Chapter 114

Gradually, the corners of his eyes had reddened. He closed his eyes. How Savanna made love with
him the night before the accident flitted through Brandon‘s mind. That night, she looked extremely
charming. Her red lips and her pink cheeks were all just sexy. But now she was just a corpse.

Brandon found it unacceptable.

Why would a person lively like that be gone all at once?

Brandon opened his eyes and looked at the black corpse in front of him. Although he did not want to
believe it, the color of the sticky fragments on the corpse‘s body was indeed the same as that of
Savanna‘s clothes. He checked the surveillance camera before. That was what Savanna was wearing
before she got into the police van.

As he watched the body, he burst into laughter all at once, his chest trembling and his throat moving
slightly. He lit a cigarette with his hands trembling. He was thinking of how Savanna hated him and how
she would rather die than be saved by him.

At the thought of that; Brandon‘s heart was filled with pain. Brandon wanted to vent his pain, but it
turned out that only a cigarette could do the trick.

A bang sounded at that moment.

Someone was knocking on the door.

He ignored the knock and continued smoking.

Then the door was pushed open. It was Tracy. She came in and saw that Brandon was standing next to
the bed, staring at the black corpse. The sight of that made her heart jolt. Tracy frowned and said,



“Brandon, Savanna is dead. We have to let her rest in peace. But you...”

“Get out.” There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, which sounded calm and flat. It seemed that he
was so sad that he had a hoarse voice. Or maybe it was just because of that cigarette he was smoking

Noticing thatBrandon wasn‘t actually in so much pain, Tracy felt slightly relieved. Then she tried to
persuade him again.

“It‘s a plain fact that she‘s dead and we can‘t bring her back to life. Actually, it was Giselle who asked
me to comfort you. She said that you‘d encounter many outstanding women in your life. You

won‘t stay single forever...”

“Get lost.”

Before Tracy could finish her sentence, Brandon grabbed her arm and pushed her out of the door.

Brandon pushed her so hard that Tracy‘s back hit the wall. The back of her waist ached because of

that. After she stood firm in front of the door, Tracy looked at the closed door with mixed feelings. Every
time Brandon was in pain, she felt uneasy as well. But to get Brandon’s love, Tracy would do anything
even though that would bring Brandon pain.

With no more enemy, Tracy was no longer worried.

Winnie and Savanna were both no match for her. And from now on, she‘d make sure there were no
more women in Brandon‘s life. She‘d drive away any women that appeared.

That way, one day, Brandon would have to marry her.

Then Tracy started to imagine how she was wearing a white wedding dress and holding Brandon‘s arm
as they walked into the marriage auditorium together.



“What are you doing here?”

Giselle came up and wanted to see Brandon since Debbie had told her that, ever since Brandon
brought back Savanna‘s body, he kept staying with the body in the master bedroom, where the two of
them once lived. It seemed like Brandon was not himself now.

But Giselle didn‘t expect to see Tracy here like this, who was standing at the door and smiling happily

Tracy‘s body shook as she turned her head slowly. Then she saw Giselle. Shivering, she said,
“Nothing! Savanna is gone. And Brandon is staring at her body numbly. Therefore, I am worried about
him.”

Giselle looked at Tracy suspiciously. The way she looked didn‘t suggest that she was worried at all. Or
rather, it could be said that she was gloating or happy about a dream coming true.

In order to stop Giselle from wondering, Tracy changed the topic right away.

“There is something wrong with Brandon. Savanna is dead. She should be buried. But instead,
Brandon brought her body back and even put it on the bed. Do you think that will bring bad luck?”

Giselle stared at Tracy without saying anything. After a while, Giselle spoke up, “Go down.“.

Since Giselle was still the master of the Cassel‘s house, Tracy did not dare to contradict Giselle, who
was not her biological mother. Therefore, Tracy smiled slightly and said “Yes” before she turned around
and hurried downstairs.

Seeing that Tracy had left, Giselle took the key from her pocket and opened the door.

The moment she entered, she smelled the pungent smell of smoke. Brandon was smoking. But other
than his eyes slightly reddening, Brandon looked okay. It was just that he smoked way too many
cigarettes, judging from the countless cigarette butts on the floor near him. Then Giselle



looked at the charred female corpse on the bed, which made Giselle‘s heart ache all at once..

The sight of that made her feel so uncomfortable.

Giselle said, “Avery wants us to bury her. You can‘t just stay with her like this. Her body will rot
eventually.”

The moment she knew Savanna was dead, Giselle almost lost her footing,

Thanks to Debbie, who was by her side and hurried to support her, Giselle did not fall onto the ground.

For Giselle, Brandon and his family living happily together was one thing that she wholeheartedly
hoped for. But things went against her wishes.

loudly like that, Brandon just stood there, staring at Savanna, as if he was busy talking with Savanna.

Giselle was furious at how Brandon looked now.

She roared, “When she was alive, you didn‘t treat her well. And now that she is dead, you are sad like
this?”

What Giselle wanted to say was that Brandon didn‘t have to pretend to be affectionate since what he

did to Savanna when Savanna was alive had betrayed himself! Despite Brandon being her son, Giselle
wanted badly to question Brandon, the scumbag!

But he was her son! She simply couldn‘t go to extremes.

“What a noise.”

Brandon took a puff of his cigarette and said faintly as his thin lips exhaled smoke.



He looked extremely impatient.

Noticing that Brandon failed to face reality, Giselle was furious. “Men are all like this. You tend not to
cherish it until you lose it. By then, it‘s just too late to regret it. I mean, what‘s the point?“!

“Who says that she‘s gone?”

Brandon looked at Giselle, his gaze sharp as if what Giselle just said had triggered off something within
him.

“This is not Savanna.”

His eyes, looking cold, became even reddening. He articulated each syllable, “Savanna isn‘t dead. She
won‘t leave me.”

Giselle was numb in shock after hearing that. Was Brandon out of his senses now?

After being stunned for a second, Giselle stumbled forward and reached out to touch Brandon‘s face,
wanting to see if Brandon was okay. But Brandon pushed her away and scolded, “What are you doing?
Only Savanna can touch my face.”

Giselle didn‘t see that coming and bumped into a corner of the chair, with her hand hurt. A sting came
in its wake. But Giselle couldn‘t care about it now. She was still shocked by what Brandon just said.

Was Brandon crazy?

Giselle gritted her teeth and said, “I‘m your mother. Why can‘t I touch you? Since you care so much
about Savanna, why did you treat her like that when she was alive?”

Brandon threw the cigarette butt to his feet and stepped on it to put it out. He, amused, asked, “Like
what?



“Did I abuse her or make her starve?”

Noticing how ferocious Brandon was now, Giselle was scared, her lips trembling.

Brandon looked murderous as if he was going to eat someone. Then what Harris did years ago flashed
through Giselle‘s mind. Back then, after Giselle caught Harris and Terri in bed, Giselle was so angry
that she wanted to hit Terri. But Harris, ferocious like how Brandon was now, pushed Giselle away, and
went off with Terri.

Because of that, Giselle‘s head hit the wall and bled a lot. Later on, she was sent to the hospital by a
hotel waiter, where she stayed for a whole month. All the while, Harris did not show up in the hospital at
all.

Also, Harris had said something similar to Giselle‘s words. When Giselle accused Harris of being
heartless and indifferent, Harris retorted, “How is it that I am heartless? Nor did I abuse you or deter
you from doing anything! You‘re still Mrs. Cassel. As for Terri, she is just a plaything.”

It was true that Harris did not abuse her nor stop her from doing anything. But she, as Harris‘ wife, had
become less and less important.

More importantly, she simply could not stand her husband messing with his mistress day and night. .

To Harris, Giselle might be just nobody.

At the thought of this, Giselle felt as if a knife was twisting in her heart. Her eyes blurred gradually. “You
did not abuse her, nor did you starve her, but you knew she was suffering. Emptiness and indifference
had consumed her as she was lying on the cold bed in this room. She, who used to be strong, started
to collapse bit by bit. No one is willing to wait for someone else for a long time. Savanna loved you so
much that she humbled and lost herself. But you kept messing around with Winnie, which hurt Savanna
a lot. In the end, she, desperate, had to escape from you with the child



even though she had failed many times. Brandon, if you really love her, even just a little, you will not
allow things to end up like this. But since this is where you’re now, you have to accept it.”

Giselle loved Brandon, but sometimes, she found what he did unbelievable. She was at a loss about
what to do with Brandon…
