Chapter 240: Maybe We Can Work Together
-What, staring dumbfounded?
Dylan’s teasing brought Vanessa back to reality, and it was a shame she’d been caught eavesdropping. She looked away, but the tips of her reddened ears gave it all away.
Dylan was satisfied with this.
Being able to make Vanessa look silly shows that you have charisma.
-It is not too late to take a break and eat before getting busy.
As if in response to Dylan’s words, the takeaway from the hotel arrived just in time. As the security guard downstairs was doing his job, Dylan made the trip himself and took it upstairs.
-Eat it while it’s hot, you can’t go hungry.
Dylan smiled as he opened the takeaways one by one and placed them on a side table.
Vanessa went into the living room to wash her hands and came out to sit across from Dylan. The food at the three-star restaurant was very good and everything was particularly appetizing, and Vanessa was very hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and ate without pretending.
Despite Dylan’s particularly intense stare, Vanessa did her best to ignore it.
-Is it good?
-It’s pretty good.
-Then eat more.
Dylan, who does not eat on his own, exclusively serves Vanessa’s food, taking care of her as if he did not do it for himself.
Vanessa was soon full and only after Dylan confirmed that she had eaten the rest of the food, she picked up her chopsticks and ate it all.
-You’re not really reluctant to eat leftovers?
-Of course, that’s because it’s what’s left of you.
Caught by the seduction of the words of love.
-I have work to do and it may take a long time, so you’d better get back early.
-Then all the more reason for me to stay with you.
Dylan still didn’t care about Vanessa’s eviction, his deep eyes fixed firmly on her, Vanessa couldn’t talk about it and simply ignored him, leaving the man in the corner of her mind and concentrating on her work.
Working into the wee hours of the morning, the job was almost finished.
In reality, Dylan left without asking her to follow him, left Vanessa at the door of Cazalla’s house, saw her enter and left.
“What do you want to do again?”
Vanessa frowned at the thought.
I didn’t know what happened again between the Moya Group and the DS Group, but in any case, it seemed that both parties had given in by the time Vanessa regained attention.
Later, Dylan told him that it was Orlando who returned the Moya family fairly.
At this moment, La casa de Moya.
-How dare you come back here?
Gerardo looked at Orlando with a grimace, almost breaking the teapot in his hand in his excitement. The sight of his smug face made Gerardo think of the boy who had been disabled.
“If Orlando had no problems with Melina, how could something like this be born. When Orlando finds out the truth, he will make fun of me”.
-Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have a son here, so I came to check. How come I don’t see Pilar?
Orlando said it on purpose.
For the second time, Gerardo’s eyes changed and he stared at Orlando with a grim look.
-You know that.
-Knowing what?
Orlando deliberately pretended not to understand, leaning back on the sofa, nonchalantly stretching out his arms and looking at Gerardo with a wry smile.
“He must have known.”
Gerard’s face paled with anger.
-You knew it and you came here on purpose to piss me off! Do you have to piss me off, sinner?This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
-How so? -Orlando denied with a smile, but his eyes were full of mockery, “You are my grandfather, it was hard enough to raise me. Although in your mind I was just a pawn, but unfortunately, now that pawn has a mind of its own.
-Get out of here, get out of here!
-If I go, who will be your heir. Grandfather, you don’t want to have one of your own, do you? I have no problem with that, but you’re an old man, are you sure you’re still capable?
Gerardo was shaking with rage.
-You… you’re really going to piss me off.
Orlando shrugs indifferently.
-I’m just being honest.
He laughs derisively.
-Grandfather, the only person you can count on now is me, the future heir of Grupo Moya, just me, Orlando, and it is a pity that although I wanted to compete with the best heir you have produced, God did not give me that opportunity.
Gerardo was so angry that he couldn’t even speak, he covered his chest and looked angrily at Orlando.
-Grandfather, you mustn’t get excited, take care of your health. Well, I’ve come back today just to see you make a fool of yourself. Now that I’ve finished looking, I’ll go first.
Orlando said, surprisingly, and got up to leave.
-Stop right there!
Gerardo wanted to strangle Orlando, but he is the only one he can count on. The Moya family must not fall into Dylan’s hands.
-Grandfather, do you have any more orders?
Orlando’s hands were in his trouser pockets as he stood still and looked at Gerardo.
-Do you really think the Moya family can only be handed over to you to inherit? Don’t forget, there’s Dylan! If you can’t control the Moya family, then don’t blame the Moya family for becoming Dylan.
-Oh, yeah?
Orlando did not take Gerardo’s threats seriously at all, he even found them laughable.
-Do you believe what you tell yourself? If you were really willing to give the Moya family to Dylan, you would have given it to him long before he reached adulthood. Aren’t you afraid that the Moya family will fall into his hands, so you try to manipulate me in every possible way?
He’s not stupid, so how can he not see this.
Gerardo suppressed his anger and looked at Orlando.
-Still, do you think I would give the entire Moya family to a disobedient sinner? As you can see, I have more than the Moya Group on my hands.
Orlando turned around and found himself face to face with Gerardo.
He slowly curved his lips into a sharp, ambitious smile.
-Grandfather, I think we can work together.
Gerardo narrowed his eyes and looked at Orlando suspiciously.
What if it’s a trap when you suddenly say you want to cooperate?
-You don’t want the Moya family to fall into Dylan’s hands and you want to secure your rights. I, on the other hand, want to use all the power of the Moya family to bring Dylan under my feet. In a sense, we have the same purpose, don’t we?
-Are you still in love with Vanessa today?
Gerardo realised Orlando’s purpose and questioned.
At the mention of Vanessa, his tone was one of disgust.
I can’t believe that a woman who seems to be so well behaved would get involved with Dylan within marriage. What a disgrace for the Moya family.
-This is my business, grandfather, and if you want to achieve your own ends, you’d better stay out of my business!
