The black Ferrari drove into the yard when the sun was setting.
Brandon, dressed in a silver suit, opened the car door and got out.
âMr. Cassel, Ms. Thompson. You came back so early today.â
Savanna came back from art class this time every day.
When Lizeth heard the car sound, she came out. But she did not expect to only see Brandon alone.
âMr. Cassel, why are you alone? Didnât Ms. Thompson come back with you?â
When Brandon heard this, he immediately frowned.
âSavanna hasnât come back from class yet?â
Lizeth shook her head and took out her cell phone to check the time. âLogically speaking, she should have come back at this time. Usually, after class, the driver would pick her up.â
âWhereâs the driver? Is he back yet?â
âThe driver didnât come back today either.â Lizeth rubbed her hands nervously on the apron. And she continued, âWill something be wrong with Ms. Thompson?â
Did something happen?
There was indeed a huge hidden danger. If Finn couldnât persuade Brandon, he would attack those around Brandon. While thinking of this, Brandon frowned more, and he said anxiously, âCall the driver and ask whatâs going on.â As he instructed the servant, Lizeth, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Savannaâs number.
In the beeping sound, the cell phone was ringing, but no one answered it.
Brandon prayed in his heart, Savanna, answer my call quickly and let me know whether you are safe or not.
His fingers holding the cell phone tightly clenched, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
âMr. Cassel, 1 asked the driver. Ms. Thompson went to the central square to shop after class. After buying things, she called the driver. But when the driver arrived, Ms. Thompson did not wait for him at the appointed place.â
âThen where did she go?â Brandon was worried.
Savanna promised to wait at the central square for the driver, but now she was nowhere to be seen.
Did that mean that she had been kidnapped?
Could it be that Finn did something bad again?
Brandon wondered if he didnât agree with Finnâs conditions, would Finn use such despicable and dirty methods?
Brandon thought that it was despicable.
He immediately called Finn.
âHello.â
A moment later, the call connected, and Finnâs weak voice came from the other side.
âMr. Cassel, youâve thought it through so quickly. Do you agree to cooperate with me? I originally wanted to tell you the market value of the Orwell Group to help you make up your mind.â
âStop talking nonsense. Where Is Savanna? Where is she? Hurry up and hand her over,â Brandon ordered with a terrifyingly cold voice.
On the other side of the line, Finn laughed gloatingly, âWhatâs the matter, Mr. Cassel? Did you lose your wife again? 1 didnât expect Ms. Thompson to love running away so much.â
Brandonâs face turned dark, and the veins on his forehead popped out. âDo you want to die? Did you take Savanna away?â
âYou misunderstood me. I still want you to change your mind. Why would I kidnap Ms. Thompson to ruin your impression of me?â
Finn sounded sincere. It seemed that Savannaâs disappearance had nothing to do with him.
Since it wasnât him, there was no need to waste time. Brandon immediately wanted to hang up.
Finn probably predicted Brandonâs actions and quickly said, âMr. Cassel, what have you thought about what I told you? Otherwise, I will send you the valuation. The internal data is clearer.â
Brandon naturally knew how large the Orwell Group was. It was so valuable that Finn couldnât give it up even though he was dying.
But so what?
Compared to the indifferent and empty business empire, Brandon loved his wife more and wanted to live a peaceful life with Savanna.
âNo need to think about it. If you insist on not letting Savanna know, then there is no need for our cooperation to continue.â
Brandon hung up the call resolutely.
âMr. Cassel, how was it? Have you found Ms. Thompsonâs whereabouts?â Lizeth came over and asked.
Brandon glanced at Lizeth. His appearance looked frightening. Lizeth took a step back.
From Brandonâs look, Lizeth knew that there wasnât any news of Savanna.
Lizeth was smart enough to quickly shut up and stop asking.
But where exactly did Savanna go? What happened?
Beep.
The cell phone in Lizethâs hand rang.
It was a call from the driver. âThereâs news from Ms. Thompson. She just called me.â
âWhere did she go?â Lizeth was overjoyed while holding her cell phone and asking. âAre you going to pick her up now?â
Brandon had just contacted Jim, and he had planned to go out and search for Savanna together. But when he heard the call, he immediately returned.
âGive it to me.â
âItâs the driver. He said he found Ms. Thompson.â Lizeth quickly handed the cell phone over.
Brandon took the cell phone and asked for an address before driving over.
His black Ferrari ran as fast as it could on the road, and he was anxious and restless.
Because the driver said that Savanna was on the shore of a river. This river was the deepest, longest, and swiftest river in New York.
Many people who were depressed or unable to think things through would end up with their lives by jumping into this river.
Once one jumped into the river, there was almost no possibility of survival. Not long before, a young man who had lost his job and fallen out of love jumped in, and the corpse fishing team took a week to get him up.
The more Brandon thought about it, the more he panicked. Savanna must have encountered something. Otherwise, Savanna would not have run to the shore of the river for no reason.
Was she trying to commit suicide?
The accelerator was stepped on violently, and the black Ferrari also reached its fastest speed. Finally, Brandon reached.
the river.
He had good eyesight and saw a slim woman standing by the river.
Savannaâs dressing style had always been gentle. The wind blew up her long hair. In the cold wind, she was so thin that she seemed to be blown away.
Brandon was worried that she would be blown into the river water in the next second because she was too light. So after getting out of the car, Brandon ran over at the fastest speed with his long legs.
Savanna heard the hurried footsteps getting closer. She thought that the driver had run to her. She adjusted her knitted coat and turned around. âLetâs go. Thank you for coming to pick me up.â
Before she could turn around completely, she was hugged by the manâs powerful arm.
Her thin body was completely enveloped in a warm chest, and she could smell the familiar scent.
âI was so scared. Why did you come here?â
Brandon asked in a tone full of fear.
