However, Vanessa didn’t think Dn could beat Grupo Moya at all, because he was an asshole who only knew how to flirt with her.


    -Why? Don’t you think so?


    -No,” Vanessa replied with a twist of her mouth.


    “I wouldn’t trust him one bit!”


    -If you don’t believe me, we can bet. And if you lose, you have to ept one condition.


    -Ha, Dad, you’re so mean! I don’t bet if you’re obviously going to win.


    “I don’t want to praise Dn because I don’t like him, but I’m not going to lose because of him either.”


    -Ha ha, what a child! -The daughter always brought a lot ofughter and joy to the father, and whenever he was with her, Philip felt very rxed.


    Just then, the lift arrived and Vanessa pulled her father to stop him from talking about Dn.


    The Caza Group’s staff restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere, designed like a natural garden.


    Vanessa insisted that Felipe sit down and went to stand in line to buy lunch.


    In the restaurant, whether it was the Caza Group or his daughter, no one had privileges, so Vanessa queued twice for the meal.


    The food looked very tasty and Vanessa was so hungry that she could devour a whole cow at that moment.


    -Eat, child.


    -By the way, your mother has prepared many dishes that Ondo likes. Call him for dinner together tonight.


    Vanessa and Ondo had known each other since they were young and the two families got along very well, Ondo’s father was a close friend of Felipe.


    So, Ondo was a good son-inw for Vanessa’s parents and they still did not know about Ondo’s betrayal. As for the incident at the banquet that day, no one dared to say anything because of the Moya family’s influence in the Pacific City.


    Vanessa also didn’t want such scandals to be known, so she nned to hide it until the divorce.


    Vanessa answered him after a moment’s daze:


    -Okay.


    Philip did not notice her slight change of expression and returned to his office after lunch.


    ***


    Vanessa sighed depressedly in her own office, she didn’t want to call Ondo, but she had to in order not to disappoint her parents.


    I had thought Ondo would refuse with the excuse of work.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    However, Ondo unexpectedly epted and asked for a time toe and pick her up after the day’s work.


    Melina looked at Ondo with some resentment and asked:


    -Won’t you join me tonight?


    You heard him, my father-inw is inviting me to dinner.


    Ondo respected Felipe very much, so he clearly did not refuse his invitation.


    -But you promised to go out for a romantic dinner with me and I’ve already made a reservation, as it’s not easy to book a table in that restaurant. Ondo, won’t youe with me? -Melina made a pitiful face in front of Ondo.


    She believed Ondo loved her, and would surely ept her request.


    Unexpectedly, Ondo turned her down coldly:


    -Melina, is it because I’m spoiling you too much?


    -What? -Melina looked at him with frightened, teary eyes, trying to look pitiful.


    Ondo lifted her chin and exhaled into her face before touching her lips. Melina blushed shyly in this enchanting atmosphere thinking that Ondo would be seduced by her.


    However, Ondo mocked her:


    -I spoil you, because you are Vanessa’s sister, but you are nothing more than my tool of revenge against her. If you think you can control my decisions, I can leave you right now.


    Melina’s face turned pale in an instant, for she had never thought she would be a mere tool for Ondo.


    The scorn and mockery of the man she loved so much tore her heart apart.


    “Is this the man I love so desperately?”


    Nevertheless, her sadness pleased Ondo, and he slid his fingers gently over her lips and said affectionately:


    -Don’t be afraid, as long as you are obedient, I will continue to spoil you.


    He pulled Melina into his arms, nuzzling her neck and sliding his hand slowly down her chest.


    -But, I want you to keep in mind, you will never rece Vanessa’s ce in my heart.


    -I know,” Melina nodded obediently, but her heart burned with hatred and jealousy.


    “Why, why, why, why, why, why!”


    “Why does Ondo still love Vanessa after seeing her pictures and how ridiculous she is?”


    “Why do my dad and all the members of the Caza family, including Ondo, only care about Vanessa? I am also dad’s daughter! I am also a Miss Caza! I also love Ondo deeply!”


    “Vanessa is to me for all this! If it weren’t for her, Papa would love me, the maids would respect me and Ondo wouldn’t treat me so ruthlessly.


    Melina’s thoughts were totally twisted by her resentment.


    ***


    Vanessa didn’t want to go back to Ondo. She had thought about going back to her father after work, but he left early to leave her alone with Ondo.


    -Why are you doing this to me, Dad! -Vanessa muttered depressedly and pressed the lift button to go down.


    Ondo arrived just in time, parked at the front door of the Caza Group. When Vanessa came out of the building, she rolled down the window showing her beautiful face and said impatiently:


    -What are you doing standing? Get in.


    Vanessa got into the car without saying anything and instantly the car went off.


    They drove in silence to the east of the city, where the Caza family’s vi was located. It was a somewhat old vimunity, but it had a very good atmosphere and a lot of greenery, so many old retired people liked to live here, and the Caza family had lived there for almost twenty years.
