Chapter 376: James
Seeing Dylan’s car leave, the other man tried to chase him, but he was so closely watched that he didn’t even get the chance to do so.
Escorted by Mateo, the car drove to an isolated area. Dylan remained calm and composed, as if he was not the one in danger.
The driver gripped the steering wheel with great caution.
-Sir, there is an emergency stop speed bump up ahead, let the driver pull it up.
It was the kind of emergency stop zone set up for cars in trouble and going too fast, with a sloping, uneven, fine gravel floor to facilitate deceleration, and a high wall at the end.
The speed of the car is not low, but after entering this area, the slope and the road surface are set to slow the car down slowly.
The only thing that remained was the driver’s ability to drive.
-Sir, please sit down.
The driver’s deep voice came as the car’s speed slowed considerably, but the wall was already visible in front of him and he was about to crash into it.
Taking a deep breath, the driver looked out of the corner of his eye, quickly judged the most favourable angle and the body crashed into him.
The violent shaking caused a dizziness in the head.
Dylan leaned on the armrests above his head and stood firm.
Matthew and the others quickly got out of the car and flew out. The bodyguard moved quickly and yanked the door open, looking at Dylan with concern.
-Sir, are you all right?
-Yes.
Dylan shook his head calmly and ducked out of the car.
The driver and bodyguard in front of him also got out of the car with him, they could not have been injured at all, but they were not seriously injured either.
Everyone was relieved to see that Dylan was well.
-I’m sorry, sir, I was negligent.
The driver said with a bowed head and a guilty look on his face.
If he had known earlier that the car had been tampered with, there would have been no need for such a scene.
-I will send someone to investigate immediately.
Mateo said, stepping forward as well.
Dylan waved his hand nonchalantly, however, and said
-It is not necessary.
Matthew looked at him in disbelief.
-Gerardo did.
There was no need to investigate, Dylan knew.
-You mean he’s starting to make his move.
-It’s just the beginning.
Dylan mocked his lips, with a carefree smile but increasingly cold eyes: “Maybe he leaned on her then.
-He may have relied on this group of people to tamper with my parents’ car then, and he’s going to do it again this time, but unfortunately… I’m not going to give him the chance to do it.
At the mention of the parents who died in vain back then, Dylan’s eyes once again filled with a dreadful hostility.
-Someone keep an eye on Gerardo, I want to find those who helped him in his day.
If there is rancour, there is revenge.
-Failed? How the hell do you do things?
Gerard’s face twisted in anger, he was expecting good news from the other side, and then he missed!
How could he not be angry?
-Dylan is not the Franco of his time.
The person on the other end of the line said in a mocking tone.
-Franco at the time trusted you with his life, so he wouldn’t have watched you. But Dylan is different. He’s here to get back at you, so he’s not stupid enough to be defenceless.
-You knew, but couldn’t you have used more skilful means?
Gerardo asked in annoyance.
-Don’t worry, I don’t want to lose a fortune of that magnitude. Just wait, I will sooner or later.
-Hmph. You’d better move fast, there’s a limit to my patience.
Gerardo hung up the phone after that, quick and direct.
He grimaced and used the half of his body that could move to grab something from the bed and slam it hard on the floor.
His mood had already become very irritable and upset after learning that he was a paraplegic. Having heard another piece of bad news, it was good enough that the room was not knocked down by him.
When his anger had almost passed, Jaime dared to knock on the door and enter.
-Sir, be careful with your health.
-Have the room cleaned.
Gerardo finished, closing his eyes and without speaking again.
Soon the servants were shivering as they tidied the room and left with lowered eyebrows.
Jaime looked at Gerardo and said respectfully:
-Sir, it is time for your medication. Also, today there is an infusion with some new medicine ingredients that will be good for your health.
At the mention of medication, Gerard’s mood became even more irritable.
He had never imagined that one day he would become a paraplegic confined to his bed, and that he would be so close to having his mouth and eyes twisted. He found it impossible to accept that outcome.
Because of his subconscious reluctance to accept it, he also resisted treatment.
-What medicine? Outside.
Gerardo scolded mid-sentence.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
-Sir, how can you not take your medicine? If you take the medicine, your body will get better sooner and you have to cooperate with the treatment.
-Improve? Huh? My body is getting better and I can move my whole body? Do I still have to stay in bed?
Gerardo stared at Jaime, who looked dumb and embarrassed.
Only after a moment did he return to his advice.
-Aren’t you going to see Dylan fall back into the abyss? If you don’t take care of your health, you will only make your enemies happy in time. I know you won’t be able to accept it for a while, but that’s why you must cooperate with the treatment.
Jaime reassured him, and Gerardo finally listened and said no more.
Once he had taken the medicine and replaced it with a new bottle, Jaime turned to leave.
He went back to his bedroom and looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall, mentally calculating something.
Five minutes.
Jaime turns to leave.
There were two bodyguards at Gerardo’s door, Gerardo’s men. Even if Jaime wanted to enter, they would ask him questions.
-I’m going to check on Jaime, the doctor said that the newly added medication may have some side effects.
The doorman nodded and let Jaime in.
Closing the bedroom door, the room was left for Jaime and Gerardo, who had fallen into a coma from the infusion in bed.
-My lord.
He stepped forward and carefully called Gerardo’s name.
There was no response.
Then Jaime was relieved.
Looking coldly at Gerardo, his eyes were full of resentment and mockery. After staring at the unconscious man for quite a while, Jaime picked up Gerardo’s phone, turned it on, took a picture of his call and put it back.
Once this was done, Jaime turned to leave.
Ding-dong.
Dylan picked up his phone and clicked on the new message.
Scanning the number on the photo, he passed the phone to Mateo:
-Follow the clues he has and get on it immediately, I want to find out who the other guy is.
-Yes, Jaime.
Mateo came out immediately with the phone in his hand.
Dorencia.
-Did you get everyone?
Was the police department that efficient?
-Yes, all the people involved in the vandalism have been arrested, so could you please come to our police station, Miss Vanessa?
-Yes, I’m going now.
