Chapter 171

“If I had Terri here, I’d kill her.”

Brandon’s voice was very low, but it was full of menace.

Kadyn sensed hostility. He used to be afraid of Brandon, but he had already been cornered by
Brandon. Kadyn smiled cynically, “Then don’t blame me.”

The call ended.

Brandon listened to the busy tone, and he had a bad feeling.

Beep.

A crisp voice sounded.

Brandon looked down at Kadyn’s selfie. Kadyn made a face, and his empty hand made a thumbs-down
gesture.

Behind Kadyn was a white bed. The woman, who was sleeping soundly in the bed, pierced Brandon’s
heart.

Her face was like a nail, shattering his pupils, his heart, and his mind.

Brandon’s nostril dilated, his lips compressed into a line, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He took his coat and walked out of the office. There was another sound from his phone. He ignored it
and took the elevator to the underground garage.

When the car started, he looked down and saw his phone accidentally.



On the phone screen, two people were lying on the soft bed. Kadyn propped his right hand against
Savanna’s side. His chest was half-naked and was almost pressed against Savanna.

Brandon looked away, but the two figures on the bed kept lingering in his mind.

Brandon’s phone showed that Kadyn was in the Imperial Hotel.

Brandon quickly drove to the Imperial Hotel.

On his way, Jim called him, “Mr. Cassel, word has come that Terri is in Japan with her lover.”

“Bring her back”

Brandon spat out three words.

Jim answered yes and quickly hung up.

In the blink of an eye, the Imperial Hotel was right in front of him. Brandon got out of the car and left it
to the valet. He strode upstairs, yet he was stopped by a waitress. “Sir, you can’t…”

Brandon ignored her. He walked directly past her and entered the elevator.

The doorbell rang.

Kadyn saw from the peephole that the person outside was Brandon.

Kadyn thought he was fearless, but when he was about to face Brandon, he got a bit cold feet.

He sat on the bed, his palms sweating as he held his phone.

The doorbell kept ringing.

Kadyn got up from the bed and was uneasy, his palms sweating hard.



A peek in the peephole was enough for him to sense the viciousness and danger Brandon exuded.

Kadyn did not dare to face the aggressive Brandon. He looked at the window uneasily.

Bang.

There was a loud noise, like a slight earthquake.

Brandon entered. He didn’t see Kadyn in the bathroom. He quickly walked to the window. The clear
footprints on the

windowsill should be Kadyn’s. Kadyn fled.

Brandon picked up the unconscious Savanna and drove directly to the hospital.

The report came out, stating that Savanna had been drugged.

She was in a mid-degree coma, and the doctor said she didn’t need medicine. She would wake up in a
few hours.

Jim called. Brandon was afraid of disturbing Savanna, so he went outside to answer the phone. He
said, “Hello.”

“Mr. Cassel, Terri escaped. She is very cunning. I don’t know how she knew we were looking for her.
When my people arrived at the hotel she stayed in, the waiter said that she had just left with a man.”

Brandon sat at the head of the bed and wanted to light a cigarette. He glanced at Savanna, who was
on the bed and pulled back his hand, which he had reached for in his pocket.

His phone buzzed.

And it kept vibrating.



The caller ID was unknown.

He picked the phone up with his slender fingers. Before he could speak, he heard a soft and sweet
voice, “Hey, I’ll land at three o’clock. Can you pick me up at the airport?”

“Wrong number.”

Brandon was about to disconnect the phone when the woman said hastily, “Wait! I’m Flora Landis.
Have you forgotten me?”

Flora was Winnie’s half-sister, and she was given away by her family when she was eighteen years old.
For many years, the Landis family treated Winnie and her mother badly, and Flora was the only
exception.

Brandon remained calm. “You’re back?”

“Yes! Brandon, just come to the airport and pick me up, OK?” Flora said coquettishly on the other end.

“I’m caught up now. Have your family pick you up!” Brandon refused her.

“Other than Winnie, there aren’t many people in my family who care about me. But Winnie is gone.
Brandon, I came

back this time for Winnie.”

Hearing that Brandon did not speak, Flora knew he used to have feelings for Winnie. So, she continued
trying to sollen him and said, “When I was abroad, I dreamed a lot. In ny dreams, Winnie always came
to me. She held her bald head and cried very sadly. I couldn’t stand it anymore. So, I came back to
mourn her. You know that Winnie and I were very close, and you and her…”

Flora didn’t continue. She was probing, waiting for his response.



A few tens of seconds passed, and Flora finally received a reply from Brandon. He said, “Which
terminal? Send it to me. I’ll ask jim to pick you up.”

“No, I want you to pick me up.” Flora was pushing her luck, saying with a genteel accent.

“Flora.” Brandon pinched his aching eyebrows.

“In the past, you and Winnie would always pick me up every time I came back. And now you won’t do
that anymore, because Winnie is gone?”

As she spoke, Flora was about to cry.

Brandon had no choice but to say, “Alright. I’ll pick you up.”

Brandon hung up the phone and walked to Savanna’s bed. He lowered his head and stared at the
woman on the bed without blinking. Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were closed.

He reached out and smoothed the hair on her temples. Then he kissed her forehead. He said in a low
voice, “Savanna, I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.”

Savanna was half asleep when she heard someone tell her to wait for him, and that he would be back
soon. Then she heard the sound of the door closing.

Savanna was dizzy and had a headache. When she woke up, she saw Lucas. Lucas was overjoyed to
see her awake. “Savanna, finally! You woke up. You have no idea how anxious I was.”

After Kadyn ran away, he immediately sent a message to Lucas, saying that Savanna was drugged by
some bad guy. He also told Lucas to hurry over, because otherwise, Brandon would beat him to it.

Lucas rushed over at once. He took the elevator upstairs. When he looked down, he saw Brandon
leaving in a hurry.



Lucas found the room and saw Savanna lying on the bed alone.

He was so happy. Just as he sat on the bed, Savanna woke up.

Savanna gawked at Lucas, thinking of the affectionate words she heard. The voice said, “Savanna, I’ll
be back soon. Wait for me.”

She thought it was Brandon, but she was wrong. She was disappointed.

“How did you know I was here?” Savanna struggled to get up. Perhaps it was because of the drug, her
body was weak, and she fell back onto the bed as soon as she tried to get up.

“Kadyn told me.”

Lucas did not lie. At the thought of Kadyn, who was a terrible man, Savanna was angry.

“Kadyn told me that someone wanted to harm you. I was afraid that something would happen to you,
so I rushed over.”

Lucas was completely relieved since Savanna didn’t notice anything wrong. He said angrily, “Tell me.
Who wanted to harın you? I’ll kill him!”
