31. Veronica's Last Hope
Andre and one of his men lifted the sack containing Leon's body and threw it into the sea. The incident was seen by Veronica who was in the car, causing Veronica to panic and become scared. She screamed and struggled.However, Veronica's screams were in vain because her voice was swallowed by the duct tape covering her mouth. Veronica's struggles were also in vain, because the ties on her hands and feet were so strong that they would not come off with just a little tug from Veronica.Not to mention Veronica's leg that felt sore from her movements. Every time she moved, her injured leg would hurt. Maybe it happened because she had not taken her painkillers several times. Understandably, Andre's men took Veronica by force without bringing the woman's medicine. The medicine that she should have taken routinely at least once or twice a day, to reduce and relieve the pain in her injured leg. The sack containing Leon's body slowly disappeared from the surface of the water. Veronica cried i

32. Coming Home
Veronica blinked several times. It felt like a dream, she could be in that place. That's when she realized that the ties on her hands and feet had been removed. When and who did it, Veronica didn't know. Maybe when she was sleeping. Veronica pinched her cheek, to make sure that she really wasn't dreaming. It turned out that it really hurt. And she really believed that the incident was real, not just in her dream. When she pinched her cheek, she realized that her mouth was still taped. "Ouch!"Veronica winced in pain as she removed the tape from her mouth. Although she did it slowly, the tape was so sticky on her skin that it would definitely sting and hurt.Veronica's eyes sparkled, she felt relieved now that she was free from the tape and rope that had been binding her lately. Especially when she realized where they were now. Really, she didn't expect the car she was riding in to stop right in front of her house gate. Of course she was surprised."How could this happen? They said t

34. Poor Veronica
Meanwhile at Veronica's residenceAfter Andre and the driver left, Veronica was pushed inside by Aunt Yati--her housemaid."Shall we go straight to Miss's room?" asked Aunt Yati slowly and carefully."Yes. Oh yeah, where's Mama?"Veronica turned and fixed her gaze on Yati who was pushing her wheelchair."Madam just came home from the social gathering an hour ago, Miss. She's probably resting now."Veronica snorted harshly. "Take me to Mama's room!" Veronica ordered. She really felt annoyed with her mother. She had just been kidnapped and her mother was enjoying herself at the social gathering and sleeping in her room. As if nothing had happened to her daughter. Was that the attitude of a mother who loved her child? Could Yati refuse if her employer told her to? Of course she would do what she was told. And she slowly pushed the wheelchair towards Ariana's room. After arriving in front of the room, Yati knocked on the door. However, there was no answer from inside. "See, Miss. Madam

"Don't stop me! I want to celebrate my victory. Ha-ha-ha ... Charlie, wait for your destruction!" Andre fell down after saying that. Making his subordinates who were still 'sane' click their tongues and then helped Andre to stand up. Then he carried him to a room that Andre usually occupied when they gathered at the headquarters like that. "Veronica ... I want to make love to you. I should have tasted you first before letting you go. Oh, damn! I want to make love ....!" Andre had time to ramble as his subordinates laid his unconscious body on the bed."Tsk! The Boss has time to ramble!" Andre's henchman grumbled. Andre's henchman was about to leave the place, but suddenly Andre pulled his hand. "Honey, come make love to me! Don't worry, I'm a mighty man!" Andre coaxed, he was already influenced by alcohol to the point of rambling and in his eyes, his henchman was Veronica. "Huh! Disgusting!" Andre's henchman immediately pushed Andre's hand away, he shuddered in horror then imme

36. Charlie's Death
Charlie's face tensed as he watched the video. In the video, it was clearly visible that Leon was being tortured by several people wearing black clothes. They were wearing masks that covered part of their faces. It was also seen when Leon was put into a sack in an unconscious state and his hands and feet were tied.Then the video also showed a fight between Andre and those people. Andre lost and was battered, then fainted. Then Leon was taken to the sea and dumped there."Andre, where did you get these videos? Are they real or edited?" asked Charlie with a tense face."Why do you doubt this video? This video is real, Uncle. Andre got it from those people. They wanted to ask me for ransom. They sent the first video. I couldn't bear it, so I intended to free Leon. But instead they ganged up on me until I lost and fainted. That's when they sent the second video. Then the third video." Charlie watched the videos again. He believed now that everything Andre said was true and the proof was

"Mr. Leon! Come here quickly!" Leon who heard Anto's scream gasped, he was very shocked and anxious. Leon was afraid that something bad would happen to Anto, the person who had kindly helped him from death. Leon rushed to Anto. "What's wrong?" Leon asked with a panicked face. "Sir, check out the news!" Anto showed the news on television, making Leon immediately come closer and listen to the news that was being broadcast by the famous television station in the country.

38. Prayer for Charlie
Anto was shocked, he was really surprised to be reprimanded in such a way by another trumpet player."Don't stop blowing your trumpet until you tell me to," the trumpet player said to Anto."Okay. Sorry. I was just amazed by the luxury of the house," Anto replied while scratching the back of his neck, embarrassed."That's how rich people's houses are. Okay, let's blow again before the chairman gets angry!"Anto then blew the trumpet in his hand again. In front of him, Leon was also blowing the trumpet. Leon and Anto were forced to change into white shirts so they could blend in with the trumpet player. Leon kept stealing glances at the main residence, while blowing the trumpet, he kept observing and looking for a way to get in there.Behind the trumpeters, a group of lion dancers were showing off their moves. Weaving like a dragon walking. Sometimes spinning around like they were chasing their tails. The white lion dancers were still in action, when Leon saw a good opportunity. When t

39. Meeting Cindy
"Wait a minute, Sir!"Leon froze when he heard the voice. He clearly knew who was calling him. The woman walked quickly after Leon, and in an instant was in front of Leon."Are you Young Master Leon?"Cindy looked closely at the figure in front of her. While Anto nudged Leon's arm, she was worried that Leon was in danger. Leon glanced at Anto, then nodded. As if to say that he was fine."Who is Young Master Leon? I don't know him!""Ha-ha-ha... Young Master, don't joke with me. My guess is right, you are indeed Young Master Leon. I will not be fooled by your appearance, Sir. I know your posture very well. Your voice also cannot deceive me." Leon could only exhale roughly. "Alright, I admit defeat, Cindy. I beg you, don't come near me. Later someone will be suspicious and recognize my disguise. Please!" Leon begged with a serious face. "Alright, Young Master. I want to discuss something important with Young Master. Can Young Master wait for me near the gate? We will try to find a saf

40. Maneuver
"Quickly tell me what's wrong Cindy! What are you investigating!" Leon was so curious about what Cindy had just said. His brain started thinking, trying to guess what was happening in the company and why Andre could be involved. "Excuse me, Young Master, I found a lot of irregularities with the existing financial reports and production reports. Then after I traced it, it all pointed to a point where your uncle was behind it. But this is just a temporary assumption, Young Master. I haven't succeeded in proving your uncle's involvement. I'm still investigating it further."Leon nodded in agreement. "Okay, I give you the authority to conduct any investigation in the company. Do it according to procedure, don't forget to involve independent parties too. Please keep it a secret as much as possible if I'm still alive. I still want to hide from Andre for now. I want to know his next plan after Grandpa's departure." "Okay, Young Master." Cindy nodded obediently, then wrote something back o
