Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Dalton looked ten years older after Valerie was sent to prison. His hair had gone quite white, became thinner and paler.

This was the first time for Dalton to visit the CEO's office of the Sterling group. He was too nervous to look directly at the man behind the desk.

"M-Mr. Sterling, what do you want to see me about?" He stammered.

Dylan took out the prepared check, passing it along with the desk towards Dalton. "Is it enough to buy Schultz's factory?"

Recovering from his first stupefaction, Dalton took the check from the desk and looked at the figure on it. It was more than enough to buy the factory!

Dalton was quite clear of the value of Schultz's factory. He was not as good at business as his brother, and he was not able to manage the factory well. In fact, since he took over the factory, the profit had been declining. He had long had it in his mind to sell the factory, but there was no buyer who could offer a good price. It was a pleasing surprise for him if Mr. Sterling could buy it at such a good price.

He was about to agree when he suddenly thought of something. Why did Mr. Sterling want to buy his factory? It seemed that he was eager to buy the factory. Was it for Savannah?

Oh, maybe he should look at that girl with new eyes. She just charmed the very soul out of Mr. Sterling, who would even like to buy the Schultz's factory for her!

Well, it was a good chance to sell the factory at a good profit!

"Mr. Sterling, since my daughter went to prison, my wife and I have been counting on this factory for the rest of our lives. We have nothing but this factory now…" He wanted more.

Dylan sneered. He knew Dalton noticed his determination in the factory and deliberately asked for a high price.

There were dozens of ways to let Dalton give the factory to Savannah without costing a dollar, but he didn't want things to get to that point. He would like to buy the factory at a high price not because he was really kind, but because the middle-aged man was Savannah's uncle, and he had brought up Savannah since her parents left. What's more, he didn't want to get into a fight that might involve the little woman. Savannah certainly didn't want to fight with her last family in the court again.

So, he planned to buy the factory with money.

If all the Schultz had to live like beaten dogs, Savannah herself would also be looked down upon by outsiders. Well, just leave the useless uncle for her.

For the sake of the little woman, Dalton's fate would not be too tragic.

"When Savannah's father was still there, the factor ran well," Dylan said, rapping on the desk. "I dare to say, under your management, it'll go bankrupt in five years. Take the money, and you don't need to worry about the rest of your life. Otherwise, I promise you'll end up with nothing."

Dalton waved at this, but he was still unreconciled, "but..."

Dylan did not bother to talk to him. He wrote a number in his checkbook and tore it off, pushing it over, "plus this."

Dalton looked at the figures, taking a breath. Without hesitation, he stuffed the two checks into his pocket. "Done! I'll send the stock certificate and related documents to you soon!"

"From now on, you have nothing to do with this factory. You are not allowed to come back." Dylan said coldly.

"Sure!" Dalton promised at once, turned, and left. With this money, he would not bother to care about the factory anymore.

Garwood looked at Dylan as the door was closed. He thought that Mr. Sterling was getting impatient when Miss Schultz showed no interest in the gifts, but he was wrong.

Mr. Sterling didn't give up. He even bought her father's factory for her.

Just then, there was a knock. The secretary sent Dalton away and returned, "Mr. Sterling."

"As soon as Schultz delivered the deed of factory land and the share certificate, arrange the notarization to transfer the ownership," Dylan commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Sterling."

"How about the house in Green Lake?" Dylan continued.

The house in Green Lake? Garwood was surprised. He knew it was an old residential district. Why did Mr. Sterling mention that district?

The secretary replied, "the owner of that house doesn't want to sell it. I offered three times the price as you told, and the owner finally agreed."

Garwood opened his eyes wide. Mr. Sterling bought the house in that district at three times the price? That was a big deal!

Although Green Lake was situated in very pleasant surroundings, its houses were really old. Was it worth that price?

"Keep after it." Dylan was obviously satisfied.

"Yes." The secretary turned and left.

***

The Sterling's house.

In the afternoon, Savannah was eating fruits in the living room when the telephone rang.

A maid answered the phone and then walked to Savannah, "Miss Schultz, Mr. Garwood will pick you up in ten minutes. Please get ready."

Savannah wrinkled her brows, "where to go?"

It must be Dylan's command. What did the man want to do? He had sent her flowers and made her the focus of the modeling circle, and he must be annoyed at her cool response. What did he want to do this time?

"I don't know, but he said that you must go in person. It won't take long." The maid answered politely.

Savannah swallowed her unwillingness. Well, just see what he wanted to do again.

Soon, she heard the car outside the door.

Garwood came to her. "Miss Schultz, please."

Savannah looked out of the window and felt relief when she didn't see Dylan.

"Don't worry, Miss Schultz," Garwood sighed and said, "Mr. Sterling won't go with us."

Savannah did not say a word. She left the house with Garwood and got in the car. Well, she didn't care where they went.

Half an hour later, the car stopped.

"Notary? What are we doing here?" Savannah got off the car and frowned when she saw the building in front of them.

"Just come with me." Garwood led her in.

As soon as Savannah went into the lobby of the notary office, she saw a familiar figure standing at an officer.

That was her uncle.
