Introduction
However, Leon was the useless son-in-law that everyone looked down upon, but no one knew his true identity.
When Leon turned around and sat in his Rolls-Royce Phantom, those who had looked down on him knelt before him, calling him "BOSS" in terror!
His wife cried and begged him: "Leon,I still love you, please don't leave me."
His mother-in-law knelt down and said: "Boss, I know I was wrong!"
Chapter 1
Inside the luxurious suburban villa of the Herman Family.
The patriarch of the Herman Family, Patrick Herman, loudly announced, "Kids, I recently inherited our ancestors' estate, and I believe this inheritance shouldn't belong to me alone, so I plan to distribute it fairly to everyone."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Herman Family all showed expressions of joy.
"Oh my God, is this true? Patrick, thank you for your generosity." someone exclaimed, out of joy.
Patrick smiled and said,,"Jackson, I know you love surfing, so I'm giving you a beachfront vacation villa worth about two million dollars. Lucy, I know you're interested in sports cars, so I've prepared the latest Ferrari for you. As for you, Molly..."
At this moment, Leon Corleone spoke up, "Patrick, although I know there's nothing for me, could you give me a lawnmower? It would make mowing the lawn much easier for me."
After he finished speaking, the members of the Herman Family looked at him in disbelief.
Leon was Caitlin Herman's husband.
Four years ago, Patrick's wife forced their granddaughter Caitlin to marry the homeless Leon, and on the day Leon and Caitlin got married, Patrick's wife suddenly died of a heart attack. The reason for her insistence on this marriage remained ambiguous.
After the marriage, the entire Herman Family despised Leon because he couldn't make money and spent his days sweeping, cooking, and mowing the lawn.
Hearing Leon's words, Patrick said disdainfully, "Leon, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Caitlin quickly explained, "Patrick, Leon was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."
After speaking, she tried to pull Leon to the corner.
However, Caitlin's sister, Molly Herman, spoke up, "Caitlin, your husband isn't even a member of the Herman Family, and he wants to get the Herman Family inheritance? Doesn't he know any shame?"
"That's right, besides the Herman Family members, there are so many other guests here today. It's really embarrassing for him to say such things!" Jackson Herman, standing on the right, spoke up. He was Patrick's favorite grandson.
Jackson had held a grudge towards Caitlin since childhood, so he spoke without mercy.
Listening to the insults from the Herman Family members, Leon lowered his head.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Patrick, the president of Corleone Investment Bank, Steve Hamilton, is here!"
Corleone Investment Bank was an investment bank similar to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Bank, and was well-known internationally.
As the president of Corleone Investment Bank, Steve was naturally an important figure in high society.
"Patrick, please forgive me for coming uninvited. To express my apologies, here I take a gift!" Steve took the initiative to speak, handing over a beautifully wrapped gift box.
"No, Mr. Hamilton. Your presence is an honor for the Herman Family," Patrick said in the warmest voice.
He opened the gift box and found a bank card inside!
With a pair of firm and sincere eyes, steve announced solemnly, "Patrick, this bank card contains five million dollars. This is a gift I prepared for Caitlin. From the moment I first saw Caitlin, I fell deeply in love with her. And I know Caitlin's marriage is not happy. So as long as Caitlin is willing to marry me, this five million dollars will belong to her!"
After Steve finished speaking, the members of the Herman Family were all shocked.
"Caitlin, I know this is very sudden for you, but I really love you. Please consider it seriously." Steve smiled at Caitlin and then left.
After Steve left, the people in the villa finally started whispering, their faces full of envy, shock, and hatred.
"Oh my God, why is Caitlin so lucky? If she can marry Steve, it's unimaginable what her future life will be like!" Someone exclaimed.
"If Caitlin marries Steve, it will also be very beneficial for the Herman Family!" someone added.
Patrick thought for a few minutes and said, "Leon, as long as you divorce Caitlin, I am willing to give you two million dollars in the name of the family, and also a house for the bestowal. How about that?"
Leon looked at Caitlin beside him and firmly said, "Patrick, I don't care about the money. I just want to be with Caitlin."
Patrick frowned and angrily roared, "Ungrateful bastard, who do you think you are? You piece of trash, you’re not welcome here, fuck off!"
Leon was stunned for a moment. Patrick's reaction made him feel very uncomfortable. But the guards had already stepped forward, so he had to turn and walk towards the door.
"Leon..." Caitlin hesitated, not knowing whether to follow him out.
"Cut the crap! You will be kicked off the Herman Family once you step out of here! Consider it!" Noticing Caitlin's expression, Patrick said in a cold tone.
Leon said, "Never mind, Caitlin. I can take care of myself. Just stay here."
After saying that, he left.
At this moment, his phone received a text message.
The message read: [Leon, we are in trouble and need you.]
Looking at the content of the message, Leon frowned.
Four years ago, he had been stripped of his inheritance rights by the Corleone Family and expelled from the Corleone Manor.
Fortunately, he met Caitlin's grandmother, Delilah Herman, on the street.
Delilah brought Leon back to the Herman Mansion and arranged for him to marry Caitlin, which had unknowingly changed his whole life.
For this, Leon had always been grateful.
Although Caitlin was very cold to him and refused to share a room with him, he still fell in love with her.
While Leon was reminiscing, another text message suddenly came through: [Dear Leon, please reply as soon as possible. Four years ago, you purchased an oil well, and now the well has been found to contain oil. The company has gone public! And the Corleone Family is facing bankruptcy due to failed investments. The family needs your help.]
Leon was very surprised. Four years ago, he did indeed spend over a hundred million dollars on an oil well, which led the Corleone Family to believe he had embezzled family funds.
But now, the oil well had actually been found to contain oil, and its market value had increased hundreds of times?
Leon called the bank's customer service.
"Dear Mr. Corleone, how can I assist you?" A sweet voice came through the phone.
"Check the balance of my bank account," Leon said.
"Mr. Corleone, you are our bank's highest-level customer. I do not have the authority to check your balance. If you insist this, I need to apply to the higher department. Please wait, and I will get back to you," the service agent replied respectfully.
"Okay." Leon hung up the phone, joy and surprise filled his heart.
When Leon got home, Caitlin had already driven back ahead of him.
Besides Caitlin, there were two other guests at home, Matilda Cole and Caden Allen, both of whom were Caitlin's friends.
At this moment, Matilda said with a serious expression. "Caitlin, I heard your company is having a tough time?"
Caitlin hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and replied, "Yes, my company is currently facing a cash flow problem and needs at least 8 million dollars to operate normally."
Matilda frowned, "8 million dollars? Where are you going to get that much money?"
Caitlin felt frustrated and, seeing Leon standing in the corner, said coldly, "Leon, why are you still standing here? Go clean the toilet right now!"
Leon obediently walked towards the bathroom, and at that moment, his phone rang.
"Dear Mr. Corleone, you have placed your assets in offshore accounts. The bank suggests you take some time to visit the bank personally."
Leon nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the bank when I get free."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Caitlin, "Honey, I can give you 8 million dollars."
Hearing this, Caden laughed mockingly, "Leon, you have 8 million dollars? What’re you saying? In your dreams, are you? How could you, a trash, own that much money? You must be bragging!"
Leon chuckled, "Caden, are you so sure I don't have it? What if I do have 8 million dollars?"
Caden said playfully, "Wanna a bet? If you really have 8 million dollars, then I'll follow all your orders."
Leon calmly said, "Sounds great. But let me make it clear to you, whoever breaks his word is a real trash!"
