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

Meanwhile, at the scene Leon was dumped by Andre. After making sure Andre and his men left the beach, Anto--a fisherman--who saw the sack dumping incident also left his hiding place. Anto was very curious because he witnessed everything from the beginning. From the arrival of the two cars, Anto had noticed. Then when Andre rented a speedboat, Anto also knew. Anto also witnessed when Andre's men carried a sack and then dumped it in the middle of the sea. Even secretly, Anto who was hiding behind his boat, also had time to take a long-distance video of the incident.Anto felt curious, what was actually in the sack that was thrown away earlier. He saw Andre and his men who were both wearing masks and hats had time to capture the moment of throwing away the sack. As if they were capturing something valuable, like a memory. Making Anto's curiosity rise. "If it was just an ordinary sack, why did they have to capture the moment they threw it away?" Anto muttered, starting to be filled wit
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 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
