In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

Coco sat in the car in the parking lot of the Chamber of Commerce building, still wearing an incredible expression, feeling amazed by everything that had happened throughout the day.

No matter how much she pondered, Coco couldn't come to a definite conclusion. The fact that Leon had been promoted and gained the trust of Godfrey was beyond her expectations.

After all, Leon held a position of great power, with everyone under his supervision except for Godfrey himself. Anyone who violated the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, even the vice president, would be punished under his watchful eye.

Compared to Leon's status, Coco was just a lowly assistant in the personnel department, a world of

difference between them. For a moment, Coco's self-esteem was strongly unbalanced, secretly

cursing Leon for being lucky enough to have such a high position.

Just then, Leon came out of the Chamber of Commerce building, went straight to the car, and sat in the front seat. Leon showed a apologetic

expression, "Brother-in-law, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"

"There's nothing to be sorry about. You

just started your job, and it's not

normal to get off work so quickly.

Besides, you can't ride alone. After all,

your status is different now!" Lyrick smiled with great joy, feeling

happy for Leon from the bottom of his

heart.

Suddenly, Coco interjected, "Don't

be so arrogant, don't wear such a big

hat. If you can't handle the job, and get

kicked out of your position, that would

be embarrassing!"

Lyrick stopped smiling and

turned around seriously to look at Coco, "Coco, what are you talking

about? Today is a great day, you should

be happy."

"Why should I be happy for him? He

just got lucky, and besides, I'm his

cousin. Why should I give him face and

play along with his fake emotions?" Coco crossed her arms and looked

away disdainfully.

Lyrick furrowed his brows,

showing some anger. "How can you say

that?"

"I'm just trying to keep him from getting

too arrogant and complacent. I don't

believe for a second that Leon made

it to where he is now solely based on

his skills," Coco said firmly.

Leon smiled. "Cousin is right in some

ways, but don't worry, I won't get fired.

On the other hand, some people should

be careful not to give me any reason to

hold a grudge, even if we're related."

"You!" Coco was almost furious.

Lyrick quickly intervened,

saying that he had already chosen a

restaurant and they should celebrate

Leon's success. This eased the

tension in the car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a

restaurant. Lyrick

immediately ordered a lot of food and

even splurged on a bottle of top-grade

wine. The total cost of the meal was at

least 300,000 dollars.

"Is this how you usually eat,

brother-in-law?" Leon couldn't help

but feel a little uncomfortalble.

Although money had become a mere

number to him, he had grown up in

poverty and had never been

extravagant even when he had money.

"It's about the same. Today is mainly to

celebrate your success. If there's

anything you're not satisfied with, feel

free to order more. Brother-in-law will

pay!" Lyrick spoke as if

money was no object.

Leon couldn't help but laugh and cry

at the same time.

Leon knew about Lyrick's

family background, which was from a

top-tier family in Cartel. However,

although Lyrick family was

wealthy enough to handle such

expenses, who knew if there would be

any unforeseen circumstances in the

future that could cause their family

fortune to decline? Therefore, Leon

advised him, "Brother-in-law, I know

you dont care about money, but please

don't continue like this in the future.

Save where you can, because no one

knows what will happen tomorrow."

Coco was displeased and said,

"Leon, you little brat. You've only just

gained some fame and now you're

lecturing your brother-in-law? Your

brother-in-law has plenty of money, he

can't even spend it all if he breaks his

leg. Stop pretending to be something

you're not!"

Leon straightforwardly replied, "I'm

just giving some friendly advice,

because my brother-in-law has been

good to me."

"Alright, Coco, stop talking. Leon is

right. If necessary, l'll control my

spending in the future. Don't nitpick." Lyrick waved his hand.

Then, Lyrick took out his car

keys and placed them in front of Leon, saying, "Leon, your status is now

different. You must have a good car to

get around. Brother-in-law is giving you

this car!"

Coco was shocked at this gesture.

Leon smiled wryly and said,

"Brother-in-law, I haven't finished

speaking yet, and you're already doing

this?"

"This is my sincere gesture. You must

accept it!" Lyrick was

earnest.

Leon shook his head and declined

politely, "I have a position in the

Chamber of Commerce now, andl can't

accept it. Brother-in-law, please take it

back."

"This is different. It's not related to the

Chamber of Commerce's interests.

Even if people find out, they'll

understand. Everyone can understand!"

Lyrick pushed the car keys

forward again.

Leon had no choice but to accept it,

unable to resist Lyrick's

generosity.

Then, Leon said, "Brother-in-law,

please remember my words. You can't

do this again in the future. Today,

including this car, you've spent

millions!"

"Leon, shut up. You're being a

hypocrite. My brother-in-law's affairs

don't need you to worry about. But

speaking of which, if you're giving Leon a car, what about me?" Coco's

eyes lit up, looking eagerly at Lyrick Lyrick's was taken aback and

asked in surprise, "Coco, didn't I give

you eight million half a year ago, some

of which was used to buy a house to

help your parents ease their burden,

and the rest was for you to spend?

Could it be that you've spent all the

money so quickly?

"Buy a house?" Leon frowned

instantly. Lyrick replied, "Yes, I knew

about Coco's parents wanting to buy

a house half a year ago, so l planned to

help with the money, hoping to get

Coco's parents to approve of me as

their future son-in-law and get married

early."

"I..." Coco hesitated and looked

guilty.

Seeing this expression, Leon finally

understood! It turned out that Lyrick had intended to help with

the money for the new house, but the

money ended up in Coco's hands,

and she didn't spend a penny of the

eight million dollars. It was simply

ridiculous!

Leon spoke in a deep voice, "Cousin,

eally surprised me today. I don't

know if | should say it in front of

everyone."

    "Do you dare?" "Leon, don't think l won't do anything to you!" "If you push me too far, I'll fight you!" Coco slammed the table and stood up, her face full of anger and shame. Lyrick sensed something was wrong and furrowed his brows, asking, "Coco, what's going on?" "Brother-in-law, why don't I tell you? The money you gave her before, she didn't spend a single penny on buying a house. Instead, her aunt and uncle don't even know you did this in secret. I even suspect she's already spent all the money!" Lyrick's, face changed, looking incredulous. Coco panicked and grabbed Lyrick's hand, "Lyrick, let me explain!" "Fine, explain to me. Where did the eight million go?" Lyrick's tone gradually changed. But when asked this question, Coco couldn't answer and turned pale. Lyrick was furious, "Coco, I wanted to marry you, but you did this behind my back. You really disappointed me!" "Lyrick, I promise I won't do it again. Don't be angry, okay?" Coco was scared, afraid that Lyrick Would

    Upon learning of Coco's excessive behavior, Stevin remained resolute and impartial. Faced with this situation, Coco was incredulous. She never expected Stevin to take such a stance and even allowed Leon to continue to teach her a lesson. "l am your daughter, Mom!" Coco exclaimed. "How could you let an outsider teach me a lesson?" she continued. "Even if I deserve to be punished, it shouldn't be by Leon, an outsider!" Coco was filled with shame and indignation, while Stevin was furious and immediately slammed the table, rebuking Coco. "Leon is not an outsider, but you, a disgrace to our family's reputation! I let him do it, what's wrong with that?" With that, Stevin signaled for Leon to take action. Without hesitation, Leon drew his belt from his waist and began to lash Coco. The sound of the belt striking Coco's body echoed throughout the hall. Her eyes widened in pain, struggling to breathe as her face turned pale. Stevin's face was stern and she commanded, "Continue.

    "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

    "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

    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

    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

    "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

    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!"

    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
