Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Dylan, you're kidding me, aren't you?" Savannah asked feebly, her eyes reddened.

"I'm afraid not," Dylan replied nonchalantly.

Large tears gathered in her eyes and broke hot across her cheeks. She couldn't bear it anymore and ran out of the office.

***

Savannah didn't know how she got back to Green Bay. What happened this day made her muddle headed and heartbroken.

She did not take a taxi but walked home.

In a trance, she was almost hit by a car when she crossed the road, and she even fell and scraped the skin off her knees and hands.

In the doorway, she dried her eyes so that Kaiden and Garcia didn't have to worry about her.

"Mommy!" Kaiden rushed over as she got into the house.

"Where's daddy?" He looked behind Savannah, a little disappointed that his daddy had not come back with his mommy.

Garcia came over and noticed that Savannah was not looking well.

"Savannah, did you meet Mr. Sterling? What did he say?".

"He's...very busy lately..." Savannah refrained from bitterness.

Could anything be as important as their wedding?

"Take me to daddy! I want to talk to him myself!" Kaiden grabbed her hand but accidentally touched the broken skin.

Savannah pulled her hand away with a moan of pain.

"What's the matter?" Garcia gave a little exclamation as she saw clearly Savannah's injured hand and the dirt on her clothes.

"It's all right." Savannah didn't want to frighten Kaiden.

Garcia asked a nanny to take Kaiden to dinner and then pulled Savannah to the side and asked anxiously, "Savannah, what the hell happened?"

Savannah couldn't hold it anymore. The scalding water burst forth from her eyes. She threw herself into Garcia's arms and told her what Dylan said.

Garcia was speechless and shocked.

Because it was a scandal that Savannah's cousin killed Mr. Sterling's nephew, he decided not to get married to Savannah?

Could Mr. Sterling really be so cruel to Savannah for the sake of the reputation of the Sterling family?

"I never heard such nonsense!" Garcia was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and retorted hotly. "If he thinks you could be easily bullied, he's mistaken! How could he abandon you for such a reason? I'll tell your mother, and we'll get even with him!" Garcia said resentfully and took out her cell phone.

"No, Garcia, don't tell mom..." Savannah reached out to stop her.

Joanne was now busy taking care of Ethan, and the Rowe family's great deal of trouble also needed her concern. Savannah didn't want to add to her troubles.

Besides, what then if mom and Garcia could back her up?

Could they run up to Dylan and ask him why he refused to marry her? And then force him to marry her? She didn't want to be humiliated like this.

Did it make sense if, under pressure, he changed his mind and married her?

She did not want him to be forced to marry her. She wanted his heart.

Garcia was able to guess Savannah's thoughts. She shut up, not knowing how to comfort her.

No woman could hear anything under such a circumstance.

Garcia sighed, patted Savannah on her back gently.

The Sterling group.

"Sir, you can't go in!"

The secretary barricaded the CEO's office door to keep the young man with an angry expression on his face out. But how could she stop him? The man pushed her aside, and walked straight in!

Dylan looked up. Kevin was standing in the doorway, anger blazing out of his eyes.

"I'll call a security guard to come right away--" The secretary said behind Kevin, in a hurried manner.

"No, get out." Dylan stopped the secretary.

After the secretary left, Kevin approached and bellowed in a low voice, "Why? Why did you cancel the wedding?"

"She cried to you so quickly? The first person she thinks of is always you when she has trouble. Well, it looks like you all carry a torch for each other." Dylan said with measured irony.

Kevin went up to him in a great rage, raising his fist to strike him on his face!

Dylan reacted quickly. He took his fist in one hand, pushing him away, and taunted,

"Shouldn't you be happy to know I'm not going to marry her? You finally have a chance to be with her again."

"You this asshole! Don't you know how much Savannah's looking forward to marrying you? Do you know how sad she was after you called off the wedding? She has been locked herself in her room for days without food! If not for that, Garcia wouldn't have been so worried and called me. What the hell changed you? You gave up marrying her just because the marriage would affect the reputation of your family? You're such a jerk!" snapped Kevin.

Dylan's expression changed a little, but he calmed down immediately.

"Oh? So, here's your chance. She needs comfort more than ever. You can give her care and love, get in her heart, and take my place..." Dylan looked at him with a sarcastic smile.

Kevin clenched his fists and teeth. He wanted to give Dylan another punch, but since this man was so unfeeling, it was no use killing him.

But that was strange. Dylan had always been possessive and jealous. He would never have pushed Savannah to another man's arms even if they were not in a relationship.

Now he was a completely different person.

His attitude towards Savannah had completely changed as if Savannah were a hot potato, and he was only too happy to give her to another man.

In a rage, Kevin grabbed a crystal ashtray from the desk and hit it on the opposite wall!

With a bang, the ashtray broke into pieces and fell to the floor.

"Mr. Sterling, are you all right?" A woman rushed in at the noise.

Kevin looked over and saw a young woman about the age of Savannah standing in the doorway, looking anxiously in.

She was not the secretary just now.

Kevin knitted his eyebrows, and suddenly he knew who the woman was.

"You are Fiona Blunt, Savannah's close colleague in Zagreb Film?"

Garcia told him that Dylan transferred Savannah's friend to the head office as a secretary. It seemed that he was quite close to this woman now.

And Dylan didn't mention any of this to Savannah.

Didn't that make Savannah even angrier?

Fiona trembled slightly by Kevin's piercing eyes and nodded.

"Fiona, could you go out for a while? I have something to talk about with Mr. Wills." Dylan said in a gentle voice.
