Deep love: insatiable lover

Chapter 23: Threats Failed



-Yes, I know,” Orlando replied casually.

Although Orlando hated Vanessa for her betrayal, he only wanted her to be the mother of his children, and he himself did not understand why.

Maybe it was because love and hate were two sides of the same coin and in his heart he still loved Vanessa.

Gerardo and Orlando were very busy in the company hiding all the information they did not want to show Dylan. Apparently, they treated Dylan with courtesy, but they really feared him a lot.

However, Dylan made an unexpected decision. He did not join the Moya Group, but bought an entire building and refurbished it with state-of-the-art equipment.

In the living room of the Villa Moya, Gerardo asked Dylan seriously:

-Dylan, why do you want to start your own company all of a sudden? I have already offered you the position of director, as I am too old and Orlando is too young, Grupo Moya needs you very much.

-Gerardo, you are still very young and I am sure you can continue to manage the company. On the other hand, Orlando is a talented young man who is capable of taking over the company without my help. Besides, I have been abroad for many years and it would not be appropriate for me to occupy such an important position since I have done nothing for Grupo Moya.

Seeing that Dylan rejected him so firmly, Gerardo did not insist any more.

After all, it was Dylan who had given up the chance to join the Moya Group and no one could reproach him for this in the future.

Nevertheless, Gerard had to persuade him falsely:

-But, you are a member of the Moya family and you are the only son of my older brother. No one can say anything about you joining the Group, and I know you are very capable.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

-Thank you Gerardo, but I want to try to start my career on my own.

Dylan dismissed him with a polite, but false smile. Vanessa wanted to claw his eyes out, for she knew very well that this man was the devil himself.

Just as Vanessa was cursing him inwardly, Dylan crossed a mysterious glance at her.

“How terrible this man is! He seems to know that I’m criticising him, this bastard is very dangerous, and why doesn’t grandfather realise this?”

Dylan withdrew his gaze as he watched his feral kitten turn into an obedient little rabbit. But Gerard didn’t notice any of that.

-Well, Dylan, since you don’t want it, I won’t insist anymore. It’s good to be adventurous at a young age, I’ll still save your place in the company, remember that the Moya family always supports you.

-Thank you,” Dylan nodded and Gerard looked at him as if he was really pleased with his nephew.

-Vanessa, is your ankle better now? Does it still hurt?

-It’s better now, grandfather. Camilo said I’ll be better in a few days.

-Well,” Gerardo patted her hand and looked at her lovingly.

-If you feel bored at home, call Orlando and ask him to come with you to get some fresh air. If you can’t walk, you can find a good place to sit, it’s not good to spend all your time in the room.

-Yes, grandfather.

Then Gerard stood up with his cane and said:

-Well, I’m going to sleep, because age forces me to take a nap.

-I’ll go with you,” said Vanessa, but just as she was about to stand up, Gerardo stopped her.

-There’s no need, my child, I’m still very healthy. Rather, you need to take better care of yourself, you haven’t got completely better.

-Mrs. Vanessa, don’t worry, I will accompany Mr. Gerardo,” said Jaime, who was standing to one side.

-That’s right, Jaime will accompany me.

Jaime stepped forward and accompanied Gerardo.

Normally the maids left the room after the cleaning was done, so it was just Vanessa and Dylan alone. After confirming that no one was there, Vanessa said to him:

-Dylan, aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Grandpa everything?

-What do you mean by this, niece?

Dylan smiled and looked with interest at Vanessa, who looked like a naughty kitten trying to provoke him with her little paw.

-You came back in advance but lied to grandfather. If I revealed it to him, he would realise your evil intentions.

“I’m sure he’s afraid! And so I can threaten him to get him to leave me alone – what a fool I was not to think of it sooner!”

Vanessa looked proud, but Dylan looked at her with a deep smile and said:

-Well, how do you know I came back to the country in advance? And why didn’t you tell your grandfather before?

-It’s because…

Vanessa choked at Dylan’s mocking words, as she couldn’t say that she had met Dylan in that bar, and that’s why she knew he had come back in advance, that would be too embarrassing to tell in front of her grandfather.

“Wow, how stupid of me!”

Vanessa was both irritated and depressed, as her plan had failed, but she refused to give up and threatened the man:

-Well, be very careful that he doesn’t catch you, otherwise I’ll tell grandfather.

Dylan arched his eyebrows, because he thought his feral kitten was so cute.

After losing in the combat round, Vanessa tried to avoid meeting Dylan, fortunately he had to leave the house frequently for his business.

When Vanessa’s ankle recovered, she immediately returned to the Villa Real with the excuse of work. She would rather see Orlando and Melina than be with this Dylan, because he was so cunning, completely dominating her.

After working hard for a few days, Vanessa regained her work status.

That day, when she was on her way to work, she received a call from Orlando. Vanessa stared at her mobile phone for a long time and answered before the call hung up.

-Vanessa, why are you taking so long to answer? Do you think I’m patient with you?

-Not at all,” Vanessa replied calmly and raised a smirk. What’s wrong?

“Don’t tell me you’re calling to annoy me.”

-I left an important document in the study, bring it to me, I need it for a meeting in half an hour.
