In the banquet hall, Terri appeared again. It seemed that she had cleaned herself up and changed her
evening dress. She was stunning again. She was holding Harris’ arm. It seemed that Harris had
comforted her. They began to chat with the guests in a good mood. They were very intimate. It seemed
that the embarrassing scene just now had never happened.
Savanna was afraid that they would come over. She held Giselle’s hand and felt Savanna’s
nervousness. Giselle followed her gaze and saw Terri and Harris, who were very close to each other.
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth hard. After all, Territook her place. If it were not for Terri,
she would probably be the one with Harris now.
“Mom.”
Savanna held onto Giselle tightly, not letting her get up.
“Do not go.”
However, Giselle, who was controlled by anger at that time, did not listen to her advice.
Giselle shook off her hand and was about to get up and rush over. There was a commotion in the
banquet hall, and everyone looked at the door.
Savanna also looked at the door. When she saw Brandon and Jim, she was immediately overjoyed.
Her tense heart immediately relaxed. Brandon looked around the entire hall. He didn’t seem to be in a
good mood. He walked up to Savanna with long legs. He glanced at Savanna, who was holding
Giselle’s hand, and then turned his head to look at the two people who were drinking with others. He
turned around and asked Giselle, “Mom, why are you asking for it?”
Giselle was always proud of her son. Now, her son stood up for her.
Giselle no longer suppressed her emotions. She was overwhelmed by sadness. “Brandon…”
She shouted and threw herself into Brandon’s arms.
Brandon held Giselle in his arms and was about to leave with his mother. Unexpectedly, Harris and
Terri walked toward them one after another.
Harris was in front, and Terri followed closely behind.
Harris shouted at Brandon, “Brandon, why did you come so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long
time.”
Brandon did not show any enthusiasm. Instead, he was very cold. Perhaps, he thought that his father
was already dead.
Brandon asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
Seeing his son’s indifferent attitude, Harris was in pain. He said, “Brandon, I’m going to move back
Harris deliberately said this because he wanted to benefit from Brandon’s reputation.
Brandon glanced at many people who did not have a powerful background. The most powerful person
had to rely on the Cassel family to do business. The contempt in Brandon’s eyes was so obvious. “We
are not familiar with each other. We have nothing to do with each other. As for H&T Limited, it’s none of
my business whether you want to go back to New York. Everyone goes on their own path. I think
everyone knows how the Cassel Group survived back then.”
Brandon didn’t regard Harris as his father.
He even told everyone that there was no relationship between H&T Limited and the Cassel Group. If
any company that had business cooperation with the Cassel Group wanted to work with H&T
Limited, it would become the Cassel family’s and Brandon’s enemy.
Hearing this, Harris scowled.
“Brandon, no matter what, I am your father. This is a fact. You can’t change that. Do you think that if
you don’t talk to me, I will no longer be your father?”
After hearing Harris’ words, Giselle, who was excited, raised her head. She looked at Harris with
resentment and pain, as well as silent accusations.
“From now on, you are not my father anymore.”
“Giselle.” Terri staggered forward and wanted to speak to Giselle, but Giselle turned her face away.
Giselle still wanted to say something, but when she saw Brandon’s cold gaze, her legs trembled in fear.
Brandon left with Giselle. After taking two steps, he stopped and slowly turned his head. His voice was
dangerous. “Don’t disturb us again. Otherwise, there is no place for you in New York.”
Although Harris was annoyed, he was intimidated by his son’s dignity. He did not dare to chase after
Brandon. He could only stand on the spot with a stunned expression.
Brandon put his mother in the front passenger’s seat. He opened the car door and Savanna got in the
car. He followed Savanna into the car and closed the car door. Jim started the car. As soon as the car
drove to the road, Giselle started to complain. “Who does he think he is? He would rather suffer with
the bitch than come back. Brandon, Terri hit Savanna today. You must avenge Savanna.”
Savanna heard Giselle’s angry words and knew that she deliberately brought that thing up. Giselle said
it for two purposes. First, she wanted to protect Harris. She was afraid that it would worsen the
relationship between Harris and Brandon. Second, she wanted Brandon to hate Terri and take care of
Terri secretly.
Savanna saw through Giselle, but she did not expose Giselle’s plan.
Brandon heard his mother’s words and immediately looked at Savanna. He asked, “Did Terri hit you?”
Savanna glanced at Giselle, who was looking back at her. She nodded slightly
“Where did she hit you?”
Brandon’s tone was a bit fierce
As he spoke, he grabbed her chin and turned her head. Savanna met Brandon’s cold eyes and was
shocked. She shook her head slightly and turned her head away
“I dodged it.”
Savanna had just finished speaking when Giselle spoke again. “You tilted your head, but that punch
still hit your face. Brandon, hurry up and look at Savanna. Is she alright?”
Giselle suddenly felt that this was a good chance to fix them up, so she hurriedly urged Brandon
Brandon lowered his eyes and glanced at Savanna. He turned his large palm over and held Savanna’s
small hand. His tone was gentle.
“Let me see.”
His hoarse voice caused Savanna’s ears to turn red.
Seeing that Brandon insisted on examining her injury, Savanna pointed to her left cheek. “Here. It’s not
a big deal.”
Brandon leaned forward and felt his hot breath. Savanna’s ears turned even redder, and she even
began to pant. Brandon looked at her left cheek seriously and gently stroked it with his fingertips. It hurt
so much that Savanna called out and her neck shrank.
Brandon’s gaze fell from her face to her neck. Seeing that there were bruises on her neck, he said
angrily, “Silly girl! Why didn’t you dodge?”
Savanna didn’t know what to say. “I dodged. Otherwise, it would have been even more serious.”
The black Cayenne stopped at the entrance of the Cassel’s house. Giselle got out of the car and said
to Brandon, “Brandon, come down. I have something to tell you.”
Brandon obeyed his mother and got out of the car.
Giselle glanced at Savanna, who was sitting in the back seat. Giselle pulled Brandon to the side and
whispered.
“Brandon, Savanna has been calling me mom all the time today. When Terri hit me, she protected me
and got hurt. Her mom saved your mom. Now, she’s risking her life to protect your mom.
