Chapter 87
Brandon asked, âBut how? Pull out her hair or abort her child?â
Giselle shivered with shock. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and asked, âDid she tell you that?â
Brandon smiled bitterly. âMom, she didnât tell me, but I have eyes. Itâs better to deal with Winnie by myself. I donât want you to get involved.â
Giselle wanted to say something, but Brandon no longer patd attention to her. Instead, he directly pushed open the door and entered.
Giselle looked at the closed door. She was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched, and her body trembled.
Inside the room, Savanna held Mandelâs small hand and kissed it. Her gaze had been fixed on Mandelâs rosy cheeks. It was unknown if she had heard the door open or if she knew that Brandon had come in.
Brandon looked at Savannaâs lonely back and took a deep breath. He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards her.
Seeing that Savanna ignored him, Brandon picked the chair opposite her and sat down. He wanted to smoke to ease his depressed mood. When his fingers touched the cigarette box, he glanced at his son on the bed and retracted his hand.
It was silent and depressing. No one spoke. Only Mandelâs even breathing could be heard.
âLet me take Mandel away.â
Savannaâs soft voice contained a determination to win.
Savanna wasnât negotiating but telling Brandon her decision.
Brandon was silent. When he got up and went to the balcony, the corner of the chair touched the ground and made a loud noise. Mandel, who was on the bed, trembled slightly.
After a while, Brandon came in from the balcony. His body was full of the smell of cigarettes. Savanna stood up and opened the window. The smell gradually drifted away.
Savanna did not even look at Brandon. Brandon felt her indifference, and he became more and more agitated. Brandon had just smoked a cigarette. So, his voice was hoarse as he said slowly, âSavanna, Winnie is pitiful. She ⦠has nothing nowâ¦â
Brandon hadnât finished speaking when Savanna interrupted him.
âWinnie has nothing, Is it my fault?â
Savanna questioned with much strength,
Brandon explained, âOf course not, but Winnie is your cousin. You grew up together, so you should Brandon explained, âOf course not, but Winnie is your cousin. You grew up together, so you should have feelings for each other.â
Savanna did not look up, her gaze fixing on Mandelâs face. âWhat do you want to say?â
âMy mother wonât let Winnie go. If we donât help her, she will die.â
What Brandon said pierced through Savannaâs heart like a sharp arrow.
Savanna gave a bitter smile. âDonât get me involved. Itâs your business if you want to help Winnie. Today, Iâll make myself clear. Even if Winnie dies, she deserves it.â
Brandon felt uncomfortable when Savanna drew the boundary line between them so clearly. He said in a soft voice, âLet Winnie stay in the Rose Villas for a while. After the critical period, I will send her out, okay?â
It was obvious that Brandon had given in. He had never begged anyone.

Savanna was indifferent to Brandonâs begging. Savanna could not wait to stay away from these dangerous people.
She did not want to see Winnie or Tracy.
âBrandon, do whatever you want. I just want to take Mandel away.â

Savanna was stubborn, and there was no room for negotiation. The smile on Brandonâs lips gradually froze, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.

âYou canât take Mandel away.â
âAlright, then letâs meet in court.â
Savanna sounded so hard and stubborn.
Brandon lost his confidence and passed by her. He slammed the door shut. Due to the sound, Mandelâs body trembled again.
Savanna quickly bent to appease Mandel.
In the evening, Mandel woke up. Savanna picked him up and teased him. Her eyes were shining.
Savanna was interested in nothing except for Mandel. After packing Mandelâs luggage, she carried the luggage in one hand and Mandel in the other. Just as she was about to walk out of the hall of the mansion, Jim stepped forward and said respectfully, âMs. Thompson, give the luggage to me.â
Jim was about to take the luggage in Savannaâs hands,
Savanna did not move. She did not let go, and Jim could not snatch the luggage bag from her hand.

mansion, Jim stepped forward and said respectfully, âMs. Thompson, give the luggage to me.â
Jim was about to take the luggage in Savannaâs hands.
Savanna did not move. She did not let go, and Jim could not snatch the luggage bag from her hand.
Jim looked at her and frowned. âMs. Thompson, Mr. Casselasked me to send you and Mandel back
to the Rose Villas. Mr. Cassel said that he would go back at night.â
Savanna lowered his eyes and passed by Jim. She coldly refused. âWeâre not going back to the Rose Villas but the Thompsonâs home. If you want to send us back, please send us back to the Thompsonâs home.â
Giselle heard from the servant that Savanna carried Mandel down and ran out of the room. Savanna
heard the hurried footsteps and turned back. She met Giselleâs panicked eyes. Savanna did not
speak and just looked at Giselle coldly. Giselle compromised. After all, the Cassel family was in the wrong, and what Winnie did had been exposed. Giselle knew that Savanna had thousands of reasons to take Mandel away. Savanna could claim that it was not safe for Mandel to stay in the Casselâs
house.
Therefore, Giselle was extremely helpless. She called out softly, âSavanna.â
Then, Giselle walked over and stroked Mandelâs head, feeling uncomfortable. If Mandel was taken
away, she would have fewer chances to see her grandson.
Giselle liked Mandel a lot.
When Savanna saw that Giselle didnât fight for Mandel with her, she replied softly, âMrs. Cassel, tell Avery that I have taken Mandel away. When I have time, I will bring Mandel back to visit him.â
âYes.â
Giselle had nothing to retort and could only nod sadly.
Thinking of the situation caused by Winnie, Giselle felt a little disappointed with Brandon. âActually, itâs not that Brandon doesnât like you. Perhaps he feels guilty!â

At noon, Winnie was picked up by Brandon. No one knew where they went. Debbie later told Savanna about it, but Savanna did not respond to it.
Giselle defended her son.
Savanna didnât answer. She turned around and carried Mandel to get into the car Jim drove over.
The car would not head for the Thompsonâs home. This was within Savannaâs expectations. As soon as the car stopped at the entrance of the Rose Villas, Savanna asked Justin to pick her up. When Jim heard her call, his heart thumped. âMs. Thompson, stay here for the time being. Donât get into
Savanna ignored Jim and refused to enter the mansion with Mandel in her arms. Even if Jim took
Mandelâs luggage in, she didnât move.
Soon, Justin drove over. Regardless of Jimâs persuasion and obstruction, Savanna carried Mandel directly into the car.
Watching Justin drive away, Jim called Brandon in distress. âMr. Cassel, Ms. Thompson took Mandel away. I couldnât stop her. I was afraid of hurting Mandel.â
Brandon, who was on the other end of the line, did not speak. He only bit the cigarette on his lower Tip heavily. After a while, he hung up.
Jimâs eyelids kept fluttering. He could almost see Brandonâs cold face. It was estimated that today would not be a good day for the high-ups of the Cassel Group.
In the evening, a piece of news was released on social media platforms. Claire died in prison. It was uncertain whether she was killed or committed suicide.
