Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 238 - 238: It’s Purely Fictitious Slander

He blamed her for going out without taking a driver or a maid. What if the baby in her had any problem? So he remembered the night very clearly!

Could it be... Did Valerie hurt Savannah's best friend that night?

Why did Valerie do that?

No matter whether Valerie did it or not, or why she did it, Devin knew that Valerie must not go to jail at this time!

Otherwise, she would get him in trouble again!

When Savannah deliberately angered Valerie, he sensed something wrong. He realized that Savannah was deliberately trying to elicit Valerie's words. From his sight, he could also see the mobile phone screen in Savannah's pocket flashing. So he understood immediately that Savannah was recording their conversation and reminded Valerie at once.

"Savannah, I didn't know you had a lot of fun playing the dirty trick of the recording!" Devin said coldly.

Dirty trick? Was it dirtier than Valerie's attempted murder?

Savannah could no longer control herself. She tried to hold back, for she wanted to trap Valerie into damaging revealments. Since it failed, all her anger boiled over. She rushed over to Valerie, thoroughly aroused.

"Valerie! Tell me, why did you hurt Olivia? What did she do to offend you? She is so young, but she may never wake up. Are you really free from any guilt? I used to think you were just selfish, but now I know you are not just selfish, but wicked and loathsome!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! When did I hurt her? It's purely fictitious slander! I can sue you! Devin, look at her! I'm so frightened!" Valerie hid behind Devin in fear.

Devin held out his hand and was about to grab Savannah's arm when he heard a voice, cold as a glacier, coming through the night,

"What are you doing?"

Devin gasped and looked over. Against the setting sun, Dylan was striding over to them like an emperor in a commanding manner.

Devin took a breath, realizing that if he really grabbed Savannah's arm, the next moment, his hand would be cut off. He retracted his hand immediately.

Dylan walked up to Savannah and grabbed her arm, pulling her behind him.

Devin looked back and said, "uncle, I know Valerie was not sensible before and had wronged Savannah, but Valerie had apologized. Obviously, Savannah still bears a grudge in her heart and use such a thing, and attempted murder, to wrong Valerie! It's revenge! Savannah's yours, I know. But now, she has wronged Valerie without any evidence. I'm afraid that it will be her fault even if we ask grandpa to uphold justice."

Dylan looked at Devin and Valerie coldly. "It just never happened. Don't mention it in front of my father."

"Never happened?" Devin narrowed his eyes. "She had just wronged Valerie in that way! If Valerie were emotionally aroused, that would be no laughing matter! In Valerie's belly, there's grandpa's precious great-grandson!"

Valerie was always a surly unforgiving woman. Hiding behind Devin, she whispered, "that's true! Am I unjustly wronged for nothing?"

"What do you want then?" Dylan's face clouded over, and his eyes deceptive.

Devin sensed the ghostly danger in his uncle's voice, and before he could speak, Valerie glared at Savannah furiously and said in the first place, "I'll tell grandpa that she lost her mind and wronged me, pressing me to admit the crime, which made me almost fall down!"

Last time, she was hated by old Sterling because of Savannah and was almost thrown out of the Sterling family!

Today was the day to make her pay!

Dylan stared at Valerie with his darkened eyes, "are you sure?" asked him sardonically.

The three words were as cold and quiet as the coming dark night, indicating a storm lurking just beneath a placid surface.

A shiver ran down Devin's back. After all, he was still in the Sterling group, and it was easy for his uncle to find his fault when he wanted.

Enough was enough for today.

Even if Savannah were punished when Valerie complained to grandpa, he would offend his uncle, and there would be no benefit for him.

He and Valerie had just won back grandpa's favor, and they were not yet ready to fight with his uncle.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Valerie and smiled at his uncle, "all right. Forget it."

"Forget it? I'm wronged by her..." Valerie murmured reluctantly.

Devin frowned her down, taking her hand, and led her out of the garden.

In the garden, there were only Dylan and Savannah now.

"I thought you were patient, but it seemed that you should still learn how to keep your temper." Dylan broke his silence.

"Almost... Valerie almost said it out." Savannah watched Valerie go with an angry red face, tears in her eyes.

Dylan stared at the little woman with mixed emotions.

Perhaps he should not have let her meddle in the case.

Now she went to the hospital every day, thinking about how to expose Valerie all the time, and lost a lot of weight!

"Do you think this cleverness will do any good? Even if you record her confession of murdering Olivia, it wouldn't be direct evidence. When you tell dad, she may even say that she's threatened and forced by you. At last, you'll still be blamed."

Just like before, if he had not come in time, Devin and Valerie would have already taken her to old Sterling!

Valerie would hold her belly crying and complaining, and old Sterling would surely blame her or even punish her.

He knew his father's character well. Although he liked the little woman, he would never be indulgent when it came to his great-grandson.

Savannah bit her lip, "I don't care! It's better than waiting while doing nothing!"

"I do regret letting you do too much now," Dylan snapped, "from today on, you stay at home and do nothing! You mustn't interfere with Olivia's case anymore!"

"Why? Olivia's best friend. She became so because of me! I must get her justice!"

Dylan stared at her and said sarcastically, "I'm afraid you've done yourself over before you can get justice for others. Look at yourself, so pale and emaciated now!"

Her little face was wasted and colorless, and her eyes were red with blood. She had been consumed by Olivia's case!
