Chapter 219: Orlando marries Felicia
“But, Orlando is inviting me to his wedding? Aren’t you afraid your father-in-law will be angry when he finds out?”
-Director, are you going?
-Just help me prepare a gift for him, and surely neither Gerardo nor director Lacasa will want to see me. What’s more, I don’t want to go to Orlando’s wedding either. Although I’d like to go and see his face,” said Vanessa jokingly.
Henry immediately understood what he meant, nodded and walked away.
Vanessa worked a little overtime in the afternoon because there was too much work piling up beforehand. By the time she was done with all the paperwork, it was after 9pm. Everyone had left except Enrique, who worked with her.
-Well, go home early, it’s been a hard day for you.
-All right, be careful on the way back.
-You too.
Vanessa waved and pulled away from Enrique. His car stops in the underground garage, which is still well lit at this hour, so there’s nothing to worry about.
Soon Vanessa found her car, and as she opened the door and was about to get in, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
-Vanessa.
The familiar voice made Vanessa freeze for a second, then quickly frown again. She turned and looked at Orlando, who stood in the shadows, his aura seeming more sombre after not having seen him for some time.
It was as if something had sunk in, something had changed, and in general there was a strange feeling.
-What can I do for you?
Vanessa looked at him, with a cold tone, as if treating a stranger.
Orlando’s face was full of pain, like that of a lover: “Vanessa, I’m getting married.
-Congratulations.
“What’s the point of coming to me in the middle of the night if you’re getting married? It’s not like I forced you to get married.”
-I will marry Felicia only for the help of director Lacasa, I don’t love her and I wouldn’t do anything with her even if I married her.
-So what? What’s it got to do with me?
“Have you come to say these useless words to him?”
Why he married Felicia, for what purpose, and what she had to do with it.
-Vanessa, I hope you don’t misunderstand me.
-I have nothing to misunderstand, Mr. Orlando. You will be married and I congratulate you. Even if you have a child with Miss Felicia in the future, all I can say is a polite congratulations. Other than that, we have no special relationship.
That said, Vanessa got into the car.
Orlando moved forward without flinching, but did not stop her.
With his hands hanging at his sides clenched, Orlando looked at Vanessa with a determined gaze.
-Vanessa, the only woman I have ever loved in my life is you. Wait for me, when I have all I want, and I will court you again.
Vanessa curved her lips mockingly and, without saying anything, started the car and drove off.
“I’ll pretend he’s never heard of anything.”
Back at Cazalla’s house, Vanessa spent some time with Mercedes before going up to her room.
He had finished washing and was about to rest when the telephone on the bedside table lit up.
It was Dylan on the phone.
He thought about it and picked it up.
-What happened?
-I miss you.
Vanessa had a cold look on her face, showing no extra expression at Dylan’s sweet words.
-All right, I’m going to rest.
-My wonderful nephew is getting married, you know that, don’t you?
-Yes, I know, the invitation is still in the wastepaper basket in my office.
-Well, you seem to know. We’ll have to celebrate, won’t we?
-Is there something to celebrate?
Vanessa rolled her eyes, for she was in no mood to listen to Dylan’s nonsense. But she knew that if she hung up the phone, the man would come straight to her.
So that he would not go mad, she had to give in and tolerate.
-Orlando wants to marry Felicia, you guessed it, didn’t you? Well, he’s going to fight Gerardo with all his might. Who doesn’t know that director Lacasa has fallen out with Gerardo over his deliberate deletion of the surveillance video.
-Congratulations.
It was a good thing, no doubt.
Wasn’t Dylan’s goal all along to take down Gerardo? Now he had an ally without having to do it himself, and he could wait for the Gerards to fight to the death to benefit from it.
She also had to celebrate herself.
After all, the sooner Dylan’s plan was carried out, the sooner she could unravel everything.
-Thank you for the congratulations, but I’d rather have something substantial.
-I’m going to bed, good night.
Vanessa hung up the phone immediately, she felt she had put up with enough, if she put up with this man any more he would surely become more aggressive.

Hanging up the call, Dylan hooked his lips into a careless smile.
Fiddling with his phone, Dylan then looked at Mateo.
-What did you just say?
-Miss Leoz is ready to return to the country.
-What made Brisa think about coming back? Has she graduated from university yet?
-According to people in the Leoz family, Miss Leoz finished all her credits six months early, so she graduated early.
Dylan frowned, and while he was glad that Brisa had graduated so elegantly and early, the idea of her coming to the country at this time was slightly repulsive.
But it was only for a moment.
-Have you confirmed a date for Brisa’s return?
-It said it was going to be a month.
-Understood,” Dylan said in a nonchalant tone, with a smile in his eyes at the mention of Brisa.
When he was forced to leave the country, Brisa’s grandfather gave him his first investment at the lowest point. It was with that investment that Dylan set up shop, graduated and landed one of Wall Street’s most powerful financial firms.
For Dylan, the Leoz family was his benefactor.
Brisa was about Vanessa’s age and was practically watched over by Dylan as she grew up.
Dylan adored her.
Hearing that Brisa was coming, Dylan was really glad to have chased away those feelings of rejection in his heart.
-It’s still a month away, just enough time to have a room here decorated to Brisa’s liking. Mateo, this is handed over to you to manage.
-Sir, don’t worry, I will.
-Remember to always choose the best, Brisa was brought up gently and using her in the wrong way will make her feel uncomfortable.
-Yes, I know.
Mateo had been with Dylan for many years and knew how much he loved Brisa, and was not surprised to hear him repeat it. After confirming it repeatedly, he left.
Dylan sat in the living room, squinting and wondering what was going on, and after a while he got up to go swimming in the pool.
In the Moya family.
-This bastard is going to marry Felicia without a word!
Gerard banged his cane angrily, his face grim and his eyes even more frighteningly powerful.
