(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 41. More Allies
Cindy looked around again. Then, her gaze accidentally met someone she really didn't want to see. However, unfortunately, the person smiled at her, even walking towards her. Cindy clenched her jaw, when the person started to greet her. "Miss Cindy, you came too? Where's your Young Master?" Andre asked Cindy that, making Leon's personal assistant furious. However, she tried not to show her feelings. She gave a thin smile, pretending not to know anything about what Leon was going through. "Young Master Leon seems to be on vacation, Mr. Andre. He's turned off his cellphone for the past few days and I can't contact him," Cindy replied, trying to be friendly to Leon's uncle. "Oh really? On vacation, huh? You didn't even know about his grandfather's death, huh? What kind of grandson is that? He said he was the only grandson, but he behaves like that!" Cindy secretly clenched her fists when she heard Andre's response about Leon's absence. Even though Cindy knew very well, Andre was the

"Is it possible that Mr. Andre was involved in the death of the late Master?" Robert said that quietly, afraid that someone would overhear their conversation and eventually their secret would be revealed. Cindy crossed her arms in front of her chest, then looked at Robert with a probing gaze. She tried to find out what was on Robert's mind. "If Mr. Andre was involved, what would you do?" Cindy asked then, after she found no lies in Robert's facial expression. "If that's the case, I will try to investigate this case through legal channels. This is a criminal act and enters the realm of the law," Robert replied firmly.Cindy nodded in agreement. She was sure now that Robert was on her side. If he was on Andre's side, he would certainly defend his master, right? Cindy felt relieved because she had an ally now. "Mr. Robert, if you're not busy, after the airport I'd like to talk to you privately." "Cindy, do you also want to accompany the late Master to the airport? How about coming

43. Meeting with New Supporter"Mr. Robert. I have something important to discuss with you." Robert turned around and frowned because he felt like he didn't know the person who had just greeted him. Robert glanced at the person's appearance. The tall, big man was wearing an unbuttoned black leather jacket that revealed his black undershirt. Black denim trousers covered his lower body. It looked informal but quite polite to attend a funeral. "Excuse me, who are you? Do you know me?""Mr. Robert. What happened to Mr. Charlie that he died? I met him a few days ago, he seemed healthy and fit. Did something happen to him?" Robert was obviously shocked to hear the man's words, because usually Charlie always wanted to be accompanied wherever Charlie went and talk about anything about what Charlie had done and would do. However, Charlie did not tell about his meeting with the person who was now in front of Robert. "Do you know Mr. Charlie? What's your name?" asked Robert with a sharp gaze

44. Revealing a FactCindy briefly examined Robby's appearance. In her heart she wondered, was Robby a trustworthy person?"Please sit down, Mr. Robby. Mr. Robert and I have had a cup of coffee and snacks. I'll order something for you too," Cindy greeted, trying to be friendly, thinking positively but still being alert."Thank you, Miss--""Cindy. I am Mr. Young Leon's personal assistant.""Oh yes, Miss Cindy. Thank you for your welcome," Robby said, a sincere smile spreading across his thin lips.Then Robby sat right next to Robert and was silent, waiting for someone to start a conversation. Robby did want to say something important, but he gave the others the chance to speak first. A waiter brought their order. Three cups of coffee and a few pieces of waffle. "Shall we eat first or do you want to discuss something first?" asked Robert, trying to break the silence after the three of them sat at the table like that. "Let's eat first, Sir. I think that's better," said Robby, to whic

"What if we thwart Mr. Andre's steps? I have a plan!"Robert said that without hesitation. How furious he was seeing Andre's behavior. Robert, who had been Charlie's best friend since high school. He witnessed how Charlie's family had kindly adopted Felix, Andre's father. Treating Felix like his own child. Charlie himself also loved Felix very much. Not considering him as an adopted brother, but as his own biological brother.Robert knew very well how Charlie also loved Andre like his own nephew. Since Andre was little, Charlie always spoiled him. Then after graduating from college, Charlie taught and trained Andre with business knowledge and tricks from scratch. Until finally Andre gained Charlie's trust to be able to handle Tan's Industries. Felix actually also had his own business separate from Charlie's, which was inherited from Charlie's parents. However, Charlie pulled Andre into Tan's Industries to pass on ke knowledge. Without Charlie knowing, the greedy Felix deliberately ma

"Good afternoon, Mr. Andre.""Y-you guys. What do you want to do here?"Andre's face immediately turned pale, he did not expect that police officers would come to his house. People who feel they have committed a crime will definitely feel scared when they see the police. So did Andre. When he saw the two people in brown uniforms, he immediately thought that they had come to arrest him."Excuse me, Mr. Andre, we came here because we want to arrest you on charges of kidnapping, attempted disappearance, and also corruption. This is our arrest warrant."The police officer then gave a piece of paper as proof of Andre's arrest warrant. Andre shook his head quickly when he read the letter."No, I didn't. You guys don't make things up. I really didn't do it."Andre denied all the accusations written in the letter. However, the police officer was not affected by Andre's words."You can say that later at the police station. Just call your lawyer. Now you have to come with us!"Hearing the polic
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 47. Torture for Andre
"Feel it! Feel the fruit of the seeds you have sown!"Leon clenched his fists, his jaw tightening as he remembered everything Andre had done to him and the people he loved. Another fact that had not been revealed and was only being investigated was whether Andre was involved in the death of his late grandfather."If it is proven that you were behind Grandpa's death, I don't know what I will do to you, Uncle Disobedient. One thing is for sure, I will not forgive you, Uncle. Grandpa is the only closest family I have. Grandpa's departure certainly left me with a deep sense of pain and loss."Leon muttered with a miserable face. Feeling all alone now. Leon could have approached his late mother's family. However, he did not have enough guts to face his mother's mistakes. Not afraid, but more reluctant and guilty that so entangled him. Leon's mother had sacrificed to leave her extended family, in the name of love for Leon's father. Elopement, that's the term. Leon's parents played out the

48. Veronica Kidnapped (Again)Leon's firm answer made Felix clench his fists. Then he did something that made Leon angry. Slap! Felix threw a slap on Leon's cheek. Leon didn't have time to dodge because he didn't expect to get a 'reward' from Charlie's adopted brother. "That's your reward for speaking rudely to your parents!"Hearing Felix's words, Leon's heart felt boiling. Leon's jaw tightened, his eyes staring sharply at Felix, as if they were going to pierce his heart. Leon's hands were already clenched, but he loosened them again because he remembered that they were in the police station. Leon didn't want to get into trouble if he hit Felix. "It's up to Grandpa what you want to say. I only did what I had to do to protect myself and my family. Grandpa should ask first, what did Uncle Andre do that made me do this!" After saying that, Leon immediately turned around and left the room. Why bother with someone who doesn't know his place, he thought."Leon! Grandpa hasn't finishe
