't act recklessly

and unreasonably like this. I won't just

hit someone for no reason!" Audrey

reprimanded him sternly.

"Yes, Miss," Haley gritted his

teeth, feeling frustrated and nowhere to

vent.

Then, Haley smiled again and said

to Leon, "I know that the request for

you to marry into our family may be a

bit excessive. If you don't want to, you

don't have to. A normal marriage is also

fine. But let me make it clear that |

won't follow your Arrision family's rules. At

most, I'll just put on a show when

necessary."

Leon shook his head in disgust."I find

you really annoying. You keep insisting

on something that has been

emphasized so many times."

"If it weren't for this marriage proposal,

I wouldn't even want to look at you, let

alone marry you. You must be

dreaming if you think I would marry

you," Leon said firmly before closing

the door and walking away.

This response left Audrey stunned,

while Haley's was so angry that he

stood outside the door and started to

curse. "Leon, you are nothing! How

dare you refuse my lady's proposal

time and time again!"

But when Leon opened the door

again and asked, "Now that I'm out,

how do you plan to deal with me?" Haley was too intimidated to do

anything. Leon closed the door and

went back inside.

Audrey was still shaking from the

encounter and couldn't understand

why someone could be so despicable

and arrogant. Haley suggested

that they leave Cuba, but Audrey refused. She was determined

to stay and even use her family's

connections to help Leon, just so he

Would owe her a debt.

Haley swallowed his saliva and

lowered his voice, "Miss, you don't

really...like Leon, do you?"

"Nonsense, what are you talking about?

Leon is an arrogant jerk. How couldI

like him? My dealings with him are

purely for my own benefit. I'm helping

him now because it's in my own

interest!" Audrey sneered.

"Miss, the way you say that, I can't help

but feel like you're lying," Haley

squinted suspiciously.

Audrey said seriously, "Why would|

lie? That bastard Leon has no right to

my affection. If it weren't for the

interests of my family, I wouldn't even

bother with him."

"Don't get any funny ideas. I just want

Leon to owe me so much that he'll

never dare to show that expression in

front of me again. Like I said before, I

want to beat him fair and square!" Haley reminded her earnestly, "Miss,

it's better to be like this. Otherwise, if

you willingly become Leon's mistress

someday, it'll be a huge joke. I can't

bear to see you suffer any injustice,

Miss."

"Absolutely impossible!" Audrey

said firmly.

Night!

Audrey and her daughter, who were in

the Chamber of Commerce, received

shocking news.

Audrey had used her connections

with the Haggard's family to stand up for Leon!

The old lady's side was starting to

waver, but because of Lior's

influence, no decision had been made

yet!

When they heard this, Adeline and her

daughter were dumbfounded.

The position of the president hadn't

even warmed up yet, and there was

already a change?

What was even more unbelievable was

that it was Adeline who stood up for

Leon!

"If the old lady really changes her mind

again, wouldn't it be a waste of a day's

hard work?" Avril was anxious and

uneasy, her face full of panic.

Adeline looked surprised. "I dont

know either. It's completely

unreasonable. It's obvious that Audrey shouldn't be helping him, and I was even planning to see Audrey

and ruin the marriage myself."

"Mom, could it be that Audrey really

likes Leon?" Avril's heart trembled.

"That's impossible. With Audrey's

personality, how could she like Leon?

And you know how Leon humiliated

her and wanted her to be his mistress!" Adeline shook her head

vigorously.

"But what if Audrey just happens to

like Leon?" Avril said. "You may not

know, but some people are just strange

like that. The more they are ignored

and not cared about, the more they will

compete."

Adeline was speechless for a

moment, feeling incredulous.

"Do you think there will be any real

changes this time? You should know

that the Haggard's family is still influential!" Avril's voice began to tremble.

Adeline's heart was in her throat,

and she was more nervous than ever

before. "With things like this, I don't

know what to do. We can only wait for

your grandmother's decision!"
