Chapter 329 What If We Make a Deal?

Savannah stayed frozen for a long time. She never thought Denton would trust her so much. Before this, he had always been careful around her.

“I grew up in a countryside far from the city. My parents never showed me any love. All this time, you’ve been by my side, helping me out, even buying me a villa and standing up for me. I really appreciate it, and I trust you completely. To me, you’re like family now. Ernest has worked for the Lincolns for years and was Grandpa’s most trusted man. That’s why I’m willing to trust you,” Denton said sincerely.

Savannah nodded, but inside she felt that Denton was still like a kid who had just turned 18. He grew up in the countryside, so he really didn’t have much experience or tricks. If someone treated him nicely, he’d give them his full heart.

She said, “Alright. I’ll try to reach some of the company’s old executives. For Mr. Lincoln’s sake, they’ll help you get real authority in Lincoln Group. School hasn’t started yet, right? Come with me tomorrow to meet some people.”

Denton nodded seriously.

He wanted to see which of the top executives in the Lincoln Group were already on Savannah’s side.

His eyes darkened, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

Once he got the power, Savannah wouldn’t matter anymore.

But Savannah had her own thoughts, too. On one hand, she thought Denton was still young and wouldn’t make big moves yet. On the other hand, she was cautious.

She secretly contacted Lily, telling her to hurry to Harborton.

She needed to find something on Denton quickly so she could feel safe helping him gain power.

What Savannah didn’t know was that Denton wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

Haldoria.

Before Lily could hear from Savannah, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose and dragged her into a warehouse.

When she woke up, a man wearing a baseball cap and mask was pointing a camcorder at her.

Lily stared at him in fear, her voice breaking. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I messed up! Please give me one more chance… I’ll finish the job.”

The man said quietly, “Savannah already gave you so many chances. Have you developed real feelings for Denton? Is that why you couldn’t do it?”

Lily shook her head again and again, crying hard. “I’m sorry. Please ask Savannah to give me one more

Honestly, Curtis could be pretty ruthless.

Only if everyone thought

But what else could he do? His wife was pregnant. A pregnant woman needed someone to protect her.

“Denton’s still young. I hope he can resist temptation and not get tricked,” Adriana said with a sigh.

“If he can’t even survive something this simple, how is he supposed to run Lincoln Group?” Curtis said calmly.

Still, Adriana noticed a hint of helplessness and worry in his voice.

At least Denton had his older brother watching over him–protecting him and warning him ahead of time.

Curtis had to fight alone back then, one hard step at a time.

Those people liked using traps with women–cheap, but effective. They even tried it on Curtis before, but he had seen right through it.

“Ernest seems suspicious,” Adriana said, looking up at Curtis.

“Yeah, no need to poke the bear just yet,” Curtis replied. He already knew Ernest’s problem. To handle him, Curtis had to work through Denton.

Adriana understood now. If she could figure it out, Curtis surely had already thought of it and made a plan.

At a villa in Haldoria.

Denton was packing his things in his room when Lily walked in wearing only a bathrobe.

She had to get close to him physically before he left.

That was the task Savannah had given her.

“Denton, when you go abroad, can I come with you?” Lily’s voice trembled. “I don’t want to be away from you.”

Denton looked at her seriously. “I’m going to study. It’s not a good idea to bring you. You wouldn’t get a

visa either.”

He was as straight–laced as ever.

Lily froze. She really couldn’t get a visa.

“Denton, I’m always thankful to you. And you like me too, right? Before you leave… can we… together?” She wrapped her arms around him from behind as she spoke.

Denton pulled out a disease test kit from the drawer. “Yolanda said before doing that, we both need to check for infectious diseases. That way, you can feel safe, and I’d be responsible.”

Lily stiffened, then flinched and let go, her face turning pale. “Denton, we don’t… need that, right? I trust

you, we…”

Denton was firm. “No. I have to be responsible.”

He opened the kit, pricked his finger, and ran the test.

Once he saw he was clear, he handed her the other kit. “Your turn?”

Lily’s face had gone pale. She held the test kit, hesitating for a long moment. “Denton, I’m not feeling well all of a sudden. Let’s do it another day…”

Then she ran away.

Denton’s expression turned cold. If she was that scared of a simple test, it was clear that Savannah’s plan was to use a woman to ruin him.

That was cruel.

If they wanted to play dirty, he wouldn’t go easy either.

Before leaving the country, Denton stopped by the Lincoln Estate.

“Denton, why didn’t you go with Lily? I heard you two are dating?” Savannah greeted him with a smile.

Denton nodded. “She’s a good person, but her situation is complicated. She can’t get a visa, so I can’t take her with me. I’ll come back to visit her often.”

Savannah’s smile wavered for a moment, then returned. “Since you’re dating, you should stick together. Want me to help get her a visa?”

Denton looked at her seriously. “If the relationship is strong, distance won’t break it. If we can’t wait two years, then we’re not meant to be.”

For some reason, Savannah felt his tone was cold today, but she didn’t push. “Okay, we’ll do it your way.”

She wouldn’t press too hard yet. She planned to find a way to send Lily abroad to see Denton. After being apart for a long time, their connection would flare up. And if Denton caught HIV, she could completely

control him.

Then she could use it to blackmail him and take control of the Lincoln Group.

“Savannah, I don’t really have power in the company. The executives are all my brother’s old team. How
