Brandon saw that there was no trace of emotion on her face, and his burning heart gradually cooled
down. He said, “If you don‘t come back to my side, don‘t even think about ... having Mandel.”
Brandon was always straightforward with his words and decisive with his actions. But today, he did not
seem to be able to say anything that was too ruthless.
He really didn‘t want to hurt Savanna, but she was too stubborn.
“Up to you.”
Savanna removed his hand that was holding her chin and turned to go upstairs.
When she reached the corner, she looked back and saw that Brandon‘s tall figure was still standing in
the same spot, his footsteps not moving at all.
Savanna forced herself to turn her face. She sat on the bed and looked at Mandel‘s sleeping face. Her
fingertips stroked the place where her kidney used to be. It hurt every rainy day. This was the result of
her loving Brandon for twelve years.
In addition to being covered in wounds, there was also this souvenir of knife pain.
“Brandon, you said you love me. If you really love me, how can you bear to hurt me?” She thought.
Last night, the scene of Tracy setting her up and Brandon letting go of her hand to save Tracy kept
replaying in Savanna‘s mind.
If it was true love, how could he bear to leave her hand when it was a life–and–death situation?
Winnie was dead, and Flora was back.
She was no longer young. She no longer had another twelve years to wait, to be expectant, and to wait
night after night. Savanna thought it through quite clearly.
No matter what, she could not come back.
As for Mande...
Savanna‘s gaze fell on the child‘s face. Brandon was quite honest just now. If she did not come back, it
would be impossible for her to get Mandel.
“Baby,” She caressed Mandel‘s face, “Mommy loves you. I love you very, very much. However, Mommy
can‘t live in pain and suffer like this.”
The roar of the car came from outside the window. Savanna stretched her head and looked out of the
window, just in time to see the Cayenne that rushed out of the villa like an arrow.
Mandel woke up, his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He rubbed his eyes and said, “Savanna, I had
a dream.”
Mandel talked about his dream. In his dream, he and Savanna went to the sea park to play. A man
came over. No matter how hard Mandel tried, he could not see the man‘s face clearly. The man held
Savanna and took her away. Mandel shouted until his throat was almost broken and his voice was
hoarse. But Savanna left with the man without turning a glance back.
Savanna did not know why the child would have such a strange dream. She comforted him by saying,
“It‘s a dream. I‘m here. Don‘t worry, I have to see you win the championship. I won‘t leave.”
Savanna‘s words reassured Mandel.
Mandel hugged her with his small arms and said, “Savanna, if you want to leave, you must tell me.”
Savanna looked at his eyelashes which were wet with tears. Her heart ached. She hugged Mandel
back and softly said, “Definitely.”
Not wanting to meet Brandon again, Savanna rented a house outside. That night, she moved out
regardless of Mandel‘s begging and Debbie‘s dissuasion.
Debbie called Brandon. But Brandon didn‘t pick up at first. When he finally picked up, he said coldly,
“Debbie, if she wants to leave, let her leave. It‘s not like I can control her legs. What can I do?”
After hearing Brandon‘s words, Debbie was so anxious and said, “Brandon, Savanna is a stubborn girl.
Can‘t you just say something sweet?”
What a wooden head! Debbie thought.
Brandon lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. White smoke emerged from his nostrils, and the hostility
in his eyes slowly gathered. He had said what he should say and what he should not say. Brandon had
never been so humble.
“That‘s it. Debbie, I still have something to deal with.”
Brandon hung up the phone without waiting for Debbie to speak.
Mandel followed Savanna to her house. At night, Mandel wanted to sleep with her, which Savanna felt
was inappropriate. She drove Mandel back and promised to contact him the next day. Mandel then
obediently returned home.
Savanna had just driven the car back to her rented house when the phone rang incessantly.
She had just picked up the phone when a familiar voice came from the other side, “Savanna, Brandon
is drunk. Come and pick him up.”
“Ben, I am not your sister–in–law. He is drunk. You can send him back, Don‘t call me again.”
Afraid that Savanna would hang up the phone, Ben called out anxiously, “But, he doesn‘t want us to
send him home. Savanna, he has been thinking about you for five years. Every time he comes out
with us, he never asks for women...”
Before Ben could finish, Savanna coldly interrupted him by saying, “You don‘t have to tell me this.
It has nothing to do with me.”
“Damn it,” Ben went mad and said, “Do you know why Dave returned the Thompson Group to you?”
Seeing that Savanna did not hang up the phone, Ben thought she should also want to know why Dave
returned the Thompson Group to her.
Ben simply blurted it all out. He said, “Five years ago, after you faked your death, Brandon was in so
much pain that he wanted to die. He put so much money into the Thompson Group. On the surface,
Dave owned the Thompson Group. In reality, Dave was just hired by Brandon to the group. Savanna,
think about it carefully. If it wasn‘t because of deep love, why would he do this?
“Yes, the Cassel Group has a lot of money, but it didn‘t need to waste money like this.”
This news shocked Savanna, but she quickly calmed down and said resolutely, “Even if I believe what
you said, I did not ask Brandon to do so. He did it of his own volition.”
This woman was too cruel, Ben thought.
Ben cursed, “Savanna, you‘re too heartless. Brandon was blind to fall for a heartless woman like you.”
“Ben, you‘re best friends. Find him a girl and don‘t call me again. Otherwise, I will call the police.”
Ignoring Ben, Savanna directly hung up the phone and even added Ben‘s number to the blacklist.
On the other side, Ben was so angry that he smashed the phone after he could not make a call to
Savanna.
Lucas was so excited that he could not even straighten his tongue when he received Savanna‘s call.
He called, “Savanna.”
“I heard that L&S Limited recently made a small profit. Lucas, do you want to buy my shares?”
Savanna called to ask for money.
Lucas suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, “Savanna, what are you taking the money for?”
“It‘s a little urgent.”
Savanna did not want to tell Lucas that she wanted to return the money Brandon put in the Thompson
Group.
Lucas pondered for two seconds before saying, “How much do you want?”
“Peel out my shares. From now on, L&S Limited has nothing to do with me.”
Savanna was being blunt.
She did not want to get involved with L&S Limited again.
She wanted to completely cut off all ties with the Davis Group and the Cassel Group. She wanted to
work hard for her own career and get out of Brandon‘s wings.
“Alright.”
Lucas knew that Savanna had changed ever since he hooked up with women outside. Perhaps, she
just could never bear cheating!
Lucas gave Savanna her shares. Savanna took the money and went to Brandon.
