In the morning, Leo came to find Savanna. Savanna had not woken up yet, so Leo waited outside.
Savanna finished washing up, changed out of her pajamas, walked out of the room, and said to Leo, who was sitting on the sofa, browsing news on his ph one. âYouâre here so early. Whatâs the matter?â
Leo looked up at Savanna and said evasively, âThe Dawson Group is bankrupt.â
Savanna took the phone Leo raised and looked at it. News about the Dawson Groupâs bankruptcy, Samâ
s sudden death, and his wifeâs suicide met her eyes.
Savanna was shocked.
Her fingers continued to scroll the screen. As the phone page scrolled down, Savanna read all the reports about the Dawson Group. âShockedâ was not enough to describe her current mood.
âShocked, right?â Leo said.
âLeo, do you know who did it?â Savanna asked.
âThere are rumors outside. They all say that Brandon did this.â
âImpossible.â Savanna absolutely did not believe it. She knew Brandon.
Brandon had a very good relationship with Ben and Bob. Bob was always obedient to him. There was no need for Brandon to hurt Bob like this.
âHow is that impossible?â Leo looked at Savanna, his eyes flashing with a faint light. He said, âWhen I was still at the Cassel Group, Brandon had always wanted to make a move to the Dawson Group. Later, with Benâs
help, Brandon started cooperation with Bob, and his ambition faded. But Savanna, donât forget that Brandon is a businessman. To a businessma n, the first thing he would consider is the benefit.
What sworn brothers? It is all nonsense.â
From Leoâs words, Savanna sensed a trace of hatred toward Brandon.
She calmed down and said, âLeo, you have had a hard time these years, but let the past be the past. We donât have to bother about it anymore, okay?â
When Leo met Savannaâs expectant gaze, he really wanted to say, âAlright, Iâll listen to you and let everyt hing pass.â But he couldnât.
Whenever he thought of Missyâs tragic death, he couldnât sleep for the entire night.
If it werenât for Brandon, Missy wouldnât have died. He had to avenge Missy.
Leo covered his forehead, his fingertips blocking the sadness in his eyes and the wound in his heart. He
never wanted his feelings to be exposed in front of Savanna.
âSavanna, I canât lie to you. I hate Brandon, but he once saved my life.â
Obviously, Leo had fallen into the contradiction of gratitude and revenge.
The pain and entanglement had existed for a long time.
Seeing Leo in such pain, Savanna felt sorry for him. She said, âIâm the reason for those tragedies. If you
want to blame someone, blame me.â
Leo held her hand and said, âI have never blamed you, Savanna. Mr. Cassel is too ruthless. He asked so meone to kill me. He also killed Missy and Gordonâs mother. The investigation suggests that the car accident is r elated to Mr. Cassel. What do you think I should do?â
Savanna thought in shock, Missy ... died?
Savanna could not breathe. Her mouth was wide open, as if she could not believe it. After being stunned for a long time, she finally regained consciousness and said, âDid you say
that Missy was dead?â
Leo closed his eyes in pain, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes. He said, âShe is only eleven. She
is the only sister I love deeply in my life. Gordonâs mother died because of me.â
Savanna was shocked to the point that his heart was pounding, She did not expect Brandon to be such a vicious person and said, âLeo, could there be a mistake?â
Leo pursed his lips and sneered, âWe have offended a lot of people, but we have already given up the old business for many years. And we do nât want to get involved again. Besides, all the things I told you just now happened after I left Mr. Cassel. Savanna, perhaps you donât know Brandon as you think. He can be the most ruthless and vicious person when he wants to achi eve his goal. This is also what he once told me.â
Suddenly realizing something, Savanna held his hand back and asked eagerly, âThen, you came back this time under the guise of starting a company. Your purpose of coming back is to find Brandon for revenge, right?â
Leo did not deny it. He did not want to lie to his most beloved woman.
Seeing Leo pursing his lips and remaining silent, Savannaâs gaze landed on his phone. She asked, âLeo, did you do this?â
âNo,â Leo answered simply.
Savanna was a little relieved.
After Leo left, Savanna couldnât calm down for a long time.
Before going back to work in the Thompson Group, she asked Justin and Neil back.
Justin and Neil had already seen the news of the Dawson Group going bankrupt. They were in the middle of a discussion in the office when Savanna arrived. They stood up and walked to Savanna.
Neil said, âMs. Thompson, Bob and Brandon have turned against each other, which is very advantageou s to us.â
As if he was afraid that Savanna was still immersed in the past, Neil talked about the benefit first.
Justin said, âBrandon is too ruthless. He could even scheme against his sworn brother. So, Ms. Thompso n, it is wise to leave him.â
âYou two go to work first,â Savanna ordered.
Justin and Neil immediately left.
Savanna stood in front of the window and looked at the magnificent building outside the window with mix ed feelings.
Mandel called her in the afternoon.
Mandel invited her to dinner at home and specially informed her that Brandon would not come back at ni ght.
Debbie took the phone from Mandel and said to her, âSavanna, itâs been a long time since I last saw you.
I miss you so much. I made your favorite food.â
Savanna could not refuse Debbieâs kindness.
Savanna went over after work.
When Mandel saw Savanna, he immediately threw himself into her arms and started talking endlessly.
Halfway through the meal, the door lock turned. Brandon came back.
He took off his coat and handed it to the servant. He asked, âWho is it?â
âMs. Thompson is here to accompany Mandel for dinner.â
Brandonâs hands paused as he heard the words. When he passed by the restaurant entrance, he glanced inside. Sure enough, he saw Savannaâs slender and beautiful back. Mandel sat beside her and kept whisp her. From time to time, Savannaâs laughter could be heard from inside.
Brandon was stunned. He hadnât heard her laugh like this for a long time.
Two years, three years⦠No, it had been five years, he never heard her hearty laughter again.
Actually, Savanna was a cheerful girl.
On the night of their wedding, she was shy and enthusiastic, like a bud that was about to bloom. But at that time, he was so obsessed with Winnie tha Brandon now realized that he had missed so much.
Savanna finished dinner, went to Mandelâs bedroom, and coaxed him to sleep.
After that, she went downstairs. She met Jim at the door.
When Jim saw her, he put on a long face.
Savanna greeted Jim and directly walked out of the door. She had barely taken a few steps when Jim stopped her by saying, âMs. Thompson.â
Savanna stopped and turned around.
Jim was in a bad mood and did not want to hide it. He said, âStay away from Leo. This time, his purpose is Savanna raised her eyebrows and asked, âDid Brandon ask you to tell me this?â
âNo, thatâs what I wanted to tell you. Mr. Cassel suffered a lot. Even so, he doesnât want to hurt you. Mr. Cassel is under a lot of pressure now, the Dawson familyâ¦â
Before Jim could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Savanna, who said, âYou donât have to tell me this. It has nothing to do with me.â
After these cold words, Savanna left without looking back.
