MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Devin agreed.

According to uncle's ability, if he let the police take out the surveillance video of the day to Savannah, the police would certainly give uncle this favor.

"Devin, don't worry, that bitch only saw me enter the bar. She had no other evidence. Otherwise, she would have told the police and asked them to arrest me." Valerie said confidently.

Yeah. Devin's face relaxed.

Dylan was not kidding this time.

The next day, when Savannah ventured out of the villa, she was greeted by two burly bodyguards. "Where're you going, Miss Schultz?"

"To the hospital."

"Miss Schultz, I'm sorry. Mr. Sterling should have told you to stay at home for the next few days." The bodyguards said as they blocked her way out.

The man was serious this time! "I just went to see my friend!" Savannah was hacked.

"Sorry, it's Mr. Sterling's order. Miss Schultz, don't worry. Your friend has her boyfriend to take care of her, and we'll also send a care worker for her." One bodyguard said with a steely resolve.

Savannah saw their firm look, realizing that if she insisted on going, she would be dragged back.

If her disobedience annoyed Dylan, she didn't know what he would do next. Finally, she gritted her teeth and turned back.

Dylan didn't allow her to go to the hospital, nor did he allow her to investigate this matter. She was in no mood to do anything else. Luckily, old Sterling was much better recently and did not need her company.

The only small consolation for her was that Dylan sent a care worker for Olivia. Even if she didn't go, Olivia's daily life would have been well taken care of.

These days, Savannah had been staying in the room, bored with nothing to do. When Dylan got home in the evening, she ate in her room under the pretense of feeling sick, trying to avoid seeing him.

A few days later, Savannah, at last, could scarcely sit still.

This morning, after Dylan went to the company, Savannah went out too.

The bodyguard stopped her as before, "Miss Schultz, you're not allowed to go to the hospital. Please don't embarrass us."

"Can't I?" Savannah scowled.

"No." replied the bodyguard emphatically.

"Well, I won't go to the hospital this time, can I go out now?" Savannah folded her arms.

The bodyguard paused and then asked, "Miss Schultz, where are you going?"

"Don't mind me. He ordered that I'm not allowed to go to the hospital to see Olivia, but he didn't say I can't go out, did he?" Savannah asked back, raising her dark eyebrows.

The two bodyguards exchanged doubted glances.

Mr. Sterling didn't restrict Miss Schultz from going to other places.

Savannah did not bother to say anything more. She went straight out the gate.

The two bodyguards could only follow her.

After leaving the villa, Savannah stopped a taxi at the side of the road. "LA police department," she said.

After a while, the taxi stopped at the gate of the LA police department.

She had come here once and was quite familiar with this place now. Taking a deep breath, she went straight in.

Not far behind the taxi followed closely by the bodyguards' car.

"It seems that Miss Schultz's still investigating her friend's case. Shall we ask her to go back?" One of them was a little anxious to see Savannah going into the police station.

"No," said another. "Mr. Sterling should have already called the police. I guess Miss Schultz will be back empty-handed in less than ten minutes."

***

In the police station.

Savannah went to the front desk, and politely said, "Hello, officer."

The officer was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered this girl. Wasn't she the one who had a very close relationship with Dylan Sterling and had come to ask for the surveillance video last time?

After Mr. Sterling left, the police chief reprimanded all of them who had served her, accusing them of having nearly offended her.

What if they handcuffed this lady and sent her in? That would piss off Mr. Sterling!

Not this time.

The officer stood up, "Miss... What can I do for you?"

Then he winked at a colleague outside the desk. "Get a chair for this lady!"

Savannah knew that the officer's attitude completely changed because of Dylan.

That's good. They wouldn't refuse her request this time, would they? "No, thanks," she said, "I have a few questions about the details of Olivia's case, and I want to speak to the officer who's responsible for it."

"No problem. You sit first, I'll call that officer out." He smiled most blandly. Before he walked out of the front desk, he saw the police chief come.

"Sir!" the officer respectfully greeted.

The police chief clearly knew what Savannah was up to. "Miss Schultz."

"Morning, sir," Savannah said politely.

"Miss Schultz, I'm sorry. You can't inquire about this case again."

Savannah was surprised, "last time you showed me the surveillance video... and there're still a few questionable points..."

"Sorry, Miss. Last time was the last time, and this time is different." The police chief coughed.

Savannah immediately understood what he meant. "Because Dylan said no, right?" she clenched her teeth.

The man even told the police chief to stop her!

The police chief was nonplussed to hear her call Mr. Sterling's name in such a casual way, and then he nodded.

Savannah calmed the discontent in her breast, begging, "Sir, please, let me help on the investigation... I won't ask the details, or just let me watch the surveillance again!"

The police chief smiled bitterly, "Miss Schultz, please don't embarrass me." The tone was emphatic, and there was no room for compromise.

Savannah knew she had no chance, gritting her teeth, and left the police station.

In the Sterling's house.

Dylan came back early this evening. When the servants had served the dinner, old Sterling called his butler, "Cooper, ask Savannah to come down to dinner."

Cooper took a tentative look upstairs. "I've just told her, sir," he said, "Miss Schultz says that she isn't feeling well and won't come down for dinner tonight."

Old Sterling frowned. This trick again? She went down for dinner when Dylan wasn't at home, but she felt ill as soon as Dylan returned.

"Tell her that I ask her to come down to dinner." Even if they were having some problems, they should finish fighting after so many days.

"Since she's not well, don't force her." Dylan sat down with a sullen face and picked up his folk.

According to the bodyguard, the little woman went out today. While she could not go to the hospital, she ended up in the police station, trying to investigate Olivia's case again.

Fortunately, he had already warned the police chief, so he sent her back.

Now she even gave him that attitude! Good!

Seeing this, the old Sterling could only say nothing more and sat down.
