Chapter 491: Chapter 494

“Savanna, tell me what happened to your friend?”

Brandon walked over and sat on the sofa next to Savanna. He turned sideways to face her and stared at Savanna’s face with a pair of black eyes.

“Her husband got a huge inheritance right by chance, but the prerequisite was that he had to divorce her and marry another woman.”

Savanna put the things that happened to her on this imaginary friend.

She wanted to use this method to find out the true thoughts in Brandon’s heart.

Hearing this, Brandon frowned.

Then he quickly and objectively said, “It depends on what your friend’s husband thinks, as well as the situation of their marriage. Everyone’s situation is different and cannot be generalized.”

Savanna nodded and said calmly, “I roughly know their situation.”

“Then tell me.”

“My friend fell in love with her husband at first sight, but her husband already had a lover before her.

For various reasons, the two of them finally married.”

When Savanna said these words, it was as if she were reminiscing about the first half of her life.

Savanna thought, it was a short, ridiculous, and cold life.

“Does he love your friend?”

In front of most men’s careers, love only took up a small part. As a man, Brandon knew this truth.

“I think so. He might have loved her for a short time.”

Savanna thought, in our long-married life, Brandon might have loved me for a short period.

But most time, he suspected and neglected me, and treated me as a prisoner.

“If that’s the case, in the face of benefits that are within reach, your friend is likely to be abandoned.”

Brandon analyzed the result from a man’s point of view.

“Why?” Savanna looked up at him, her beautiful starry eyes filled with disappointment. “Why would he give up his wife, who has been by his side all day and night just because of money?”

Brandon saw Savanna was getting agitated, so he quickly comforted her, “Savanna, don’t get agitated.

This is only my reasonable speculation. Many times, human nature is like this.”

Instead of being comforted, Savanna became more and more agitated. She stared at Brandon and asked, “What about you? If it were you, what would you choose? Would you also choose to divorce me for the huge fortune?”

“Of course not.”

Brandon answered firmly, without any hesitation.

“Are you sure?”

Savanna confirmed with him again.

She was afraid of the bad side of human nature and more afraid of the tricks of fate.

After going through so much, she really did not want to be separated from Brandon.

“I am very sure.” Brandon nodded affirmatively. “If I want money, I can earn it.

But you, Savanna, are the only one in the world, so I can’t lose you.”

After he finished speaking, he held Savanna tightly in his arms.

In the quiet study, Savanna leaned against his chest and murmured unconsciously, “Brandon, I believe you once again. You must keep your word.”

Even though the voice was very low, Brandon still heard it.

He had always felt that something was wrong with Savanna. Now, he was even more sure that someone must have said something to her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so abnormal and made up a story about her friend.

Brandon reached out and patted Savanna’s back while thinking about who did this.

Without even thinking about it, he had already locked onto the biggest suspect.

At this time, the study was terribly quiet.

Outside the door of the study, Lizeth, who was wearing an apron, sneakily stuck her ear on the door to eavesdrop on the movements inside.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t there any sound? Did something happen to Ms. Thompson and Mr.

Cassel?”

She was impatient and wanted to break in.

However, she was only a servant, so she could only patiently knock on the door.

Knock, knock.

“Who is it?”

“Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cassel, the food is ready. Do you want to have it now or later?”

Hearing Lizeth’s voice, Brandon stopped patting Savanna’s back.

He pressed his lips to her ear and asked softly, “Do you want me to hold you a little longer, or go down and eat now?”

Savanna did not reply to him. It was obvious that she was still immersed in a bad mood.

Brandon really hated that bigmouth. He wanted to pull that person’s tongue off and throw it to feed the dogs.

“Savanna, trust me. I promised to be with you, and I won’t let you down.”

Brandon lowered his voice and continued to coax the person who was in his arms.

Savanna finally looked up, and her beautiful eyes faintly had tears in them. She asked, “Can we still have a lot of meals together?”

When she was young, she always looked forward to vigorous love. But now, she only hoped to be able to have an ordinary life with Brandon.

“Of course,” Brandon solemnly replied.

Savanna nodded and said, “Let’s go down to have dinner now.”

Lizeth, who was waiting outside, did not hear a response for a long time and was anxious.

Half of her face was pressed against the door, but she still could not hear the movement inside the study.

“Ms. Thompson?” She knocked on the door again.

The next second, the door to the study opened.

Lizeth lost her balance, and her body was uncontrollably thrown forward, almost falling to the ground.

When Brandon saw this, he instinctively pulled Savanna he was holding into his arms.

After confirming that Savanna was fine, he asked with a dark face, “Why are you leaning against the door?”

Lizeth said, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I was worried that something had happened to you, and I didn’t hear anything!”

Savanna knew that Lizeth was worried about her, so she immediately helped her out.

“Brandon, I’m hungry. Let’s go downstairs and have dinner.”

For the sake of Savanna, Brandon did not argue with her. He held Savanna’s hand and went downstairs.

During the meal, Brandon sent a message to Jim.

He texted: “Check Finn’s schedule for tomorrow. I want to meet him!”

Jim was very efficient. After finishing the meal, Brandon got Finn’s schedule from Jim.

Unlike ordinary people, Finn, this sickly person, spent most of his time treating.

He might be seriously ill now. He did not go to the previous hospital but directly called the attending doctor Darwin to his home.

In addition to treating the illnesses, Brandon also noticed a special trip.

“What is Finn going to do at New York Airport tomorrow afternoon?”

After dinner, Brandon came to the courtyard alone and called Jim.
