Chapter 459: Exposed
At the sight of the message it contained, Santiago’s face turned instantly grim. The hand gripping the phone kept pushing harder and harder, the bruises on the back of his hand exposed, obviously holding something back.
-Dylan Moya!
Word for word, Dylan’s name was uttered with indignation, and bitter hatred welled up in Santiago’s eyes.
He could not reject the back of his teeth.
After a few seconds, Santiago quickly pulled himself together and took a deep breath to suppress the hatred and resentment welling up in his heart. He looked at his desk and quickly copied the important information from it onto a USB stick, then destroyed everything he had left behind and left with a flourish.
In the office.
The president of the XIWI Group waited and waited for Santiago, and his anger grew.
He called the secretary directly and asked her to find Santiago and bring him to his office. When the secretary arrived, Santiago had already disappeared.
-What do you mean Santiago is not in the office?
-Yes.
The secretary looked at the dark, black face of her boss and responded with trepidation.
-When did he leave?
-I don’t know…
-Stupid, don’t you know you’re not going to check the surveillance? Don’t you want to call and ask someone from the security section of the front desk?
-Yes, I’ll be right there.
The secretary nodded repeatedly and hurried out for a moment before hurrying back.
-President, Santiago left the office ten minutes ago.
-Fuck!
It was now fully confirmed, it was really him who was being used and he knew things were falling apart so he fled.
-Have someone from the technical department check Santiago’s computer to see if there is any missing information or something wrong with it.
-Yes, I’ll be right there.
The secretary immediately turned around and left.
-Shit!
The president of the XIWI Group smashed an ornament in his office with an angry face, and after a crackling sound, the anger that coiled in his chest had not yet disappeared.
At that time, in a car.
Santiago was driving and talking on his Bluetooth headset.
-Another failure? How did you promise us that? With your strength, there’s no way you can stand up to Dylan! If you keep this up, you’ll get us killed too.
The man on the other end of the line scolded angrily, treating Santiago as if he were one of his own dogs.
Santiago’s face was grim, his hands tight on the steering wheel and his eyes terribly spiteful.
-Enough talk?
He interrupted the other man’s complaint coldly, with an unsettling tone.
-Don’t forget that you’re in this with me now. If anything happens to me, neither of you will get away with it. So now you’d better shut up and bother me, and see that I finish you before Dylan does.
-Are you threatening me?
-Yes.
Santiago’s smile was fierce, he couldn’t deal with Dylan now, was he afraid of the persistent Roberto and the Leoz family? He still had his last bargaining chip in his hand and he would not use it as a last resort.
Santiago was confident, but he did not believe that the Pomar family and Moisés would be able to contradict them.
He had been planning the XIWI Group for a long time, and had planned to use Dylan’s idea as a scheme within a scheme, but to his surprise, he was still fooled.
His confidence crumbles as he fails again and again, making him increasingly agitated and disoriented.
Now that Roberto had been scolded like a dog over the phone, Santiago’s negative emotions had reached a fever pitch.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared straight ahead, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter and tighter.
-Dylan, you will regret this.
Since he wouldn’t budge, don’t blame yourself for being ruthless.
He still had the pieces in his hand and had not yet lost.
-Did it slip away? Heh, it got away from me pretty quickly.
Dylan hooked his lips in a mocking expression, his eyes full of contempt.
Only this type of goods still wants to fight against itself?
-Understood, let the people go back to rest.
It was almost time to force the issue; if Santiago was really Fu Jing Han, his patience must be almost exhausted. It would not be long before he would be out with the dog, and that would be the chance to catch the man himself.
-It seems that his escape was also in his calculations.
Vanessa suddenly spoke up.
-Still, you know me.
Dylan hung up the phone and smiled softly, reaching out to pull Vanessa into his arms and kiss her intimately on the temples.
-Don’t come any closer.
Vanessa rolled her eyes and reached out to push the man away, but Dylan held her tighter.
-Let him go, Candy will be back later.
-Give me a kiss.
Dylan pouted cheekily, gesturing for Vanessa to rush over and give him a kiss.
Left with no other option, Vanessa had to let him have his way.
-That’s it, can you let go now?
-Honey, you just kissed me, but my body is already reacting. What to do, I really want to crush you now.
Dylan whispered as his thin lips pressed against Vanessa’s ear.
Vanessa’s face instantly turned redder than a tomato.
-Bribon.
Looking at Dylan, Vanessa quickly pushed him away and got up to leave.
She feared that if she did not leave she would be immobilised by the man and devoured by him in his wolf form.
It was terrifying.
The following days were uneventful.
Santiago had left the XIWI Group and had been missing for some time, probably preparing a rebellion, but Dylan didn’t care, he just ordered Vanessa and Cecilia to be more protected.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Children do not understand the complexities of adult relationships, and Cecilia is delighted to know that she can go back to kindergarten.
It was the day Vanessa took Cecilia to kindergarten.
-Caramel.
Nana was waiting in the nursery with a gift and greeted Cecilia warmly as soon as she saw her.
-Nana.
Cecilia ran to her and took her little friend’s hand joyfully. The two friends chatted and talked, as if they were sisters.
-Nana is a bit introverted, but she has become much more daring and lively since she became friends with Candy. Look how happy they are playing together.
Iris stood next to Vanessa and said with a smile.
-Yes, the children are having fun.
-Is there anything else, Miss Gu? How about we go for a coffee, if that’s okay?
-Of course.
Vanessa, on the rare occasion when she didn’t have to go to the office today, said yes immediately after Iris extended the invitation.
Iris chose a cafeteria near the kindergarten.
With a bodyguard in the dark, Vanessa didn’t have to worry about anything happening.
The two chatted over coffee and, before they knew it, they were talking until noon.
-I am sorry to have kept you so long. If I had not had something to do at noon, I would have invited you to dinner.
said Iris shyly.
-It’s OK, I just don’t have anything to do back there.
Vanessa smiled nonchalantly and said.
