âThat is too much. Donât you know that Brandon is already married?â
Savanna was so angry that she almost fainted.
No wonder her first impression of Finn was not good. She thought that Finn was simply a madman.
Finn laughed, âSo what if he gets married? He can divorce even if he is married. Besides, arenât you in the middle of a divorce? Isnât it good for me to help you?â
âI donât need you to help me.â Savanna glared at Finn coldly. âIf you think that Brandon is a member of the Orwell family, then please let him go and let us go. Both he and I only want to live a peaceful life.â
Finn was especially uncomfortable when he heard Savanna say these words.
Savanna wanted him to sacrifice to fulfill their wish, but no one ever sacrificed to fulfill his wishes.
He was going to die soon. If he didnât act selfishly, how would Lilia live a peaceful life?
Finn had to think about Lilia, whom he loved the most.
âMs. Thompson, you are the most innocent woman I have ever seen.â
Finn put his palms together and then supported himself with his arms on the coffee table as he praised Savanna insincerely.
Savanna only felt that Finn spoke in a strange tone. She frowned and asked, âWhat do you mean? If you have something to say, say it. Donât beat around the bush.â
âSince you said so, then I am not afraid of offending you.â Finn picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a sip. He then smiled contemptuously as he savored it.
The next second, Finn put down his coffee cup and said, âMs. Thompson, do you know how much the estimated value of the Orwell Group is? Do you know how many companies use the Orwell Group as their benchmark and work hard to reach the level as us? Do you know that it is so easy for the Orwell Group to destroy the Thompson Group?â
âWhat are you trying to do?â At the mention of the Thompson Group, Savanna immediately became nervous.
âDonât worry, Iâm not interested in the Thompson Group right now. What I want to tell you is that no matter how many people try to squeeze into the Orwell Group, they wonât be able to do that. But your husband only needs to compromise a little, and he can easily own this company.â
Even a fool would understand because Finnâs words were so blunt.
âAs long as he divorces me and marries the young lady of the Parsons family, he will be able to successfully enter the Orwell Group, right?â Savanna asked nervously.
Finn clapped his hands. âFinally. It seems that you have a thorough understanding of this.â
Savanna suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Finn with a face full of hatred. âWhat right do you have to use such a shameless request to destroy our relationship? Do you know how much we have experienced before we were together?â
âMs. Thompson, you have wronged me. The decision lies with your husband rather than me.â
Finn said in a seemingly dignified manner, âHe can also choose not to take any of the Orwell Groupâs rights and choose to spend his life in poverty with you and be an ordinary person for a lifetime.â
Savanna closed her eyes, and her thoughts were intertwined with pain and hatred.
She trusted Brandon a lot, but at the same time, she didnât want to be a burden to Brandon.
Savanna knew that Brandon might indeed need this opportunity. He was such an outstanding person.
Could it be that he had to live his life in the small Thompson Group?
âOh, I forgot to tell you. If he doesnât choose to return to the Orwell Group, then according to our familyâs tradition, we will be ruthless,â Finn reminded with a seemingly kind smile.
âWhat is the meaning of this?â
Savanna thought it was a conversation with a madman, and it repeatedly refreshed Savannaâs former thoughts. Her body began to shake, and her heart began to pound.
âMs. Thompson, donât misunderstand. Our family is still very abiding by the law.â
Finn pursed his lips and smiled. His fake smile frightened Savanna. âI wonât harm your lives, but I will indeed cut off all of your ways of making money. I will make your life miserable.â
âYou⦠Are you crazy?â Savanna tightened her grip on her coffee cup, and a chill ran down her spine.
âIt canât be helped. Iâve been treated like this since I was a child. I canât survive if Iâm not ruthless. This might be the reason why my family is so powerful.â
Finn said while raising his eyebrows in a particularly proud manner.
Savanna couldnât help but curse, âHow scary. You are indeed a family of devils.â
âWell, thank you for your high evaluation,â Finn cheered and said with a smile. âDonât forget, your husband is also a member of our family. We are the same.â
âStop talking nonsense. I know what kind of person Brandon is the best.â
Savanna lifted the stool and left.
Finn looked at the womanâs slender back and deliberately said, âMs. Thompson, donât feel wronged.
After the divorce, Mr. Cassel will give you generous compensation.â
Finn used the money to humiliate Savanna. And Savanna thought that he was going too far.
âI donât care.â Savanna immediately stopped and turned her head back fiercely.
âEveryone has a price. Everything can be bought with enough money,â Finn continued to express his thoughts.
Savanna was about to leave, but she was so angry that she went back, picked up the leftover hot coffee on the table, and poured it on Finnâs face angrily.
âYou should prevent your mouth from talking nonsense. People should be responsible for what they say,â
âMr. Orwell, are you alright?â
The coffee slowly flowed down Finnâs face, and Finn was in a sorry state.
Savanna finally vented her anger and turned around to walk out.
The bodyguard, Carl, tried to catch the arrogant woman who left, but Finn stopped him. âLet her go. I have achieved my goal today.â
âWhat goal?â Carl was confused and looked at Finn who was drenched in coffee.
âOnce suspicion is generated, the grudge between people will become more serious,â Finn had wet marks on his face, but he smiled sinisterly.
After Savanna left the coffee shop, she wandered around the city center without a specific purpose.
It was the same place, a bustling and noisy place.
But her feelings were different compared to when she came.
When she came, she felt that everyone was happy, and everyone smiled joyfully.
Now, even if she saw those smiling people, she felt that they were forcing a smile, and everyoneâs pain was buried deep in their hearts.
Why was that?
And she wondered why her life was so chaotic.
Why was it so difficult for her to stay with the person she loved?
She was so absent-minded that she didnât even know when her cell phone rang, but the passers-by couldnât bear to listen any longer and reminded her, âExcuse me. Your cell phone is ringing all the time.â
When Savanna heard this, she took out her cell phone from her handbag.
It was a call from her driver. âMs. Thompson? Have you finished class? Iâll be waiting for you at the usual place.â
âOkay,â Savanna responded absent-mindedly.
âWhere are you now?â the driver asked again.
Savanna looked around in confusion.
She didnât even know where she was.
Yes, she walked to a fork in the road where she could not choose.
