Chapter 79: Dylan, don’t you have your own car?
-NO, THANK YOU! -replied Vanessa without thinking.
That truth no longer mattered, because it wouldn’t change anything and she would rather continue to be blamed. It was more important to find the opportunity to separate herself from Orlando and the Moya family.
Dylan looked at Vanessa with narrowed eyes, it didn’t seem to matter at all to her anymore, but he had to look into it. In fact, he had started looking into it and would soon have the results.
However, I would not reveal the result to Vanessa until the time was right….
Dylan was a very patient man, a predator who wouldn’t bare his fangs if he couldn’t make a kill.
-Go away, I’m going to Villa Moya.
Vanessa threw Orlando out, because she was very upset to see him and her head ached at the thought of having to act in the Moya family.
-Well, we’ll see you soon anyway.
Dylan shrugged his shoulders and left in such a light-hearted manner that Vanessa was surprised.
However, she was turning the Moya family affairs over in her head and did not grasp the hidden meaning in his words.
Arriving at Villa Moya, Vanessa greeted Jaime with a smile, because her politeness did not allow her to vent her hatred for Orlando on others and she would treat people with respect as always, but only out of politeness and formality.
-Good morning, Jaime.
-Good morning, Mrs. Vanessa. Mr. Gerardo, Mr. Orlando and Mr. Dylan are in the living room waiting for you.
-Dylan?
“Why is this man coming? Don’t tell me he’s coming to help me?”
-Yes, Mr Dylan arrived recently.
-Okay.
Vanessa sneered, because she didn’t care why Dylan was here. But she hadn’t asked for his help, so if anything happened, it would be Dylan’s responsibility.
-Good morning, Grandpa, Dylan,” Vanessa greeted and ignored Orlando completely.
He then sat in the seat furthest away from Orlando to keep his distance.
Orlando’s expression was grim and he was even more enraged to see such an act from Vanessa.
-Hello, Vanessa. They say you’re in charge of the Cazalla Group, right? How are you doing? Are you tired? -asked Gerardo with a smile.
Apparently, he was very worried about Vanessa, but it was unclear whether this was true.
Vanessa was no longer naïve enough to think that Gerardo knew nothing, nor was she going to be moved by his hypocritical performance, but she simply had to play the part of pretending.
-Yes, the work is tiring, but I’m very excited, because I didn’t know that managing a company is so much fun. When my father recovers, I might go to work for Grupo Moya. How do you like the idea, grandfather?From NôvelDrama.Org.
Vanessa also knew how to play the fool and was capable of doing so if Gerardo accepted it.
-What a child, you do like to joke! -Gerardo smiled and ignored Vanessa’s words.
-I just want to cheer you up a bit, grandpa,” Vanessa pretended as if it was really a joke.
Gerardo had asked Vanessa to come back because he wanted Orlando to apologise and for her to drop the matter.
Unexpectedly, Dylan arrived before Vanessa and Gerardo could not send away a nephew who came to visit him. So, he had to abandon his plan.
-Come on, dinner would be ready by now and they are your favourite dishes. Vanessa, you need to eat more, you’ve lost a lot of weight because of the company’s business.
-At your command, grandfather,” Vanessa smiled as usual.
Gerardo hated Dylan even more for his sudden appearance.
After dinner, Gerardo thought that Dylan would leave and he could solve the case of the two young men.
But Dylan was there with no desire to leave!
Moreover, Dylan was keen to play chess with Orlando and the latter had to accept it because of his superficial respect, even though he did not feel like it at all.
As everyone was in the living room, Gerardo could not say anything to Vanessa and the time went by little by little.
When it was getting late, Vanessa was leaving and Gerardo could not force her to stay because of what he had promised her earlier.
-Orlando, accompany Vanessa.
So, Gerardo had to give in and warned Orlando with a stealthy look so that he would ask for forgiveness alone and cheer up Vanessa.
However, between Vanessa and Orlando there was only war.
-Vanessa, I’m not going to accept the divorce. If you want to go to court, go ahead. No one will take your case!
-We’ll see!
-We’ll see? -Do you still remember how the big banks refused to lend to the Cazalla Group? Nobody will help you, because nobody is stupid enough to go against the Moya family.
“Well, I know someone who dares to go against your family, but I’m not going to tell you.”
Vanessa passed on this extraordinarily conceited person, because she had already realised his stupidity after having suffered so much and she was not going to waste any more time on this man.
As Vanessa closed the door and was starting the car, Dylan came striding up and said matter-of-factly:
-Just in time. Vanessa, will you give me a lift?
That said, Dylan shamelessly sat in the passenger seat and buckled his seatbelt.
-Dylan, don’t you have your own car?
Vanessa didn’t expect this man to be so bold and she watched him angrily on the sly.
-Coincidentally, the driver has just told me that the car has broken down.
-There is a driver in Villa Moya.
-It’s too late now. Since you’re going back, we’re going in the same direction,” Dylan said as if it was nothing and looked at Orlando. Orlando, I don’t suppose you don’t mind if Vanessa gives me a lift back on the way, do you?
“Would anyone say yes in this case?”
Vanessa criticised inwardly and saw that Orlando was holding in his anger, while saying that nothing was wrong.
-Great,” said Dylan, relieved. Well, we’re off then.
Vanessa was speechless at how brazen this man was.
