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. We won't stop until she admits her mistake!"

"Yes, Auntie!" Leon responded,

swinging the belt in the air and striking Coco repeatedly. She was unable

to dodge the blows and was left rolling

on the floor in agony, her appearance

disheveled and pitiful. She was on the

verge of collapse, tears streaming

down her face as she let out a piercing Scream.

However, Leon showed no mercy, and

the sound of the belt continued to ring

out, unrelenting.

The beating lasted for two full minutes.

Coco was left covered in bruises

and finally couldn't take it anymore,

begging for mercy.

"Leon, please stop. Can't I just admit

my mistake?" she pleaded.

"Mom, please make Leon stop. If he

keeps going, I'Il end up in the hospital!"

cried out her daughter.

"l won't do it again, I promise, I swear!" Coco continued to plead.

It was only then that Caleb slowly

stood up from the couch, raised her

hand and sternly warned, "Coco, if

you ever dare to act out like this again,

you can forget about staying in this

house. I'm only giving you one chance!" Coco nodded her head vigorously

like a garlic crusher, "Yes, yes, I won't

do it again."

Seeing this, Leon calmly put his belt

back on, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

He couldn't help but show a curious

expression, "Cousin, you brought this

on yourself today. But l'm curious,

where did you spend all that money?" Caleb spoke firmly, "That's right,

someone showed you kindness, but

you went ahead and squandered it. You

must give an explanation and find a

way to pay back that money!"

"...this money..." Coco struggled to

stand up, but she still hesitated.

Caleb shouted angrily, "Are you

going to tell us or not?" Coco's neck shrank back, losing

all her confidence. She could only

confess, "Most of the money was spent

on my personal expenses over the past

six months."

"l also bought a lot of luxury items,

which are hidden in my closet,

including a Patel Philippe's watch worth Over a million."

Hearing this, Caleb was almost

driven to madness.

Although both Caleb and Luca came from prominent

families, they have never been so

extravagant with their spending,

despite being financially free for a long

time. For them, a watch worth millions

of dollars is simply too luxurious. It was

not until this moment that Caleb

realized how fortunate it was that she

did not reveal their true family

background to Coco and had kept

her identity hidden and protected.

Otherwise, if the situation were to be

Coco's neck shrank back, losing

all her confidence. She could only

confess, "Most of the money was spent

probably not a good sign and that

Soko's father was here for him. After all,

the position of Vice President was also

highly respected, and the Light family in Cartel had a prominent status in Kaelonia.

"My father has been waiting for you in

your office for ten minutes," Soko

said with a look of discontent on his

face.

Leon nodded nonchalantly and

pushed open the door to his office. As

expected, he saw a middle-aged man

sitting inside.

The middle-aged man was thin,

dressed in a suit, with some gray hair

at his temples, and he exuded an

invisible aura of power.

Soko closed the door behind him

and walked up to the middle-aged

man, saying respectfully, "Dad, this is Leon." Tiger looked up and gave Leon a serious look, silently sizing him

up.

"Vice President Tiger, nice to meet you. I

hope we can work together in the

future," Leon said witha smile,

extending his hand in a friendly

gesture.

However, Tiger did not even

lift his hand, completely ignoring Leon's gesture, and instead spoke in a

domineering tone, "Leon, you have a

lot of nerve! Do you know that this

position actually belongs to my son?"

"l came here today specifically to tell

you that if you're smart, you'll resign

immediately and apply to leave with

Godfrey!"

"Otherwise...in this place, I could kill

you in a minute!"

    "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!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    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

    "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'

    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
