Chapter 375: Destroyed
It was good that the inn had been renovated and that everything was ready and prepared for opening. But the night before the opening, the inn was suddenly vandalised by a group of strangers in the middle of the night.
When Vanessa received the news, the newly renovated inn was in shambles, and even the flowers she and Mercedes had carefully selected were in a terrible state.
-Mum, go back to the hotel first.
Vanessa turned to look at Mercedes who was equally anxious and worried, it was still midnight and she was worried about Mercedes’ health.
When she heard that something had happened at the inn, Mercedes had insisted on accompanying her, and Vanessa could not resist.
-But what about the inn? How can someone suddenly destroy our inn? We have just arrived and we haven’t offended anyone.
Mercedes spoke anxiously, her eyes full of worry and anger.
She and her daughter had worked hard to renovate the inn, and it was about to open, yet this was happening.
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. It’s too late, so you should go back to the hotel and rest. No matter what happens at the inn, your health is the most important thing.
Vanessa held back the anger in her heart and gently calmed Mercedes.
Indeed, her body was a little uncomfortable about it, and Mercedes did not refuse again, nodding her head and going back to the hotel first.
Luckily, the two lived not far from each other, just across the street, and Mercedes was accompanied by a policewoman, so Vanessa was not as worried. She waited for Mercedes to leave before striding over to the police officer on the scene.
-Any clues?
-We have withdrawn surveillance from the surrounding area and locked up some of the members of the vandalism. One of them is a familiar face, a frequent troublemaker in the area. But reasonably speaking, you and your mother are new to the area, so you shouldn’t have got into trouble with this sort of person.
The policeman spoke with a puzzled look on his face, and Vanessa was equally puzzled.
Nor did she know why these people were deliberately attacking her.
-Please stop the men as soon as possible and find out what is going on.
-We will do our best, only your inn will not be able to open for a while. It is also better for you and your mother to be in a crowded place during this time so that you do not have any more problems.
-I know.
Vanessa said with a shake of her head and a frown.
It was almost five in the morning when Vanessa returned to the hotel after a busy day.
-Vanessa, how did it go? What did the police say?
-Why are you still awake? -asked Vanessa worriedly as she hurried over.
-There’s something on my mind and I can’t sleep. These bastards, what gives them the right to trash our inn! We’re new here, it’s not like we’ve offended anyone.
Mercedes cursed angrily.
Having heard the same question twice, Vanessa’s mind had the answer.
It had to do with the previous owner of the inn and a government employee, and she had been involved in solving the problem, but the former owner had left and probably held a grudge.
Vanessa frowned, she didn’t think a seemingly nice person would do such a thing behind her back.
“We were about to settle here when we ran into these kinds of problems, and if we don’t solve them once and for all, there’s no way we’ll have peace in the future. Why am I so unlucky?”
Vanessa thought helplessly, but her face did not show it.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
-It’s OK, you don’t have to worry. The police said they will solve the problem and catch them as soon as possible.
-Hmph, we’ll sue them when they get caught!
-Of course. Well, mum, it’s very late, you should go and rest.
Vanessa was really worried about Mercedes’ health.
Seeing this, Mercedes had no choice but to return to her bedroom and go to bed.
Exhaling a weary sigh, Vanessa reached up and pinched her forehead.
He had no idea how to solve the problem once and for all. He had not had a good night’s rest and his head was spinning.
Lying in bed, Vanessa tossed and turned and was slow to fall asleep.
And in the meantime, Peaceful City.
-Heh, they are looking for death.
Dylan scoffed, his eyes full of hostility.
-I have had these men arrested secretly and sent to the police. The identity of the person behind the commando is also blocked and the evidence will be sent immediately to the police station. Apart from that, there are many other bad things that the other side has been doing in secret. Once they are revealed, Lee will definitely have to live in prison for a few years.
-It is too light a punishment.
Dylan’s voice was cold, and the anger between the lines made Mateo’s body shudder.
-What do you mean, sir?
-Since he has dared to mess with my people, let him go away for life.
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.
Matthew hastily straightened his face and nodded respectfully.
Outside the window was the deepest darkness before dawn, as it was in Pacifica City at the time.
Dylan’s face is tinged with sadness as he lifts the blankets off the bed, walks barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window and draws the curtains. The cold air came in with him, cool and strong.
Dylan’s face was filled with sadness and his eyes grew harsher at the thought that Vanessa had managed to find a place she liked to settle, only to have it ruined by that scum.
Discomfort.
It was better to finish Gerardo off as soon as possible so that he could leave the Pacifica City affair once and for all and go to Dorencia to look for Vanessa.
This time, she would take her time, make him feel her feelings and stay with him willingly.
A full day of meetings and intense work would tire even an iron man.
When it was time to return in the evening, Dylan lay down and rested in the back seat. At first, the car drove steadily, but after a while it changed suddenly.
Dylan immediately opened his eyes.
-What’s going on?
-Sir, the car has been tampered with.
The driver said in a calm voice, as if the manipulated car was not his.
-Brakes?
-Yes, the brake cable is cut and now I can’t brake. Luckily it’s late and there aren’t many people on the road, so I’ll try to get there first….
Bang!
Before the driver could finish his words, the rear of the car was hit hard.
-Sir, look out!
The car came suddenly from the other side of the junction, and if the driver had not reacted in time, he would have been hit not only in the back of the car, but in the back seat, where Dylan was.
Dylan’s eyes were cold and his face did not change as he stared out of the window.
The bodyguards’ cars in front of and behind the car began to adopt a protective stance, watching Dylan’s car left and right.
Dylan’s mobile phone rings, it’s Mateo.
He responded.
-Sir, are you all right?
-Good.
-Our men are on their way and will soon have this rubbish out of the way. Go ahead.
-There is something wrong with the car’s brakes.
Dylan said nonchalantly, with the calmness of a man who has nothing to do.
Matthew reflected for a moment and said:
-I’ll take the lead, you tell the driver to follow my car. We drive to a less crowded area and then try to get the car to stop.
