Chapter 90: If I were her, she would have collapsed.
But Dylan did not know that some things could not be expected.
In other words, I did not expect him to reckon with the mischief of his incorrigible destiny.
In the Pacific City.
Vanessa was dead tired, and there was still a pile of papers on her desk waiting for her to process them. She had worked overtime these days, and had even stayed in the office all night on several occasions.
However, the situation of the Cazalla Group had not improved, and Orlando continues to put more pressure on it.
Worst of all, the court dismissed Vanessa’s divorce action on the grounds that their marriage had not broken down.
“How tiring!” Vanessa thought bitterly. That she had just loved the wrong person, but it involved her parents and the company.
“Do I have to admit defeat to Orlando?”
***
In the Cazalla family.
Philip sat in his study, his face haggard from his illness. The stress was tiring him and increasing his anxiety. In the video call, Enrique kept informing him of the company’s situation, including Vanessa’s condition.
Enrique’s report ended quickly.
-President Felipe, the company’s situation is not optimistic, and the state of health of director Vanessa… I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t say this as secretary, but…
-No, don’t blame yourself, I know you care about the company and Vanessa.
Illness and worries about the company and his daughter had crushed this man. Now he only cared about his daughter, and as for the company, he didn’t care.
-Enrique, thank you for your help.
-You’re welcome, this is my duty.
-He continues to help Vanessa deal with the company’s affairs. As for the rest, I’ll sort it out myself.
At least he was Orlando’s father-in-law, so if he was going to plead with Orlando himself, maybe the situation would improve.
Her dignity was not important, because she could not bear to see her daughter work so hard.
-President Felipe…
-Ya. Don’t tell Vanessa what I told you.
-I understand.
After the video conference, Philip sat in the studio for a long time and the atmosphere was very heavy.
-Has Vanessa filed for divorce again? -Orlando was a little surprised.
He had put so much pressure on the Cazalla Group and Vanessa still refused to give up the idea of divorce.
-Vanessa, do you insist on doing this?
Seeing the horrible expression on Orlando’s face, the secretary was so frightened that she didn’t even dare to breathe.
As a woman she began to sympathise with Vanessa.
“What evil has poor Vanessa done? Why did she meet such a terrible man as Orlando? If I were her, she would have collapsed long ago”.
-Get out,” Orlando commanded.
It took Orlando a moment to realise that the secretary was still here, and the secretary hurried out, but he soon had to knock again.
-What’s going on?
-Mr. Orlando, a guest to see you.
-Who?
“Is Vanessa finally willing to beg me?”
-He is the president of the Cazalla Group, Felipe.
-What?
The person who came was not Vanessa but Felipe.
Although Philip had slapped him in the living room, Orlando still respected Philip very much. He personally went out to greet Felipe. When he saw his father-in-law in a wheelchair, he was stunned.
-Dad…
Orlando did not know about Felipe’s cancer.
Philip was so weak that he could only sit in the wheelchair. But even so, his aura was still very strong.
-Is he ill? What did the doctor say?
-Don’t worry, Mr. Orlando, I’m old, it’s normal for me to be ill.
Philip’s tone was very polite, he no longer considered Orlando as his son-in-law, as if he were just a partner, a passer-by who had nothing to do with him.
-Dad, I…
-Let’s go to your office, I have something to talk to you about.
Orlando was interrupted by Felipe. His indifferent attitude caused Orlando to shut up. He took the initiative to push Felipe’s wheelchair into his office.
He told the secretary to pour them two glasses of tea and said that no one could disturb them.
-Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?
Philip looked at Orlando with indifference:
-Mr. Orlando, you know the purpose of my visit.
-Dad, you don’t have to be so polite to me. We are still in the same family and you will always be my father-in-law.
-Don’t say that, the Cazalla family is not qualified to marry into the Moya family.
Philip’s attitude made Orlando feel embarrassed and a little angry.
“I’m already so respectful to him, what more does he want, how could I have done such a thing if his daughter hadn’t betrayed me?”
-Since you say so, I won’t argue with you any more,” Felipe noticed Orlando’s change of attitude. I want you to leave my daughter alone.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
-Leave alone? Everything I do is to save our marriage.
-He is unfaithful to his wife, what qualifications does he have to maintain this marriage?
He refuted:
-Do you think it’s all my fault? Do you know why I left Vanessa to be with another woman on the night of the wedding?
-You should ask yourself.
-I love Vanessa very much. We have known each other since we were children and I am very happy to marry Vanessa. But do you know how she has treated me? It wasn’t me who betrayed this relationship first, but your daughter!
