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.

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‘t come here in case
of being gossiped about.”

Savanna had heard some rumors in the company 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 claimed to protect her by
doing that, others didn‘t think so and thought they had a secret relationship “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
blank face. She hurriedly said, “Mr. Baker, I will put in a good word for you in front of Savanna. You...”

Lizeth glanced 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 Villas.

That night, Justin called Savanna. “Ms. Thompson, Mandel seems to be sick. The news from
Philadelphia said that Brandon 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 plane ticket to
Philadelphia immediately. The sooner the better.”

Savanna smoked a cigarette. Justin had already booked the plane ticket. Savanna immediately left for
the airport. The plane flew through the dark night sky and arrived in Philadelphia a few hours later.

It was drizzling.

Savanna got off the plane and immediately called Brandon. The female voice sounded again and again
in her ears, cold and ruthless, “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 place they live is empty. The landlord said that he moved away

numbers, and the place they live is empty. The landlord said that he moved away overnight last night.”

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. She could not ignore Mandel.

“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 Philadelphia, but couldn‘t find any news of Brandon and
Mandel.

Savanna fell into pain and regret.

After a week

A special bone marrow transplant news was on the headlines, and the child in the photo was ...
Mandel.
