Chapter 355: Henry in a car accident
Jaime ducked his head and controlled his expression, even though he wanted to give Gerardo, who was spouting those words, a hard time.
He told himself that now was not the time, that he still had to wait for his master’s instructions. He would have to wait until he could reveal his true emotions and reply to the hypocritical creep in front of him.
Orlando looked at Gerardo coldly and grimaced.
How could he still be so haughty and powerful when he now depended on himself? Had he been on top for so long that he didn’t even recognise who he was now?
But no matter, he would soon learn how stupid he was.
-Is there anything else? I’ll go first if there’s nothing.
Orlando looked at his watch and said impatiently.
I wanted to go and see Vanessa.
“I’m sure he misses me after not seeing me for so long.”
At the thought of Vanessa, Orlando’s eyes sparkled with a hint of tenderness. If he had a mirror in front of him right now, Orlando would look exactly as he did when he first fell in love with Vanessa.
-Wait.
Gerardo frowned at Orlando and waited for him to turn around before saying:
-I asked Jaime to bring your son upstairs, so go and see him now that you’re back.
At this, Orlando even regained his fake smile.
-My son? -He snorted, “Are you mistaken about something, Grandpa? Since when do I have a son?
Gerard frowned in disgust:
-The son Melina gave you, isn’t he yours?
-How can you possibly have a child of such misfortune! Grandpa, I think you’re old and confused. How dare you bring something like that back! What, you’re getting old and want to enjoy the warmth of a family? If you really want to, why don’t you adopt an intelligent and healthy one? What’s the point of bringing back a useless piece of shit like that? Is it a laughing stock?
Orlando’s words were cruel and cold, and Gerardo looked at him with his jaw dropped.
-You…
-Of course, grandfather, if you really can’t let him go, then you can keep him for yourself. I will never acknowledge his existence, and I advise you not to let anyone know about that punk’s relationship with me.
Orlando finished with a grimace and turned to leave.
-Listen, listen to what he’s saying! It’s his son no matter what, and calling him a loser out of turn!
Jaime lowered his head and said nothing, but his eyes were filled with cold laughter.
Wasn’t Gerardo also embarrassed when he was told that the baby was not well? He didn’t know what made him think he would send someone to the orphanage to bring the baby back, but to him the baby just needed to be fed.
It would be better to bring him back than to put him in an orphanage, where he would at least be paid to be looked after.
Jaime sighed inwardly. He had done so many things wrong, but he had never thought they would come back to haunt him.
Stepping out into the garden, Orlando stood still again. Turning to stare coldly at the Moya family mansion, Orlando’s eyes had a twisted glint in them. With a grimace, he turns and strides away.
Orlando went to Grupo Cazalla to look for Vanessa, but of course it was impossible to find anyone.
In fact, he was stopped by the receptionist in the lobby of the office, who would not let him go upstairs. Just as Orlando was about to lose his temper, he happened to see Enrique returning from an errand, and instantly approached him with a sombre face.
-I want to see Vanessa.
Enrique looked at Orlando, who was blocking his way, and sneered:
-Mr. Orlando, to see Miss Vanessa? I’m sorry, I can’t let you go without an appointment.
He glanced at the notepad in his hand:
-Miss Vanessa has a very full schedule these days and there is really no room for you. So please come back.
With that Enrique was about to leave when Orlando stopped in front of him.
-I want to see Vanessa.
He said in a cold voice, his eyes sharp and cold, as if he wanted to kill Enrique.
-I have already said that Miss Vanessa is busy and has no time to see you. Besides, even if Miss Vanessa wasn’t busy, she wouldn’t want to see you. You know that yourself, don’t you?
“How on earth did this man have the courage to come here. It’s unbelievable.”
-Damn it, I want to see Vanessa.
Orlando stepped forward and grabbed Enrique’s shoulder with a death grip, lowering his voice and staring at him with a menacing look.
-I told you Miss Vanessa is not available. If you don’t let me go, I’ll have to call the police, and you won’t blame me if everyone finds out.
Henry raised an eyebrow in disdain.
He was not going to let Orlando threaten him.
-Shit!
Orlando tried to barge in, but the security guards were already closing in, so he had to leave with a heavy belly.
He had been warned and threatened by Enrique for not meeting Vanessa, so Orlando had been humiliated. He sat in his car with a grim look on his face and banged the steering wheel hard.
-Enrique!
He said through gritted teeth.
-Orlando? Heh, does he even have time to visit me at work?
Things were not going well at Grupo Moya these days, as everyone in the Pacifica business community knew.
That’s why Dylan had returned, so Vanessa didn’t doubt for a moment that he would destroy the Moya Group and emerge victorious. That’s why she thought Orlando, who now had time to find himself, was stupid.
He had no idea how formidable his opponent was, and pretended to be smug.
Sooner or later, such a man would be defeated.
-Don’t worry about him, order the reception to keep him out. By the way, you have offended Orlando to his face today, try to be more careful in the future.
Vanessa frowned in concern.
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.
Henry laughed in disbelief, he didn’t think Orlando had the energy to specifically address a secretary at this time.
However, he had underestimated Orlando’s cruelty and vengeance.
That night, shortly after leaving the office after working late, Enrique was involved in a traffic accident.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
When she received the call, Vanessa’s heart immediately went pitter-patter.
-I know, I will be there. Please do everything you can to save him!
said Vanessa as she quickly put on her coat, forgetting even to put on her shoes, and went to open the door.
-Vanessa, don’t worry, Enrique will be fine. Don’t worry, I’m worried that something might happen to you too.
She was definitely not fit to drive in her current state and Mercedes asked the family’s driver to take her to the hospital.
-Mummy, get some rest, you don’t have to wait for me.
Enrique’s car accident had disrupted all the plans and Vanessa had to show up in person ahead of time.
When she thought about the reason for Enrique’s accident, Vanessa hated that she was the one being resuscitated in the hospital right now.
“He’s so young, I would never forgive myself if anything happened to him.”
-Come on, faster.
