Chapter 488: She’s More Important Than Me
-So what if she is? She’s more important to me than the Rasgado family than I am. So what if the Dávalos family? And you? You’re no more important than a hair on Vanisa’s head.
Graciela, who had been pampered since she was a child, had always been proud of herself, except when she had failed Alonso time and again.
How could Graciela be pleased to hear Alonso’s own words that she and even her own family together were no match for a vixen in his eyes?
He twisted his face and looked at Alonso with indignation.
-Well, well, Alonso, you’d rather go against the Dávalos family for a woman. Very well, if that’s what you want to do, then go ahead and try. I’ll see if the Rasgado family and your father, Mr. Rasgado, are on your side.
Graciela said through gritted teeth.
-Don’t bother.
Alonso said coldly, full of disgust as he ordered.
-Tell your bodyguard to fuck off.
-No.
Graciela scoffed, lifting her chin and looking provocatively at Alonso.
At that moment, Alonso’s men rushed at him. Seeing what was happening in the room, they immediately stepped forward.
-Arrest them.
Alonso ordered in a cold voice, and his men immediately stepped forward and surrounded the two bodyguards. There were only two men and they were the Rasgado family, so they dared not act rashly.
-I’m sorry, I’ll take you to the wound later.
Alonso looked at Vanessa’s face, which had stopped bleeding, and said apologetically.
He even wanted to give Vanessa a hug, but he was afraid of scaring her and had to restrain himself.
-Bring Graciela too.
Alonso ordered coldly, his eyes sharpening on the strutting Graciela.
She was sure that Alonso wouldn’t dare do anything to her, after all he had the whole Dávalos family behind him, and Alonso was still a Rasgado family, with his father on top of him, and he wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
So, although she had been caught, she was not afraid.
-Vanisa, go wait next door, the doctor will be here soon.
Alonso turned his head towards Vanessa and said softly.
Vanessa was a little hesitant, worried about what Alonso might do to Graciela.
Not that she was a saint, but because Alonso was now in a fit of rage and she was worried that he would lose control and hit Graciela too hard. If he offended the Dávalos family, the Rasgado family would be in trouble too.
-Alonso…
-It’s OK, don’t worry.
Alonso smiled, unable to resist after all, and went over to Vanessa and gave her a gentle hug.
Resisting the urge to kiss her, he quickly released her hand.
-Come on, first get that cut on your face.
-All right.
Vanessa knew there was no point in saying anything, so she nodded and left.
In any case, this was Alonso’s business with Graciela, and it was not appropriate for her to interfere.
As soon as Vanessa left, Alonso’s eyes turned sharp and cold. He looked at Graciela with a sneer and a look of disgust that suddenly made her feel unsure of her previous certainty.
-Alonso… Ah!
Graciela had just shouted Alonso’s name when he lunged at her and slashed her face with the clean dagger. The sharp pain caused Graciela to gasp and the next second she was covered by the bodyguard standing next to her under Alonso’s gaze.
The two bodyguards she had brought with her also made a quick effort to move in to protect her, but were pinned down without being able to free themselves.
-Uh-uh!
Graciela tried to make a sound, but her mouth was tightly covered. Her eyes widened as she stared at Alonso in disbelief and anger.
I would never have thought that Alonso would do this to him.
The cut on her face was much worse than Vanessa’s and hurt a lot. The fear of being disfigured made her face turn white and a little fear appeared in her eyes.
-This is for you!
Alonso’s haunting voice rang in Graciela’s ears, sending shivers down her spine.
At that moment, Graciela had the sensation of being watched by a poisonous snake.
It was then that she realised that what Alonso had said was true. Because if he didn’t care about the Dávalos family, if he no longer cared about them, then she would be someone he could hurt at will.
Graciela felt scared.
He began to struggle desperately, but Alonso did not give him a chance to break free.
He tightened his grip on the dagger and smiled coldly as he made two cross wounds in her face.
The pain made Graciela break out in a cold sweat.
He looked at Alonso with reddened eyes and a pleading look, but Alonso didn’t flinch.
-I gave you a chance. Unfortunately, it was you who didn’t take it. If you hadn’t hurt Vanisa, I wouldn’t have done this to you. Graciela, don’t ever mess with me again, and don’t ever hurt Vanisa again, or I’ll make your life hell.
Alonso’s thin lips pressed against Graciela’s ear, but his light tone sent shivers down her spine and made her shiver with fear.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
When he finished, he winked at his bodyguard.
The bodyguard, who complied, immediately took Graciela away with his bodyguard and soon left the Rasgado family down another corridor.
The wounds on Vanessa’s face had been treated when Alonso passed by.
Fortunately, they were not deep, so they would not leave scars.
Only the engagement party was not meant to take place.
-Does it still hurt?
Alonso frowned as he saw the wounds on Vanessa’s face, wanting to reach out and touch them, but worried that he might hurt Vanessa.
-It’s fine, it stopped hurting a long time ago. It’s just a small cut, it will heal in a few days.
Vanessa smiled and shook her head.
He didn’t really feel any pain, just that Alonso was very nervous.
-It’s good that it doesn’t hurt.
Although Vanessa had said it didn’t hurt, Alonso’s eyes were still filled with guilt. It was his inability to protect Vanessa that gave Graciela the opportunity to hurt her.
-I’m fine, you don’t have anything to blame yourself for. It’s just that there’s no way the engagement party can take place like this. What to do? The guests are almost here and it’s going to be hard on the Rasgado family and you if we don’t have an engagement party right now, isn’t it?
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.
Naturally, Alonso regretted that he was so close to celebrating an engagement party with Vanessa.
Even if for her it was all a sham, an act to play along.
Ultimately, it was Graciela’s fault.
What she had done to herself before, Alonso had endured because of his relationship with the Dávalos family. But this time she had crossed his line and Alonso didn’t want to let it go any longer.
It was time to talk to his father.
Friends don’t last forever, do they?
The Dávalos family was now going downhill, and it was not impossible that it would be swallowed up.
My father would be interested.
-All right, you get some rest, and I’ll go and fetch papa. Call the servants if you are hungry, and don’t think too much about it. This matter was caused by Graciela, and I’ll take care of it.
