Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 54

"At the same time, Leon received a call from Ada's Lewis. Ada's Lewis reported everything without any concealment, even though he was forced to return to Rica this time, he remained loyal. After learning about the attitude of the old lady and the actions of Audrey, Leon couldn't find any surprise on his face. After hanging up the phone, Leon smiled.

Emerald had already returned to the villa at this time and asked urgently,

"Leon, what is the situation now?" Emily and Lex also surrounded

Leon curiously, breathing heavily. Leon was calm and put down the phone

slowly. After taking a sip of hot tea, he

said, "The old lady has made a

statement and will officially announce

the successor of the Arrision family at her

80th birthday in six months!" Lex scratched his head and asked,

"What does that mean?" Emily

rolled her eyes and said, "You fool,

don't you understand? Although Leon

was the young master before, the Arrision

family did not officially announce it.

Once it is officially announced, the

inheritance right will be settled and will

never change again!" Emerald asked

in confusion, "Why did the old lady

make this decision? Isn't Lior

very influential? Could it be that Haggard's

family helped Leon?" Leon

explained while drinking tea, "Audrey did use his connections to help

me once, but in fact, even if Haggard's family

didn't help, the result would be the

same. Audrey's actions only

accelerated the time for the old lady to

make this decision." Lex was

holding a walnut in his hand and was

so anxious that he almost crushed it.

He urged, "Leon, can you speak

directly and not beat around the bush?

Can you say something that I can

understand?" Seeing this situation, Leon couldn't help laughing. He stood up

slowly and said, "In fact, everything is

quite simple from beginning to end,

and it is not as difficult as you think.

The old lady canceled my position as

young master and president, not

because of Lior's influence!"

Lex's face was urgent, "Then

what is it?"

Leon said, "It's because the Arrision family

wants to use me to completely get rid

of Lior's influence. Otherwise,

whenever the Arrision family is involved

with anything related to Lior,

they will be at a loss. That's the real

reason why the situation has become

like this!"

Upon hearing this, Lex finally

understood and slapped his forehead,

exclaiming, "I see now! The old lady is

targeting you on the surface, but

actually wants you to retreat and start

anew, to directly defeat Avril and

give you half a year until her 80th

birthday to make Lior speechless!"

"The old lady's strategy is quite

impressive and bold. No wonder Caleb, as the head of the Arrision family, still

has to consider the old lady's

opinions!" Emily swallowed

nervously.

Leon's eyes flickered with a gleam.

"That's why I said all of this is within my

expectations and suits me perfectly.

However, the old lady has overlooked

one thing: I won't cooperate easily!"

"This time, l'm not starting a new

branch for the Arrision family, but for myself,

Leon. The old lady has no right to

meddle in my affairs!"

Emerald couldn't help but smile and

say, "No wonder there were such big

changes in the Chamber of Commerce

before. You didn't change at all. I

understand now. This is undoubtedly a

great opportunity."

Emily decisively patted his chest

and said, "Leon, we're family now. If

you need any help, just speak up. We'lI

do our best, because we don't want to

hold you back." Lex rolled up his sleeves and

said as if going to war, "Yes, we'll go all

out and fight to the end."

Leon smiled and said, "There is

indeed one thing that I need your help

with. Emerald and I have already

registered and gotten married for

several days, but not many people

actually know about it. You've been

keeping it a secret to avoid affecting

me,"

"So this time, feel free to tell everyone

that I, Leon, am your son-in-law. Set a

date and send out wedding invitations

to all parties!"

"l want to hold a grand wedding in Cuba and let Emerald marry me

in a glorious way!"

Leon hugged Emerald, showing

unprecedented solemnity.

Emerald felt surprised and overjoyed,

blushing uncontrollably and brimming

with excitement.

Emily immediately laughed

heartily and said, "This is great! I've

been wanting people to know that

you're my son-in-law for a long time." Lex was ecstatic, "I've always

wanted to show off in front of my

friends. Hahaha, it looks like I finally

have the chance!"

Emerald couldn't resist her curiosity

and asked, "Leon, is there any other

meaning behind holding a wedding

ceremony?"

"There is indeed another meaning, but

the most important thing is that I, Leon, want to give you a proper status!"

Leon said solemnly.

The newS quickly spread the next day.

Upon learning that Leon was going to

hold a wedding ceremony, Audrey

was dumbfounded. Even the butler Haley was so angry that he cursed on

the spot. "Damn it, this Leon is a

bastard, is he doing this on purpose?"

"Miss, you used your connections to

help him yesterday, but now he's

announcing to the public that he's

going to marry Emerald?"

"I think this Leon doesn't know how to

appreciate kindness. It's a waste of

your help, Miss. It's like a dog biting the

hand that feeds it. He doesn't know

how to appreciate good people!" Audrey was full of grievances and complex emotions. She never expected

Leon to be so indifferent, as if in his

eyes, there was no one else but Emerald, an ordinary woman.

Driven by her strong desire to win, Audrey decisively went to Leon's room next door to confront him. But

when she got there, the door was

locked and there was no one inside. Leon had long gone out!

"Leon, it's not over between us!"

Audrey clenched her fists, her nails

sinking into her palms. She was so

stimulated that her whole body was

trembling. She could no longer

maintain her previous noble demeanor.

At this moment, her expression was

more like that of a resentful woman

who had overturned a vinegar jar.
