Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 196 - 196: You Have To Help Me

The Sterling family had been a noble family famous for its conventional moral standards.

Old Sterling joined the army when he was young, and he had awe-inspiring righteousness though he was a businessman now.

He got angry when he heard that his daughter had done something illegal, and he was even more irritated when he saw Susan crazy for a man.

Butler Cooper ordered two servants to take Susan into the villa by force.

Susan was still crying as she was dragged away. "Dad! Henley wants to divorce me... You have to help me... I don't want to get divorced at this age. People will laugh at me!"

Her sad voice gradually died down from the house. Everyone sighed with relief when they heard the end of it.

Old Sterling reeled a little as he coughed.

"Sir, don't worry, everything will turn out fine. You've been rather ill lately. Let's go back to have a rest..." Cooper held old Sterling as he said anxiously.

It was impossible for him to worry about anything. There was never a divorce case in the Sterling family for several generations. What will the world say if the scandal was brought out by the media?

Old Sterling shook his head. "Call Henley and ask him to come here. I want to speak to him personally."

Though very angry with his daughter, old Sterling certainly did not want his daughter's marriage to be broken.

He only hoped that his son-in-law just said angry words on the spur of the moment.

"Sir, you look too weak in spirit to manage the matter. Why don't you take a night off?" Cooper put on a bitter face when he saw old Sterling's tired appearance.

"Let me contact my brother-in-law." Dylan suddenly said.

Old Sterling was in a daze; then his face lit up with joy. It was the first time that Dylan asked to do him a favor.

"Sir, since Master Sterling will take care of this, you should rest assured," Savannah said.

Old Sterling was finally relieved, but he still looked extremely tired.

Cooper helped old Sterling back into the villa, and then they went upstairs.

Savannah sat on the couch and heard Dylan's deep voice scolding her, "your nails hurt me!"

Savannah turned around, startled, and saw him rubbing his forearm.

Just now, when she saw that old Sterling was still worrying about Susan's case in such weak health, she could not help but quietly give Dylan a nudge, motioning him to help with the trouble.

But Dylan closed his eyes to it.

She knew he was too lazy to get involved with his sister's matter.

However, nobody but Dylan could deal with it instead of old Sterling now.

So she gave him a pinch on the arm to push him again.

Then he opened his mouth and took the matter over.

"Well... Next time I'll try to use a gentle force." Savannah parted her lips in a dry smile.

Next time? Dylan almost laughed in his anger, but he didn't want to blame her. He had other fish to fry.

"You ought to make a clean breast of the whole matter." Dylan narrowed his eyes.

"Ah?" Savannah froze, understood right away. Then she took a deep breath and admitted. "Yes. I sent Donna a message with Henley's phone, asking her to come to the Sterling's house. I just can't swallow Susan's rudeness and want to retaliate against her."

"You know Donna, and you know her relationship with Henley? So you arranged the show tonight?" Dylan asked with a sneer.

"Well, Donna is Olivia's distant cousin. When I visited her in the hospital, I came across her relationship with Henley. I thought they were cheating on Susan, and I thought the baby was Henley. I just found out they are innocent, and Henley just takes care of them out of his moral obligation."

"You become more and more emboldened, Savannah. You planned such a big event unexpectedly without reporting to me in advance and made a disturbance in my family secretly. Hmm, impressive." Dylan raised his voice.

Savannah could not tell if he was really angry. She became a little nervous.

Maybe she went a little too far tonight. After all, she threw the cat among the pigeons and made such trouble in the Sterling family. Fortunately, no outsiders saw it; otherwise, it would be a big shame for the Sterlings. So it was normal for Dylan to lose his temper.

But she had no regrets for her actions. Thinking of this, Savannah puffed out her chest with courage. "I won't regret it anyway."

Then she closed her eyes softly, waiting for his punishment, and through the cracks of her eyelids, she watched his grim but handsome face.

Dylan noticed her eyes with amusement, pulling her over to his arms.

Savannah's breathing quickened, waiting for his blow, but he just rubbed her head softly and whispered in her ear, "If you want revenge, tell me. Be careful and don't do it yourself."

Then he rubbed her nose in it as a symbolic punishment.

Savannah got a warm, soft feeling in her heart.

Susan was his elder sister, his family. But he was heavily biased in favor of an outsider.

"Dylan... You really don't blame me?" She could not help but blurt out.

Dylan thought for a moment. "It's just a matter of time. Even if you planned nothing tonight, Henley would leave sooner or later." He said.

Wait…

"You know that Henley and Donna were lovers and that Henley's supported Donna financially due to a sense of guilt?" Savannah goggled at him in surprise.

Dylan didn't deny it. His long fingers tapped on the arm of the sofa.

Savannah gasped. According to Dylan's ability, he was sure to know what everyone in the Sterling family was doing!

Dylan had everything in control.

Even Susan, Henley's wife, was indeed quite unconscious of her husband's actions...

This thought gave Savannah the creeps. She suddenly realized how powerful and dangerous the man in front of her was.

She had always thought that there were only Devin and Susan fighting for power in the Sterling family. In fact, Dylan was also a mysterious and powerful low-key eagle, watching every move of his enemies and lying in wait.

Why else did he investigate his brother-in-law's private affairs?

In this kind of powerful family, everybody's got something to hide.

If one day she offended him, could she also be played like this?

"What's up?" Dylan noticed that the little woman turned pale. She looked a bit in fear.

"Nothing..."Savannah shook her head.

Nothing? It seemed that she had something on her mind. Dylan raised his hand languidly, rubbing her chin. He was about to press her when footsteps came from the stairs.
