Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

On the other side stood several servants and a driver.

Old Sterling rose from the sofa when he saw her coming down the stairs.

"Savannah," he closed his eyes a second and took a deep breath before he continued, "I asked them to have your luggage packed, including your carry-on clothes and daily necessities. You can see what else you need to take away, and I'll ask them to bring it down for you. In the afternoon, the driver will pick Kaiden up at the kindergarten and take him directly to you."

Savannah awoke from her surprise with a bleak smile.

"Sir, are you kicking me out?" She asked quietly.

She knew Old Sterling was acting for her good. He just didn't want to waste her time, but she couldn't accept it.

Old Sterling sighed and took a couple of steps toward her.

"Savannah, you're wasting your youth here. I really can't explain it to your grandfather and mother. You must leave. You'll have a great future and a bright life outside this door."

"I'm not leaving." Savannah's eyes turned red.

Old Sterling was so determined that to make her leave, he had to stress his words.

"This is Sterling's house! Not your home! Don't forget, you and Dylan have nothing to do with each other right now. You don't deserve to live here! You must go!"

His remarks were quite shocking and hard.

The air froze. Cooper and the servants present all gasped, not expecting such cruel words from Old Sterling.

Savannah, however, wasn't frightened by the force of his approach.

"Sir, I know you said that for my good, but I'm not leaving. If you don't let me live in your house, I can live in a workmen's room, or I'll rent a room near the house... Just let me see him every day and take care of him."

Old Sterling felt his tear ducts burning and could barely restrain himself from changing his mind. He steeled his heart, looking at her with a cool, sarcastic smile.

"Take care of him? Thank you, Miss Schultz. But I don't need you to take care of my son. I just beg you to stay away from him. If it hadn't been for you, how could he be in this state?"

That was too much.

Savannah turned pale. Her blood was chilled by his last remark.

That was right. If it hadn't been for saving her, for taking a bullet for her, how could he be lying in bed in a vegetative state?

She was the cause of all his tribulations.

"You're his femme fatale." Old Sterling concluded, gazing at Savannah coolly. "Miss Schultz, I have had three children in my life, but now I have only one son left. Please let him go and don't harm him anymore, okay?"

Savannah quivered slightly as she took one step backward.

She was his femme fatale?

Her appearance brought him so many troubles!

His life would be more peaceful without her.

She'd better leave him...

"Cooper!" Old Sterling called out.

Cooper, receiving his master's instructions, picked up the suitcase and reached out to Savannah. "Miss Schultz, please."

Savannah followed Cooper in a trance toward the gate, followed by some servants picking a suitcase for her. Before she left the house, she stopped, looking back upstairs in the direction where Dylan lived.

Joanne was a little angry at Old Sterling when she learned that her daughter was sent away. But then she realized that he did that only for the sake of her daughter. She called and talked with her every day for fear that Savannah would be too depressed.

On the evening of Savannah's return, Kaiden was also picked up by the driver from the kindergarten and brought directly to Green Bay.

Although it was strange, Kaiden seemed to realize something and lived in Green Bay obediently without asking any questions.

Savannah went back to Sterling's house every day to see Dylan, but the servants were clearly instructed by Old Sterling to stop her at the door every time.

Savannah never had a chance to see Dylan. After several visits, she was aware of old Sterling's firm intention, so she didn't try again.

Every Friday, Old Sterling would send Louis to pick up Kaiden to spend the weekend with him.

Dylan was not yet conscious.

Joanne was worried about her daughter. Raymond also wanted Savannah to take over the Morton group as soon as possible. They asked Savannah to take Kaiden to Chicago, but Savannah said that she could not let go of K&G.

She stayed in K&G every day.

Joanne knew Savannah couldn't give up Dylan.

She was not there in body, but all her mind was still on Dylan.

When they had dinner together this evening, Joanne suggested Savannah close K&G so she could go to Chicago with no care in LA.

"I put my blood into K&G, and I've got a new design I'm working on. I can't close it now." Savannah mumbled as her hand trembled a little with the fork.

Just excuses.

"You can finish your new design before you close the company," Joanne responded with a soft smile, "We won't push you."

Savannah was silent, knowing that her mother and grandfather wanted her to leave LA and start a new life quickly.

But was it possible to live a happy new life without that man?

The thought of a new life without him tugged at her heartstrings.

Looking up, she saw Joanne's gaunt face.

Her mother had been worried about her, and her grandfather had been looking forward to her going back to Chicago.

They loved her and cared about her, but she let them down again and again. It was only right for her to be filial to them.

She had never considered their mood.

She could be there for the man who might never come out from that state without regret, but she could not ignore the worries and anxieties of her mother and grandfather.

And Old Sterling. He acted as a bad person and drove her away, only hoping that she could go out of the haze to welcome the new life.

She took a deep breath.

"Mom. Let me think about it, okay?"
