Chapter 50: A Trap for Orlando
Dylan had carefully changed Vanessa’s bandage, but because of Orlando’s force, the wounds opened up again.
Vanessa pulled her hand away from Orlando’s, her face pale with immense pain, but Orlando thought she hated him so much that she didn’t even want to touch him.
-Ha. Wow, Vanessa, you’ve got some nerve,” Orlando scolded and looked at her with a domineering stance.
In Orlando’s gaze, there was nothing but twisted hatred, it was terrible, it looked like something was being planned. Vanessa returned another hateful look as she held his sore hands stealthily.
-We are torturing each other, Orlando. Won’t you put an end to this tragedy?
-Never,” Orlando refused and left in disgust.
The door slammed shut and Mercedes, who was chatting on the phone in the living room, panicked and looked up to the first floor, covering the phone.
When she saw Orlando come downstairs, her words were blocked by his sombre face and Mercedes hung up the phone.
-Orlando, what’s wrong? Have you had a fight with Vanessa? -asked Mercedes worriedly.
-Mum, I have to go now.
Orlando tried to control his emotions as much as possible in front of Mercedes, but his expression was still strange and he left quickly after greeting her.
-What’s wrong with them? -Mercedes muttered, frowning, as she watched Orlando walk away.
Mercedes called her friend to apologise and to arrange the next meeting. Then she hung up and went upstairs to find Vanessa.
-Vanessa, come in, it’s mum,” Mercedes knocked on the door and entered before she received an answer.
Vanessa hid her injured hands and looked at Mercedes with a stiff smile.
-Mum, what’s wrong?
-What happened to you and Orlando? Did you have a fight? -Mercedes sat down next to the bed and asked worriedly.
-It’s just a simple fight. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine in two days.
-Is it a simple fight? I see Orlando is very angry, what happened?
In Mercedes’ impression, Orlando had always been a nice guy and she thought her son-in-law had a very good temper and loved Vanessa. Something very serious must have happened to make Orlando like this.
-Come on, mum, it’s nothing serious, it’s just a fight. She would have made a bad face because she was feeling bad. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine in a few days.
-Orlando is a good boy and I don’t want to see you fighting.
-Yes, yes, I know. I promise not to fight with him anymore, okay?
Seeing that Mercedes was unhappy, Vanessa rushed to comfort her and tried to keep her smile, while her heart ached a lot.
When she saw Mercedes’ worries, Vanessa wanted to confess everything, but Mercedes started coughing loudly and she had to keep her words to herself.
-Mum…
-Cof, cof…
-Mum, what’s wrong?
-Cof, Cof…” Mercedes kept coughing and turned pale.
It took him a while to suppress it and he said:
-I’m fine, it’s business as usual.
Mercedes had been weak since giving birth to Vanessa and was still uncomfortable from time to time, despite all the care. When she felt discomfort, she had less immunity and got sick more easily.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
So Vanessa could not confess the truth, in case it was an attack on Mercedes’ health.
-Mummy, sit down for a while, I’ll pour you a glass of water.
Vanessa patted Mercedes on the back and went to pour water for Mercedes. Watching her drink the glass of water, Vanessa saw her face improve somewhat and breathed a sigh of relief.
-Lately, you need to worry less and rest more for the sake of your health.
-I’m worried about you.
-Don’t worry, Orlando and I get along fine, don’t worry about us.
Later, Vanessa decided to confess when her mother was feeling better.
-You’re not a child anymore, you have to do things by thinking.
-Okay.
After comforting Mercedes and escorting her to her room, Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief.
The worrying thing was the Cazalla Group, because she had begged Orlando to help her, but after thinking about what he did, she was even disgusted at the thought of him. And, Vanessa felt exhausted lying in bed.
On the other hand, Dylan already knew about the crisis in the Cazalla Group.
-Sir, everything you ordered is done,” said Mateo Gayoso, Dylan’s subordinate.
-And Lucho Pozo?
-According to his instructions, he will no longer be allowed to stay in the Peaceful City. In addition, we also told his wife that he had a lover outside and his wife wanted him to keep all the money because of his betrayal.
-What about Lucho’s company?
-A few days ago, your president personally negotiated a project, but it is a total trap and anyone will lose all their money if they participate in this project.
Dylan’s fingers tapped the table in silence and Mateo didn’t dare say anything, he stood waiting on the side respectfully.
-It is not enough.
-What else do we do?
-Tell him to go find Orlando and continue to cooperate with him,” Dylan raised a cold smile.
Dylan didn’t expect to be confronted so soon by the Moya family, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t do anything to punish Orlando and it was a good opportunity to set him up.
-I understand.
Mateo had been with Dylan for seven years now and knew him quite well. From his words, I could analyse that he wanted to take advantage of this incident to punish Orlando.
Then there was the problem of the Cazalla Group. Dylan did not expect Felipe to make mistakes and it was only natural that these two blows would bring the Cazalla Group into a state of crisis.
Finally, Dylan knew why Vanessa had gone to the negotiation on behalf of the Moya Group, but he wasn’t going to forgive her easily, because she should have gone to him and not to that asshole Orlando.
“I’ll teach her a good lesson.”
