Crack Brandon seemed to hear his heart break.
His face was as pale as a sheet. His nails dug into his flesh, and his palm bled.
Brandon stood up and walked out of the hospital toward the busy streets. He wandered for a long time.
His toes were numb, and his mind was blank, but he did not care at all.
His only bit of belief collapsed. He had nothing to care about.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky, and the passers–by all took shelter. Only Brandon was standing in
the rain alone, allowing the drizzle to wet his hair and clothes.
Brandon seemed to be unable to hear any sound in the world as he was immersed in his sadness.
The world blurred before his eyes. There seemed to be someone rushing over.
Brandon quickly grabbed the person‘s shoulders and said, “Savanna...”
An unfamiliar face slowly became clear in his eyes. It was not Savanna.
Brandon let her go and went straight ahead, as if he had gone mad.
The woman grabbed his hand, her voice light and filled with emotion. “May I ask if you are Mr. Cassel?”
Brandon slowly turned his head. He carefully identified the facial features of the woman in front of him.
Among the women he knew, this woman looked extremely ordinary, but her clothes were elegant.
“You are?” Brandon frowned.
“You don‘t know me, but I know you, Mr. Cassel. There is a pub ahead. Can we have a talk there?”
Brandon smiled. “Not available.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, the woman stopped him. “I can find the person who can donate
bone marrow to your son. In just a few minutes, you can save your own child. You won‘t lose out on
this deal.”
Brandon was about to leave when he subconsciously paused. His gaze turned back to the woman‘s
face.
He was no longer the same as before, and the woman‘s words were extremely tempting to him.
Brandon followed the woman into the pub after two seconds of hesitation.
In the Rose Villas in New York.
Leo and Savanna went in together. When Lizeth saw them come in, she became excited and her eyes
were wet. She ran towards Leo. “Mr. Baker.”
Leo handed the red certificates to Lizeth. “Lizeth, I‘ve found someone to settle your boyfriend‘s matter.
This is your marriage certificate.
“Oh, no, it should be your husband.” Realizing that he had said the wrong word, Leo corrected in time.
Lizeth took the marriage certificates, elated. She kept stroking the certificate and even kissed their
photo lightly.
Lizeth‘s boyfriend, Aiden Dutton, was a sophomore at university. His father was a professor and his
mother was an executive. His family looked down on Lizeth‘s low education and her job as a nanny and
did not agree to their marriage.
Aiden‘s mother even found someone to threaten Lizeth. Last night, Lizeth was almost hurt. Aiden had a
big fight with his parents after knowing it and was locked up at home by his parents.
After Lizeth called Aiden, Aiden said to Lizeth that if she did not want to lose him, she should
immediately register her marriage with him, and Lizeth agreed hesitantly.
Aiden threw his document down from the courtyard wall. Lizeth asked Leo for help, and Leo personally
went to pick it up.
Leo got someone to register for marriage for Lizeth and Aiden.
Although that might offend Aiden‘s parents, Leo still helped Lizeth, who was especially touched.
“Thank you, Mr. Baker.” Lizeth‘s gratitude was beyond words.
“Take good care of Savanna. That is what I need from you.”
After Leo finished speaking, he turned to look at Savanna, who was silent. He knew that Savanna did
not agree with him helping Lizeth. When he just got out of the car, she said Leo was too nosy and that
if Aiden‘s parents did not agree, Lizeth would not be happy even if she married him.
Leo looked at Savanna affectionately and said, “Lizeth usually takes care of you, and she does a good
job. If I can help her, I am willing to do anything.” He helped Lizeth because Lizeth was close to
Savanna. Leo wanted to buy off Lizeth to woo Savanna.
Savanna knew that.
Her indifferent expression showed that she was not interested in Leo at all.
Staring at Savanna from behind as she went upstairs, Leo felt upset. No matter what he did, it seemed
that he would not be able to get Savanna‘s heart.
Like before, Savanna was an unattainable dream to him.
She was born to be a star, which he yearned to have. However, no matter how hard he tried, he
seemed to be unable to have it in his entire life.
With the efforts of Savanna, the Thompson Group quickly took off and became one of the top
companies in New York. Even Gordon had to admit that Savanna was a business genius.
Tonight, Gordon invited a few business celebrities in New York.
Savanna arrived late. Gordon took her coat and handed it to the waiter. He quickly poured wine for her
and said fawningly, “Savanna, drink three glasses for being late.”
“Alright.” Savanna picked up the glass and glanced at the celebrities present. All of them were the big
shots in New York. “Everyone, I came late. Please forgive me. I‘ll drink three glasses for that.”
The celebrities were originally dissatisfied with Savanna for her being late, but when they saw her
swallow three glasses of wine, they gradually became happy.
At the dinner table, women had always been kept as accompany.
However, Savanna was famous in the business world, and the celebrities did not dare to look down on
Savanna.
“Ms. Thompson, you‘re indeed a heroine.” Howard Zachary, the president of the Grand Group, gave
her a thumbs–up.
“You live up to your reputation. You are so successful at such a young age.” Keaton Lumley, the
president of the Northern group, echoed.
Another celebrity nudged Keaton with a smile, his words meaningful. “Ms. Thompson, let‘s not talk
about anything else. Since you can take down Brandon by yourself, you are so capable. Come, let‘s
toast to Ms. Thompson.”
Everyone raised their glasses.
Savanna looked calm and collected with a smile, but she didn‘t feel so. She drank a glass of wine and
said with a smile, “Everyone, I don‘t have the ability to take down Brandon. Besides, Brandon is my ex–
husband. My marriage with him is broken, but I am not so heartless and cruel to the point of wanting
him to go bankrupt. I don‘t dare to take this credit.”
As she spoke, she looked at Gordon, “Am I right, Gordon?”
Gordon was smiling, but his strange subtle expression did not escape Savanna‘s eyes.
Gordon patted Savanna on the shoulder and said in a low voice, “Savanna, all the guests tonight are
celebrities. If you want to do more business, drink more. As long as you can keep drinking, you will
have a lot of money.”
“Alright.”
The smile on Savanna‘s face became even brighter. She obediently replied, “I’ll listen to you.”
Savanna took a glass and began to drink with the celebrities. These days at the table, Savanna had
long known the mentality of big shots. After a round of toasts, all the celebrities were drunk.
In the end, all the big shots were so drunk that they were unconscious. Even Gordon was drunk and
the assistant supported him when they left.
Savanna felt a little dizzy. She staggered out of the room. Leo came over to help her, but she shook
him off.
“Savanna,” Leo shouted.
“You‘re not allowed to call me that.” Savanna smiled, and the pain in her heart increased, almost
suffocating her.
She looked at Leo with hatred. “Leo, go and crash Gordon‘s car.”
Leo was shocked. He stood there, pursing his lips and not saying a word.
The smile on Savanna‘s lips gradually became cynical. She looked down and walked past him.
As she walked, she ordered Neil on the phone, “Do it!
