Chapter 188


    As soon as Savanna went back to the rented house, she saw Ben standing in the rain. If Ben took one m


    ore step


    forward, the eaves could cover the wind and rain above his head. However, he chose to get wet in the rai


    n.


    Ben looked at her. There was resentment, hatred, and more anger in his tear–


    soaked eyes. “Brandon is gone. Are you satisfied now, Savanna?”


    Savanna did not bother to answer Ben and walked past him, but her arm was sped by him. Ben pulled


    her under the eaves, and the droplets of water from the eaves wet their faces.


    Ben looked at her from a close distance. Savanna was not devastatingly beautiful, but Brandon was capti


    vated by her so much that he didn‘t even care about losing the Cassel Group.


    “You are such a hard–hearted woman!” Ben stood up for Brandon. He felt sorry for Brandon.


    Savanna wanted to exin, but it was useless.


    The Cassel Group indeed copsed, and it was ruined because of Brandon‘s trust in her. It was impossib


    le for her to exin it.


    Seeing that Savanna pursed her lips and did not utter a word, Ben was so furious that he smashed his fis


    t against the wall. Blood fell to the ground from his joints together with the rain.


    “I


    never thought that Brandon would fail because of you.” Ben looked away with difficulty. He restrained his


    urge to tear up the woman. “Five years ago, when something happened to the Thompson Group, all the r


    esources that the Thompson Group received were given by the Cassel Group.”


    When


    Ben looked back and saw Savanna‘s indifferent expression, he added, “I know you hate Brandon for bein


    g ruthless back then. You hate him for


    giving you a cold shoulder because of Winnie. At that time, he had not yet fallen for you. Or rather, he did


    not know his feelings clearly. Savanna, five years ago, you were the one who wanted to leave. He wante


    d to save you at all costs. In the end, he only knew you were dead. He was in so much pain that he wish


    ed he were dead. He looked forward to seeing you again as if he had lost his soul. If it weren‘t for


    Mandel, Brandon would have long wanted to die.


    Savanna, do you really hate him so much that you wish he had nothing and wished he could die?”


    Ben‘s words were like a hammer hitting Savanna‘s heart.


    Her heart was shattered into pieces.


    Savanna could no longer tell if the bitter taste in her mouth was tears or rain.


    “Now, he has nothing left. Other than Mandel, he really has nothing left. And it‘s all because of you. If he


    hurt you five years ago, then he has a taste of his own medicine now.”


    Ben was smiling, but he felt an indescribable sadness. He felt sorry for Brandon. “If it weren‘t for you, Bra


    ndon wouldn‘t have offended Gordon. If it weren‘t for you, Leo . wouldn’t have


    betrayed Brandon. Cain, Neil, and Justin, all of these people are closely rted to the bankruptcy case o


    f the Cassel Group. Savanna, you know very well what kind of rtionship these people have with you.”


    Regardless of whether Savanna took action or not, whether she participated or not, Brandon became wh


    at he was today because of Savanna.


    At the very least, Savanna was not only the cause of the disaster but also the source.


    Ben was extremely emotional, as if he wanted to kill Savanna.


    Savanna opened her mouth and asked, “Ben, what you said is not true. Even if I am the source of everyt


    hing and the cause of the disaster, you should not be ruthless.”


    Ben sneered.


    He stroked the wet hair on his forehead, and his eyes shed with coldness. “Did Leo tell you that Brand


    on was the one who wanted to kill him?”


    “Isn‘t it?” Savanna asked.


    “Leo went to Irnd to borrow a ne from Dax. The ne crashed, and it was normal for


    Dax to ask him for money. I sent people to kill Leo, but


    Brandon repeatedly told me that he only wanted to drive Leo away from New York and let him leave you.


    ”


    “Wasn‘t Leo‘s sister Jessica killed by you?” Savanna bit her lips. Leo‘s voice rang in her head over and o


    ver again, “They killed Jessica. She was only eleven years old.”


    Ben looked at Savanna as if he was looking at a monster. A momentter, he let out a sneer in his


    throat, ‘Savanna, in your heart, Brandon is a murderer, right?”


    Savanna was stunned, and she immediately said seriously, “Please answer my question.”


    Ben was mad. He answered irritably, “No.”


    If Ben was not lying, then it was Leo who was lying.


    “I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”


    Seeing that Savanna softened her face, Ben stuffed her into the car and quickly drove to the Night nightc


    lub.


    Savanna said angrily, “Ben, believe it or not, I will call the police.”


    “Your husband is gone. You have to drink with me.” Ben overbearingly pulled Savanna out of the car and


    threw her into a private room in the Night nightclub.


    Savanna was about to leave, but after being forced to drink a few sses of wine by Ben, she was a little


    drunk. In addition, she was in a bad mood. She pulled Ben to sit on the sofa, and the two began to y


    a finger-guessing game.


    That night, Savanna and Ben drank for the whole night. When they left with their messy hair, Ben grabbe


    d Savanna‘s cor and begged, “It was Brandon who drank with me in the past. From now on, you have t


    o drink with me.”


    He had to keep this woman in check for Brandon.


    If it wasst night, Savanna


    would have agreed with Ben, but now she was in a clear state of mind. The hangover gave her a bad he


    adache, which made her ufortable.


    She pushed away Ben‘s hand, got up, and left.


    Ben‘s voice came from behind, “Let‘s meet again tonight.”


    Savanna went to work in the


    Thompson Group. Neil saw that her face was pale and knew that she had spent the night in the Night nig


    htclubst night. Neil quickly made a ss of hangover soup for her.


    Thereafter, Savanna changed. She took the office as her home and buried herself in


    work.


    In order to win the client, she could drink three sses of strong liquor. Every time she went to meet the


    client, she would drink as much as she could. As long as she was alive, she would earn more money.

    The Thompson Group


    developed very quickly. It rapidly turned itself from an unknown smallpany into the top tenpanie


    s in New York.


    Of course, during this period of time, Gordon and Leo helped a lot. Savanna interacted with Leo in a frien


    dly manner.


    Tonight, Ben called Savanna. She didn‘t want toe over, but Ben kept pestering her.


    Savanna failed to refuse Ben. After finishing her work, she went to the private room in the


    Night nightclub. This private room was said to be the ce where Brandon used to


    The table was filled with colorful wine.


    Ben had two women in his arms and drank merrily. Seeing that Savanna had


    come, he patted the two women. The two women nced at Savanna and left obediently.


    Savanna was in a bad


    mood after a filmpany that she had worked with canceled the contract with her.


    Seeing that Savanna was unhappy, Ben brought a ss of wine in front of him to


    Savanna and left a ss for himself.


    The two of them clinked sses and drank the wine at the same time.


    Suddenly, the phone rang. It was a video call.


    Without any scruple, Ben epted it in front of Savanna.


    On the screen, the blurry figure gradually became clear. Brandon‘s well–


    defined face appeared on the phone. Although his clothes were not as exquisite as before, he still looked


    graceful and extraordinary. He was born with an elegant temperament.


    “Brandon.” Ben waved his hand and greeted Brandon.


    Looking at Brandon‘s thin face, Ben felt sorry for him. “Brandon, you‘ve lost weight.”


    Brandon did not speak. He just


    lowered his head and took a puff. His cheeks were deeply sunken. Even though


    he had lost weight, he was still charming.


    “Where are you?” After two seconds of silence, Brandon finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and low, o


    Ben looked at Brandon‘s fingers. His nails had a trace of cement. Seeing this, Ben almost cried.


    Yet, he held back and did not cry, trying to reply in a steady voice, “Your favorite ce in the past.”


    Ben nced at the woman drinking in front of him. Her eyes seemed to have been on his phone since the

    Brandon was not interested in this topic.


    He lowered his head and took another puff of smoke. The smoke immediately blurred his face.


    “Ben, you are almost thirty years old. Find a good girl to settle down with. You can‘t y like this every


    day.”


    Ben smiled, “I am not in love with any girls. There is one here.”


    Ben smiled and pulled Savanna into his arms.


    Brandon nced at the screen, and he immediately looked up again. When he saw who the woman in Be
