Chapter 290

After Brandon heard Rex’s words, his tense expression finally got relaxed.

“I see.”

Brandon had just hung up when Aldo called again. “Mr. Young, old Mrs. Young wants to see you.”

Brandon was furious and directly said, “No way, I’m not free.”

Aldo said, “Old Mrs. Young has already come to New York. She lives in Riverside Hotel now.”

Brandon was going to drive the car back to the Rose Villas, but after thinking about it, he changed his
direction and drove directly to Riverside Hotel.

Brandon knocked on the door and entered the top-notch presidential suite at Riverside Hotel.

Lorena, who was dressed in a black suit and had her hair combed neatly, stood by the window and
looked at the villa group in the distance.

When she heard the door open, she turned her head, seeing that Brandon was standing still at the
door.

Lorena smiled, “You’re here.”

Brandon glanced at her and lowered his eyes. He walked directly to the center of the room and sat on
the sofa. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out one. With the cigarette in his
mouth, Brandon picked up the lighter on the small table and lit the cigarette.

Lorena disliked the smell of smoke the most, and of course, Brandon usually did not dare to smoke in
front of her.



However, now, the relationship between them was tense. Lorena knew that Brandon had resentment in
his heart and didn’t say anything.

She turned around and walked over to Brandon. She had just sat down on the single sofa beside him

when she heard him ask, “What are you doing here?”

Lorena said, “I heard that Gordon was put in jail. Her grandmother is my distant cousin, so I came to
take a look.”

Brandon raised his eyes and looked at Lorena with a cold gaze. “So, Steve and the others were not
poached by Gordon. This is just a show that you and Gordon played together to force me to submit,
right?”

Lorena didn’t dare to meet Brandon’s murderous gaze. She looked away and said in a faint voice,

“Shelton, I don’t want to force you, but the Young family does need an heir. I am old, and my days are
numbered. You can’t abandon the Young family for a woman.

“Why are you so obsessed with Savanna?’Even if she is extremely good, isn’t she just a woman? As
long as you have power and status, you can choose any lady from a prestigious family.”

Brandon took a deep drag on his cigarette. After a few puffs, he finished the cigarette, lit another
cigarette, and continued to smoke. Another puff of smoke was given out. He then continued to smoke
until he felt that the anger in his heart had been completely suppressed. Only then did he extinguish the
cigarette and faintly said, “If I don’t have Savanna and Mandel, what am I going to do with power and
wealth? I don’t even have a home. What’s the use of having a lot of money? You are a woman without
a home. Of course, you can’t understand my words or my feelings.”



Lorena had been calm for so many years, but she was still deeply hurt by Brandon’s words. He actually
said that she was a woman without a home.

Her lips trembled twice. Lorena raised her hand and wanted to slap Brandon. In the end, she didn’t do
it. The reason was that she met Brandon’s cold eyes.

She somehow felt that if she really slapped him, he would never go back and really cut off all his
relations with her.

The hatred in Brandon’s eyes made Lorena’s heart in great pain.

Suddenly, her shoulders collapsed, and she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. “You and
your grandfather are the same.”

Brandon said, “You wonder why my grandpa committed suicide. You always don’t think that you have
done anything bad to Linda. Even after my grandpa’s death, you still refused to realize your error.”

Brandon’s words stirred up the anger and unwillingness that had accumulated in Lorena’s heart for
many years. She said excitedly, “What did I do wrong? Our Davis family gave him the family property
and let him take the position of president of the Davis Group. However, he was an ungrateful guy. He
actually had an affair and fell in love with that bitch!” On the wedding night,

Colten didn’t sleep with Lorena, leaving her alone at home. Every time Lorena thought of this, she

would burst into anger.

The next day, when she found out that Colten was spending that night with Linda, Lorena was ready to
deal with Linda. Linda was from the Fry family, which was already in dire straits. How could she be a
match for Lorena, who was from the Davis family?



Brandon said, “Love needs mutual consent. The person my grandpa liked before marriage is Linda.
This marriage, under the strong pressure and force of your Davis family, was destined to be a tragedy.”

Hearing that Brandon was helping Linda, Lorena showed a strange expression. “Force”

Lorena repeated this word.

“If he, Colten, didn’t agree back then, he could have refused. Why didn’t he? Because he wanted both
me and that woman! He was an asshole. In the end, when I found out, he felt that he couldn’t hide it
anymore. He was afraid that my father would ask him to settle the debt. He pretended to cut off contact
with Linda. However, while coaxing me, he continued to secretly meet Linda. Moreover, he made Linda
pregnant! On the day she gave birth to the child, I really couldn’t stand it anymore. That was why I
harmed Linda.”

Brandon said, “Even if she has made mistakes, you should not have let her take that medicine and turn
her into a sex apathy to separate her and my grandpa.

“I have no right to comment on the emotional entanglement among elders like you. Right now, I only
want the antidote to save Savanna. Savanna is not Linda. She did not destroy my marriage. She is
Mandel’s biological mother and should not suffer this.”

Seeing that Brandon was stubborn, Lorena felt that she could no longer hide it. She roared crazily,
“She is not Linda, but she is Linda’s granddaughter. Shouldn’t she bear the sins of her grandmother?”

Hearing this, Brandon was deeply shocked, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Finally, Brandon regained consciousness from shock. His slow brain prevented him from organizing his
words. He asked with a trembling voice, “Then she is my…”

Brandon didn’t dare to say the words “sister”.



His heart was filled with panic and fear.

“The woman given birth to by Linda is not your grandpa’s. Linda hooked up with another man and gave
birth to her.”

Brandon finally got relieved. He slowly closed his eyes and held his breath. “Grandma, you are not
lying to me, are you?”

“You can go and investigate. If I tell you any lie, you don’t have to go back with me.

“From the fact that Savanna escaped you for five years, it can be seen that she is gentle on the
surface, but deep down, she is a stubborn woman. If she knew the adversarial relationship between
you and her, she would probably kill you and would love you by no means. This is also the reason why
I have tried so hard to stop you from falling in love with her. Shelton, think about what I said.”

When Brandon left, he insisted on asking Lorena for the antidote. She said no and did not want to talk
to him anymore.

When Brandon walked out of Riverside Hotel, it was drizzling outside. What he was thinking about was
Linda and Savanna…

He had never thought of connecting the two people. :

If Savanna was really Linda’s granddaughter, then the relationship between him and Savanna was …
precarious.
