When Savanna saw Brandon‘s bloodshot eyes and terrifying expression, her heart missed a beat. “If
this is the only way I can meet Mandel, you can do whatever you want. I don‘t care.”
She thought, it‘s just sleeping with him once. We have slept together so many times.
Knowing clearly what Savanna was thinking, Brandon grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. He
released his hand and took a step back. He stared down at her fiercely and said, “Savanna, do you
really think that you are my one–and–only?”
Not daring to look directly into his cold eyes, Savanna looked down and swallowed as she remained
silent.
Brandon was disappointed by her performance.
“You can leave. From now on, get out of my face.”
It was no doubt that not only did she fail to see Mandel, but the cooperation between the Thompson
Group and the Young Group was also ruined.
Savanna was depressed.
They were no longer husband and wife and could no longer do something like that.
Savanna walked out of the room.
The door behind her shook with a loud bang and almost hit her back.
At the foot of the building, Leo was leaning against the flower bed smoking. Seeing Savanna coming
back in the cold night, Leo threw away the cigarette butt and quickly walked towards Savanna. “Where
did you go? Are you okay?”
During the two days of Leo‘s business trip, he had a bad feeling. He couldn‘t help but worry about
Savanna‘s safety.
Savanna looked at Leo with cold eyes. “Leo, do you know where I went?”
Leo did not speak He stared straight at her and waited quietly for her to continue.
“I went to Brandon‘s place.”
“Brandon is back?”
Leo was surprised.
Savanna continued, “Yes, he is back But he is no longer Brandon. He is Shelton, the grandson of
Lorena Young, the richest woman in Philadelphia. He has taken a turnaround. Leo, you can‘t defeat
him anymore.”
Not knowing whether she should be happy or not, as Savanna spoke, she felt tears kept running down
her cheeks.
Leo stood still with mixed feelings.
After a while, he said, “Savanna. In fact, from beginning to end, it was all Gordon‘s idea. He was the
one who planned everything.”
“He is the murderer. You are the one who handed over the knife.”
Savanna said in a faint tone, but there was an indescribable sense of condemnation in her tone.
“Savanna, Mr. Cassel has taught me a lot. I am happy that he can make a comeback”
Savanna smiled. Her smile was very faint and her eyes were full of ridicule. “Leo, the least people who
don‘t want him to return are you and Gordon, OK? Of course, he hates me too.”
As she spoke, the smile on Savanna smiled more dismissively. She said self–mockingly, “Not only did
he hate me, but he also didn‘t even allow me to meet ... Mandel.”
When he heard this news, Leo was shocked again. Seeing Savanna was heartbroken, Leo was
distressed and furious. “How could he do that? You are Mandel‘s biological mother.”
“I haven‘t raised him. I deserve it.”
Savanna stepped upstairs. Leo wanted to follow, but she turned around to stop him. “It‘s too late. You
can go back. I need to rest.”
When she finished speaking, Savanna went upstairs. Leo stood at the bottom of the white stairs,
looking up, quietly watching her slender figure disappear at the top of the stairs.
Savanna finished her shower and poured a glass of red wine. Recently, she had been suffering from
insomnia and often dreamed, but all her dreams were about Mandel.
She was afraid of dreaming about Mandel and afraid that he might be very sick.
A bottle of red wine was unconsciously finished by her. Her cheeks flushed as she stood in front of the
dressing mirror and smiled at it. It was an extremely bitter smile.
She stumbled to the big bed and fell onto it the next minute. Then she wrapped herself in the quilt and
fell asleep with the help of the red wine.
Savanna dreamed again. In the dream, Mandel‘s originally handsome little face was dark and thin. His
hand was like a withered vine. Savanna looked at Mandel‘s high cheekbones and actually cried out.
She opened her eyes and really cried.
Savanna wiped the tears off her face. Sitting on the bay window in a quilt, Savanna spent the whole
night looking out at the dazzling lights outside, waiting for dawn.
At the first faint rays of dawn, Savanna stood up. But her leg nerves had become numb from sitting too
long, and she almost fell off the bay window.
Savanna quietly waited for the discomfort in her legs to disappear.
After taking a deep breath, Savanna walked to the bathroom. As she brushed her teeth, she saw a
woman with heavy dark circles and loose hair as well as a pair of bloodshot eyes in the mirror. She
couldn‘t help but question herself, since when did I, the once bright and beautiful Savanna, become like
this?
After freshening up, she put on light makeup with a small mirror and walked out of the room with the
stack of
documents.
Neil had sent her a message, “Ms. Thompson, according to reliable information, Shelton will go to the
museum to participate in the event today and take a look at the open space near the museum. It is said
that the Young family wants to buy that open space for the office building of the Young Group.”
“Got it.”
Savanna replied to Neil.
After eating breakfast, Savanna drove to the Thompson Group. Along the way, her mind constantly
recalled the terrible dream last night.
The steering wheel was suddenly turned and the car was driven to the museum.
As soon as Savanna parked the car, she saw Leo and Mauricio coming out of the same car.
Deliberately taking a glance inside the car, Savanna found no sign of Gordon.
When Leo looked over, Savanna turned her face away and pretended not to see them.
The traffic policeman said hurriedly, “Make way.”
The crowd at the entrance of the museum immediately became two columns under the call of the traffic
police.
The golden Bentley Continental slowly drove over and passed through the crowd on both sides before
it directly entered the museum.
There was a celebrity feedback event in the museum today. Afraid that the tickets would be sold out
quickly, the fans had come early
Seeing that the Bentley Continental was about to disappear, Savanna desperately squeezed in. Leo
saw this and also squeezed over from the other side. He grabbed Savanna‘s shoulder and warned,
“Savanna, there are too many people. It‘s too dangerous. It‘s better not to go in.”
Leo thought that Savanna was here to participate in the museum celebrity feedback event.
Seeing such a big crowd, Leo persuaded Savanna in case she met safety problems.
Savanna looked back at Leo and replied in a neutral tone, “Why are you here?”
Then she glanced back at the crowd. “Are you also here to participate in the celebrity feedback event?”
“Yes.”
With an indifferent smile on her face, Savanna removed the hand that Leo held on her shoulder and
struggled forward
again, leaving Leo far away from her.
“Savanna,” Leo shouted from behind, but she pretended not to hear him.
Without the security guards noticing, Savanna rushed in and saw that the golden Bentley Continental
was parked by the flower bed. Brandon came out of the car, wearing a black suit and a white tie. He
looked domineering as usual in a three–piece suit.
Seth was carefully reporting something behind Brandon. So Brandon was walking slowly as if he was
listening to Seth.
Suddenly, he turned his head and his eyes met Savanna. In just a short moment, he looked away as if
she was a stranger to him. His face was colder than before.
Seeing Savanna, Seth paused. With his head bent, he began to say something again. He was so far
away that Savanna did not know what he was saying.
The head of the museum appeared with a group of people. He extended his hand and politely shook
hands with Brandon. Like stars bending towards the moon, Brandon walked upstairs surrounded by the
crowd.
At the end of the crowd, Seth looked back slowly and paused when he saw Savanna.
Savanna immediately rushed up.
“Mr. Bonner, is there hope for the Thompson Group?”
Seth knew that Savanna was asking about the cooperation between the Thompson Group and the
Young Group.
Seth frowned. “Ms. Thompson, what do you want? Cooperating with the Young Group or seeing
Mandel?”
Seth knew that Savanna parted on bad terms with Shelton the previous night.
