Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Savannah frowned and looked away. Though she knew she would meet Susan again when she came here today, she couldn't keep her mood jolly.

Since the incident at the press conference, she had come to despise this bullying rich woman more than any other day.

She could only avoid speaking to her tonight.

Susan was not happy to see Savannah coming too, and she felt even more annoyed when she found that Savannah didn't even look her in the eye.

She couldn't understand why her father took this little bitch seriously. He even invited her to dinner to apologize!

Why should they need to give Savannah a face?

Now, this bitch turned too cocky that she even had the impudence to look through her!

The thought of her poor son lying in bed with the terrible disease set Susan's blood on fire. Especially when she considered the fact that Devin would never have his own children, she was aroused by the urge to kill Savannah!

"Savannah, here!" Old Sterling was very happy to see Savannah coming.

Dylan released his arm and gave Savannah a soft nudge.

Savannah cleverly walked up to old Sterling, "Nice to see you, sir."

"Come and sit next to me." Old Sterling glanced at Susan, motioning her to make room for Savannah.

Susan clenched her teeth with rage. Why should she offer her place to Savannah?!

Isn't old Sterling's daughter more important than an orphan girl? How could Savannah, a nobody in the Sterling's family, be liked and cared for by her father and Dylan? If Savannah is lucky enough to marry into the Sterling's family, wouldn't she take everything from her and Devin?

With an effort, Susan restrained herself, got up, and went to the opposite sofa.

Savannah sat next to old Sterling.

"Are you still blaming me, Savannah?" Old Sterling sighed.

"No, sir." Savannah shook her head.

"Really?"

"Sir, I'm not angry." Savannah said seriously, "anybody would misunderstand me in that case. Fortunately, the misunderstanding had been ironed out."

"Good, good. I know you are a good girl." A smile appeared on old Sterling's face.

Susan snorted inwardly. This bitch is really a clever speaker, no wonder dad likes her.

Though very uncomfortable, Savannah assumed ignorance under Susan's cold glare.

Since Old Sterling lost his great-grandson, he had been too unwell to sit for a long time. After chatting with Savannah for a while, he rose unsteadily to his feet and moved upstairs to take some medicine.

Savannah gave Dylan a gentle nudge, motioning him to take care of old Sterling.

A slightly anxious look appeared on Dylan's face. He hesitated before he eventually whispered to Savannah, "can you be left alone here?"

Savannah knew he was afraid that Susan might come up against her again.

"Of course," Savannah shrugged, "I'm not a three-year-old baby."

Dylan got up and strode over to his dad.

Seeing Dylan helping old Sterling up, Savannah felt a small sense of achievement and sighed with relief.

In fact, there was no profound hatred between the father and the son.

The only breach between them was Dylan's brother's death.

But time could fix everything.

Now things have turned around, right? At least Dylan was willing to go back to the Sterling's house for dinner.

One day, Dylan would put aside the grudge and make up with his father.

"In flattery, you have a marvelous touch," Susan jeered, "no wonder you come from a small family, you are good at playing low tricks to win the hearts of men. The daughters from noble families are really not in the same class as you."

Since her father and her brother were not present, Susan needed not to keep back the touches of sarcasm that constantly rose to her tongue.

Looking at the hard, angry lines on Susan's face, Savannah did not appear to resent at all. She just felt that Susan was really to be pitied.

She wondered how Susan would react if she was aware of the hidden danger behind her glamorous and happy life.

Tired of facing Susan, Savannah got up and walked out of the villa into the garden.

"This bitch!" Susan bit her teeth in anger to see Savannah ignore her again.

"Forget it," Henley said, "dad and Dylan are both upstairs. They might hear you..."

Henley's words added to Susan's anger. "This is the Sterling's house, and old Sterling is my father! She's just a stranger. Why should I be afraid of her? She's not welcome! How shameless!" Susan spit out the curse from between her teeth.

"What are you doing? You want Dylan to hear you? Stop that!"

Susan gritted her teeth, remembering Dylan's fierce words at the hotel that day. She dared not go on terribly, but she must hit back. Then she went out of the villa.

***

The night was already pressing in when Savannah went into the garden. The lights along the path had come on, giving the whole garden a warm glow.

Savannah walked slowly down the flower path, enjoying the pleasant evening breeze and the flowers in the garden.

The Sterling's house was worthy of being the house of the most distinguished family in LA. Rare flowering plants in blue, white, red, and purple were growing in the garden. There were also many exotic flowers and rare herbs from abroad.

Under the careful pruning by the gardener, the garden was almost a plant kingdom.

Besides the open-air garden, there was also a glass room for cultivating precious flowers.

Savannah had intended to avoid Susan's buzzing in her ear, but now she indulges herself in the garden.

After strolling for a while, Savannah turned around to go back.

After a few steps, Susan appeared in front of her.

What the hell did Susan want to do? Savannah frowned. She deliberately followed her to the garden to curse her?

Susan walked leisurely to her with folded arms, sneering, "you looked as if you've never seen such a beautiful garden. Tut, Dylan must seldom take you out, or he's never taken you to see such great things. Well, I thought, Dylan liked you. But you are just a pet for him! Oh no, pets can go out and play, while Dylan has never given you a name at all! I really worry about your end!"

Savannah clenched her fist, angry but amused.

She had tried to bear Susan's attack when the last time she sent Lily to darken her good name. She also let it go when she gave sarcastic remarks just now.

But Susan wavered in hunting down her.

With a sarcastic smile on her lips, Savannah looked at Susan, "You don't have to worry about my business. If I were you, I would care more about myself."

Susan's marriage was in danger, and her husband might run away at any time. Did she still have time to mind others' business?

With that, she bypassed Susan and headed for the house.

Susan didn't know what she meant by that, and she thought Savannah just frightened her. Chasing after Savannah, Susan held out her hand to pull Savannah's hair!
