Savanna had arrived at the largest and most dazzling villa in Seaview District. The villa
lookednmagnificent.
Savanna rang the doorbell and stepped right into the house when the door opened. The woman inside,
which was Betty, was surprised at the sight of Savanna. But slowly she regained her composure, and
then she asked with her eyebrows raised, “Why are you here?”
Obviously, Betty knew Savanna.
Perhaps, she even knew that Savanna would one day come here to find her.
That was why she could remain calm and look composed.
Savanna’s eyes swept around the living room. No one other than Betty was there. Therefore, Savanna
decided to cut to the chase, “Ms. Foley, I think you know who I am and why I am here today. This villa
belongs to my father, David. Please move out immediately.”
Betty glanced at her and snorted. “You don’t even want to make polite conversation, do you?
Presumably, you already know my relationship with your father. He left this villa for me when he was
alive. Why should I move out?”
Savanna narrowed his eyes. “I have never met anyone so shameless as you. You are one of a kind!”
Then Savanna clapped her hands twice, in the wake of which two shadowy figures came in from
outside. The next thing Betty knew, the two figures were smashing out whatever they could get their
hands on.
One thump came after another. Objects of various kinds kept crashing onto the floor.
Betty rushed forward to stop the two guys. But they were simply way stronger than her. Therefore,
Betty had to turn to Savanna instead and roared at her angrily, “Who do you think you are to treat me
like this? It’s not your place to do this!”
Savanna brushed Betty aside and stood at the entrance with her arms crossed.
Betty became almost hysterical and rushed over. “Savanna, I will get a lawyer.”
Savanna shrugged and said carefreely, “Go ahead.”
Betty clenched her fists and trembled with rage. That Savanna trespassing on her house really pissed
her off. Then Betty made a call, and soon her lawyer got there.
It seemed that the lawyer had long known the whole situation. The minute he entered the house, he
said to Savanna, “Ms. Thompson, your father left Ms. Foley the house in his will. Despite this house
belonging to him when he was alive, the facts were plain to see. Now it’s Ms. Foley’s.”
Savanna glanced at the will in the lawyer’s hand.
Everything was clearly stated in it. –
David’s signature was all too familiar to Savanna.
The signature was strong and forceful as usual, only that it looked rather heartbreaking now.
Savanna took a photo of the will and sent it to her lawyer who she had filled in on the whole thing
before she came here.
Soon, Savanna’s lawyer replied, “Ms. Thompson, it’s true that Mr. Thompson made this will. Now the
house belongs to Betty Foley.”
Savanna squeezed her phone hard upon reading the text, trying to fight back the tears in her eyes.
Then she said to Betty, “So what? That doesn’t change anything. You are still you, Betty, a slut who
took advantage of my father’s illness and thus swindled him out of the house.”
Betty giggled so hard that she almost shed tears. “Savanna, do you know what your father, David, once
said to me?
“He said that your mother, Krissa, was nothing but a bitch. He hated her. If there was a next life, he
would never want to be with her. But you know what? Deep down, David loved Krissa. He couldn’t have
Krissa, so David would rather say that he hated Krissa. Just look at me.”
Betty pointed to her own face. “Take a closer look and see if I bear a resemblance to your mother.”
Savanna looked at Betty’s face and found that Betty’s words made sense. Betty did bear a
resemblance to Krissa, be it the way she looked or her features. Then the way David doted on Krissa in
the past flitted through Savanna’s mind. They used to be an inseparable and loving couple. When
Krissa died, David even stayed beside her coffin for a whole day long. Everyone was moved by that.
But his affection for Krissa turned out to be fake.
Savanna found the whole thing unacceptable. David didn’t love Krissa. Instead, he hated her and even
went so far as to develop a relationship with someone who resembled Krissa. By doing this, he could
take revenge on Krissa, despite Krissa being dead.
At the thought of this, Savanna took a step back in shock.
Satisfied with how Savanna reacted, Betty chuckled, tears in her eyes.
“Your father… He was a devoted person. It’s so sad that I will never meet someone like him again.”
That was an emotional response. Maybe she missed David, maybe she got touched by how David was
as a lover all of a sudden, or maybe she said that for some other reasons.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a loud slap sounded. Betty’s head tilted right off.
As her head turned around, one could see a clear slap mark on her fair-skinned face.
Betty, her eyes wide open, stared at Savanna fiercely. “Admit it. You reached out to me today only
because you are jealous. Your father had betrayed you and your mother and chose me over you
guys. Savanna, do you want to know what kind of person your father is, the one you view as sacred
and inviolable?”
Savanna said, “Betty, what do you think you are? You simply aren’t worthy of all that! Even if the
relationship between you and my father is real, you are just a plaything for him.”
Betty smiled bitterly, with a smug expression on her face. “Have you ever seen a plaything that has
received a villa this big as a gift and was promised a spectacular wedding?
“Yes, your father was taking revenge on your mother who was promiscuous and didn’t know what was
good for her.”
And then, as if she felt she should get even tougher, Betty’s voice became harsher, “Do you know,
when your mother was alive, she had an affair with some other man? Your father hated her to the core
for that.”
“Bullshit.”
Savanna couldn’t bear it anymore, her eyes frighteningly red. Her entire body was trembling in rage.
“Who are you … to insult my mother?”
Savanna gritted her teeth and roared, almost losing her mind. Then she pounced towards Betty. But
Betty reached out and grabbed Savanna’s raised hand as if she knew things like this would happen.
Betty articulated each word, sounding cruel, “Savanna, even if your mother is still alive, David would
divorce her anyway. She is destined to be abandoned. Now, you have been abandoned by Brandon as
well. This is all bad karma of your mother being promiscuous. You, as her daughter, are meant to be
lonely forever.”
Betty threw her hand back fiercely, flinging Savanna to the ground.
There was a sharp pain in her body. But what made Savanna suffer was her aching heart. Savanna
slowly stood up and shot a sharp gaze at Betty. But before she could speak, Betty spoke up again, “Do
you know why I got to your father in the first place?”
“Brandon.” Betty sounded like she was casting a curse. “In order to get rid of you, he paid a large price
for me to seduce David. If the Thompson Group collapsed, no one would be able to support you
anymore. He then could marry the woman he loved. And this watch…”
Betty raised her wrist and pointed at the exquisite watch. “You should know it, right?”
