-Miss Vanessa, this is half of the fee you paid me. And this is my breach of contract. I am very sorry I am notpetent to handle this divorce case of yours,” thewyer finished with an apologetic face, got up, took his things and left.


    Vanessa mechanically stirred the coffee in her cup with her spoon and after a while, smiled teasingly.


    She couldn’t remember how manywyers she had had, and each time they had epted her case, she turned it down after learning that it was about the divorce suit with Ondo. Apparently, she had received more than one breach of contract.


    “It looks like I’ve won in this case.”


    Thinking about this, Vanessa sighed and left the cafeteria.


    Perhaps if she went back towyers, she would get the same result: Ondo Moya would not ept the divorce, and under her pressure, nowyer would dare to take her case.


    Moreover, he could not ask thewyers of thepany’s justice department for help either, not to mention that divorce proceedings were not his area of expertise.


    Outside the café, the sun was no longer so dazzling.


    Vanessa wrapped her coat around her as the breeze blew, and it was alreadyte autumn.


    Suddenly his mobile phone vibrating in his pocket dispelled the sadness that Vanessa, who quickly pulled it out, saw that it was Enrique and answered the phone.


    -Is there a problem with thepany?


    -Director Vanessa, you’d better get back.


    Enrique’s voice sounded heavy and anxious, and it seemed to be a serious and urgent situation. Vanessa pursed her lips, quickly got into her car and left for thepany.


    ***N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Half an hourter.


    -What happened?


    -The other party wants to cancel the contract. They are even willing to pay for the breach of contract, and we have tried to deal with them several times, but they have refused.


    Without a doubt, this should be the work of Ondo Moya.


    The thought of this cruel and desperate man made Vanessa want to kill him and then kill herself.


    -I see. Is there anything else?


    Enrique looked at Vanessa’s face, already guessing what was going on, and became very worried. If things went on like this, the Caza Group, which had stabilised, would be in danger again.


    -There are people in the trade industry in Pacifica City who have been secretly putting themselves in our Grouptely, I guess….


    Enrique did not continue, but Vanessa understood.


    -Do you suspect that this is all Ondo’s trickery?


    -Director Vanessa, thepany is doing well at the moment, but in the long term it is still like this….


    No matter how much the Caza Group developed, it would never be stronger than the Moya family, which had such a solid base in Ciudad Pacifica. It was a business giant, and the Caza Group was a mere “child”pared to the Moya family. To bring down the Caza Group, it would take nothing more than a word from Ondo Moya.


    I was worried, but I also knew that I could not change anything as a petty secretary of the Caza Group.


    If she could, she would like Vanessa to talk to Ondo Moya. After all, they were a legal couple; if she would negotiate patiently with him, perhaps thepany’s potential crisis would be resolved?


    Enrique had wanted to convince Vanessa several times, but every time he saw the look on Vanessa’s face, he unconsciously swallowed his words.


    But this time…


    -Director Vanessa.


    Vanessa looked at Enrique who suddenly began to speak, his face a little embarrassed but his eyes were determined.


    -Tell me?


    -Director Vanessa, although it is probably not my ce to say this, the current situation of thepany… I think I can talk to Mr. Ondo. After all, they are a legal couple and maybe he will leave ourpany alone considering her marriage to him.


    “Partner? Considering my marriage to him?”


    Vanessa thought mockingly, but her face showed nothing but calm:


    -I can see that.


    Henry, who had been watching Vanessa closely, was relieved to see that she was not angry. Knowing he had just said something he shouldn’t have, the secretary sighed inwardly and turned to leave.


    Vanessa was the only one left in the office.


    -Ondo Moya, you are really doing everything you can to prevent me from divorcing you.


    He knew that if she withdrew the divorce suit, Ondo would stop.


    But Vanesa Caza did not give up!


    “But now, who can help me?


    Dn Moya!


    The name suddenly popped into her head and Vanessa couldn’t help but clench her hands. If she went to Dn and tacitly agreed to stay entangled with him, maybe the man could lend her a hand, but that wasn’t the life she wanted.


    He wanted to get away from the Moya family and, of course, including Dn Moya.


    “But who else could help me now, apart from Dn? Vanessa, why don’t you go ask Dn for help? You’re lovers, right? It’s only fair to ask him for help, isn’t it?”


    “No, you can’t go to him. Have you forgotten the decision you made? What will happen to your dad in case his rtionship with Dn is exposed?”


    Vanessa frowned as two contradictory thoughts argued in her mind, and she felt annoyed as if something was clogging her chest. Finally, the first thought gradually overcame the second.


    It took Vanessa a long time to call Dn.


    -Hello, the number you have reached is disconnected.


    His mobile phone was switched off.


    Vanessa immediately put down her mobile phone; now it wasn’t that she didn’t want to ask Dn for help, the situation was that her phone was switched off.


    Sighing deeply, Vanessa stopped thinking about turning to Dn for help and tried to adjust her mood, warning herself that she could not be easily defeated by Ondo.


    ***


    -Mr Dn, the ne will bending soon,” Mateo Gayoso approached, speaking in a respectful tone.


    Dn gave him a slight nod.


    It was Lucas Vera, in front of him, who asked, again with all curiosity and doubt:


    -Can you really leave your delicate mistress? For all I know, she’s having a bad time. Ondo is like a rabid dog, so ruthless and cruel that the Caza Group may be ruined by the time you get back.


    Dn did not ignore him.


    -Hey, you’re really not worried? I remember that nervous, worried look you gave me thest time you asked me to give her a doctor’s appointment, and as your friend for so many years, I’ve never seen you so nervous about any woman. Don’t tell me you were just acting back then.


    Dn continued to ignore him.


    -Hey, hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do without saying a word? Shit, I see you’re a man with a heart of steel. You should have acted sooner, otherwise you wouldn’t be on this ne now. How poor Vanessa is! I see that both you and Ondo are bastards.


    -Shut up now.


    “Comparing me to Ondo?”


    He just wanted to get away for a while to regain his sanity. Vanessa affected him too much that he didn’t dare to get closer to her. The Moya family was still there, Gerardo Moya was still a powerful character, so he had to be more careful.


    So he opted to leave for the moment, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to pay attention to Vanessa. He was waiting for the moment to make his move.
