MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"I'm not talking nonsense! I know, it's her! She wants to torment us! Grandma had been attacked by blood pressure several times because of her. This time, it must be her again! If she goes on like this, sooner or later, she'll go against you and dad, and our family will be broken up by her!" cried Charlotte, thoroughly aroused.

"Do you have any proof? I went to that church, but there was no evidence that Savannah had been there. And why did Savannah do this to grandma? Why should she go against our family? Charlotte, I know you loathe her, but don't set her up." Lionel knitted his eyebrows.

"I have no proof, and I don't know why she hates us so much. But I know, no one but her! Lionel, why don't you believe me? That bitch's no longer what she'd been before. She's changed! She wants to destroy our family! Lionel, be careful, I know she means to harm you too..." Charlotte's voice broke into a sob, and her thin body was shaken.

Seeing that her sister was a little out of control, Lionel came to her side and asked his assistant to take her home first.

His expression became serious as he watched his sister being helped away.

Every word of Charlotte's complaint lingered in his mind.

Did she say that because she resented Savannah, or her intuition was correct?

If grandma came into this state because of Savannah, if Savannah really hated his family so much, what's the reason?

A doubtful light twinkled in Lionel's eyes.

When Savannah walked out of the company after work, she saw a familiar silver-gray car parked ahead, as if waiting for her.

Lionel got out of the car, coming toward her.

"Are you off work?" He asked with a gentle smile, and there was a charm about his manner. Those white-collar females around all looked at him with an adoring look as they passed by.

"Yeah, you come to pick me up?" Savannah curled up her lips, keeping her distance.

"Well," Lionel sighed and looked at her. "I'm your brother in name, so we're kind of family. It's normal for a brother to pick up his sister from work."

"Your family's out of my league." Savannah laughed with a defiant indifference.

"I thought your decision to accept mom means that you accepted us as a family."

"It's not my choice to accept mom. We're destined to be mother and daughter. As for you and your family, I've never been related to you. I don't think your father and your grandmother would like to admit that Mrs. Rowe has a daughter like me out there." Savannah replied satirically.

"Savannah, I don't know if you have any complaints about my family. If so, could you let me know? I don't want us to be like this." Lionel moved a step closer to her.

"You think too much, Lionel."

"Do I? So why have you been against us so much lately?" Lionel took a deep breath and finally asked the sharpest question.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Savannah replied dryly, expressionless.

"You decided to go abroad, but then you changed your mind and stayed. You made up with Dylan to anger Charlotte, don't you? She didn't come home the other night. Though she didn't tell us what happened, I found out that she was shut in a warehouse with Edmond that night, and Edmond's still in the hospital after getting brutal beatings. Dylan did this for you, right? I don't want to blame you for that. After all, Charlotte and Edmond deserve to be punished for their mistakes. But what on earth is wrong with my grandma? Even if she's partial to Charlotte, you don't have to hurt an old woman like that!" said Lionel in an abrupt tone.

Savannah's face became darker as she listened, her lips twisted with disdain.

Every one of the Rowe family, who seemed so gentle and so kind, was, in fact, selfish and cruel. Even Lionel, who impressed her favorably before, only knew to defend his family, even if his family had committed a heinous crime.

Seeing her silence, Lionel realized that Charlotte was right. Maybe his grandma's accident was really arranged by Savannah.

Did Savannah really hate them so much? Did she want to make all of them suffer?

"Savannah, why? Why are you doing this? Did my family do anything to hurt you?" Lionel became agitated and grabbed her by the shoulder.

Savannah looked at him with a chilling smile.

Not to me, but to my dad.

My dad's car accident was arranged by your amiable and respectable grandma.

And your father, I don't believe he was completely unaware of this.

If your grandma's words in the church could be taken as direct evidence, now she should not be lying in the hospital but lying in prison!

For a moment, Savannah really wanted to tell Lionel what Granny Rowe had done to her father, to make him realize what a filthy and ugly family he was in. But she finally swallowed it.

Lionel was also a Rowe. What could he do if she told him?

Would he send his grandmother and father to prison?

Don't be silly, Savannah.

You should send the Rowe family to hell yourself.

Just then, Savannah noticed that a familiar black Lamborghini was coming slowly.

"Let me go..." she assumed a frightened look when the car stopped, eyes red.

Beside them, Dylan got off the car quickly and slammed the door shut, approaching them.

He grabbed Lionel's hand on Savannah's shoulder and pulled them apart.

Lionel stepped back and found Dylan staring at him with a sullen look.

"What are you doing?" Dylan asked coldly, a murderous glint in his eyes.

"Nothing. I just want to ask Savannah a few words." Lionel stepped back.

"Then, don't touch her." Dylan glanced at his hand.

"I'm Savannah's brother. What can I do to her?" Lionel was a little helpless.

Dylan smiled coldly. There was no blood relationship between them, how would they really have brother-sister affection for each other?
