Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 242

Abroad.

When Mia woke up, her husband was nowhere to be seen. She'd been vaccinated, so she started packing her bags to head back home.

Last night, Andre got a call, and Mia found out there was some trouble with Leo back home.

They missed the last flight of the night, so they had to leave at noon today. Andre got busy with his stuff, so she started packing up their luggage in the hotel room.

At 10 o'clock, Andre came back to find their bags all packed up by his wife.

"Mia?" he called out.

"I'm in the bathroom," her voice echoed from the bathroom.

Andre pushed open the bathroom door to find his wife blow-drying her hair.

"Did you pack up everything?" he asked.

"Yup, did you get the tickets?" she fired back.

Andre pulled out their IDs and said, "Our ride's waiting downstairs, let's hit the road after you're done with your hair."

Mia turned off the hairdryer, gave her hair a quick fix, and then followed her husband out of the hotel.

On their way home, Mia asked worriedly, "Honey, Leo didn't get hurt, did he? He's got a sharp mind but a weak body. If someone laid a hand on him, he might not handle it."

Andre replied, "Nah, he was just detained."

Last night, Andre was planning to take his wife for a night out when he got a call from Leo.

"Are you Mr. Cedillo? A guy claiming to be your nephew stirred up a ruckus in my shop. I need to verify if he's impersonating."

Andre asked, "Who are you?"

"Your nephew must have saved your number on his phone if you're getting this call. Mr. Cedillo, could you come and pick him up from my shop?"

Andre walked over to the window.

Mia was looking up tourist spots on her phone, but she sensed something was off. She put down her phone and looked at her husband's back.

"I can't remember everyone, but I need to know who the hell detained my nephew."

"Andre, our boss is actually a good friend of yours, Brian Marshal. You should know him, right?"

Andre scoffed, "I don't recall having a friend named Brian. Many people chat me up a bit and start claiming they're my pals."

Brian, on the other end of the line, was fuming at Andre's words.

"Andre, since you and our boss aren't close, we don't have to be nice to Mr. Leo."

Andre gave a light laugh, "I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys deal with my nephew."

He hung up.

Brian slammed his fist on the table, "Andre disrespected me. I saved him once, he should be grateful for a lifetime. But the Cedillo family, they're heartless. They only helped me for a decade or so and then distanced themselves from the Marshal Group. Now, the way he talks is just unacceptable."

The man on the sofa didn't say a word, just puffing away on his cigarette. He put Leo's phone on the table. The standout feature was the leaf tattoo on his wrist.

"Boss, the Obsidian Cafe got shut down by Chad. And before the shutdown, Leo had been there."
