Chapter 205: Broken Relationship
Vanessa was not at all surprised to wake up in Dylan’s room the next day. She woke up looking her usual self, washed up and smelled breakfast just after she came downstairs.
Dylan came out with a plate, wearing a dark green apron that gave off a homely look.
-Breakfast is almost ready, come and eat.
-Thank you.
Vanessa nodded and made her way to the dining room and sat down. She was indeed hungry and unceremoniously picked up her fork and began to eat.
Only when Vanessa eats Dylan’s food does she feel like a normal human being. The usual Dylan is so cold and distant that you feel he shouldn’t belong in this world.
-Is he rich?
-Very tasty.
-Then eat more.
Dylan smiled and offered his plate of salad to Vanessa, watching her eat quietly and with a smile on her lips as if she was enjoying herself.
-I’m going, the company has a lot of things I have to take care of today.
Vanessa stood up, flat and calm.
-I’ll take you.
She didn’t refuse and left with Dylan. When they arrived at the office, they parted naturally, Vanessa went into the Cazalla Group building with her bag, while Dylan sat in the car for a while.
-Matthew.
He took out his mobile phone and called his right-hand man.
-Sir.
The voice on the phone was always so soft, as if nothing could raise or lower its pitch. Cold, precise, like a machine.
Also like him.
-Watch Orlando, and tell Gerardo everything he does.
This game had been brewing for far too long and it was time for it to begin. They would let these two confront the rank and file openly for now, patience was running out.
-Good.
After hanging up on Mateo, Dylan called his best friend Lucas again.
-It’s a rare occasion when you call me. Tell me, what is it about? Don’t ask me how to woo a woman again.
-Are you still comfortable staying abroad?
Dylan narrowed his eyes and said with a wry smile. Lucas, on the other side, immediately adopted his most respectful stance.
-Ahem, seriously, what did you want to call me for?
-You’ll have to come back next month.
-Really?
Lucas’ voice couldn’t hide the ecstasy in his voice, God knew how sick he was of being in that shit. But who could help it, he had offended the most unpredictable?
-Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?
Perhaps I should learn from Lucas’s experience.
Of course, Dylan never claimed such things. All he had to do was give Lucas the slightest benefit of the doubt and make him think he was selling him a good deal. That would serve his purpose and make Lucas grateful, so why not.
-At last it is liberating! Brother, I owe you a favour and I will pay you back in the future.
-Good to know.
Purpose accomplished, Dylan spared another word and simply hung up the phone.
Thus, an important message was lost.
This is, of course, an afterthought.
In the Moya Group.
-Juan, how are our forces developing and are things stable in the DS Group these days? -Orlando looked at his secretary and asked.
-Grupo Moya’s shares have been bought back by us, and we now have three percent more shares than before. In addition, many of the company’s core technologies are in the hands of our people.
-I mean, does Gerardo basically amount to having no real power at all?
-Yes.
At Juan’s reply, Orlando’s eyes shone with a sharp, shrewd light.
For once, he finally didn’t need to hibernate. He finally had a chance to prove himself to Vanessa, to show her how capable he was now, so that she wouldn’t have to worry about Gerard being the biggest obstacle between them.
Just the thought of it made Orlando unspeakably emotional.
-Good. This time we don’t have to hold back in contention. Grandpa is getting old and it’s time to retire.
-I see.
As Orlando intended to uproot the hypocrisy of filial piety, his plan was presented to Gerard in its entirety.
-Sinner, this sinner!
Gerard’s face was pale with anger and his chest heaved violently. His cane hit the ground with great force. He stormed out, wanting to grab Orlando and confront him immediately.
-Sir, take it easy, take care of your health.
-How can I not be delighted that Orlando, that bastard, has learned the trick? Does he really think I’m old enough to let him run around? I thought he had changed and had finally learned his lesson.
Gerard sat back down, his eyes narrowed and his face filled with cold hostility.
-Not very capable? In that case, let everyone know. Orlando is hereby removed from all positions in Grupo Moya, and as of today, he will not be accepted in any of Grupo Moya’s branches.
-Your Honour …
Jaime looked at Gerardo with concern, trying to talk some sense into him.
-Do as I say!
-Yes.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Jaime nodded and left. The moment Orlando intended to use his position to do something to Gerardo, he first received the news that he had been dismissed from the Moya Group.
And it was published directly on the official Grupo Moya website!
Now, not only within Grupo Moya, but throughout Ciudad Pacifica, they knew that Orlando had been expelled from Grupo Moya.
-How did that happen?
In the office, Orlando smashed up everything he could. He was still furious at the mess. It was clear that his plan was going well and that he had taken enough power and allies from him, so why was he suddenly discovered before he did it?
Damn it, who the hell had leaked their plans?
Knock Knock.
-Enter.
Juan entered and looked at Orlando with difficulty.
-Tell me!
Orlando looked up sharply, his eyes as red as those of an angry beast.
-It’s Mr. Gerardo, he had someone outside standing guard and he said he wanted to see you get out of Grupo Moya. He also said … also said you would be arrested for taking anything that didn’t belong to you.
Orlando’s eyes were red with anger.
In doing so, Gerardo clearly treated him as a thief.
“Good! Now we have made a definitive break, and there is no more need for hypocritical stoicism and flattery. And good.”
-Let’s go.
He now has the DS Group and also has much of the inner core of the Moya Group, and even if the old man kicks him out now, he will have to respectfully invite him back soon.
-Sir, Mr. Orlando has already left.
Gerardo narrowed his eyes, thinking there was something suspicious in the dryness of Orlando’s exit.
-Go immediately to check the projects he has been in charge of lately, any little details you can find out. Also, do a big purge within the company. Find out what that idiot left behind and what he took with him.
