Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Savannah looked at her good friend, who was always full of life and fun, now lying silently on the bed. Tears seized her eyes. Olivia did nothing to deserve her injuries, and the one who hurt her had gotten away with it!

Eventually, these feelings could be held in no longer; Savannah couldn't help but gently hold Olivia's cold, unconscious little hand.

"Olivia, pick yourself up, wake up, and tell me what's going on. Why did you go to the bar that night? Why did you fall downstairs? Did you go there to meet Valerie? Valerie did it? Please, wake up and don't let the one who hurt you get away with it!"

Olivia was lying on her bed, motionless like a petrified statue.

Tears streamed down Savannah's cheeks. She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, taking a deep breath. "Olivia, you try to wake up, and I try to find the person who did you harm."

Since her father died and was adopted by her uncle's family, few people were willing to help her out of real concern.

Olivia was her only friend, one of the few people in her life who cared about her.

In her mind, Olivia was more of a sister than a friend.

Now Olivia had an accident, she had to get it straight for her.

What's more, Savannah felt that Olivia's accident might have something to do with her.

Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why Olivia would have asked Valerie to meet her at the bar.

Olivia was not on terms with Valerie at all.

Because of this, it was more necessary for her to find out the truth.

Just then, the door of the ward was opened. Matt had finished his work and came to the hospital to take care of Olivia in place of Savannah.

Seeing Savannah speaking to Olivia with tears, Matt sighed and put some fruit on the bed cabinet. "Savannah, you've been with Olivia all day, and you must be tired. Go back first, and I'll take care of her in the evening."

Savannah picked herself up, nodded. She looked back at Olivia and then left the hospital.

Back to the villa, she was still in her most spiritless manner. The thought that Olivia was still unconscious made her dejected. With her head drooping down, she silently walked into the gate, not even responding to the servants' greetings along the way.

Before she entered the main house's door, a tall figure came to her, blocking the way.

Looking up, she saw Dylan standing on the steps. He came back early than expected today. "You're back," she roused herself and said.

Although the little woman was trying to conceal her gloomy mood, he could still saw a weariness from her expression.

Maybe she shouldn't be allowed to go to the hospital every day.

He strode down the steps, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her tightly against him. Lowering his head, he whispered in her ear, "Devin and Valerie are here."

Savannah's expression changed. Especially when she heard Valerie's name, her body reacted with a tremor, and she clenched her fist.

Dylan was afraid that she would not be able to conceal her emotions in front of Valerie, so he told her in advance.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Dylan admonished and, taking her hand, led her upstairs.

Savannah nodded. There was no evidence that Valerie was guilty, so she must keep calm.

They walked into the house together.

There was a ring of laughter in the sitting room.

Valerie and Devin were sitting on the sofa, chatting and laughing with old Sterling.

Valerie was good at making elders happy, and she seized every chance to please old Sterling. This time was the same. She did her best to make old Sterling laugh all the time.

Looking at Valerie's smile, Savannah thought of Olivia in the hospital bed and clenched her teeth.

Olivia became so because of Valerie, and nobody knew if she'd ever wake up.

But Valerie made all the way to the top, becoming a winner in her life...

It's really unfair!

Although Savannah told herself to calm down, she found it difficult to refrain from feeling exasperated. She wished she could rush to Valerie and asked her why she hurt Olivia!

Fortunately, Dylan noticed her turbulent moods; he squeezed her little hand and shook it gently.

Then she calmed down and went in with him.

"Savannah, you come back." Old Sterling waved to her lovingly.

Savannah managed a smile.

Valerie, sitting beside old Sterling, sneered in her sleeve. She felt her slightly upturned belly as she eyed Savannah with disdain and jealousy.

Oh, Savannah still lived in the Sterling's house. How shameless! Under the pretense of taking good care of old Sterling, she stayed in the house for such a long time. It seemed that she flattered old Sterling well.

Valerie clenched her teeth. She was old Sterling's granddaughter-in-law, but she could only live in Rosemount Villa! Her cousin, however, was nobody but lived here.

Well, it doesn't matter. Valerie thought, Savannah, I will see how long you can stay.

When she gave birth to the Sterling family's fourth generation, old Sterling would be overjoyed and would like to live with his great-grandson.

When she and her dear son moved back to the house, Savannah would be too abashed to stay here!

"How's your friend?" Old Sterling asked.

Savannah took a casual look at Valerie and then replied, "Thanks for your concern, sir. My friend is further stabilized now."

Valerie quavered inwardly with nervousness by Savannah's glance. Then she took a very small drink of the water and pretended she knew nothing about it.

The police found nothing, and they had determined that Olivia slipped and fell downstairs herself. What else was she afraid of?

Then Valerie looked up and said, "Savannah, I heard that you go to the hospital to visit your friend every day, and you must be very tired. Come to have a rest and have some fruit."

Seeing Valerie's self-satisfied dignity, Savannah felt sad and helpless.

Did Valerie think her crime would never be discovered and she could lead a happy life ever after?

With a soft smile on her face, Savannah replied, "okay, Valerie. Thanks."

With that, she released Dylan's hand and walked to Valerie.

She knew how to act too!

Dylan was relieved to see her smile at Valerie, knowing that she had calmed down. He took off his coat and sat down on an armchair.

After a while, Valerie said she had a backache after a long- time sitting and wanted to go for a walk in the garden.

Devin planned to put up a good show in front of his grandfather. "I'll go with you," he said with a smile.

An idea came to Savannah. She winked at Dylan.

Dylan raised his eyebrows. The little woman wanted him to help her get rid of Devin.

He didn't know what she planned, but he believed she wouldn't do anything impulsive.

There was silence for half a second before he finally said, "Devin, I've something about business to discuss with you. Why not let a maid take Valerie out for a walk?"
