Chapter 79
Savanna had a dream. It was a dark and deep alley, and someone in black ran in front while holding Mandel. Savanna couldnât see the face, and she chased after the person in panic. Finally, there was no way ahead, and the person slowly turned back. Though it was dark, with a faint light, she saw the personâs face, which was like Winnieâs.
The woman looked at Savanna with eyes full of resentment. The womanâs rosy lips opened and closed, and she enunciated each word, âSavanna, I lost my child. You must bear the same.â
Winnie angrily threw Mandel to the ground.
Mandel cried loudly, tearing Savannaâs heart apart. Savanna trembled and screamed, âMandel!â
Then Savanna weakly crawled over and picked up Mandel who was on the ground. She reached out, and she felt nothing but sticky bright-red blood on her fingertips.
Savanna woke up, covered in a cold sweat. She then realized that it was a dream. Savanna slowly stabilized her breathing. The scene in the dream was so real. Winnie threw Mandel to the ground.
Savanna got up, walked to the window, and looked at the few stars in the distant starry sky outside
the window. Her heart was still trembling slightly.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed.
The ringtone broke the silence. She turned around and found the phone in the corner of the bed. She
looked down and saw the caller ID. It was Cain.
What did he want? It was already so late.
âHello.â
When Cain heard Savannaâs voice, he muttered, âSavanna⦠Savanna, come and pick me up.â
It was obvious that Cain was drunk. He was wasted.
âCain, you should call Liana. After all, you are a couple.â
Savanna did not want to be the home wrecker, and she also didnât want to ruin Cainâs relationship
with Liana.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Cainâs voice. He could barely pronounce the correct
words. He said, âWe broke up. She never has feelings for me anyway.â
On the day Savanna gave birth, Brandon went to the Nelson Hospital. Savanna was in the ward, and she heard what Cain said to Brandon, Brandon asked Liana to pester Cain to sabotage Savannaâs relationship with Cain. But she had nothing to do with Cain anyway.
Even so, in Savannaâs eyes, Liana had already had sex with Cain. Besides, Liana was pregnant with
âWhat the fuck is that supposed to mean?â
Obviously, Cain wasnât talking to Savanna.
Savanna shouted something over the phone, but Cain didnât respond. Then Savanna heard the
sound of fighting and even fists smashing. Savanna was anxious. âCain, whatâs going on?â
With a thud, the sound of glass shattering rang in Savannaâs ears.
Amidst Savannaâs anxious cries, after a long time, Cain muttered, âSavanna, my head is bleeding. I have to go to the hospital. Talk to you later.â
She didnât give him a chance to hang up the phone. Savanna asked quickly, âGive me the address. Iâll come to you right now.â
Savanna hung up the phone. She immediately found Cainâs number and texted him a question mark.
While she was anxiously waiting, Cain finally sent her his location.
When Savanna arrived at Splendor Restaurant, the fragments of wine bottles and glasses were all over the floor in the hall. The chair and stools were upside down. Savanna looked up and saw Cain, who was being beaten up by several hooligans in the corner. She immediately rushed over. âStop! I called the police. They will be here in any minute.â
The hooligans stopped and turned to glance at Savanna, looking as if they were not afraid of anything.
âHe owes us money. Are you going to pay for him?â
âHow much?â
Savanna asked.
â30 million dollars.â
Hearing that, Savanna gasped and said, âI will sue you for extortion!â
She wouldnât believe that Cain would owe hooligans money.
âGo ahead!â The hooligan curled his lips and looked at Savanna indecently. âWe want the police here to set things right for us. Our boss is waiting for our reply.â
Savanna could tell that those hooligans were hired by someone, which was the reason why they
were so arrogant.
âCain, is that true?â Savanna grabbed Cain from the corner and asked coldly.
Cain wiped the blood from his nose and raised his eyelids lazily. When his blurred eyes fell on Savannaâs beautiful face, he nodded slightly. âI lost some bet recently. And the stock market is not doing well. I kept losing money.â
âAlright.â
Savanna gritted her teeth and said to the hooligans, âGive me a deadline, and Iâll call you when I have the money.â
Seeing that someone was willing to pay for Cain, the hooligan in the lead smiled. âA week. If you donât have the money by then, Iâll send you to the Night nightclub to entertain clients there.â Before leaving, the man kicked Cain again. âBastard. Youâre so lucky to find such a stupid bitch.â
Wasnât a woman stupid to pay off a manâs debts?
The hooligans left. The waiters cleaned up the debris on the ground and put the overturned chairs
back.
Savanna apologized to the waiters. She reached out, helped Cain to the sofa, and took a tissue to wipe the blood off his face. Cainâs injury was not that serious, but it was not minor either.
Savanna wanted to send Cain to the hospital, but Cain didnât want to.

Seeing him sit still, Savanna had to compromise.
Savanna said, âWhy did you set foot in the stock market instead of managing your company?â
Cain did not answer. He lit a cigarette. The white smoke enveloped his handsome, gloomy face.
Seeing him remain silent, Savanna continued, âLiana is pregnant. No matter how you two got together, you should be there for her.â
Cain seemed extremely agitated. He put out the cigarette and was a little impatient. He roared, âDonât mention her.â
Then he was a little regretful after his roaring. He hurriedly apologized to Savanna, âIâm sorry⦠Savanna, she wasnât pregnant at all. She lied to me.â
As if he had thought of something, Cain let out a sneer. He mocked himself, âIâm such a dumbass.â
As he spoke, Cain slapped himself in the face. If it werenât for Liana, he wouldnât have ended up in
such a state.
Savanna was about to comfort Cain when she saw a man and a woman walking in. The woman was Liana, and she was wearing exquisite makeup. And though the man was in a suit, he looked a bit old. He put his arm around Lianaâs waist and whispered something into her ear. Liana chuckled and
clung to the man while saying coquettishly, âYouâre so bad.â
The moment Cain saw Liana, he froze slightly. The cigarette slid down from his fingertips, and his
scarlet eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Suddenly, he was about to get up and walk toward Liana.
Savanna reached out to stop him in time. After Liana and the man entered the elevator and

Savanna reached out to stop him in time. After Liana and the man entered the elevator and disappeared, Savanna let go of Cain and said, âLet her be!â
If Savanna still couldnât figure out what had happened between Cain and Liana, then Savanna would be nothing but a stupid woman, just like the hooligan said.
After Cain had been completely down and out, Liana cheated on him. Back then, Liana pestered Cain day and night, insisting on marrying Cain. Yet now, Liana was like an entirely different person. No man in the world could accept such a huge difference.
Savanna got why Cain was acting insanely.
âIf you love her, you should let her pursue her happiness.â
su
âLove her?â
Savanna snorted coldly.
âShe doesnât deserve my love.â
Tracy and Stephen were having a meal in Splendor Restaurant. Tracy went downstairs to pay the bill and saw Savanna and Cain, who were intimately talking on the sofa. Tracy picked up her phone and took a photo of the two. She typed a few words, saying, âSavanna and her bromeo are so sweet.â
Tracy posted the photo along with the words on Instagram, and she mentioned Brandon especially.
At the same time, Brandon was working overtime in the brightly lit office. Seeing that someone had mentioned him, he took his phone and clicked on Instagram. He ignored Tracyâs words. His attention was all on the photo. The light was a little dim, and Savannaâs side face was damn beautiful. She was holding Cainâs hand, and the two of them were sitting close while talking with each other.
Brandonâs eyes turned cold as he called Savanna.
The phone rang several times before she picked up.
âYes?â Savanna said,
Brandon didnât know what to say. He then found a good excuse. âDebbie said that Mandelâs throat is getting hoarse from crying. Shall you come over and check on him?â
