MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Off the stage, Savannah was stunned.

She didn't expect her grandpa to throw a party today to make her identity known.

All the guests turned to look at Savannah as they whispered to each other heatedly. They were all surprised to know K&G's new young boss was the granddaughter of the chairman of the Morton group.

Savannah became the center of attention.

"I didn't expect her to forgive me when I came to LA, but I still didn't come in vain. I'm glad to see her talent in design, but at the same time, I regretted what I had done and felt guilty. If I brought her back to me earlier, she might have made such an achievement earlier. Even though she would never call me grandpa, I decided to give her the Morton group. Savannah Schultz will be my heiress, and I hope she will accompany me back to Chicago and take over the business slowly."

There was another uproar among the guests.

Mr. Morton left his fortune to his granddaughter; he had just claimed it back?

Joanne was Raymond's only daughter, and Joanne had only one daughter. It was normal that Miss Schultz would share the Morton family's property, but it was shocking that all of it would be given to a girl under the age of 25.

"It seems that Mr. Morton really loves his granddaughter..."

"Yeah. Mr. Morton has always been steady and even-tempered. I think he decided to hand over the group to his granddaughter because he felt guilty for her."

Someone shook his head in disapproval.

"I don't think he gave the company to her out of a sense of guilt only. Mr. Morton has an excellent judge of people. He must trust his granddaughter. Although Miss Schultz is young, she's talented in design. She should have been the winner in the designer competition not long ago, but she withdrew from the competition for some reason. What's more, shortly after taking over K&G, she launched Young series and attracted an overseas company YSHEN to cooperate with her... There are few young people in their early 20s who can do this! If you ask me, Mr. Morton should be glad he's found the right successor!"

A murmur of approbation and envy ran through the guests.

Dylan, standing in the dim light at the door, was listening quietly to the murmurs.

Next to him, Fiona just recovered from the shock of Savannah's real identity as the granddaughter of Mr. Morton.

Amid the congratulations, the dinner reached its culmination.

Dylan watched Savannah being greeted on the stage by the housekeeper and servants from the Morton family like a princess, his eyes twinkling with some unreadable emotion. Then he turned around and marched out of the hotel.

Fiona quickly followed up.

Out of the hotel, under the streetlamp, Dylan pulled open his car door and said without looking back, "you can take a taxi home."

"Why?" Fiona asked in a whisper, her word particularly clear in the quiet night.

Dylan paused.

"Why don't you tell Savannah that you still love her?" Fiona summoned up courage and continued, "When K&G was said to have committed plagiarism a few days before, you did your best to find out the theft and the one behind the scenes. To get Savannah out of the trouble as soon as possible, you bought that theft to surrender himself! Tonight, you came to Mr. Morton's dinner party for nothing but to see Savannah return to the Morton family! Just now, when Mr. Morton announced that Savannah was his granddaughter and heiress, you looked relieved... You clearly care about her! But why did you suddenly cancel the wedding? Why did you bring me to you to annoy her and make her jealous? Are you deliberately trying to make her give up on you and get her to leave you? She's going abroad with another man now, and she may never come back! Are you sure you don't mind?"

"Shut up!" Dylan's face changed.

Fiona gasped. She really couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Why did he concerned about Savannah, afraid that she would be hurt, while he behaved so cold and distant to her?

"Don't talk nonsense to her if you still want to stay at the headquarters. Swallow all your guesses!" He ordered her coldly.

With the warning, he climbed into the car and sped on his way.

A month later.

Cold weather set in abruptly with a killing frost.

At the crowded airport, Savannah, wearing a warm yellow coat and her hair in a ponytail, stood at the gate of the airport with a draw-bar box at her feet. She looked like a college girl who hadn't graduated yet. No one would believe she was a four-year-old boy's mother and the heiress of a large group.

She held Kaiden by the hand as she said goodbye to Kevin.

Kevin had a suitcase at his feet too.

However, their destinations were different, and their boarding gates were different.

Savannah and Kaiden would be on a domestic flight to Chicago, while Kevin would board a flight to Milan, Italy.

"I'm sorry, Kevin." Savannah looked at Kevin, feeling guilty.

A week ago, she made her mind clear to Kevin.

She wanted to leave LA temporarily, but she wouldn't go back to Italy with him because she didn't want to take him as the balm of the pangs of disappointed love. It was really unfair to him.

It had cost him three precious years. She must stop being so selfish.

The place she chose to go to was Chicago.

She decided to accompany Raymond back to the Morton group and learn how to manage a group by heart. Staying far away from the sad city, she could also calm down and devote herself to fashion design.

Kaiden would go with her.

Knowing that she was taking Kaiden to Chicago, Dylan didn't stop her.

However, old Sterling was unwilling to separate from Kaiden. But he had to agree and could only vent his anger on his devil son.

If Dylan had not changed his mind and canceled the wedding, Savannah would have been his daughter-in-law. How would his grandson leave with his mother? He could only ask his grandson to make video calls to him every day and fly back to LA to visit him every once in a while.
