But now Devin disclosed the secret without mercy. She felt a sudden chill and began to tremble.
She couldn't imagine that day coming.
How could a man so proud and exalted accept the result of becoming a madman in the eyes of the world?
Devin narrowed his eyes when he saw her trembling.
"What? Do you regret it? It terrifies you to contemplate living with a madman, and you have to be on guard against him to come on at any time, don't you? Oh, well, what if uncle hurts you because of the attack of the mental disease? Never mind, if you want to break up with him, it's not too late--"
Savannah stopped him with a slap in the face!
Devin covered his face and gazed at Savannah in shock and anger.
"I warn you not to call him a madman. I will never regret it.No matter what illness he has, I will marry him, accompany him all my life, and never leave him!" Savannah articulated her words slowly, the palm of her hand stinging because of the slap.
Devin's face went from blue to purple, and jealousy filled his chest.
Knowing Dylan had such a terrible illness, she was still willing to live and die with him.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the jealousy, and said with a sneer, "good! I'll see how long you can stay in love with him!"
"What do you want to do?" Savannah stared at him in alarm.
"If the shareholders and executives of the group know he is a potentially dangerous psychopath, do you think they would still trust him as the CEO? Not even grandpa could keep him at that time!" Devin smiled grimly.
When he learned about the hereditary mental illness in the family, he felt an impulse to expose the matter to the domestic media and let everyone know about that.
But at that time, his grandpa was angry with him, and he didn't dare to annoy him again. He would come to no good even if he could drive his uncle out of the group.
However, after he was called back to LA this time, he had the idea to topple his uncle from his post!
If his uncle was driven out of the company, who else could his grandpa give the group to? Even if grandpa was still mad at him, he had no choice but had to turn over the group to him. Uncle's child was still too young.
"How dare you!" Savannah broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't imagine how Dylan could stand that. "Your grandpa won't let you get away with it easily! And you will come to no good after you go against your uncle in this way!
"Haha, thank you for thinking of me, but rest assured, I don't need to spread the secret out by myself. You will get nothing on me. What's more, when my uncle's future is bound to fail, it's impossible for my grandpa to kill his only grandchild. The most he can do is to give me a sound beating! You know, once my uncle falls, I will be the only man left in the whole family. Oh, you don't think he will choose your half-grown son instead of me, do you?" Devin smirked.
Savannah gritted her teeth and could not restrain herself from giving him another slap but was caught at the wrist by him.
Devin pushed her away with a sneer, and then he strode into the mental home without another word.
Savannah gasped as she watched Devin's vanishing back. She could not help feeling a twinge of panic.
Devin was expelled from the family three years ago and spent three years in Japan. How could he be reconciled to leaving after visiting Susan this time? He wanted to get back what belonged to him.
It was a long time before Savannah collected herself and left the mental home.
She went back to the Sterling's house and told old Sterling about Susan's condition.
Old Sterling looked much better when he learned that Susan was out of danger.
Savannah didn't mention Devin's threats.
She was going to marry Dylan, and Dylan and Devin were constantly competing with each other. Her words couldn't be convincing.
There was no recording when she talked with Devin, and she had no evidence at all.
And most of all, she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and she didn't want Dylan to know he had this genetic disease.
She recalled Dr. Joe said that Dylan would feel burdened if he knew about this genetic disease, and it might come on more easily.
She didn't want the disease to be a strain on him.
After spending some time with old Sterling, Savannah took Kaiden away. She sent him back to Beverly Hills first, and then she went back to Green Bay alone.
On the way, she was wondering how she could get Devin to shut up.
She felt dulled and confused, and she bumped into someone when she entered the living room. Shocked, she looked up and saw Dylan.
"Aren't you on a business trip? Why are you back?" Savannah opened her eyes wide.
"Well, I'm afraid you can't handle it alone." Dylan pressed her into his arms and lowered his head.
Her nose was slightly stung. They had not seen each other for three days only, but she missed him so much as if they had parted for a year. Probably because she felt very uncomfortable after talking with Devin today, she flung her arms around his neck and buried her head in his chest.
Dylan didn't ask anything but stroke her head with his warm hand.
"Your father's very worried about Susan's condition. This morning, I went to the mental home on behalf of him to ask about Susan. She's much better now, and your father's blood pressure had stabilized. Rest assured," she whispered in his arms.
He took her hand up and kissed it.
"Are you tired?" He asked softly.
"No," she shook her head with a smile.
"Good girl," he nuzzled behind her ear.
