Chapter 267 Savanna looked at the trending topic on the social platform and only then did she know the news of Addyson’s death. A paparazzi had taken a picture of Tracy pouncing on Brandon. Tracy was dressed in mourning apparel and was in a sorry state. There was anxiety and pity in Brandon’s eyes. The background was in the mourning hall. Brandon should have just arrived and Tracy was pouncing on Brandon. Seeing Tracy, who was about to cry and had a pitiful and fragile appearance, Savanna sneered. At night, Brandon sent a picture of Tracy being taken away by the police. Savanna looked at it and her bright face was expressionless. She lit a cigarette and stood by the windowsill, smoking while enjoying the night view outside the window. Her phone rang, and she lowered her head. The name ‘Leo’ jumped on the screen. Spitting out a mouthful of smoke, Savanna swiped the receiver. “Hello.” “Savanna, I heard that you were locked up by Brandon?” Leo’s voice was filled with panic and anger. This was the first time Savanna had heard Leo call Brandon by his name. If not for his extreme anger, Leo would not have called Brandon like this. “Yes.” Savanna responded gently, dusted the cigarette ash, and put it back into her red lips. “How can he be like this?” The anger in Leo’s heart completely could not be hidden, directly erupting. How could Brandon treat the girl he valued most like this? There came a long silence, oppressive and sad. Afraid that he would never be able to contact Savanna after hanging up, Leo was reluctant tohang up for a long time.
After a long time, he said hoarsely, “I’ll come to you.” “No.” Savanna did not even think about it anddirectly refused. Leo, who was on the other side of the line, paused. “Why?” She didn’t want him to go over and save her. Was she willing to be imprisoned by Brandon? Savanna said, “There’s someone watching. I can’t leave.” Leo paused and smiled. “Have you forgotten what my job is? “Send me the address.” Savanna was silent. Sensing her hesitation, Leo immediately added, “Even if you don’t send it to me, I canfind it out.” Abontar 27 “Leo…” Savanna still wanted to say something, but Leo had already hung up the phone, and a busy tone sounded in her ears. Savanna put out the cigarette, and she began to pack her luggage and put it behind the door. Then, she sat on the bed and waited quietly. Jim sent the food in, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal in the room, he turned and wentout. Savanna stared at the food that Jim put on the table, and her eyes were bleak. But after she waited for a long time, she did not see Leo come over. She guessed that Leo should not have found her place. It was almost time for Jim to come in and get the bowl. Savanna was afraid that Jim would be suspicious, so she poured all the food into the trash can. Jim came in and saw the empty bowl on the table. He was so happy that he took the bowl and respectfully retreated. When it was getting dark, there was a noise outside. Savanna opened the door and went out to check the situation.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Just as she reached the entrance of the stairs, two tall figures immediately approached her and blocked her way. Savanna smiled and pointed downstairs. “What happened? It’s noisy.” The two men were cold, and they did not have the slightest expression, as if they were not human. Savanna felt bored, turned around, and walked back to the room. Bang! She slammed the door. “It’s on fire. What a big fire.” The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. Thick smoke came in through the crack in the door. The smoke choked Savanna, and she coughed uncomfortably. She covered her mouth and nose, raised her hand, and opened the door. A burning smell spread to her, scorching her skin. She was so scared that she rushed in and quickly closed the door. There was indeed a fire downstairs. Why was there a fire? Savanna did not want to investigate further. She immediately ran to the window and stretched out her neck to look down. It was so high. Her head was so dizzy and she wanted to vomit. She was afraid of heights. Savanna was hesitating about what to do when her phone rang. It was Leo. After picking up the phone, before she could say anything, Leo’s voice entered her ears. “I’m downstairs. Find a rope and tie yourself up. I’ll catch you.” Needless to say, the arson was related to Leo, and his purpose was to take her away. Savanna didn’t want to disappoint Leo, and she didn’t want to be locked up for the rest ofher life.
She did as Leo said. She tied the rope around her waist, closed her eyes, and jumped down. The wind blew into her ears, and Savanna felt as if she was riding a cloud and flying inthe fog. It was unknown whether she was dangerous or safe at the next moment. – While she was worried, her body steadily fell into a strong embrace and she instinctively hugged the man’s waist. Savanna opened her eyes and saw the man’s firm jawline and his tight face. He carried her into a car beside them and the car immediately drove off. Jim and the others put out the fire. Only then did he realize that Savanna was still upstairs. Jim quickly walked up the stairs and opened the bedroom door. In the room, other than the suitcase behind the door, there was no trace of Savanna. Jim was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. Tim had searched every corner of the room as well as the Salvia Villa, but he still had notfound Savanna. Jim associated Savanna’s disappearance with the fire that had happened in the Salvia Villa, and only then didhe realize that he had been tricked by someone else. He was so angry that he punched the wall. At that time, Brandon was dealing with documents in the Moon Villas. He felt a little tired. He stopped typing and saw that there were no new messages on his phone. He looked down, and the information on the screen was still the picture he sent Savanna. He was sure that she had seen it, but she just ignored him. He had done so much for her, yet she still did not appreciate it. Brandon was more or less disappointed. The phone rang, and the screen flashed with “Jim”, and the ringtone was very urgent.
“Speak.” Jim said, “Mr. Young, Mrs. Cassel… she … she is missing.” Jim was so flustered that he could not say a complete sentence. He really wanted to bite his tongue. “When was it?” Brandon’s voice was clear and cold, and there was no joy or anger to be heard. “Just now, someone set a fire behind the Salvia Villa. I took my subordinates to put out the fire. When we came back, Mrs. Cassel was gone.” Jim was very depressed and wanted to kill himself. Brandon was livid. He hung up the phone without a word. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Jim was full of cold sweat. Brandon went to Seattle immediately after Savanna went missing. He gathered his men and searched all over Seattle, but he did not even see a single trace of Savanna, who seemed to have vanishedinto thin air. “I’m sorry, Mr. Young.” Jim had known clearly Brandon’s affection for Savanna since early times. Jim felt so self-critical that he slapped himself in the face. Brandon sat in the chair. His face was full of exhaustion. When he heard the sound of Jim slapping himself, he suddenly became irritated and shouted, “What’s theuse of slapping yourself? Hurry up and look for her.” “Okay.” Jim immediately turned to leave. He had to find Savanna. Otherwise, Brandon would severely punish him.
