Grabbing Zachariah’s hand, Savannah didn’t how what to do.
“Brother, it is all Cora’s idea. She’s the one who makes me do all these things. I didn’t intend to hire
someone to hit my sister-in-law. Please believe me. She really commanded me to do so.” Noticing her
brother remain indifferent, Savannah subconsciously tried to blame everything on Cora.
Zachariah got more disappointed by her words. He thought Cora would at least be regretful for what
she had done and apologized to her sister-in-law. However, instead of realizing how serious her
problem was, she just shirked responsibility and shifted the blame onto Cora.
The crime of hiring people to hit and run could put Savannah to jail if Zachariah filed lawsuit against her
in the court. She could probably be sentenced to death or life imprisonment in serious circumstances.
Zachariah remarked coldly, “Savannah, haven’t you realized you have done things wrong?”
Savannah answered indignantly, “Brother, it was Cora who incited me to do this. It’s all her fault.”
Zachariah laughed out of anger. He never realized his sister was so good at chicanery. He even felt
shameless for her.
“Savannah, I am really disappointed at you, but the more I feel is distress. I always treat you nicely in
the process of your growth. Although I am not good at expressing my feelings verbally, I will help you
when you get in trouble. I can even turn a blind eye when you put Ophelia in an embarrassing position.
However, I never expect that my indulgence will turn you for committing crimes. Do you know how
serious it is for contact killings?”
Savannah opened her eyes wildly, asking in a frightened but unbelievable manner, “Brother, will you
put me into jail?”
Showing a much colder expression, Zachariah clenched his fists tightly.
“If you are not my sister, I have hundreds of ways to make you suffer. I won’t put you to jail. I just want
to repeat my words. From now on, I will never mind your business. I will tell our parents about the
things you did. It’s none of my business about how they are going to punish you”, remarked Zachariah
coldly.
Savannah got more astonished.
She ran in front of her brother and argued helplessly, “Brother, please don’t tell mom and dad. Mom
always likes my sister-in-law. She won’t recognize me as her daughter any more if she knows it is me
who has hired the criminal.”
“Savannah, you should have the courage to take the consequence if you have done something wrong.
No one is responsible for the crime you have committed. Even if you are a wealthy girl from a powerful
family, there will still be people who can punish you. Look out for yourself.”
After finishing his speech, Zachariah bypassed her and was about to leave.
All of Savannah’s hands and feet went cold. She looked around, noticed the open window and ran
towards it on impulse. She then climbed on the window quickly.
“Brother, if you dare tell mom, I will jump off the building. Do you believe me or not?” Savannah pointed
out the window and threatened Zachariah excitedly.
Zachariah turned around and looked at her calmly.
“Are you going to jump?”
When seeing the scenery below, Savannah’s legs turned weak, trembling uncontrollably.
She had a fear of height.
“Brother, I don’t want to jump. Please don’t tell mom and dad the fact that I hire someone to hurt sister-
in-law. Everything is alright now. She is out of danger and her child is born safe and sound. Why don’t
you just let go?”
Zachariah’s lips curled up, coldly.
“Savannah, if you really jump, I will consider not tell mom and dad.”
Savannah opened her eyes widely and couldn’t believe what she heard.
“Brother, are you asking me to jump?”
“I didn’t ask you to. It was you who climbed on the window. What else are you going to do then?”
Zachariah folded his arms and looked at her calmly. His eyes were full of indifference.
Savannah’s legs trembled more heavily.
She asked with shivering lips, “Brother, do you really stop caring about me?”
“Savannah, it is not me who stops caring about you. What you have done really disappoints me. I
cannot forgive someone who dares hurt my wife and son.”
“But it is you who treat Ophelia as a pet!”
Zachariah was startled. Was it really his fault to make Savannah indulgent? In other words, was he the
indirect perpetrator?
Savannah kept accusing him, “Brother, if you don’t treat her blow hot and cold and seem to be
indifferent about her, I won’t dare hurt her. If you regard me as the perpetrator, you are the one who
assists a crime. Of course, I dare hurt her when noticing your unpredictable attitude. I thought you
didn’t care about their lives at all. I just wanted you to get rid of a woman you didn’t like. What is wrong
with that?”
Zachariah’s expressions changed quickly as his fists clenching more and more tightly.
Savannah stopped talking when seeing his irritation.
Zachariah looked at her, saying, “Look out for yourself.”
Then he turned around and left.
Savannah was left alone on the window. When seeing the scenery below, she hurriedly grabbed
against the wall in terror, crying, “Brother, I am afraid of height. Please come back.” However, no one
replied.
