Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 82

The next day, news about Leo was passed back to Panama by Adeline. Upon learning about the incident, the Arrision family did not show any signs of shock but rather remained skeptical

about it.

Prior to this, the Arrision family had already known about the absurd incident that Adeline had caused in the New Forest Trading Association in

front of Stevin.

Most people believed that Leo's existence was baseless and that Adeline was simply putting on a show with a dead person because he had no other options.

So far, no one in the Arrision family had seen Leo, and the most crucial point was that Adeline could not produce any

concrete evidence and could not even

contact Leo as his phone was

unreachable. However, due to Leo's

special identity and the significant

impact of the matter, the Arrision family had to hold an internal meeting, led by the old lady, to discuss the matter.

It was only after the meeting ended

that they finally came to a conclusion.

Meanwhile, when Adeline, who was in Cuba, learned about the meeting's

result, he was infuriated.

"The old lady actually personally stated

that this matter is entirely groundless?

Unless I produce concrete evidence?"

Adeline exclaimed. "Most importantly,

the Arrision family did not send anyone to

investigate this matter but instead

warned me not to act recklessly?"

"Why did the old lady, who loves Leo the most, become like this?" Adeline could not believe that the situation

had escalated to this point, which was

beyond his imagination.

"Mom, what should we do now? After

all, we really don't have any evidence

and can't find out where he is.

Moreover, with what happened before,

it's really hard to make the Arrision family

believe us. If we continue like this, that

damn illegitimate child, Leon, might

do something." Avril stood beside

Adeline feeling anxious.

Adeline clenched her teeth in

frustration. "If the old lady has already

made her position clear, what else can

we do besides asking your grandfather

for help?"

"But after the last incident,

Grandfather's influence in Spring Province was hit by Leon, and he

hasn't been in his position for a long

time. Even if he personally intervenes, it

may not be effective in this place," Avril said, pursing her lips.

"You are spineless. Your grandfather

hasn't even arrived yet, and you're

already saying such discouraging

words," Adeline said urgently.

"Last time, Leon did cleverly use

tactics and the situation to hit your

grandfather's reputation and status in

Spring Province," Avril admitted.

"But no matter what, your grandfather

is not an ordinary person. His

connections are not limited to just Spring Province. No matter how

bold Leon is, he wouldn't dare to act

recklessly in front of your grandfather!"

Avril had a bad feeling and said,

"But I always feel that things won't go

so smoothly."

Angered, Adeline raised her hand

and slapped Avril's face, scolding

her, "Shut up! We have no way out now.

Besides relying on your grandfather, we

have no other choice!" Avril covered her face and shrank

her neck, as if she were a quail, too

Scared to make a sound.

Adeline took a deep breath,

calmed down, and decisively dialed

Lior's phone number.

The phone was quickly answered by a

hoarse and serious voice. "I have

received the news and am already on

my way to Cuba!"

"That damn bastard actually dared to

capture my Lior's grandson. I

will definitely not let him off lightly!"

Hearing this, Adeline was

immediately excited and said,

"Grandfather, why don't you ask me if

this is true or not?"

Lior spoke firmly, "You have

already spread the news to the Arrision

family. How could it be false? The Arrision family doesn't believe you, but I do. You wouldn't joke about something like this."

"Well, that's great. After you arrive in

Cuba, Avril and I will come to

pick you up immediately!" Adeline's breathing became rapid as

she thought that Lior must

have come prepared this time.

In the blink of an eye, it was already

noon. Adeline and Avril were waiting at

the airport exit, showing their utmost

respect.

A dignified old man with white hair and

several followers walked out, looking

stern.

As soon as Adeline saw the old man,

she hurriedly approached him, unable

to conceal her eagerness in her eyes.

Avril showed respect on her face

and said, "Grandfather!" Lior face was gloomy as he

nodded at the mother and daughter.

"Do you know where Leo is now? Or

can you still contact him?" Adeline clenched her fists. "We can't

contact him at all. Please save Leo.

He is my beloved son." Lior snorted, "Leo is not

only your beloved son, but also my

precious grandson. I cried for him

when he had an accident overseas.

Now that he is back alive, he has fallen

into the hands of a wild bastard!" Avril swallowed her saliva and

asked, "Grandfather, how do you plan

to deal with Leon? He is not an

ordinary person."

"No matter how capable he is, does he

dare to mess around in front of me?

Even if he is capable, he is still

immature. If I, Lior, want to

deal with him, he will have to stand up

and take it!" Lior said fiercely. Avril was impatient. "Are you going

to ask him directly for Leo?"

"Yes, today I, Lior, am here.

Whether he wants to give it or not, he

has to give it. Unless Leon, this little

bastard, has the guts to challenge me!"

Lior said in a commanding

tone, then waved his hand and headed

straight to the New Forest Chamber of

Commerce.

Adeline and Avril looked at each

other, feeling more excited than ever

before.

What Lior said was true. Leon was indeed immature and, in terms

of identity, status, and relationship, Lior was always superior!

Although Leon had used some

means to strike and change the

direction of relationships in the Kertania

area, many of Lior loyal

followers outside of Kertania remained

willing to serve him, including those in

the Kaelonia and Kertania regions. If

the New Chamber of Commerce

wanted to expand its influence by

establishing branches in these two

areas, it would have to pass Lior's test first. If Lior's and

the Arrision family completely broke off

their relationship, the consequences

would be beyond what Leon could

bear. Even the old lady had to carefully

consider it. Therefore, when Lior personally came to Cuba

to request someone, Leon had no

choice but to comply.

With a resentful sneer, Adeline

said, "l want to see what Leon can do

this time." Avril couldn't wait to see

Leon fail and suffer.

"If Leon doesn't hand over the person

with Grandpa here, he may end up in a

bad situation. Grand pa won't tolerate

such insolence from a wild seed.

Although Leon is tough, my grandpa

is even tougher," Avril said eagerly.
