MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

An involuntary shudder passed over Devin and Valerie.

"Dylan, Devin, and I have been very hard on Valerie. You should not want too much!" Susan's face changed, too.

"Too much? At least I had never wronged an innocent person and brought the police to catch her!" Dylan said with a scornful laugh. Then he looked up at the clock on the wall, "You can't leave the house if you don't apologize in one minute."

"Let's go and have it out with dad!" Susan was furious.

Devin, however, knew very well that his uncle would do what he said. He pulled his mother helplessly. Since grandpa was so angry with them now, he would not help them this time.

Annoying his uncle would only make the matter worse!

He gritted his teeth, walked to the couch first, and knelt down at Savannah.

"I'm sorry; I should not have wronged you."

Seeing Devin's submission, Susan finally realized that she had no option.

She glared at Savannah, malevolent, closed her eyes, and kneeled down reluctantly.

"I'm sorry." With that, Susan rose up indignantly and left the villa.

Devin ran to catch up with his mother, regardless of Valerie at all.

Valerie, after Devin and Susan had all succumbed to Dylan, dared not disobey him. She swallowed, kneeled down, and said sorry.

Then Valerie was about to rise up but stopped by Dylan's cold gaze.

"Slap yourself 100 times in the face. If we can't hear it, just do it again."

"Why? I've kneeled and apologized!" Valerie exclaimed in dismay.

A hundred times? Did Dylan want to kill her?

Savannah also looked at Dylan. She didn't expect he would punish Valerie in this way.

Dylan Knew Savannah's heart was softened.

"You forgot the bruise on your waist?" He said, coldly

He had found out that she had been deliberately hit by Valerie?

"Hurry up." Dylan looked impatiently at the clock.

Valerie dared not hesitate any longer and started slapping herself.

The hall echoed with the slap sound.

Savannah could almost hear her cousin's pain.

In a moment, Valerie's face became red and swollen.

When Valerie finally finished the slapping, her cheek was blown up like a red balloon; she felt giddy and almost faint. Helped by the servants, Valerie rose unsteadily to her feet and walked out of the Sterling's house.

After a time, Savannah recovered from the drama and looked at the man who was always sober and cold.

"Had you sent someone to follow Abby?"

Otherwise, how could he get the recording?

"It's no use having someone followed Abby. You can't be there for 24 hours behind her. And you could not be able to hear the conversations when she met Valerie privately." Dylan shrugged.

"So... " She blinked and realized, "Abby was bugged?"

The little woman was not stupid. He looked at her approvingly and nodded.

"Where was the bug equipped?" Savannah asked curiously.

"Cell phone."

She was amazed that the man was so clever!

If he fit a listening device to Abby, she would find out sooner or later.

But the listening device was not easy to be found on her cell phone.

Nowadays, people would take mobile phones with them wherever they went. It was indeed the best way to bug her phone.

But cell phones were the most private things of modern people. Only the most intimate person could have a chance to touch it.

So he dated Abby to make it easier to tap her phone…

Her lips curved at the thought.

"What are you laughing at?" He noticed her expression.

"Nothing... I wonder how much you had sacrificed to let down Abby's guard and get her phone."

Dylan raised his eyebrows. This little woman had gotten a nerve, laughing at him for the way he helped her. Wordlessly, he rose from the couch, coming up to her.

He stood before her, so close that she could almost feel his hot breath. Savannah began to regret what she had said.

Was she mad? Maybe she was so happy when her innocence was proved that she dared to play a joke on him!

Before she could speak, her chin was raised by his fingers.

"I think my sacrifice should be paid off well."

"How did you know that Valerie's baby had died in the womb?" Savannah changed a topic, turning away from his hot fingers. "

"Besides Abby, I put a tail on Valerie, too. Your cousin was much more vigilant. A few days ago, Garwood said the maid serving Valerie had recently sent a large sum of money back to her hometown. After the investigation, we knew that the money was from Valerie. Garwood checked the street surveillance videos the days when Valerie was out and finally found that Valerie had gone to a hospital. Yesterday, when I was in Beverly Hills, Garwood called and told me that he found Doctor Young."

So... He left suddenly last night and had no time to explain to her.

"And Abby... " She suddenly remembered something.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything." He understood her concern and said.

But it had been widely circulated on the Internet.

Would he put the recording and Doctor Young's words online?

No. Valerie's case was a scandal of the Sterling. Even if old Sterling hated Valerie, she was still his grandson's wife, and it was impossible for the Sterling to allow Dylan to put the evidence online.

Even that her injustice had been sighted in front of the Sterling, in the eyes of outsiders, she was still a killer who had hurt a pregnant woman.

Savannah's eyes shadowed at this thought, but she didn't ask him what he was going to do.

He had done enough for her this month, and she should be satisfied.

She didn't want to put more pressure on him.

But it was so distasteful. Like a little model without any family background, it was hard for her to build a good reputation and image again after Abby's false accusation.

Seeing her hesitation, Dylan held her hand firmly.

"Go back to Beverly Hills."

This time, she followed him without resistance. They left at the Sterling's house quietly.

***

It was pitch dark when they arrived in Beverly Hills.

The car drew up in front of the villa. Dylan was about to unbuckle Savannah's seatbelt when his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and looked at the screen.
