"Leo, what's going on?"

"Why did you hang up the phone and not come to the New Forest Chamber of Commerce in person?"

"Are you hiding something or did Leon catch you in a compromising position?" Adeline was extremely anxious and repeatedly questioned Leo over the phone, in front of Avril. Leo was extremely frustrated on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't bring himself to tell Adeline and her

daughter the truth.

He didn't want the entire Arrision family to know that he had been played by Leon to such an extent. So, Leo had to maintain his Composure and put on a show, explaining forcefully, "Actually, I've known all along that Leon bought off Linton.

Leon wants to use this to delay the situation and cover up the truth that l'm still alive. He said he

cared about it a lot, so I went along with

his plan and turned the tables on him!"

Adeline was taken aback. "Turn the

tables on him?" Avril was so anxious that she was

about to lose her mind. "Brother, at this

point, is there any need for this? I really

wish Leon would just die already."

Leo's mouth twitched, and he had

to continue to explain forcefully, "If

you're ina hurry, you'll lose. This is a big

game I've set up. What I want is this

kind of effect. In the end, I want Leon

to taste the real bitter fruit of his

actions and pay the price for his evil

deeds."

"But.." Adeline was unwilling to

accept it and pouted.

"Do you not believe in my abilities?

What can a bastard like him do?

Compared to me, Leo, Leon and Linton are just acting. I'm

also acting!" Leo's tone was

resolute, but he was almost going

crazy on the other end of the phone.

"Well then, let's do it your way. But you

really should have talked to us

beforehand. You've made us lose face

today." Adeline couldn't help but

complain.

"Mom, haste makes waste. Leon

fought with you, how can I let him off so

easily? Of course, I have to torture him

step by step until he dies!" Leo said

convincingly. Adeline calmed down and took a

deep breath, nodding solemnly. "Then

I'll wait a little longer."

"Brother, it's all up to you this time. I'm

waiting for your good show!" Avril's

mood lifted, and she began to look

forward to it again, thinking to herself,

"Leon, you fool, you fell for it and

thought you were clever."

At noon that day, Linton left

the Chamber of Commerce and

returned to his hotel. As soon as he

entered, he saw the mess around him,

everything was smashed and broken.

Leo was sitting on the sofa, his

mood changing rapidly, his eyes filled

with strong anger. He slammed the

table and stood up, shouting, "You dare

to come back!" Linton trembled all over, his

face twisted in pain. He walked up to

Leo, bent down ninety degrees, and

tremblingly said, "Young Master, it was

Leon who forced me to do this. I had

no choice,"

"So you can cooperate with Leon and

deliberately scheme against me?" Leo was furious, ignoring other issues,

and directly treated Linton

as a punching bag to vent his anger,

punching and kicking him.

"Young Master, if you're not happy, just

keep hitting me." Linton was

knocked to the ground and looked

pitiful. Leo stopped his hands and

scolded, "Do you know that by doing

this, the situation is completely set?

Not only can I not escape, but everyone

will think that I, Leo, am really dead.

Even if the news reaches my

grandmother, she may not think that I

am still alive, but rather that my mother

İs putting on a show!" Linton staggered to his feet

and sighed, "Actually, Leon's intention

is not just this. The real purpose of

what he did is that he can make you

live or die. He just wants to torture you

on purpose, so.."

"So what?" Leo's face tightened.

"'So let's give up. Maybe we can still

save our lives from Leon. You can

follow me overseas and never come

back in this life. Leon's methods are

really too terrible. "

Leo resolutely said, "This is

impossible. I, Leo, cannot give up

like this."

Just as he finished speaking, a figure

walked in from outside. This figure was

none other than Freya.

"My young master at home asked me

to pass on a message. He wants you to

keep up this attitude and not give up.

Giving up won't be fun, especially since

it's still some time before the old lady's

80th birthday. My young master

doesn't want to be bored until then,"

Freya relayed the message,

leaving Leo with a pale face. Linton shrank his neck and

avoided eye contact, his heart

pounding. He even felt that following

Leon, Freya had unknowingly

gained immense authority and

intimidation.

"Representative Linton, did I hear you

correctly just now? Did you say that

you were forced to do this by my young

master and not of your own volition?"

Freya stared at him.

Linton was instantly

suffocated and lost his initial

momentum. He stuttered and avoided

eye contact.

"Hmm?" Freya raised his left

brow. Linton couldn't hold his

composure and quickly walked up to

Freya, putting on a stiff smile and

bowing,"Manager Freya, I was just joking

earlier. I will naturally follow Young

Master Leon's orders."

"Linton, you..." Leo's eyes

bulged in disbelief. Linton immediately put on a

show and shouted, "Who do you think

you are? You're just a coward. How dare

you challenge Young Master Leon?

You're simply courting death. If I were

you, I would have jumped off the

balcony and died!"

Leo couldn't take it anymore and

exploded, "l'll kill you, you scum!"

But Linton was faster and

slapped Leo, leaving him dizzy.

Then, he stepped on Leo's face and

spat, "You think you can beat me? |

advise you to be more sober. If it

weren't for Young Master Leon not

wanting you to die so soon, I would

have killed you and shown my loyalty to

him!"

Leo was left stunned, with his face

pressed against the floor. He couldn't

believe that he, the young master of the

Arrision family, had been humiliated to this extent. This was an unprecedented

experience for him!

"William, please convey a message

for me. Tell the young master not to

worry. I will stay here and monitor Leo's every move, making it impossible

for him to escape." While stepping on

Leo, Linton patted his

chest and made a solemn promise,

which looked extremely comical.

    Not long after the reception of the Chamber of Commerce ended, Leon and his team arrived at the medical center. After this period of rest, Adeline's condition had almost recovered, and she could already get out of bed and walk around. However, due to the tense situation, for safety reasons, Adeline's range of activity was also very small, limited to within the medical center. When she saw Leon leading Stevin and Luca walking into the medical center gate, Adeline's, who was wearing a patient's gown, was stunned for a moment, and then a strong surprise appeared on her face as she walked up to them quickly. "Sister!" Adeline grabbed Stevin's hands. "Adeline, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still recognize me as your sister!" Stevin's eyes were red and she felt heartbroken. For this long-awaited reunion, Adeline couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude and said, "If it weren't for you guys back then, secretly coming to Cuba to help us, I and Leon pr

    "Yes, you are so annoying!" "Don't think that just because you helped me out of good will, I will be grateful to you. From beginning to end, I, Leon, have never asked for your help, nor do I need it!" "So, please don't be presumptuous!" Leon picked up his teacup, his expression becoming extremely cold. Audrey stood still, feeling as if he had been struck a heavy blow. His face couldn't help but turn pale, and his emotions were fluctuating violently. Finally, Audrey's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them as he looked at Leon with resentment and said, "Fine, I'll leave Cuba tonight and go back to Panama to cancel the engagement. From now on, you and | have nothing to do with each other." "l couldn't ask for more!" Leon nodded. "Don't regret it." Audrey clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. "I have no reason to regret it. This is exactly what I wanted." Leon calmly sipped his hot tea. "Okay, that's what you said!" Audrey

    The next day, Audrey left early and arrived at the Chamber of Commerce once again. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw a row of specialized chamber of commerce cars, which was quite imposing. "Freya, what!'s going on here?" Audrey quickly walked up and grabbed Freya. "Miss Audrey, didn't you leave Cuba already?" Freya was taken aback. "I was just angry last night. f I really left Cuba, wouldn't Leon have won over me?" Audrey raised her chin slightly. "I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. Since he wants to rack his brains to drive me away, then I'll stay here and make him regret it." Freya couldn't help but smile wryly. "It seems that Miss Audrey still cares about our young master. I thought you would have left already." Audrey made a strange expression and pursed her lips. "I did plan to leave, but then I thought about it carefully. I can't be so embarrassed. Otherwise, what's the difference between leaving in a panic?" Freya sighed helplessly. "Act

    Facing Leon's dominance, Audrey was helpless. Especially when Leon started hitting him in front of Freya, he showed no mercy. Leon swung his big hand, causing Audrey to feel extreme pain, as if his butt was blooming like a flower, making a loud sound. Audrey was in a mess, unable to resist the pain that Swept over him. He was crying on the spot, feeling both innocent and ashamed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. "You can't do this, young master!" Freya saw that things were not going well and quickly stepped forward to stop Leon. But Leon pushed Freya away and continued to beat Audrey recklessly. "Leon, you are not human!" Audrey's face was full of resentment. Leon suddenly increased his strength and said, "If that's the case, then don't treat me like a human being." "l just told you that I came to the New Forest Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Haggard family to express our stance. By beating me like this, you are undoubtedly destroying the relationship between us!

    After finishing the call, Audrey felt extremely aggrieved. She was the most innocernt one this time, but it seemed like she had done something wrong! What was even more unacceptable was that Mac had emphasized three times on the phone just now that she must change her previous behavior and be a submissive woman in front of Leon in the future! This was simply outrageous! In addition, in order to restore the reputation of the Haggard's family, Mac had specially arranged for someone to come to Cuba for several days. This person was none other than the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, Mac's right-hand man, Bailey! Bailey's position within the Haggard's family was second to none, highly respected, and even known as "Master Bailey". Even Audrey had to behave like a junior in front of Bailey and not act recklessly! "I can't believe that Master Bailey has to come to Cuba this time." "Once Master Bailey arrives, won't I be unable to say anything in front of Le

    Time passed by! Standing at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, it had been two hours already. Audrey stood with aching back and sore waist, looking extremely impatient. On the other hand, Bailey, dressed in a Tang suit, remained calm and composed, with his hands behind his back. Audrey couldn't help but persuade him, "Bailey, why don't we just give up waiting? It's been such a long time, when will we be able to see him?" "Leon is clearly trying to show off. I could tolerate being humiliated by him before, but I cant let you suffer with me," Audrey continued. Bailey raised his hand slowly and patted Audrey's shoulder, explaining with a meaningful tone, "Audrey, as I've told you before, we cannot act impulsively when dealing with Leon. You must understand that he is not an ordinary person. The more he behaves like this, the more we have to do the opposite. This is the correct choice." "But..." Audrey pouted. "Don't say 'but'. You must realize that we are

    "Hasn't Leo already died?" "Before, you deliberately acted in front of Stevin in the Chamber of Commerce, causing such absurd things. Do you think I don't know?" "And Linton, who has already publicly declared, why deceive yourselves here?" Bailey's eyebrows raised, his eyes becoming strange. "That scum Linton was just bought by Leon. In fact, my brother Leo didn't die at all. This is a fact." Adeline was confident in her words. Avril confidently praised, "Actually, from beginning to end, it was all my brother Leo's deliberately arranged death trap, just to make Leon jump higher and fall harder. He already knew that Linton was bought. If you don't believe it, you can ask Audrey if my brother is still alive!" Sure enough, Bailey's expression changed immediately. He moved his gaze away and looked at Audrey beside him, asking, "Audrey, is this true or false?" Looking at the mother and daughter's posture, Audrey felt extremely ridiculous. It turned out that they s

    In this situation, Adeline was completely out of her depth. She had thought that Leo was hiding in the background to plan his revenge. Who would have thought that the truth would be so unexpected! Adeline couldn't imagine what fate awaited Leo, who had become a pawn in someone else's hands. But the person in front of her was the bastard she hated the most, and she couldn't bring herself to beg for mercy on her knees. Adeline stood up unsteadily, her eyes full of resentment, glaring fiercely at Leon, gritting her teeth and saying, "Leon, don't think this is over. If that's the case, I don't mind making a big Scene!" Avril's face was tense, but she forced herself to remain calm and agreed, "That's right, I believe that if we make a big enough fuss, the Arrision family won't tolerate your insolence, especially Grandma!" Leon responded lightly, "If that's the case, go ahead and make a fuss. I want to see for myself how far you can go and what kind of effect you can achieve, and wh

    Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

    "What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

    With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

    That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    "Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

    With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

    Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh

    "Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

    "Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr
