When they were in high school, Savanna and Neil barely talked to each other. In fact, they were not
friends. Savanna was the boss of the Thompson Group. If something happened to her employees, she
had to visit them. Moreover, it happened during their work periods. If she didn’t go, her employees
would be disappointed.
Savanna went to the detention center to visit Neil. Neil asked for a cigarette from Justin, who was next
to him. Neil didn’t say anything when he was smoking. When he was done, he asked Savanna.
“Ms. Thompson, please help me to ask Lucas for help. Tell him that I am begging him. If I can go out, I
am willing to do anything for him.”
Neil was smart. He knew that Savanna did not have the ability to save him. Even if Savanna had the
ability to save him, she would not help him. Because it was not worth it.
Savanna didn’t ask questions. She left with Justin.
Savanna dialed the number of Lucas that Neil gave her.
Lucas did not want to get involved with Neil’s problem. He thought that since Savanna called him, he
had to come over. Savanna told Lucas what Neil had said. Lucas looked at Savanna with a mysterious
gaze.
“Ms. Cassel, it looks like you really don’t know why that happened to Neil, do you?”
Savanna frowned when she heard Lucas’ words.
“Don’t address me that way.”
Lucas smiled. He did not know whether Savanna was pretending to be unaware of his relationship with
Brandon or not.
Since Savanna denied it, Lucas guessed that there was something wrong with the relationship between
her and Brandon. The reason why he thought like this was that he had figured out some things when
he went back last night. For example, when Brandon and Savanna met at the club, they were not
enthusiastic. At least, they were not like normal couples.
Lucas thought of something.
He said, “I can’t do anything for Neil.”
It was not that he could not help Neil, but he did not dare to. However, Lucas could not tell Savanna the
truth
As soon as Lucas finished speaking, he could clearly tell that Savanna’s gaze had changed. It became
strange and there was contempt. Lucas was unable to accept Savanna’s contempt.
“I don’t know anyone who can heln
Buzz…
The urgent sound of the phone interrupted Lucas. He turned around to answer the phone. No one
knew what Lucas had heard. His expression changed soon. He said, “Alright, I’ll be back soon.”
After hanging up the phone, Lucas walked to his car. As he walked, he turned back and explained to
Savanna.
“Something happened at home. I have to go back to the US immediately.”
Savanna quickly chased after him.
“Lucas, you have to help Neil. He is young and…”
Before Savanna could finish her words, Lucas had gotten into the car and started it. Before driving
away, Lucas turned to Savanna and said, “Don’t worry. You should be optimistic. No one died in
Neil’s accident. As long as the compensation is enough, Neil will be fine.”
“But…”
Savanna still wanted to say something, but Lucas’ car rushed out, and it soon faded from Savanna’s
sight.
The truth was that Neil didn’t have the money to settle this problem privately. Even if Neil had money, it
wouldn’t work. The one who was hit by Neil’s car was disdainful of money. Savanna had asked
someone to negotiate with that man, but that man said that he only wanted to send Neil to jail.
Neil, who was in the detention center, had not seen Lucas in the end. He understood that Lucas would
not help him. He had no choice but to call Savanna. This was the second time Savanna went to the
detention center. This time, Neil’s face was pale and his gaze was fierce. He stared at Savanna and
said, “Ms. Thompson, I know something about the core technology of the Thompson Group. The air
here is humid, and my brain might not work as well as it used to. I am not sure if I will leak the
technology by accident. If the secrets of the Thompson Group are leaked, it will be terrible.”
Savanna looked at Neil and said, “Are you threatening me?”
Neil smiled, “You can’t say that. I just want to remind you that I am still valuable to the Thompson
Group”
Savanna was not a weak woman. The sympathy for Neil disappeared after she was threatened.
Her cold smile was able to send a chill down anyone’s spine, especially Neil’s. Savanna said, “I’m
sorry, the Thompson Group would not need a despicable person. Please do as you please.”
After that, Savanna stood up from the stool. Seeing that Savanna was about to leave, Neil became
anxious. He shouted, “Savanna, make it clear! Who is a despicable person?”
Savanna smiled. She looked at Neil several times from head to toe and said, “Neil, I remember that it
was you who found me and said that you would work for the Thompson Group, right?”
Seeing that Neil was silent, she added, “It’s fine that you recommend yourself. In this period of time,
how many things have you done for the Thompsons Group? You know best in your heart. Last night,
why did you ask me to go to the club? Do you want me to offer service to them?”
Hearing this, Neil was anxious and blushed. “No. I just want to introduce you to Lucas. Lucas has lots
of friends. If you make friends with him, you will definitely not lose out. Maybe it will even bring a lot of
benefits for the Thompson Group.”
Savanna’s gaze was cold, like a sharp arrow that could pierce ice. She looked at Neil and said, “Neil,
do you think that it is difficult for a woman to be successful and women will definitely become men’s
playthings? Is that so?”
Neil was silent.
Regardless of how embarrassed Neil looked, Savanna said calmly, “Neil, you know best who Lucas is.
Last night, you drugged me.”
It was not a question, but a statement.
Savanna was not stupid. When Neil proposed toasts to her, she was on guard. She only drank a little of
that drugged wine. In fact, she was still drunk and unconscious.
Last night, she was drunk and could not remember everything.
The premise was that nothing happened to her. If something happened to her, she would definitely not
forgive Neil and Lucas.
Savanna’s words were straightforward, and Neil didn’t know how to retort. Neil had thought that
Savanna was just a pure, simple woman, but he didn’t expect that she was simple on the surface, but
in fact, she was scheming.
At this point, Neil had no choice but to treat Savanna as a lifeline. He begged, “Ms. Thompson, I’m not
that kind of person. We are not enemies. I have no reason to hurt you. We are classmates.”
“Classmates?”
Savanna sneered
Neil was upset. He was afraid that he would not be able to get out if he entered jail. He said, “It’s not
that I want to hurt you, but…”
“Go ahead.”
Savanna’s voice became cold and sharp.
“Tracy asked me to do that. She said that as long as you were raped by Neil, she would give me 750
thousand dollars. My mother was sick and my brother needed to go to school. I really need money.”
Savanna knew that Neil was from a poor family. He lost his father early and had lived with his mother
since he was a child. Later, his mother married a bad man who often hurt his mother. He was so angry
that he took his mother out. Later, his mother gave birth to his half-brother. His stepfather refused to
raise the child. Neil had no choice but to raise him.
“Tracy?”
Savanna bit her lip
“Yes, that abnormal sister of Brandon.”
Neil was afraid that Savanna would not let him go, so he pushed the responsibility away.
Savanna thought for a while and asked, “What is the relationship between her and Lucas?”
“Lucas is her cousin!”
Suddenly, Savanna remembered that the Cassel family seemed to have a relative with the Davis
family. Lucas was the son of Brandon’s aunt. Many years ago, because of a grudge, Brandon’s aunt,
Nancy Cassel, took her son away and never returned.
In the two years that Savanna and Brandon had been married, they rarely returned to the old
residence.
Sometimes, Giselle mentioned Nancy, but Giselle rarely mentioned Lucas, because Avery did not like
the Davis family, so Savanna did not know who Nancy’s son was.
Savanna said, “In other words, you premeditated entering the Thompson Group.”
Neil did not answer. The answer was obvious. Neil pretended to help Savanna. He was instructed by
Tracy, and his goal was to find an opportunity to hurt Savanna.
Neil said, “Savanna, since you know, I don’t want to hide it from you anymore. Tracy seems to hate
you. That bitch! She doesn’t care about me. I don’t need to be loyal to her.”
Neil was angry, so he cursed Tracy directly
Sering that Savanna did not speak, Neil suddenly thought of something.
He asked, “Last night, Neil didn’t. Did he?”
Last night, he was unlucky. As soon as he drove out of the club, he bumped into someone. Neil was
busy and did not know what was going to happen next
