Early in the morning, Wilson intended to visit Charlie's residence with the driver. Last night, Wilson could not sleep well because he remembered the fate of his daughter's arranged marriage. Throughout the journey, there was an inner turmoil within Wilson."How could Charlie have the heart to drag my daughter into a marriage with his grandson who is already married?" Wilson muttered while looking at the busy street in front of him.Wilson wanted to ask what Charlie's intentions and goals were in matching Catherine with Leon who was already married. What motives underlie the matchmaking plan. Wilson felt that he had no fault or dispute with Charlie. It was impossible, right, for Charlie to have bad intentions towards him? But why did his daughter have to be the scapegoat?Wilson shook his head. Then he remembered his friendship with Charlie a few years ago. They parted on good terms, without any hostility or bad things underlying it. The separation was purely because Wilson got a job

Ariana peeked out through the glass window in the room. Indeed, someone was seen sitting on the bench across from Veronica's treatment room. It looked like a patient's attendant in the room across. 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. She just found out that Leon sent a bodyguard to guard her and Veronica.[How do I get rid of that person, Sir?] Ariana sent another message to Andre. [It's up to you, Ma'am. Just get rid of that person immediately and let me know when he's gone] Then Ariana racked her brains, she thought about how to get the bodyguard to leave. After being silent for a few minutes, she got an idea. It so happened that Veronica was asleep because she took medicine after breakfast e
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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

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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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

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
