21. Revealing A Truth
Andre shook his head, when he realized how curt Ariana was. However, he did not blame Veronica's mother. It really challenged Andre's masculine side that if he didn't remember where they were, he might have cursed. "Okay, Mrs. Ariana, I'll just get straight to the point." Ariana straightened her body, she began to feel curious about what Andre would say. Something important, according to Andre. How important it was to Ariana, he didn't know. "Is it true that Miss Veronica, the Mrs.'s daughter, is Leon's wife?" Andre launched a question that aimed to dig up as much detailed information as possible about Leon and Veronica. "Yes. They did get married some time ago. But the marriage was forced by my late father." Ariana immediately answered, a sad tone still heard in her words. Understandably, talking about Veronica's marriage, Ariana seemed to be opening her own wounds. The sadness of losing Alexander William on their wedding day is still felt to this day. Like a wound that is stil

It is only natural for a mother to think about her child's safety. That is what Ariana is doing. She is worried about Veronica's safety. Andre openly said that he would discuss something regarding Veronica's safety. Ariana thought, if that was discussed, it meant that Veronica's safety was at stake. "Actually, what is your plan?" Finally, the question came out of Ariana's lips. Rather than just guessing and feeling dizzy, she chose to express what was in her heart. "Well, ma'am. My plan is like this...."Andre began to explain the plan that was already in his mind. Knowing that Ariana was a very talkative and perfectionist type of woman, Andre chose to explain everything in detail."Okay, I agree. But, you must really guarantee my daughter's safety!"Finally, Ariana decided to follow Andre's plan. Her materialistic soul was increasingly struggling when Andre promised to increase the amount that Ariana would receive. She thought, when else would she get such a windfall. Moreover, A

23. Leon And Catherine
Catherine leaned toward Leon and spoke softly, afraid that someone other than Leon would hear."I'll pretend to cheat and you'll catch me. So you decide to end the arranged marriage. How about it?" Catherine said."Huh, no fun! I'd rather you cancel it, Miss. Don't you know, I already have a wife. Maybe the news can make your family back off from this arranged marriage. How about it?"It was Leon's turn to ask Catherine. Leon realized that it was impossible for the two of them to continue the arranged marriage. Leon was already married while Catherine, for some reason, did not want to accept the arranged marriage. Maybe she already had a lover, like Veronica used to. Catherine blinked, she looked surprised to hear what Leon had said. "Is it true that you are married? But why did our parents plan this arranged marriage? Then what about your wife?" Catherine asked, she couldn't help but ask all that. "Don't you know the video about my wedding? The video went viral.""I don't know. I'

However, according to Andre, the person was Veronica's room guard.Ariana secretly took a picture of the person from inside and sent it to Andre.[Is this the person you mean, Sir?]A few seconds later, Andre replied.[Yes. He is the bodyguard sent by Leon to guard you]Ariana's lips rounded perfectly as she read Andre's reply.

26. Message from Andre
Leon immediately came to the hospital and confirmed Max and Luxi's report to the hospital manager. He also reported the case to the police. Several police officers immediately searched all over the place. However, they didn't seem to find anything either. CCTV footage didn't help much because Andre's two men were wearing masks that covered their faces. Andre was the same, he was wearing a mask, hat, and glasses so that when seen by CCTV his face was unrecognizable. Meanwhile, CCTV in the parking lot only recorded the moment when Veronica was pushed in a wheelchair towards a car. The position of the car was blocked by other cars so it was unclear what type of car and what the license plate number was. It seemed that the kidnappers had anticipated the presence of CCTV. So they deliberately parked his vehicle was far from the CCTV range so that it would not be recorded. Meanwhile, the CCTV that showed the activity of cars entering and leaving the parking lot clearly recorded all the c

Leon was forced to accompany Charlie to lunch outside. They went to a famous restaurant with a row of mouth-watering menus. They immediately took a seat and ordered their food. Not long after, their order was delivered.However, all the delicious menus that usually tasted delicious now tasted bitter on Leon's tongue. The food seemed to be stuck in his throat and was difficult for him to swallow. It felt awkward and made him feel short of breath. All of that was because Leon was not well. His mind wandered wildly thinking about what had happened to Veronica.Suddenly Leon remembered the video. Various questions flashed through his mind. Actually, who did the kidnapping? What was the motive? Then, where was Veronica taken? Where should he look for Veronica? A bad shadow seemed to haunt him, considering Veronica's condition that had not recovered. Leon saw for himself, in the video, Veronica's hands and feet were clearly tied. Even though Veronica's leg was injured. Wouldn't that affect

28. Finding You
Leon opened the video that the kidnapper had just sent. It was very clear that Veronica was crying, tears streaming down Veronica's beautiful face. Veronica's expression showed deep pain, which made Leon angry again. He really didn't want anyone to hurt his wife."You're rude!" Leon cursed with a red face holding back his anger."Young Master, this way!"A bodyguard called Leon to follow him. He had found a way into the warehouse, by climbing over the fence behind the warehouse. The fence was rather low and there were no broken glass or wires on it. So it was very safe to climb. Leon and everyone else managed to jump over the fence and immediately hid.Meanwhile, Andre's other men gathered in front of the warehouse. They were playing cards while laughing. Cigarette smoke billowed and the smell of liquor wafted in the air. Andre let them act like that because he thought everything was under control. Mike, one of Andre's men happened to be beside the warehouse. He saw a flash of someon

29. Andre's Cruelty
Leon stopped his movement when he heard Andre's voice. He looked back and was not surprised when he saw Andre was already near Veronica. Pointing a knife at the woman's neck. He had expected his uncle to be that cunning.The opportunity was not wasted by Andre's men who had been fighting with Leon. With one quick movement he immediately kicked Leon's stomach until the man fell to the floor."Ouch!"Leon groaned but soon he got back up. However, two of Andre's men quickly caught and held both of his arms. Leon wanted to fight back but he held on. Falling down did not reduce his strength. However, he took into account Veronica's life which was in Andre's grasp. "Bastard! Let go of Veronica!" Leon shouted at Andre who grinned sarcastically, as if to mock him. "If I don't want to, what do you want?" Andre said that as if to tease Leon, making Leon's blood boil because of it. "You can only hide under a woman's weakness. What a loser!" Leon cursed again."Ugh! That's so rude to your own

30. Escape from Death
"Come on out! Boss Andre is going to burn down this warehouse!" 'What? Burned?' Shock, that's for sure. Veronica was shocked because she thought that Leon, who was in the sack, would be burned alive. He knew Andre was very cruel. And maybe he wouldn't hesitate to burn Leon and the warehouse. Clear tears flowed from the corners of Veronica's eyes, imagining the fate of the man who was still legally her husband. Veronica was really sorry, how she hadn't had the chance to apologize to Leon. Also thanks for the help.Veronica did not resist and rebel when the wheelchair was pushed by Andre's men. She knew that Andre's men were carrying out their duties. Maybe they also did not want that, but were forced to do it because of their superior's yank duties. Note, they were also forced. Because if they resisted, it would definitely have an impact on the fate of their jobs. The wheelchair carrying Veronica then sped away, pushed by Andre's men until it exited the warehouse. When she wa
