(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 48. Veronica Kidnapped (Again)
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
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 49. Where was Veronica taken?
Leon clenched his fists tightly as he read the contents of the letter. In his heart he tried to guess who the kidnapper really was. "Could he be someone close to me? But who?" Leon muttered with a frown. Leon could not predict who had done that. He tried to dig into his memory, who in the city had known Veronica as his wife. They both got married in the city where Veronica lived, while in the city where Leon lived, people did not know about the marriage.After Veronica's kidnapping incident at the hospital and Leon found out that Veronica survived, Leon was very protective of his wife. Especially considering the danger of Andre's threat. So he took Ariana and Veronica to the city where Leon lived. He bought a fairly luxurious house for Veronica to live in, with very tight security. "Who is that person? How did he know that Veronica was in this city and lived here?" Leon muttered softly, but enough to be heard by Ariana's ears. "Do you have an enemy who is always targeting you?"

Leon left the room where Udin was being held and locked the door. Then he took out his cellphone and called someone. "Hello. I have a task for you!" Then Leon explained what tasks Cindy, the person he contacted, had to do. [Okay, Young Master. I'll do it right away!] Hearing that satisfactory answer, Leon immediately ended the call. Leon exhaled roughly, then put his cellphone into his pants pocket. He really felt dizzy and stressed. Andre and Felix's problems were not over yet, he had to face Veronica's problem.Meanwhile, Cindy immediately spread her men to secure the nearest airports that Dion could reach. After getting news from Cindy, Robert also moved, together with Bobby ordering IT experts to hack CCTV to the airport and also look for flight tickets in the names of Dion Han and Sherin Veronica Mahendra. After searching everywhere, they finally found their flight tickets to Singapore which were booked for the next two hours. Leon immediately moved quickly, ordering Henri,

Luckily, Henri had memorized the car's license plate. Then he grabbed his cell phone from his pants pocket and called someone. "Hello, I need your help. Immediately!" It was not in vain that Robert recommended Henri to Leon because the man was proven to be able to respond quickly to the situations and conditions he faced. Henri quickly connected with Marcel, an IT expert that Robert had introduced to him. The car's license plate number was immediately tracked. It only took a few minutes, and finally the owner of the car that Dion and Veronica were riding in was found.[The owner is a Singaporean named John Frederick. I'll share this with his home address] Marcel replied from the other side. "Okay, Marcel. Thanks for the information!" [You're welcome. Oh yeah, I'll also share information about Dion and John Frederick. Maybe you'll need it later] "Okay."[John Frederick is Dion Han's confidant who is trusted to manage Dion Han's assets in Singapore. Dion Han has a fairly large hou

Henri immediately reached into his pants pocket and took out his cellphone. Then Henri's minimalist eyes widened when he saw who had contacted him. "Oh, what should I do? What should I tell him?" Young Master Leon. That was the name on Henri's cellphone screen. Of course Henri felt anxious because he had not done his job well. The cellphone kept ringing, until it finally turned itself off. However, before Henri could breathe a sigh of relief, the call from the same number rang again. Inevitably, Henri picked it up, while his mouth was muttering prayers that Leon would not be angry with him."Hello, Young Master. I'm sorry, Young Master. I haven't finished the task that Young Master gave me until now," said Henri with all his guilt. [Finish it immediately and give me good news!]"Okay, Young Master. I will finish my task immediately."Henri sighed in relief. His Young Master was not angry. However, Leon's firm and straightforward words certainly reflected his master's annoyance. Hen
(Not) a Preferred Son-in-Law 53. At Singapore
Henri took a deep breath after replying to Leon's message. He had not found a way to enter the elite housing complex. Henri got up from his seat, then stood while observing the road. Suddenly, he got an idea when he saw a vehicle passing by.A garbage truck was on the other side of the housing complex road, and was about to cross to reach the gate of the housing complex. In his heart, Henri guessed that the garbage truck must be about to pick up the garbage in the elite housing complex. Henri hurriedly ran over, he helped the truck cross until it arrived on the other side safely."Thank you, Sir," said the garbage truck driver once his car had reached the other side, he stopped for a moment to thank Henri."Sir, may I have a ride in the car? I want to go inside but the security guard is blocking me. I have a relative who needs help," Henri asked, he deliberately put on a pitiful face so that the driver would feel sorry for him and give Henri a ride. "Okay. Get in!" Henri widened his

Meanwhile, the plane that Leon was on had started to take off. Cindy seriously listened to what Leon was saying. Leon's plan when he arrived in Singapore. "So, are we going to order an online taxi or use the taxi service that is already at the airport, Young Master?" Cindy asked once Leon finished explaining his plan. "Just make it quick, Cindy. If you order online, you'll have to wait." "Okay, Young Master. Is there anything else you need?" "Remember, find a car rental place as soon as possible, okay? My plan can't be delayed any longer.""Okay, Young Master." Cindy answered quickly. She wrote down everything Leon asked for in her small notebook. So, after arriving at the hotel later, Cindy had to find a car rental place to carry out Leon's plan. Cindy couldn't book now because she wasn't allowed to activate her cellphone while they were in flight. "Um... Cindy, find me some food other than this. I'm so hungry but I don't like any of these foods." "Earlier when the flight atte

Understandably, the house had such a large area, surrounded by a garden that stretched along the front and back of the house. While a wide swimming pool was next to the house. Henri held his breath when the security guard was right in front of him, as if afraid that the sound of his breathing would be heard by the security guard. They were only blocked by bushes, with a distance of less than one meter. Henri breathed a sigh of relief, when finally the security guard continued to walk away from him. In his heart he was grateful that the security guard did not realize his presence.After making sure the security guard was no longer visible, Henri immediately came out of hiding. He already knew where Veronica was. At dusk, Henri had started climbing a tree. Accidentally, he saw a beautiful woman closing the window. Henri

Not getting an answer from Veronica, Ariana couldn't hold back her emotions any longer.

83. The Meeting
Leon had indeed told Robert what had happened, until finally Robert himself felt curious about the message Leon had received from Hary. "He's got guts too. He tried to blackmail me. But just look, what will happen to him because of his actions!" Without Hary knowing, Leon had blocked the cellphone through the IT expert he had ordered, so that it could not be opened unless using the original password. Leon was not affected by Hary's threat. "Shouldn't you meet that person, Sir?"Leon had indeed told Robert what had happened, until finally Robert himself was curious about what Hary would do if he met Leon. "For what? The important files in it cannot be opened. In fact, the files have been deleted from here by the IT expert who managed to hack my cellphone." Robert nodded hearing Leon's words. Indeed, there was no point in serving a money-hungry person like Hary. Having already caused problems in the company with a corruption case, how could Hary act up again to blackmail Leon. "Un

His cellphone is here, it's no use if we call him, it won't connect, right?"Toby denied it again, making Hary annoyed."Yes, we have to try, Leon is not a poor person who only has one cellphone. He must have other cellphones and numbers. If not, we can contact him through his assistant. Or through anyone in the company. You, you really don't use your brain properly!" Hary grumbled at Toby at length, he had racked his brain and thought about what they wanted to do, but Toby always made Hary's blood boil with his pessimistic words. Truly the definition of a person with a short mind. "Okay, I'll just follow what you say. You make the plan, I'll ex

Meanwhile, Veronica who had just been left by Aurelia laughed softly, laughing at Aurelia's behavior. "When he came he was so fierce, but it turns out that's all the guts he had. His negotiation skills are also really bad." Veronica shook her head. She half couldn't believe that Aurelia was pregnant with Leon's child. Veronica knew very well that Leon was not a man who would follow his lust carelessly. Leon was a man who guarded himself from women who were not his wives.Only Veronica, whose wife has never been touched carelessly, let alone other women. Leon only kissed her forehead or cheek, sometimes kissed the back of Veronica's hand. He didn't do anything strange even though Veronica was his legal wife. They had never even had sex like a husband and wife. Leon knew that Veronica was sick and he never forced her to do it. "Just look, if she's really pregnant, her stomach will definitely get bigger in the next few months. I already suspected that she was faking it earlier. But, w
