Chapter 181
It started to rain halfway,
Savanna turned on the windshield wipers, but she still couldn‘t see the road clearly.
Savanna vaguely saw a man standing in the rain. His affectionate gaze pierced through the rain curtain and fixed on her.
Savanna felt uneasy. She stopped the car at the side of the road. The man was Leo, and she got out of the car with an umbrella.
“Leo,” Savanna shouted.
Leo stared at Savanna and smiled. The rain silently flowed over the scar at the corner of his eyes. Savanna didn‘t find it ugly. Instead, her heart was beating fast for him.
“Savanna.” Leo reached out and hugged Savanna tightly. He breathed in the fragrance of her hair. Only this fragrance could remind Leo that he was alive. After all, he almost died.
Savanna stood on tiptoe and raised her umbrella for Leo. But Leo was too tall. The upper half of the umbrella was tilted. The rain falling from the umbrella drenched Leo‘s back.
Leo didn‘t mind it. He stared at Savanna for a moment before taking the umbrella from her.
Savanna looked up at the foggy sky. She turned to Leo and said, “Get in the car quickly.”
After they got into the car, Savanna asked, “Why didn‘t you tell me as soon as you came back?”
Leo turned to look at the pouring rain outside the car. “I won‘t leave again, so I didn‘t tell you.”
Five years ago, Leo escaped New York and settled down in Detroit. He thought of a way to contact Savanna. When Leo heard that Savanna was in prison, he asked Lucas to help her out.
Lucas did as he was told. Leo was grateful.
But...
Savanna thought of Brandon. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Alright, what about Jessica?”
Jessica was Leo‘s only sister. Jessica had been in poor health since she was young, and Leo cherished her very much.
Thinking of Jessica, Leo‘s face darkened. “She is in her hometown.”
“When you are done with your work, take me to visit her,” Savanna suggested.
“Alright,” Leo replied reluctantly in a low voice.
Savanna was immersed in the surprise of Leo‘s return, and she completely ignored Leo‘s strange reply.
Savanna drove the car to the Cassel Group and asked Leo to wait in the car. Then she got out of the car and entered the building.
Savanna thought that the front desk wouldn‘t let her in. Unexpectedly, just as Savanna told the front desk lady her name, the lady smiled at Savanna and said, “Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cassel is upstairs. Please follow me.”
Savanna took the elevator to the top floor.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she ran into Jim. Jim was a little surprised. He glanced at the president‘s office next door and said to her, “Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cassel is waiting for you.”
Savanna nodded slightly. “Thank you.”
She knocked on the door and heard Brandon’s reply. “Come in.”
Two higher–ups of the Cassel Group were discussing something with Brandon. When they saw Savanna, they stopped their conversation. Brandon gestured for them to leave, and the two quickly left.
The office was so silent that Brandon and Savanna could hear each other‘s heartbeats.
“What‘s the matter?”
Brandon still remembered what Savanna had told him yesterday morning.
His face was cold, and he didn‘t even look up as he stared at the notebook before him.
Savanna walked over and got straight to the point. “Ben said that you bought the Thompson Group and hired Dave as the manager.”
“Brandon, tell me, is what Ben said true?”
Savanna covered her chest and tried to control her emotions. “Since you have injured me so badly, why do you have to do this for me?”
