(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

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?

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

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.

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

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.
