Chapter 379: Filing a lawsuit against Gerardo
-Are you questioning me?
The tone of the person on the other end of the phone was also tinged with a slight mockery and coldness.
-Hmph, so what if I question you? We’re both in the same boat now, and you’re not doing your job properly, so shouldn’t I question you? Or is it that you don’t want the money anymore?
Gerard snorted coldly, contemptuously.
A look as if he wasn’t afraid of the other man going mad.
-Of course I want the money. Just wait, I’ll make you happy.
Unhappy with Gerardo’s attitude, the other party hung up the phone with a cold grunt.
Gerardo almost broke the phone in his hand in annoyance.
Thinking that the other side was the only one he could use at the moment, Gerard again suppressed his anger.
SJ Group.
-How are the preparations going?
-We have contacted all the journalists from the mainstream media, and they are all waiting at the scene. The previous explosions have also been rearranged on the internet to start the hype, and the effect is almost there since yesterday.
Dylan nodded, indicating that he knew.
He sat back in his expensive armchair and looked at his wristwatch.
News of Dylan’s press conference had spread, and now SJ had a few tabloid websites and the like, plus the invited media, waiting to get the latest news.
-Sir, it is time.
Matthew stepped in to remind him.
Dylan tugged gently at the corners of his lips, gave a very quick smile and stood up.
-Let’s go.
Mateo followed Dylan, one after the other, out of the president’s office and into the lift, in the direction of the press conference.
The doors opened and the sound of a crowd followed.
Dylan paused and his keen eyes scanned everyone present before he made his way to the most important seat and sat down.
The room falls silent, but the journalists’ lights flicker.
Mateo takes a seat next to Dylan.
All the journalists looked at Dylan, each one waiting for him to speak.
-Welcome to this press conference organised by Mr Dylan, and on behalf of Mr Dylan, I would like to thank you all….
Mateo, as Dylan’s secretary, was in charge of the opening speech.
-Next it’s time for questions, you can all ask Mr Dylan anything you have.
Immediately after Mateo’s words, a journalist in the front row raised his hand to ask a question.
He gestured for the other to speak.
-Hello Mr. Dylan, I’m a journalist with xx Media. It was rumoured on the internet that you had gone after your own uncle and nephew for the right to inherit the Moya family. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that SJ has bought the Moya Group and renamed it M&C. What are your plans for your uncle after this, Mr Dylan?
It was not a sharp question.
And that was all Dylan needed.
He leaned back lazily in his chair and smiled lazily.
-That’s a good question, and it’s one that I’ve called this press conference to answer in unison. I’m sure everyone here is very keen to know the answer, and in that case, I won’t talk any more nonsense.
Dylan said, suddenly sitting up and approaching the microphone.
-Gerardo is not my real uncle, he is an orphan adopted by the Moya family at the time. He wasn’t given the surname Moya until after he was adopted by the Moya family, so he’s not my real uncle. And Orlando is Gerardo’s grandson, so he is not my nephew either.
None of the journalists in the room expected to hear this explanation.
Everyone froze.
-Was Mr. Gerardo really adopted by the Moya family?
-If you don’t believe me, I’ll present you with a certificate from me.
When Dylan finished, Mateo cooperated by opening the information file on his laptop and it appeared on the big screen.
For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of shutter clicks.
This was a shocking announcement.
No one had thought that Gerardo, the head of the Moya Group in Ciudad Pacifica, was not from the Moya family, but an orphan adopted by the Moya family in the first place.
-If Mr. Gerardo was only adopted by the Moya family, why is Mr. Gerardo the head of the Moya Group and not you?Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Journalists’ attention was soon refocused on this issue.
For a moment, the smile on Dylan’s lips became extraordinarily wide.
-My father, Franco Moya, was the heir to Grupo Moya when my parents died in a car accident when I was still a child, and my grandparents died one after the other because they could not bear the shock. I was only twelve years old when I was sent abroad by my uncle, Gerardo, who took over when the rightful heir of Grupo Moya disappeared.
-During my stay abroad, Gerardo did not visit me once, except for the servants Gerardo had arranged to look after me. After I came of age, Gerard was even more direct in his disinterest. He enjoyed glory and wealth in his country, which was not his own, while I suffered the hardships of displacement. I probably hoped he would never return for the rest of my life, or even die, but alas, I am of the Moya family.
-I have a brilliant brain and incredible luck. That’s why there are SJs on Wall Street and now at M&C.
Dylan says indifferently.
The years abroad were clearly the most painful and bitter for him, but he manages to say so in the most casual tone.
There was even a smile on his lips.
Journalists listened to him as they typed rapidly, preparing press releases.
-So I don’t even need to explain anything that was said online. I am taking back the Grupo Moya that should have been mine and depriving Gerardo of a halo that does not belong to him. He has held the title of Grupo Moya’s power boss for so long that it is time to give it back. In addition, I will officially press charges against Gerardo for murder. This concludes today’s press conference.
With that, Dylan got up and left.
-Mr Dylan, is it true that you say you want to accuse Gerardo of murder?
-May I ask if it was his biological parents that Gerardo murdered?
-…
Question after question was asked, but unfortunately this time Dylan didn’t answer at all and didn’t even pause for a moment.
Journalists did not dare to go after him because of the presence of bodyguards.
Of course, even if the bodyguards were not there, they would not dare to go after them.
Mateo stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
The press conference was broadcast live, so the news spread quickly.
Gerard was shaking with rage when he heard that Dylan was going to be charged with murder. He wanted to break things, but his body was now out of control and he could only curse and scream.
Dorencia.
Vanessa had also searched the internet for the video of the press conference and watched it in its entirety.
Seeing Dylan’s handsome, cold face, Vanessa suddenly felt surprisingly relieved.
It seemed that he was not really hurt.
Great.
-So that’s it?
Was this the reason Dylan had returned home to take revenge on Gerardo and Orlando?
