Savanna woke up. There was no sign of Brandon in the room. She was a little panicked andran downstairs without wearing her slippers.
When Lizeth saw this, she quickly brought over a pair of shoes. âSavanna, the ground is cold. When the pregnant woman catches a cold, she canât take medicine. It will be bad.â
Savanna took the shoes from Lizeth and put them on in a hurry. She turned around and looked around the hall. She didnât see Brandon, and so asked, âWhere is Brandon?â
Lizeth answered, âMr. Cassel said that he had to see a client today. Before he left, he told me not to disturb you. He said that you have been tired recently. He wanted you to sleep more.â
âSavanna.â Mandel ran down the stairs.
Mandel ran in front of Savanna and grabbed the belt of her cloth with his small hand. âSavanna, donât send me away, please.â
Mandel said carefully, deeply afraid of angering Savanna and being sent away.
Savanna lowered her head and looked at the little fellowâs dark eyes. Seeing that there was a trace of fear in his expression, Savanna rubbed his temples and whispered softly, âWho said I wanted to send you away?â
Mandel didnât hide anything He directly called out the âbad guyâ. âKadyn said that you have been making arrangements recently to send me to the orphanage. Savanna, I donât want to go to the orphanage.â
Mandel was not an orphan, and could not go to an orphanage.
Kadyn was messing things around again.
Brandon had gone along with Kadynâs wishes and arranged for him to enter the Thompson Group, and even gave him the position of general manager. Of course, the power had long been removed, Perhaps, it was because of this that Kadyn began to stir up trouble again.
Savanna had been in a bad mood because of Brandonâs illness. Now Kadyn was in the eye of the storm She only casually comforted Mandel. Then she took her phone and went to the balcony.
Mandel stood in place, his lips pursed. Savanna was unwilling to pay attention to him. He could see that.
However, he did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that if Savanna was forced, she would really send him to the orphanage.
So, he did not dare loroasterlier.lle could only see Savanna walk to the terrace. Lizeth came out of the kitchen and saw that Mandel was playing with his fingernails. She looked up at the balcony.
Lizeth knew that Mandel was in a bad mood, and she knew that the little fellow had been spoiled by the Cassel family since childhood, She said to Mandel, âMandel, are you hungry? Let me cook your favorite noodles for you.â
Mandel had no appetite at first, as he was worried about his own matters. But when Lizeth said this, Mandel swallowed his saliva. He touched his flat belly and licked his lips. âAlright.â
Mandel sat at the table and waited for Lizeth to cook the noodles, and he poked his head toward the balcony more than once.
Savannaâs slender back was facing him, and he couldnât see Savannaâs expression. So he didnât dare to make wild guesses.
Mandelâs heart was a mess. Lizeth brought the noodles over, and he started to eat.
On the balcony, Savanna was communicating with Kadyn. Kadynâs tone was not very good. âAlthough the child is not your biological son, he was raised by you and Brandon. Savanna, in any case, he has been with you for several years. Donât always come to me for no reason. I donât have the ability to influence his thoughts.â
Kadyn was obviously shifting responsibility Savannaâs sneer rang out clearly. âKadyn, you said that you didnât have a job, so Brandon gave you the position of general manager of the Thompson Group. What else do you want? Are you so willing to see my family ruined?â
Kadyn clicked his tongue,âSavanna, I donât want your family to be ruined. Although we are not related by blood, we are still brothers. Only when you are successful can I have a share. Even pigs know this.â
âUnfortunately, you are even sillier than a pig. Mandel personally said that you told him that we were going to send him to the orphanage.â
Kadyn rolled his eyes several times. That silly Mandel exposed him so soon.
If Mandel was in front of Kadyn, Kadyn would curse him.
âI didnât say that. You canât believe the childâs words.â
âThe Thompson Group is mineâ, not your brotherâs. He has no right to decide whether you should stay or not. Your rood days are over. Scrain.â
Savanna hung up the phone, but it came again.
Savanina picked it up impatiently, and Kadyniâs any voice sounded, âWhat can he decide? He is just a coward. He listens to you. Back then, if he had not married you, the Cassel family would not have been destroyed socatly Savanna, you bitch. If you dare to drive me away, I will destroy your whole family.â
The blatant threat made Savanna very angry.
Savanna pressed the recording button and gritted her teeth. âYou want to destroy my whole family? What have we done to harm you? We offered you everything. Kadyn, donât be unsatisfied. Donât be ashamed.â
Kadynâs voice was cold and fierce. âYou offered me everything? What a joke. You are just attached to my brother. Savanna, back then, if it wasnât for you, my brother wouldnât have gone to Philadelphia with nothing. If you have the ability, donât fight with me. You should go find Gordon and take back the Cassel familyâs property. This way, we wonât be guilty when we go to Averyâs grave. That old woman liked you so much, but you donât deserve her fondness.â
The old woman mentioned by Kadyn was Giselle.
Because of the matter between Terri and Harris, Kadyn grew up by Terriâs side. Naturally, he was influenced by Terri and shared a common enemy witli her, How Savanna wished she could beat him through the phone!
She suppressed the anger in her heart and mocked, âKadyn, donât you blush at the mention of this? Back then, without your help, how could Gordon be so proud? You are a true descendant of the Cassel family.
Say, one day, if you meet your grandfather after you die, will he stab your chest with a knife?â
Kadyn fiercely refuted, âIt has nothing to do with me. That is a grudge between you and Brandon. For you, he didnât even want the property my grandfather gave him. Do you feel good to fool such an outstanding man around?â
Savanna completely lost the desire to communicate with Kadyn, and she directly ended the phone Kadyn called again. Savanna didnât even think before turning off her phone.
Savanna opened the door connected to the living room on the balcony and returned to the hall. Lizeth was tidying up the table after Mandel finished his breakfast, and Savanna could only see the figure of Mandel stepping on the white steps with his short legs.
Lizethi pur away his bowl and walked out of the restaurant. She saw Savanna standing alone in the hall, her face seeming to be in a panic. There was a faint worry between her eyebrows.
Lizeth thought that she was worried about Mandelâs leaving or staying. She said faintly, âSavanna, Mandel doesnât talkas muclias before. When you and Mr. Cassel talk in front of him in the future, you should be careful. He seems to be always worried.â
Lizeth had just taken this out of the uneasy look on Mandelâs face when he was having noodles.
Savanna nodded. Thinking of what Kadyn had just said, she said to Lizeth, âYou canât let him go out recently. Even if you canât persuade him, you must go out with him. Kadyn, that bad guy always has bad intentions.â
It was made by Kadyn, and Lizeth knewit.
If it wasnât for Kadynâs instigation, this family would be happy and harmonious.
