Gerardo had little patience after watching the baby for a while and told Pr to take him back.


    -Hmph, it’s time to teach him a lesson, and save him the trouble of thinking that I’m really too old to control him, and that he can do as he likes. He thinks he’s so capable, but if he wasn’t a descendant of my Moya family, he’d take all this glory and wealth he was born with, shit!


    -You intend to…


    -Call the secretary and tell him to drop him off at thepany and remove Ondo’s post tomorrow. It turns out that a smallpany has recently been acquired to get that bastard there. He’s been with thepany for many years and hasn’t grown at all, it’s time he learned.


    The next day, Ondo went to the office and was told that his position had been transferred from the head office to the branch.


    It was a degradation in secret.


    Gerardo’s secretary coquettishly referred to the transfer as a test. It was also said that if Ondo wanted to return to the head office, he would have to do something at the branch.


    As soon as the secretary left, Ondo trashed his office.


    The office, which had been renovated for hundreds of thousands of euros, was once again in ruins.


    -Chief?


    Juan looked at Ondo with concern, but they didn’t know what he was thinking. Looking at Ondo, he said with great concern:


    -If Mr Gerardo transfers you to the branch, what will happen to the resources we have at headquarters?


    -He’s not going to disappear like that! -said Ondo with a cold voice and madness in his eyes.


    -Juan, you saidst time that Mr. Thiago from the Eastern District was interested in working with me?


    -Boss, do you want me to… to work with Mr. Thiago?


    Ondoughed coldly, his eyes resolute:


    -Since Gerardo wants to force me, I don’t need to be polite either. The love between the two of us was broken long ago when the old man forced himself on me. It’s also time to be ruthless, otherwise the concessions will grow.


    -Okay, I understand.


    Juan nodded cautiously and sent a quick message as he turned to leave.


    After his sess, he deleted the contents of his phone and left as if nothing had happened.


    To paralyse Gerardo, Ondo still gathered his things and headed for the branch after his rage.


    Unable to find out who was behind Vanessa, Ondo became increasingly irritated. He came back to torment Melina once again, running straight to Caza’s house with a lot of noise in the middle of the night to see Vanessa.


    The maid had no choice but to run upstairs and fetch Vanessa.


    -Miss, Mr Ondo has been making a fuss and we can’t do anything about it.


    -I got it.


    Vanessa frowned, suppressed the disgust in her eyes and called the police immediately.


    Now that she and Ondo were long divorced, it was only natural that he woulde back to haunt her and she wouldn’t have to hold her tongue for the sake of the Moya family. Only when she heard the police sirens did Vanessa get up and go outside.


    -Mr. Ondo, someone called the police to report that you were trying to break into a house and disturbing the public.


    Ondo did not expect Vanessa to call the police and was surrounded by two middle-aged men in uniform, Ondo was embarrassed for a moment.


    It so happened that Vanessa approached him and looked coldly at him through a doorway.


    -Good work, guys, thanks.


    -Vanessa, I can’t believe you called the police!


    -You’re making a scene in front of my house and posing a threat to my person, so why shouldn’t I call the police? What’s more, have you forgotten that you have a history of kidnapping, and I wouldn’t dare be careless again?


    Vanessa scoffed, her tone sharp.


    -Well. Vanessa, you actually called the police to arrest me.


    Ondo was furious, had lowered his profile and had gone to Vanessa several times, even though he had been wrong so many times that he should be forgiven. But Vanessa still refused to forgive him and pretended to draw a line.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Once or twice, Ondo might have patiently forgiven her, but now he just felt he had lost face.


    Vanessa’s gaze also turned spiteful and cruel.


    -I cannot cajole and entreat you forever, Vanessa, and the day my patience is exhausted, it will be useless for you to regret even that.


    -Don’t worry, I won’t regret it even if I die.


    Vanessa ignored Ondo’s warning and signalled for the police to take him away.


    -Fuck off, I’m going to walk on my own!


    Ondo gave the two policemen a cold look and warned them to stay away. He gave Vanessa a stern look and got into his car to drive away.


    Soon silence returned to the door and Vanessa’s face lifted its hardness, her miserable lips pursed as she turned away.


    He stumbled a little in his stride.


    But it turned out that she was not indifferent to such difort, let alone as calm and collected as she seemed.


    I was also tired and exhausted.


    -Vanessa.


    -Mama, what are you doing up? -Vanessa hid the sadness in her eyes and asked with worry and concern.


    -Ondo’s making a scene again? Who the hell is he? He’s the one who… he has the nerve toe to the house again and again. vanessa, don’t be afraid, mum will go to see Gerardo as soon as the sun rises. your dad is dead and we’re not easy to intimidate you.


    -No, I’ll take care of it.


    How dare he let Mercedes go to see Gerardo in case he got angry….


    -But how can this go on in the long term? You’re already divorced and Ondo keepsing over, what will the neighbours think? By the way, you haven’t made your divorce public yet, have you? Let’s put out a statement saying that you and Ondo have been divorced for a long time.


    Mercedes said there was nothing she could do to see her daughter suffer.


    -I’m going to make a statement early tomorrow morning, so don’t be in a hurry. It’ste, so you should go back and rest.


    Vanessa helped Mercedes back to her room and watched her lie down on the bed before leaving.


    Back in her bedroom, Vanessa lost a whole night’s sleep.


    After applying a thick foundation of make-up to cover the dark circles under her eyes, Vanessa pretended to be cheerful and apanied Mercedes to breakfast and coaxed her to take her medication before leaving for the office.


    The inte rumours died down and it was time to report to the office.


    Dn was waiting in the car park first thing in the morning and when he saw Vanessa get out of the car, he approached her.


    -Mr Dn, what can I do for you?


    Vanessa looked at Dn and asked him in a cold tone.


    -I’vee to see you.


    Dn’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Vanessa who had lost so much weight in thest few days. She was stubborn in the face, and her much more mature face showed no emotion.


    She grew up a lot.


    -If it’s business, please make an appointment with my secretary first, if it’s personal… then we have nothing to talk about,” said Vanessa in a businesslike tone.


    -Very good.


    She also resented the inconvenience if the only way to see her was by appointment.


    Vanessa left so easily that she didn’t look back as she entered the lift and thought to herself that Dn had really gone from being a forceful, domineering president to a gentle man. This submissive look on his face made her extremely ufortable.


    -Vanessa, are you a masochist?


    Shouldn’t I be relieved to see Dn learning respect?
