As soon as Jaime heard this, his face was also filled with sadness.


    -This… this… this…


    No one knew better than Jaime what Gerardo’s desperate need for a grandchild was. But no one could have imagined that Gerardo would have given up the reputation of the Moya family to be… a troublemaker.


    Gerard would be angry if he knew.”


    And when the time came, the child would certainly not stay in the Moya family.


    -Jaime, about this child, can you keep it a secret for now and not tell Gerardo?


    Anyway, it was a living life, and Pr cared for Melina from the time she was pregnant until the baby was born. She was old enough to love the child, and she had seen almost all of them from birth until now.


    Jaime looked at the little baby Pr was holding in her arms and could not help but feel a pang of weakness.


    In the end, it was a life.


    A child who was not even two months old, if lost at this point, it was unclear whether he would live or not. It would be better to keep it hidden for the moment and let Gerard nurture his rtionship with it.


    If the time came when it was impossible to hide it and the child’s defects came to light, there was no guarantee that Gerard would be attached to him and would not be able to get rid of him.


    Besides, even if Gerardoter found out that the child was defective, the two of them would not be med. After all, the child was so small that who would have thought he was defective.


    Jaime and Pr looked at each other with a decision already made in their minds.


    With a sympathetic nce at the child Pr was holding, Jaime gathered his emotions and turned to walk away.


    -Hey, poor kid.


    Pr sighed and left with the baby in her arms too.


    When Ondo returned to the Moya family, Gerardo was also informed of the news via the Inte.


    He grimaced and broke everything he could get his hands on, showing how annoyed he was.


    Ondo came back and simply ran into a gun.


    -That’s what assured me it was absolutely fine! What about the records of the Office of Civil Affairs? Didn’t you say the marriage was a sham?


    Gerard red angrily at Ondo, getting angrier and angrier, as he picked up a piece of broken china from the coffee table and threw it at him. The sharp piece of porcin smashed into his face, leaving a bloody mark.


    Hot and sore.


    Ondo, however, held back and did not say a word.


    Gerardo let his anger pass for a while, and seeing Ondo’s good attitude, he let it go. He sat down with an angry huff, his eyes still full of sadness.


    -It’s simply not possible without someone behind this thing manipting it.


    -It’s Dn.


    Ondo says it with a firm hand, between clenched teeth, as if he is already sure.


    -You said it was Dn, where’s the proof?


    Gerard grunted, uncharacteristically.


    But he wasn’t that angry, and he obviously had Dn on his mind, except that, in the absence of hard evidence, these things can only be discussed in private.


    That’s the way it is in high society, even if you and I hate each other’s guts, no one can stand it when the timees to keep the peace on the surface.


    -Ondo, of course, understood what Gerardo meant, and said in a firm tone.


    -You’d better think first about how to ovee this crisis. The leadership of the new energy project is still looking for the rightpany, and now that the Moya family has caused such a fuss, I’m afraid it has upset the people at the top. Find a way to get in touch, invite the leader to dinner and see if there is room to change things.


    -Yes, grandfather, I know,” said Ondo with a respectful look, as if listening to what Gerardo had to say.


    Gerardo grunted and said:


    -If you had listened to me so well, you wouldn’t have got into so much trouble. Ondo, there was a reason why I was so hard on you before. Now that you understand, you should understand my pain.


    Gerardo said with a serious expression on his face, and naturally Ondo was respectful, with gratitude and guilt on his face.


    -It was me who thought wrong and misunderstood you before, taking your stern teaching as a displeasure. But don’t worry, I understand your pains now. I know that our greatest enemy now is Dn,” said Ondo with a look of respect, but he lowered his eyes to take in the disdain and contempt in them.


    For Ondo, it was imperative that he took all the power Gerardo had into his own hands. He hated Dn, but he hated Gerardo even more, who used him as a puppet to control him.


    -Well, now that you know, get on with it.


    Ondo was soon leaving again and Gerardo squinted and called out to Jaime.


    -Get 13 to hurry up and get to the bottom of Dn’s investigation. Also, hurry up with the online stuff, don’t leave it to me as an eyesore.


    -Yes, sir, I’ll be right there.


    Ondo left but did not deal with the Inte first, but went straight to Vanessa anyway with Juan in tow.


    He had not given up and still wanted to save his rtionship with Vanessa.


    So now he had to go and exin that his rtionship with Melina was not what had been reported on the inte.


    Mercedes looked coldly at Ondo and said in disgust:


    -Vanessa is divorced from you and has nothing to do with you or the Moya family. So I hope you don’t go back to her in the future.


    There was nothing polite in this statement, and the meaning of the farewell was clear.


    Ondo didn’t flinch, frowned with a hard look on his face and said:


    -Mum, I know I did a lot of things wrong in the past, but I was very delusional. Vanessa and I are childhood friends, don’t you know how I feel about her?


    -Mr. Ondo, don’t call me mum, I can’t afford it,” Mercedes snorted in exasperation. As for your feelings, I’m sorry but I don’t see any. If you really loved my Vanessa so much, you wouldn’t have misunderstood her just because of some pictures.


    -I was really tricked by that vicious Melina, I never wanted to betray Vanessa, believe me.


    -Who wouldn’t say nice things?


    Mercedes frowned in disgust, she wouldn’t have let him in the door of the Caza family if she hadn’t been worried that people in the neighbourhood would see Ondo talking about Vanessa again. But when she looked at him, she couldn’t help but think of her daughter’s grievances, and she simply couldn’t calm down.


    Ondo was so brazen, repeatedly stressing his innocence and even tantly bringing up his feelings for Vanessa, a series of actions that further irritated Mercedes and made her emotions rise.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    She gasped sharply and looked at Ondo with annoyance:


    -Even if they lied to you, so what? It’smon knowledge that you’re married to Melina, and you deny it? Or do you mean you’ve been lied to this time too?


    It was clear that Mercedes did not believe him.
