Chapter 88: Filing for Divorce
Although the bad news saddened him, life would go on.
Vanessa finally left the hospital after recovering for a week. She was walking happily in front of Mercedes and Felipe, whose eyes and eyebrows were full of happiness, who looked very cheerful.
-I can finally leave the hospital. I don’t know how many jobs I have left in the company.
-Don’t work so hard, eh? You should pay more attention to your health. If the work is too much, you can ask others for help, you know what I mean?
-Listen to what your mother says. My daughter is more important than the company. In the worst case, we could sell the company. We’re not short of money, you can’t work that hard anyway.
Listening to her parents’ advice, Vanessa felt sadder.
“I don’t know how long Dad can hold out, but if I can’t even protect the company he’s dedicated his whole life to…”
-Yes, I understand.
No matter what worries she had in her heart, Vanessa always responded to her parents with seemingly good behaviour.
-Dad, the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital after a few days of observation. Take care of yourself and don’t think too much these days, okay? Mum, you too. Don’t get tired, and if you have anything left to do, leave it to the servants.
-Don’t worry, your dad and I are adults. Can’t we take care of ourselves?
-I am still worried.
-Okay, okay, you can leave the hospital now, hurry up.
Mercedes pretended to be angry looking at her daughter, in fact, she wanted her to go back and rest in her own room, after all, the hospital room was not as cosy as hers.
-Well, then I’ll go first and visit you tomorrow.
Vanessa hugged them and gave sensitive goodbyes. When she turned away, her eyes became flushed, and she tried hard to keep the tears from falling.
-Our daughter is still an innocent little girl, eh? -Mercedes said, helping Philip back into the living room.
-That’s because he misses us.
Philip smiled contentedly, it was clear that his daughter was very fond of them.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
When he was left alone in the room, Felipe became serious and solemn. He got up and closed the door to the living room, then went back to bed, took out his mobile phone and called Enrique Goya.
He was very concerned about his daughter Carina, so he wanted to know more about the current situation of the company.
In any case, he would do everything possible to protect his daughter.
It was said that people could sense him when his life was about to come to an end. Philip thought that was right, because he could sense that he didn’t have much time left.
Thinking of his daughter and his wife who had been with him all his life, he could not help but worry about them. So, while he still had the strength, he had to do something else for them.
Vanessa went to the company after only one day’s rest at home.
-Enrique, has everything been going well in the company during this time?
-Yes, the cooperation you have achieved earlier has already started, which will benefit the Cazalla Group. Everything is stable, and is developing in a good direction.
Because Philip had told him, Henry could not tell Vanessa about his father’s call.
Hiding something from her, for which Enrique felt a little guilty when he looked at her. Fortunately, Vanessa was concentrating on company business and didn’t notice his abnormality.
-Good.
“If the company had more problems again at that time, I really don’t know what I would do. Now that everything is fine in the company, I can go for a divorce.
-Enrique, let the director of the justice department come to my office.
She wanted a divorce and the only thing she could do was to file for divorce. Therefore, she needed a professional lawyer, who was not afraid of the Moya family and could help her. Even if she did not know if the person in charge of the justice department knew any such qualified lawyers, she had to try.
“I consult first, then I consider other things”.

-Do you want to file for divorce? Have you decided? -Dylan stopped the car and looked sideways at Vanessa.
She leaned back in her seat with a tired expression and nodded:
-I don’t have to think any more, I can’t tolerate that I continue to have such a relationship with Orlando.
-I can help you find a good lawyer.
-Thank you.
Vanessa didn’t turn him down, she really needed Dylan’s help. She never faked an artificial one when it wasn’t necessary.
-How do you thank me?
-Isn’t that what you should do for me? Since we “work” together,” Vanessa raised her eyebrows and asked.
-Well, you’re right,” Dylan smiled and didn’t argue with her.
Seeing the weariness on his face, he said no more.
Vanessa fell asleep very quickly in the car without any defence.
-Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you? -Dylan looked down at his sleeping face and said in a low, soft voice.
Then he smiled and started the car.

-Was it sent from the court? -Orlando put down the contract, frowned and looked at his secretary.
-Yes, Mr. Orlando. Do you… want to take a look first?
-Get out,” Orlando said coolly.
The secretary left in a hurry. To tell the truth, she didn’t want to stay in the office either, worrying that it would harm her indiscriminately.
-Vanessa, how dare you!
After reading the contents, Orlando tore the copy of the divorce petition into pieces, gritted his teeth and said.
Then there were frightening noises in the office, which lasted for some time. Standing in the cluttered office, Orlando gasped sharply, like a trapped beast.
His face was distorted and his eyes were full of brutality.
Holding the phone tightly, he pressed a few numbers, which was Vanessa’s phone number.
-Did you get the copy? -Vanessa asked bluntly because she had guessed the purpose of the call.
-You want to divorce me? Impossible! Even if you go to court, it won’t do any good, I won’t accept it!
-It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not, the important thing is that I have decided.
-Vanessa, how dare you!
When Orlando wanted to say more, she hung up the phone.
He angrily threw the phone on the floor, and stepped on it as if it wasn’t enough.
-I won’t get divorced! Vanessa, you can’t get rid of me, ever!
“Look, maybe I’ve treated her too mercifully and I give her so much rein that she still doesn’t know how weak and fragile she is, she even wants to sue the court for divorce! You idiot! Vanessa, I’ve given you a chance, but why do you always force me?”
Orlando thought with a clear mind, and a sickly, malicious smile appeared on his face.
A few minutes later, he straightened his suit, with a quiet, elegant laugh, and left his messy office.
-Clean the office and get someone to redecorate it,” he ordered his secretary, then headed for the lift.
