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.

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

Bang!The car hit the tembesu tree where Henri was hiding. Henri was shocked. His eyes bulged, his mouth wide open without him realizing it. However, Henri's consciousness immediately returned when he heard the woman's screams for help. Like it or not, Henri immediately came out of his hiding place. His human side felt called to help the woman. He immediately ran to the car and knocked on the window. "Please open the window, ma'am. I'll help you out," said Henri with a worried face. Henri smelled the smell of car fuel wafting through the air. It was certain that there was a leak in the car's fuel tank.

Meanwhile, Leon, who had read Henri's message, immediately left with Cindy for S Hospital.

A few moments later, Leon had arrived in front of S Hospital. He parked his car right in front of a food stall that was still closed. Just as Leon was about to ask Henri where he was waiting, Henri had approached his car."Get in! You were ordered to spy on the housing complex but instead you ended up in this hospital," Leon quipped with a straight face. Henri entered the car, then sat beside Leon. Meanwhile Cindy had not driven the car, still waiting for their orders on where to go next. "I'm sorry, Young Master. The accident happened right before my eyes. Of course I couldn'

Leon nodded in understanding, then with a gesture he asked for Henri's rope. Henri's brow furrowed in confusion, "What's the rope for, Young Master?" "You guys just wait here. I'm going to do something first!" "What do you want, Young Master?" Henri asked, but Leon didn't answer. Leon instead immediately opened the door and got out of the car. Leaving Henri and Cindy who were worried about what the man who was their boss would do. "Sir Henri, wouldn't it be better if you accompany Young Master, let me guard the car?" Cindy asked with a look of obvious anxiety. Leon had almost lost his life once, and Cindy didn't want that to happen again.Okay. I'll catch up with the Young Master. You better move a little bit forward, Miss Cindy. Don't be right in front of this house or the security guard will suspect us.""Okay, Sir. I'll wait across the street!" Cindy pointed to the big house across the street not far from Dion's house."Okay, I'll go first," said Henri, without waiting for Cind

Cindy and Henri were silent, they were racking their brains and making plans. Cindy looked outside, at the residential streets that looked deserted. However, when a car passed by, Cindy suddenly screamed loudly. "I found a way!" "How?" Henri immediately answered what Cindy said. "That! That car!" Cindy pointed at Henri. Henri directed his gaze at what Cindy was pointing at. A pest control car seemed to be getting further away from their sight."Pest control car? Don't tell me we're going to disguise ourselves as...""Yes! That's the way!" Cindy interrupted quickly, she was very enthusiastic about her idea."Okay. That can be arranged."This time it was Leon who chimed in. With money, anything would be possible. What was important now was how they would lobby the driver and workers so that the three of them could disguise themselves with the pest control car."Let's just wait for the car to come back here, then we'll intercept them. Just leave everything to me," Henri replied confi

The butler gave up. He had been influenced by Leon's words. He was afraid that John would be angry with him for letting Leon stay there too long, not going straight to work. He immediately took Leon and Henri to the guest room where Veronica was. However, a voice stopped them. "Wait!" Leon was shocked when he turned his head and found Dion staring at him. Not wanting Dion to feel suspicious, Leon immediately neutralized his feelings, pretending not to know Dion. 'Damn! Why did he have to show up? Shouldn't he be leaving today?' Leon thought angrily."Who are you? Why did you come into my house?" Dion asked while looking at Leon and Henri alternately. Dion felt like he didn't recognize the two people. He was surprised, where did they come from, why suddenly there were two strangers wearing masks and pest control uniforms. Dion also didn't feel like he had called them. "We are pest control officers, sir. It was Mr. John who called us to come to your house." Henri answered it, beca

Dion immediately reached inside his jacket and took the weapon that was tucked there.Leon's instincts told him that he was in danger. He turned around and was shocked when suddenly Dion pointed the weapon at him. Leon took a deep breath, he didn't move and stared at Dion, watching for any opening to fight back."What did you do to Veronica?" Dion snapped with a red face because it was covered in anger."I should be the one asking, what did you do to my wife."Leon said it calmly, as if he was not afraid and disturbed by Dion's gun pointing. "Wife? A wife who doesn't want the marriage? Vero is my lover. She only loves me." Dion remained firm in his opinion, he did not accept Veronica marrying someone else. "Lover? Who has the stronger status here? I am her husband, not just her lover anymore. She is already bound to me before God and witnessed by many people.
