Brandon called Ben. He asked Ben to help investigate the Young and Davis families, especially the
story Lorena told.
After hanging up the phone, Ben went to investigate.
At this time, Brandon’s mind was completely a mess. For some reason, he didn’t want to return to the
Rose Villas.
Brandon walked on the dark streets of New York, looking so lonely.
Besides feeling apprehensive, Brandon was also suffering from fear. He had never felt so afraid before.
The phone in his pocket kept ringing.
After a long time, Brandon reached into his pocket and took out his phone to take a look. He saw the
name Savanna on the screen, and the sorrow in his eyes grew stronger.
The ringing stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence. Just as Brandon was about to put the
phone back into his pocket, the screen lit up again, with the sound of the harsh ringing.
Brandon pressed the answer button. “Hello.”
It was very quiet on the other side of the phone. If not for the light breathing he heard, Brandon would
have thought that the call had ended.
After a moment of silence, he called out softly, “Savanna.”
At last, she heard Brandon’s voice. On the other side, Savanna was so excited that she burst into
tears. Her fingers that were holding the phone trembled slightly. “Where … are you?”
Brandon lowered his eyes and felt so sad as he heard Savanna’s voice which was obviously
restrained. “I’m dealing with some affairs. It’s so late, and why haven’t you slept yet?”
Brandon’s gentle voice, as well as the words of concern, suddenly warmed Savanna and made her
distressed. All her worries and fears that had been haunting her for 6 hours instantly vanished.
She said with a trembling voice, “I can’t sleep without you.”
Brandon replied as he reached out to stop the car, “I’ll be right back.”
When Brandon returned, the villa was dark except for the two street lamps on the corridor.
He directly returned to the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Savanna stood by the window with her messy hair and thin pajamas. When
she heard the sound of the door opening, she looked up at the door. The moment she saw Brandon,
Savanna’s hand that was holding a cigarette trembled.
After being stunned for a second, she pinched her cigarette and was about to rush over to him.
However, just as her legs moved, her entire body fell to the ground. Brandon quickly stepped forward
and held her into his arms. The two of them hugged each other tightly. Savanna buried her face in
Brandon’s chest. Not long later, Brandon felt that the shirt at the chest was wet.
Savanna took a deep breath and tried to control her voice from trembling. “Where … did you go?”
Brandon feli Savanna’s nervousness. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. The coldness from
Savanna in his arms made him distressed. He carried her horizontally to the bed. Brandon tucked her
in carefully and took a deep breath, asking, “After I left, did you always stand by the window?”
Savanna did not say anything.
Brandon felt both distressed and angry.
He held her chin and lifted her up. Their gazes met. Under the light, Brandon saw tears on
Savanna’s pale face. His heart suddenly felt a sharp pain. “Why are you torturing yourself like this?”
Seeing Savanna like this, Brandon felt that his heart was broken.
“I thought … that you didn’t want me anymore and would never come back,” Savanna said irritably.
The shock and fear on her face looked so obvious. She was so nervous. “I don’t know what happened
to me. Brandon, I thought about it for a long time after you left. Maybe there was something wrong with
the medicine… I…”.
Savanna stretched her neck and kissed Brandon’s lips.
Feeling the softness and warmth from Savanna, who was teasing him, Brandon was instantly aroused
and couldn’t resist such temptation. After all, he was a young man.
Brandon suppressed the desire in his heart and pulled Savanna away. Savanna gasped for breath. She
stared at Brandon’s exquisite appearance with her burning look, asking, “Do you dislike me?”
“How can I dislike you? I just don’t want you to be wronged.”
There was something wrong with her body, and as her man, Brandon thought that he should be
considerate of her.
Savanna smiled. She stretched out her hand and pushed him down. She tried everything she could to
arouse herself and Brandon. Brandon knew that she was trying her best to please him. Therefore, he
also tried his best to cooperate with her.
With everything done, just as he could not take it anymore and was about to make the last move,
Savanna cried out, jumped out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, and slammed the door.
Savanna’s sudden escape was like a slap to Brandon’s face.
Brandon punched the head of the bed hard in frustration.
The surging emotions in his mind also gradually calmed down because of his frustration.
When Savanna calmed her fear and came out, Brandon was no longer in the room. Savanna panicked.
She ran out of the room barefooted. When she saw the light in the study, Savanna slowly got relieved.
She didn’t dare to disturb him anymore.
She wanted to please him, but just now, the overwhelming panic and fear made her unable to bear it.
Savanna felt that she was about to suffocate, so she escaped.
Sexual love was a great help to maintain the relationship between a couple.
However, Savanna couldn’t do it. As a man, Brandon had normal physiological needs. She could see
that he was enduring it for her. However, how long could this patience last?
One day, two days, one year, or two years… How long would it take for her to recover from this illness?
The uncertain future made Savanna feel a trace of fear and panic.
Her bright eyes were full of confusion.
That night, Brandon did not return to the master bedroom to sleep but went to the guest room.
Gordon’s mother, Veronica, was “invited” into a villa by Brandon with delicious food and drinks.
Brandon told her the story of him and Savanna. Deeply moved, Veronica promised to go to the prison
to persuade Gordon.
After they arrive at the prison, Brandon waited outside. Seth took Veronica in to visit Gordon.
When Gordon saw Veronica, who had been grey-haired, tears suddenly streamed down his face. He
hoarsely called out, “Mom, why are you here?”
Veronica’s gaze was fixed on Gordon’s face as she felt so distressed. “Gordon, you have been
emaciated. Shelton told me everything about you. Just give the medicine to Shelton. Our Stone Family
has no enmity with the Young family, and we are distant relatives. You should help them. I heard the
story of Savanna and Shelton, and I feel so sad.”
Brandon made use of Veronica to plead with him, which Gordon had not expected. He had always
thought that Brandon would harm his family, but…
Gordon said painfully, “I don’t have the medicine. The people with the medicine are all dead. Their
death has nothing to do with me. When I poached them, they had already taken old Mrs. Young’s
chronic poison without knowing it. It was really done by old Mrs. Young. For the sake of pleasing her
grandson, she put all her blame on me. Mom, I don’t have any evidence now. I can only be
imprisoned.”
Veronica was old. Although she and Lorena were distant relatives, they had not contacted each other
for many years. Veronica did not know much about Lorena. After listening to Gordon’s words, she
sighed and blamed him, “If you did not have any evil thoughts, you would not be tricked by her.
Anyway, Savanna is innocent. Give her the medicine first. Shelton has promised that as long as
Savanna is cured, he will help you to get out of jail.”
Gordon did not want to stay in a place without freedom. He really wanted to go out. However, he had
no medicine to exchange with Shelton.
Hearing Gordon saying no, Veronica became anxious. “After you poached that group of people, they
had worked for you for a while. It was impossible for you to not have a single one of the medicine they
developed. Gordon, if you don’t give the medicine, no one will help you go out! Why are you so stupid?”
Veronica shouted.
She was about to hit Gordon with her stick, but Seth stopped her and held her stick.
Seth said, “Mrs. Stone, don’t be angry. You should care about your health.”
Veronica was so angry that the muscles on her face trembled. “If you don’t take out the medicine, I will
die in front of you.”
Veronica was forcing Gordon.
Gordon was so panicked that he fell to the ground with a bang.
“Mom, I really don’t have the medicine. I asked Chandler Partridge to keep the medicine, but I really
don’t know where he is now.”
Gordon kept blaming himself for trusting others so easily. How could he let Chandler be his assistant?
Chandler actually had taken the medicine and escaped. No matter how carefully Brandon tried to
search, he still failed.
