Chapter 238: I have achieved my goal
-Grandpa, you’re old, it’s better not to get angry so easily.
Orlando’s fingers stroked idly across the dark and dreary surface of his desk, unconcerned.
-Get out of here! Sinner, the Moya family no longer has you as a person. The Moya group is owned by the Moya family and you, an outsider, have no business being here, let alone sitting in my seat!
Gerard’s face turned white with anger and his chest rose and fell violently.
Jaime saw him and rushed to help him.
-Sir, you mustn’t get angry, be careful with your blood pressure.
Yes grandfather, you must be careful or your blood pressure will skyrocket – no joke.
Gerardo was already furious and Orlando added fuel to the fire. When Gerardo was about to faint, Jaime helped him sit up and poured him a glass of water to calm him down.
-Mr. Orlando, you have to stop being angry with him.
Jaime looked disapprovingly at Orlando, who shrugged his shoulders and looked at Gerardo with interest, as if watching a joke.
Although nothing more was said, it made Gerardo furious.
When Gerardo’s mood had calmed, Orlando said deliberately.
-Don’t worry, I came to the office today on a whim. I still have the self-consciousness to know that Grupo Moya is yours to leave to your own great-grandson. So yes, I really just came to have a look around.
He did it on purpose.
Knowing full well that Gerard had found out that his great-grandson, in whom he had placed so much hope, was a loser, he deliberately said so.
As it was, Gerard’s anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
Orlando stood up and looked at Gerardo with a smile on his face as he watched him die of exasperation and said.
-Grandfather, I’m waiting for you to raise a good heir to fight me.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
-You… you… you…
Gerardo shook hands with him and pointed at Orlando, but could not say anything.
Orlando didn’t care at all what it would do to his company if he angered Gerardo; the domain was already in his hands anyway, so he didn’t need to worry at all.
-If you are not well you must rest, otherwise your body will collapse before the future heir you value grows up, how unprofitable that would be.
Before leaving, Orlando did not forget to irritate Gerardo.
After he left, there was a banging noise in the office.
-This sinner!
Gerard cursed and covered his chest, clearly furious.
-He did it on purpose, didn’t he, Jaime, that sinner already knew that the boy was handicapped? How dare he be so arrogant in front of me.
It was clear that the DS Group was going to be demoralised by him first, but he didn’t expect Orlando to suddenly become arrogant in front of him.
-That… he shouldn’t know. After all, you’ve blocked the hospital part, he can’t find out.
At Jaime’s reassurance, Gerardo’s anger slowly subsided.
-Hmph, so what if that sinner knows? Is it hard to say that without a useful pawn, I can’t do anything to make him?
As long as the power in his hands is still there and his roots are still there, sooner or later he will have Orlando meekly under his control one day.
Jaime looked at Gerardo’s confident gaze and said nothing.
Word soon spread in Pacifica City that the relationship between grandfather and grandson had broken down, and Dylan was, of course, the first to know.
Of course, he knew that.
-With no more influence in Gerardo’s hands, the only heir to the Moya family is now Orlando, and what good does that do you? You are surprised that you are so happy to be in a hurry when the two of them have to be united again and there will be no more divisions, let alone someone who will remain the knife in your hand.
Vanessa looked at Dylan with a mocking look.
Shouldn’t Dylan be worried in this situation?
-Why should I be in a hurry? -Dylan raised his eyebrows, with a cold, sharp light in his deep-set eyes, “The reason Gerardo and Orlando turned on each other was to keep each other in check, but the more important purpose was to discover the hidden power the old man had. I have achieved my goal, no matter if Gerardo and Orlando are still at each other’s throats or if they have a strong relationship with each other.
Vanessa froze, surprisingly not in the least surprised.
“The man has never taken a step, but planned more, has he? There’s no telling how much Gerard will regret the day his intentions are revealed.”
-Then congratulations.
Vanessa also wanted Dylan’s plan to be completed sooner, after all that was the key to a clean break.
-To celebrate, let’s have a date today.
-Sorry, I’m not in the mood.
She had been held captive by Dylan for five days and if he didn’t return she feared Mercedes would simply call the police.
Even the Cazalla Group’s stuff can only be managed remotely by Enrique, via the Internet.
At this stage, it is a miracle that he has managed to keep his cool.
-In that case, do you still want to stay with me?
Vanessa gave Dylan a hard look.
“Do you think I can’t hear the threat in your words?”
In the end the two had a date, a dinner, a movie and home. But this time it was back to Cazalla’s house.
-Remember to think of me.
Dylan spoke warmly, but Vanessa didn’t even look at him, moving quickly to open the door and leave without looking back. Not only did she not stop, it was as if there was an avalanche chasing her.
-How unloving.
Dylan laughed softly, his tone indulgent and affectionate.
Taking a deep breath, Vanessa pushed open the door and entered. For a moment she was embarrassed to see Mercedes sitting in the living room.
-You’re back.
-Mum.
Vanessa rushed over to Mercedes, holding her hand but not knowing what to say. She knew that even if she didn’t say anything, Mercedes knew where she had been all these days.
But Vanessa was relieved that Mercedes didn’t ask.
-It’s late, you should rest early.
-You too, don’t get too tired.
Vanessa smiled and walked up the stairs with a firm step. She didn’t dare stay with Mercedes for long, she always felt guilty.
Only when his figure disappeared around the corner of the staircase did Mercedes sigh.
“I don’t know what my daughter has done wrong in her last life that she has to go through so much pain and suffering in this life. When will such a life end?”
After showering and lying in her own bed, Vanessa tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
“Dylan is also from the Moya family, but what’s his problem with Gerardo?
Unable to think about it, Vanessa didn’t want to let herself think about anything to do with Dylan either. Rolling several times in bed under the covers, Vanessa forced herself to close her eyes and stop thinking about Dylan.
He only had to look after his own affairs and those of the Cazalla Group.
“And other things… forget it, take it one step at a time.”
