Chapter 196
That night, not long after Gordon drove out of the
Night nightclub, a car rushed over from the leftne and knocked Gordon‘s car off the track.
Gordon
suffered a concussion after that. Fortunately, he survived, but the culprit escaped, whose car was said to
be an illegal car without insurance. The car was bought from the ck
market. The police did not find any clues. It could be seen that it was a deliberate conspiracy.
Gordon was furious. He asked Leo to find the truth. Leo pretended
to agree, but he did not know what to do.
When Leo came to the Rose Vis, Savanna had juste back from thepany.
Leo looked at her and hesitated.
Savanna smiled. Ever since Leo rejected herst night, she did not
want to reveal her true feelings in front of him.
“Mr. Baker, what‘s the matter?” Savanna raised her eyebrows and asked coldly.
Leo couldn‘t stand Savanna‘s cold tone and distant attitude. He swallowed his saliva. “Savanna, don‘t
be like this. With my friendship with Gordon, I cannot do that.”
“I told you not to call me that.” Savanna did not give Leo any leeway. “We are not that intimate.”
“Savanna.” Leo said anxiously, “Gordon asked me to find out the culprit who hit him, so I came to find yo
u.”
Savanna smiled wider. “Leo, do you have evidence? If you do, you can handcuff me.”
Leo fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, “Savanna, if you do this, I‘ll be in a dilemma.”
It
was obvious that Leo had fallen into a dilemma. Gordon was his best friend, while Savanna was the pers
on he loved. He was unwilling to hurt either of them. However, he had to make a choice.
Savanna poured a ss of wine, lowered her head, and took a sip of the wine. The spiciness entered
her throat and reached straight to her heart. “Leo, you are really loyal to Gordon. Perhaps one day, you
will feel that everything you have done is not worth it.”
Savanna‘s words were meaningful. Leo frowned deeply. “What do you mean?”
“I don‘t mean anything. I just feel that you are too loyal to Gordon. He
had offended Brandon for me so that he was put in prison. Are you guilty about that?”
Leo was stunned. Obviously, Savanna hit the nail on the head.
Savanna raised her head and stared at Leo. A fierce light shed in her eyes. The wine in the ss was
poured into her throat. Then the ss fell from Savanna‘s hand.
Bang.
The ss shattered on the ground.
Shards flew everywhere. Some of them hit the corner of Leo‘s eyes. Leo felt pain, but
he did not move. He
looked straight at Savanna. There was blood seeping out of the corner of his eyes, making his face a littl
e ferocious.
“As far as I know, Gordon is not as good as you think.” She could only remind him like
that.
However, Leo could not ept Savanna‘s words.
His Adam‘s apple bobbed and he said with emotion, “You‘ve misunderstood Gordon. He wanted to help y
ou. Savanna. You can‘t…”
Savanna interrupted Leo, “I can‘t bite the hand that feeds me, right?“.
“Leo, do you know what the celebrities in the city said about me at the dinner tablest night? They said t
hat I took down Brandon, and I took down the Cassel Group. Others don’t know, but you know the best.
Who took down the Cassel family? Didn‘t you collude with Gordon to make Brandon lose everything?”
Savanna asked bitterly. She clutched her chest. “Because of me, Brandon wanted to get rid of you, but I
asked Jim. Jim said that Brandon
only ordered people to drive you out of New York. In the past five years, he did not send anyone to make
things difficult for you or kill you. Yes, I am the cause. I paid for everything with my child‘s unfortunate chil
dhood. I took the me for Gordon‘s cruelty. I paid with my reputation I built with hard work.”
Thinking of how Mandel and Brandon suffered in
Phdelphia, Savanna felt her heart ached. She wasn‘t in the mood to do everything.
“To sum
up, you still feel sorry for Brandon‘s suffering in Phdelphia.” Leo could not describe his feelings. He wa
s shocked by what Savanna said. He was also sad that Savanna still loved Brandon.
–
Savanna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She pursed her lips and smiled. “I don‘t feel sorry
for Brandon, but I feel sorry for my child. I
can‘t see the child I gave birth to. I can‘t watch him grow up. Leo, I have missed five years of his growth.”
“If you really feel sorry for him, I can get
someone to bring him back from Phdelphia.” Although Leo was now a killer, he was not heartless. He l
oved Savanna, so his feelings were affected by Savanna.
When Leo saw Savanna in such pain, his heart softened.
When Mandel was mentioned, Savanna‘s tears fell even more, “He would not want to see me.”
Savanna would always remember Mandel‘s words. Even if she was his mother, he
would never recognize her.
Leo was silent.
Savanna looked at Leo in tears. “You don‘t believe in Jim?”
“Before I have evidence, I will not believe anyone. I only believe in my own eyes.”
Leo directly stated his thoughts. Towards Savanna, he felt that he had nothing to hide.
“Alright, I will find the evidence. Leo, just
you wait. You‘ll regret it. In the future, don‘te here in case of being gossiped about.”
Savanna had heard some rumors in thepany today. In
private, the people in the Thompson Group were all spreading rumors about her and Leo.
The scandal spread because Leo
always followed Savanna. Although Leo imed to protect her by doing that, others didn‘t think so and th
ought they had a secret rtionship
“Savanna…”
Savanna pushed Leo out.
With a bang, the
door closed. Leo stood outside the door, at a loss. Lizeth came up and saw Leo‘s nk face. She hurried
ly said, “Mr. Baker, I will put in a good word for you in front of Savanna. You…”
Lizeth nced at the closed door and hesitantly said to Leo, “You should leave.”
Leo moved his numb legs, and it took him a long time to walk out of the Rose Vis.
That night, Justin called Savanna. “Ms. Thompson, Mandel seems to be sick. The news from Phdelphia
had brought Mandel to the hospital more than once.”
Savanna couldn‘t stop her hand from shaking when she heard Justin‘s words. “Book a ne ticket to Phil

Savanna got off the ne and immediately called Brandon. The female voice sounded again and again in
“Sorry, the number you dialed is not active.”
Brandon changed his number.
Savanna asked Justin to investigate. She sat in the car, waiting for news from Justin.
Soon, Justin returned, panting. “Ms. Thompson, I can‘t get through to all of Brandon‘s numbers, and the p

Mandel was ill, but Brandon had disappeared.
Savanna‘s lips trembled and her body trembled. She could ignore Brandon‘s life, but Mandel was her son
“Get someone to find Mandel. We have to find him.”
Savanna regretted it. If she had known this earlier, she would not have let Mandel follow Brandon
At that moment, her heart was filled with resentment towards Brandon.
Justin had sent people to search all
over Phdelphia, but couldn‘t find any news of Brandon and Mandel.
Savanna fell into pain and regret.
After a week
A special bone marrow transnt news was on the headlines, and the child in the photo was … Mandel.
