Savannah couldn't help but sneer. "Do you think you can look down on me and humiliate me just because you are rich?" Callan lowered his eyes and walked over to Savannah. He opened his arms and hugged her. "I'm not humiliating you, how can I humiliate you? I thought it would be better to be open and honest. If this deal can benefit us, why not?" Savannah tried hard to push Callan away and said righteously, "Benefit? Sorry, I don't see what benefits I can get! Callan, I know you are a powerful person, but you can't do anything to me! I am not going to sell my dignity! Did you bring me here so that you could force me into it?" Before he could explain, Savannah had already opened the door and rushed out in an instant. Callan did not stop her. He stood there with his hair drenched because of the rain. The water droplets dripped down along his fringe, across his nose bridge, and dampened his thin lips... "Boss, that's all for today's arrangements. Do you have any chan
Liam Quentin greeted her. "Savannah... I... I thought you wouldn't come." Savannah ignored him and went to the bed to see Mrs. Quentin. She was getting an infusion and it seemed that she had fallen asleep. Savannah lowered her voice and asked, "What's the problem? What did the doctor say? Is it serious?" "Her blood pressure increased all of a sudden because I angered her," explained Liam in a weak voice. "What?" Savannah was puzzled. "You're the one who pissed her off? What did you do to make Auntie so angry? You know she's in poor health, so couldn't you be more considerate?" Liam was waiting for Savannah to say what she just did, hence, he took the opportunity to hold Savannah's hand tightly and prayed, "I told my mother that I made a mistake and drove you away... She got so angry that her blood pressure increased! She also said that if I don't get you back, she would disown me!" "Let go..." Savannah tried to push him away and frowned. Mrs. Quentin
It was not a phone call from Liam Quentin and the screen did not display a caller ID. Moreover, it was not a mobile number, but a landline number instead. "Hello?" Savannah Lea picked up the call in confusion, but it was certainly Liam's voice. "Savannah?" Liam's voice sounded different from his usual. He seemed extra nervous and afriad. "Liam, it's me... What's wrong with you? What happened?" Savannah walked out of the lounge and went out to answer the phone. It turned out that he had gotten into trouble. It had just been two short weeks since she saw him. Liam told Savannah everything in a trembling tone. Apparently, something had happened to his company. Two of his seniors who were his business partners had taken away all the funds and ran away! The two seniors were not citizens of Texas, so Liam had to be responsible for the company's loan. Now that the two seniors had run away with the money, it meant that the company was over, and all the debts had t
"Liam, slow down. Be careful of what's under your feet." Savannah Lea warned. Savannah looked carefully as they walked and strenuously carried Liam Quentin out of the construction site. Not long after they walked out, a row of black Bentleys came from the main road ahead, followed by a Rolls Royce. Savannah stopped while supporting Liam. The row of cars suddenly braked and stopped in front of her. First, a group of bodyguards in black got out of the car. Then, Nick Jonah got out of the car and walked towards her. "Miss Lea, the President was worried and decided to come and have a look. Are you all right?" Savannah looked at the Rolls-Royce behind her and did not understand why Callan Handerson had come. Was he here to see how miserable Liam was? Did he come to see a joke? However, with Liam's condition, he must be sent to the hospital immediately. She could care less about Callan's intentions. "Mr. Jonah, please help me. Liam, he... is injured!"
Savannah Lea gave it a thought. With such a huge debt behind her back, she'd have to worry about the loan sharks all the time, which meant that the matter couldn't be delayed anymore. The one person she could think of that would help her, was none other than her father, Walden George. She had actually decided to cut off all ties with Walden, but for the sake of Liam Quentin's life, she decided that she'd beg for his help again. Eight million dollars was not a small amount of money, but someone like Walden must have it in possession. The only thing Savannah was worried about, was how she would approach him. This time around, Savannah went straight to visit the George Family. It was different from the 150,000 dollars that she asked for last time, eight million dollars might be overboard, but there was no way of hiding the truth from her stepmother, Hilda Kent, anymore. Savannah decided to trade her dignity for Liam's life. When she arrived at the George family est
"Liar, liar..." Savannah Lea was caught in Callan Handerson's embrace. As if she had lost her mind, she kept on repeating the word 'liar' over and over again. "What are you saying?" Callan lowered his head and leaned towards her lips. He tried to hear the words coming out of her mouth, then, a subtle smile formed on his lips. "Who are you scolding? I don't think that I've ever lied to you, instead, I think it was the other way around." Savannah closed her eyes and her tears escaped again. "He lied to me! How could he have lied to me! How can he just leave me alone like this?" Savannah covered her face with her hands and cried painfully, "Why did he do it? I promised him that I would always be there for him! Why, why did he do this to me?" Her mindless words earned a sneer from Callan. He pulled her hands away from covering her face and growled in his low voice, "Now that you realize how he treated you, what's the point in saying all this? What's wrong with you?
The crystal chandelier reflected into Savannah Lea's eyes, and its radiance made her look even more endearing than before. Savannah raised her chin to look at Callan Handerson, there was a bitterness that originated from her chest to her throat, she twitched her mouth, as if wanted to say something but held herself back. "Do you have something to say to me?" Callan eagerly noticed the change in her facial expression, like a well-accustomed lover. "Can I, can I ask you a question?" Savannah stammered, she suddenly lacked the confidence to speak out, because from the very moment that she had agreed to his demands, they were never going to be equals in the relationship. He was a buyer, and she was his product. "Ask away." Callan nodded in affirmation. "Do you have any requests? Don't worry about it, from this moment on, I will satisfy whatever it is that you want." His lips came dangerously close to her cheeks when he spoke and made Savannah feel very uncomfo
That afternoon, Savannah Lea woke up from a nap and felt extremely thirsty. She then headed downstairs to grab a cup of water in her pajamas. Based on her past observations, the servants would not be hanging around in the main building during this hour. Hence, she went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. Just as she was almost done, the latched door creaked open. It was Nick Jonah, followed by Callan Handerson's signature rigid and majestic presence. He's back! Savannah was startled, what was she going to do? She had to pass through the living room if she wanted to make her way upstairs, but she just was dressing in only her pajamas! Why did he have to show up right now? Callan didn't notice Savannah at all; the serious look on his face and his cold gaze suggested that he was not in a very good mood. His thick eyebrows were furrowed, which made him look even gloomier than usual. He turned around with a low growl, "Come in!" A young man foll
