Chapter 196
That night, not long after Gordon drove out of the Night nightclub, a car rushed over from the left lane 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 black 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 Villas, Savanna had just come back from the company.
Leo looked at her and hesitated.
Savanna smiled. Ever since Leo rejected her last 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 you.”
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 person he loved. He was unwilling to hurt either of them. However, he had to make a choice.
Savanna poured a glass 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 flashed in her eyes. The wine in the glass was poured into her throat. Then the glass fell from Savanna‘s hand.
Bang.
The glass 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 little 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 accept Savanna‘s words. His Adam‘s apple bobbed and he said with emotion, “You‘ve misunderstood Gordon. He wanted to help you. 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 table last night? They said that 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 childhood. I took the blame for Gordon‘s cruelty. I paid with my reputation I built with hard work.”
Thinking of how Mandel and Brandon suffered in Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia.” Leo could not describe his feelings. He was 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 Philadelphia.” Although Leo was now a killer, he was not heartless. He loved Savanna, so his feelings were affected by Savanna.
