Savanna stood quietly in the wind, and faint footsteps came from behind. She turned around and asked
Trevin, “Is it done?”
“I’ve sent her over. She won’t bother you anymore, Ms. Thompson.”
“Good job.”
Brandon and Jim rushed back to the Rose Villas. They did not see Savanna. Lizeth said that she had
been busy in the kitchen and did not know where Savanna went. Then she said that Savanna was
probably upstairs.
Brandon went upstairs and looked around, but he could not find Savanna. Brandon hurriedly went
downstairs, looking anxious.
Jim had been keeping an eye on the Landis family. The informant just sent a message saying that
Flora’s BMW was parked downstairs at the Young Tower.
Brandon could not calm down when he heard the news.
He immediately dialed Savanna’s number. After a while, Savanna answered it. “Hello.”
Savanna’s soft voice was sweet.
“Where are you?”
Sensing Brandon’s nervousness, Savanna wiped the hair on her forehead and smiled. “Are you at
home?”
“Where are you?” Brandon didn’t want to answer Savanna’s question. Maybe they had been separated
for too long, so he was anxious knowing she was not home.
He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath to suppress the frustration and panic in his heart.
“I’ll be right back.”
“Do you need me to pick you up?”
“No,” Savanna said.
Twenty minutes later, Savanna came back. Trevin followed behind her. Brandon did not ask where she
was going. He only hugged her tightly and buried his head in Savanna’s
neck. He greedily absorbed the fragrance of Savanna.
“You’re three months along. Don’t run around.”
“Alright.”
Savanna was obedient as she could feel Brandon’s care and love for her.
Just as the two of them sat down and were about to start eating, the police station called. “Are you
Savanna Thompson?”
“Yes.”
“Is your sister called Mia Latimer?”
“Yes.” Savanna frowned.
“She committed a crime. Please come over.”
“May I know what she did?” Savanna’s eyelids jumped fiercely, and she asked in a hoarse voice.
“Attempted murder.”
The two words “attempted murder” caused Savanna to spring up from her seat.
Brandon furrowed his brows when he saw Savanna’s cold expression. “What’s the matter?”.
Savanna pushed away her chair with a bit of strength, and the chair rubbed against the floor, making
banging noises.
Brandon turned his head and only saw Savanna rushing out of the dining room.
Brandon immediately got up and chased her.
Savanna was about to sit in the driver’s seat when she was pulled back by Brandon. Savanna turned
around and met Brandon’s handsome face. He opened his thin lips and said, “I’ll drive.”
Savanna quickly bypassed the front of the car, sat on the passenger seat, and buckled her seatbelt.
The car started and sped towards the police station.
In the police office, Mia was sitting on a bench. Her hair was messy. Her slender legs were folded, and
her fingertips were holding a cigarette. Her smoking movements were elegant and beautiful.
“Hey, what the hell did you do?”
Savanna walked over and shouted at Mia.
Mia raised her eyes and looked at Savanna, who was right in front of her. She sneered and asked
calmly, “What are you doing here?”
Savanna did not have time to answer that. The policeman came over and looked at Savanna. Then he
saw the man with the noble vibe behind Savanna. “Mr. Cassel.”
After the greeting, the policeman told Savanna what Mia did. “The victim is a patient in the hospital. His
name is Tyrell Goodwin. Something got over your sister. She rushed in and tried to stab him.
Fortunately, someone was taking care of Tyrell. Otherwise, he would be dead right now.”
The policeman depicted Mia as a homicidal maniac.
Mia listened quietly and did not make a sound.
The policeman said to Brandon, “Mr. Cassel, if you are related, get a lawyer for her. We tried to
communicate with her, but she wouldn’t say a word. We have no choice. She only told us Mrs. Cassel’s
number, so we have to contact you.”
Brandon pulled the policeman to the side. The two of them whispered for a while. Then the policeman
went into the interrogation room to interrogate the others. Brandon came back and looked down at his
smoking sister-in-law. “Mia, you pleaded not guilty, but you didn’t defend yourself. Then why did you tell
them your sister’s number? You’re doing it on purpose, right?”
Seeing that Mia was ignoring him, Brandon was a little angry. He shouted, “Your sister’s pregnant. You
promised me that you would behave yourself. This is how you behave yourself?”
Brandon was furious when he saw that Mia still looked like she didn’t care. He took the cigarette from
Mia and threw it under his feet. He stepped on it and pointed at Mia. He said, “If you want to save
Rafael by getting yourself in prison, no one will stop you. But you can’t drag Savanna into this.”
Looking at Brandon’s furious handsome face, Mia finally reacted, “I didn’t want to kill him. Tyrell set me
up.”
Savanna said, “Tell me what happened. Otherwise, we won’t be able to help you.”
Mia licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue. “I’m really hungry. Can you get me something to eat?”
Brandon laughed. Mia was about to die and she still wanted to eat.
Savanna pulled the corner of Brandon’s clothes. Brandon had to turn around and went out to buy food
for his sister-in-law.
He had never run errands for anybody!
Savanna thought that Mia sent Brandon away on purpose, so Mia could tell her what had happened.
However, Savanna was wrong. Aster Brandon left, Mia kept yawning and looked dispirited.
After a while, Brandon returned with a box and threw it at Mia. “Your food.”
Mia’s eyes narrowed. “Thank you, Brandon.”
Brandon snorted coldly and turned his face away. In the past, he did not have any feelings for his little
sister-in-law. But this time, Brandon was very annoyed with her.
She finished the whole box. She belched and said to Savanna with a smile, “Savanna, Brandon. I’ll tell
you what happened. As for Seth’s illness, only Rafael and Tyrell knew what happened to him. Rafael
refused to tell me, so I went to find Tyrell. After hearing what I said, ‘Tyrell pulled a long face. He said
that he would not forgive me for Rafael’s sake. He said I was a demon that sucked human blood. I
sucked his brother’s blood. I was very angry. I rushed over to hit him. Then he jumped off the bed and
seized my neck. He almost strangled me to death. Look.”
Mia untied her collar and brushed away the hair on her neck. On her delicate skin were traces of blood.
“This is the evidence. He kept provoking me. He said that Rafael was cheated by a demon. What
Rafael did for me was not worth it. Even if I were pregnant with Rafael’s child, Rafael would not want
me. He said I was only Rafael’s toy girl. I am really, really…”
The smile in Mia’s eyes disappeared. She looked so sad. Tears fell from her eyes and her voice
choked. “I couldn’t take it anymore, so I tried to stab him with a knife. But I didn’t
make it. He hurt himself. When the doctors and nurses came, his blood was running out badly. He cut
his wrist himself. I don’t know why, but the knife was in my hands at that time.”
Savanna was still shocked at Mia’s words. Mia just said, “Even if I were pregnant with Rafael’s child,
Rafael would not want me.”
Savanna furrowed her brows. “Are you pregnant?”
