Leon, who had closed his eyes on the way home, suddenly felt the car he was in stop moving. He opened his eyes and realized that the car had indeed stopped."What's wrong, sir? Why did you stop?" Leon asked the driver."There was an accident up ahead, sir. The road is congested," the driver replied.Leon just nodded, then looked around. The drowsiness that had been hanging over his eyes immediately evaporated, as if blown away by the wind. The car was moving very slowly, because it was adjusting to the movement of the car in front of it which was also only moving little by little.Finally Leon's car arrived at the scene of the accident. Leon saw a car that had bounced and hit a tree. The front body was crushed and the driver was being rescued by residents. Then not far from that place, Leon saw a car that had hit a road divider. The front body of the car looked badly crushed. Leon suspected that the car must have been driven at high speed when it hit him. That's when Leon felt suspi
"Good evening. With Mrs. Ariana William?" asked the police officer who came with a colleague, accompanied by a security guard on duty at the front post."Good evening. Yes, that's right. I'm Ariana William. What's wrong?" asked Ariana with mixed feelings.Fear, panic, curiosity, and anxiety enveloped Ariana, remembering that Veronica had not returned home. She was afraid that something had happened to her daughter. Really, she just hoped that Veronica was okay.Worse still, Ariana was worried that the two police officers had come with the intention of imprisoning her. Considering that her company was on the brink, investors were withdrawing their shares, debts in the bank for operational costs were piling up, and also employee salaries had not been paid. Veronica heard that there was a demonstration at the company this afternoon, and she was really afraid that the police would come to imprison her. "Mrs. Ariana, I came to inform you that Miss Veronica had an accident." "What? An acci
Meanwhile, outside the room where Veronica was being treated, a man who had been watching Veronica's room was receiving a phone call. [How is my wife? Has she been casted?] [Yes, Young Master. Madam has been casted. Now she is with her mother who came to visit] [Alright. Keep an eye on her. No one should visit her except her mother. If there is a man in the photo, don't let him in!] [Yes, Young Master]The man who turned out to be Leon's bodyguard put his phone back into his pocket after Leon hung up. However, he soon took his phone out again and looked at the photo Leon had sent him. Leon had indeed sent two photos to the bodyguard. Photos of Ariana and Dion. If Ariana was allowed to enter Veronica's room, then Dion was not allowed. When he saw Ariana approaching the nurse who was about to leave the room, the bodyguard immediately recognized Ariana as Veronica's mother. For that reason, he only watched from afar and did not stop her from entering. However, if he later saw Dion
"Strange, huh? It's clear that Mr. Leon's husband asked for it to be kept a secret," said the tall nurse. "Yes, you know. Is it possible that their household is having problems? Maybe they got married without Mrs. Veronica's parents' blessing, so Mr. Leon secretly helped and didn't want his wife's family to know," replied the plump nurse. "Oh, yes. It could be like that. What else does Mr. Leon lack? He's handsome, rich, successful, and young. I would also want to marry Mr. Leon." The tall nurse chimed in again with eyes sparkling with joy. It was obvious that she really liked the man they were talking about."Hey, that person's husband! Don't dream! Moreover, Mrs. Veronica is very beautiful. You are nothing compared to her. Surely Mr. Leon will never look at you!" The plump nurse warned her colleague, then they both laughed. It was obvious that they really enjoyed joking around like that in between their duties. Without the two of them knowing, Ariana who was behind them heard t
Meanwhile, Leon who had just come from the hospital had now arrived at Tan's Industries. He immediately went to his room and took off the jacket he was wearing. He carefully placed the jacket on the back of his oversized chair. Leon sat on the sofa in the room while massaging his forehead. "I want to bring Veronica into my life, but how? I've already talked to Grandpa about taking revenge on Veronica, and Grandpa has agreed. But this, it's all too late," Leon muttered in despair. Charlie, who had heard Veronica's background and saw the viral video, finally gave Veronica a negative stigma. Charlie did not approve of Leon's marriage to Veronica, instead suggesting Leon to really take care of their divorce. Charlie felt his self-esteem was trampled on when his beloved grandson was dumped by a woman of Veronica's class. Therefore, Charlie intended to match Leon with the daughter of his business partner. Of course, after Leon officially divorced Veronica. Charlie already had several na
"Huh! That was close!"Andre hid near the trash can, he didn't want his presence to be known. Even though for that Andre was forced to inhale the unpleasant smell that emanated from the trash can. He desperately held back the nausea and the urge to vomit, the effect of how bad the smell was that he was forced to inhale if he wanted to stay safe."Leon is here. What does he want? It's rare for him to travel alone. Where is that fierce personal assistant who always follows him?" Andre muttered from his hiding place.Leon, the person Andre was avoiding, also passed by that place. Leon didn't know that someone was hiding and spying on him. After making sure Leon had passed, Andre came out of his hiding place. "Yuck! Crazy, the smell is so bad. Ugh!" Andre even spat to get rid of his discomfort. He rushed in the same direction as Leon, intending to catch up with him. Andre gave up on going to Veronica's treatment room. He didn't want to miss the opportunity to follow Leon. Andre widened h
"Well, this is safe. No one will recognize me if I disguise myself like this." Andre offered Rudi a wad of money, and the food delivery man was interested and immediately agreed. After getting his share, Rudi lent Andre a special kitchen uniform. Clothes like those worn by Rudi and his friends. Not to forget the mask to cover the mouth and nose, and a special hat. No one would have thought that behind that simple appearance, Andre, a high-ranking official at Tan's Industries, was hiding. "It wasn't in vain that I gave Rudi a wad of money. It turns out that Fatso is also a money-hungry person." Andre checked his appearance again. Andre turned around and looked into the mirror in the dressing room. After making sure his disguise was perfect, he immediately came out of the dressing room and approached Rudi. "This one is for the room in the VVIP ward. There is already a room name and number, okay?" Rudi explained what tasks Andre had to do and which rooms the food would be deliver
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
