(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 17. Revealed
"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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 18. Another Side of Leon and Cindy
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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 20. Ariana and Andre's Meeting
"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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 22. Stategy
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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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'
