Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 242 - 242: Don’t You Have Basic Manners?

Old Sterling knew that she wanted to avoid facing Devin and Valerie.

After all, Devin was her ex-fiancé, and he broke up with her because of her cousin; her relationship with Valerie was also very tense. It would be a little awkward for her to live in the same house with them. But old Sterling was really reluctant to let her leave.

When Savannah moved out, so would Dylan.

Dylan rarely lived at home before. How could old Sterling let him go now?

In this way, old Sterling persuaded Savannah to stay, saying that he was not quite well yet. He also said that as the Sterling's house was so large and had so many rooms, he would arrange for Devin and Valerie to live far away from her and Dylan. They would not meet each other too much, and they would only stay for two days at the weekend.

Anyway, everything worked.

Savannah had no choice but to compromise and promise to stay.

In addition to the persuasion from old Sterling, she also had her own concerns.

Her relationship with Dylan hadn't eased yet, and she never spoke to him these days.

She was still very angry at his insolence and that he suddenly changed his mind! Now she felt he was not only overbearing and autocratic but also unfeeling and ruthless; what's more, he forced her to become a cold-blooded animal too!

At least she would have a chance to avoid him at the Sterling's house.

Back at Beverly Hills, she couldn't avoid him anymore.

Therefore, it would be good to live in the Sterling's house for the time being.

On Friday night, Dylan was busy with the business of the group and didn't go back.

Right after dinner, Devin and Valerie arrived from Rosemount Villa.

Valerie's belly looked bigger, and her round face looked ruby under the light. They walked arm in arm into the room, like a lovely couple. They called old Sterling grandpa sweetly before sitting down.

Valerie touched her belly softly, "the baby didn't move today until we came here! He must be very happy to see grandpa!"

"Yes, it seems that the baby's greeting you, grandpa." Devin also flattered.

Hearing this, old Sterling smiled from ear to ear.

Maybe it was because this scene was too disgusting, or Savannah ate too much in dinner, her stomach got sick, and she was at the point of fainting.

Seeing Valerie, she was reminded of Olivia, who had not yet woken up and didn't know when she would open her eyes again.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm feeling a little ill. I'll just go upstairs." She stood up and said softly.

Old Sterling thought that her illness was an excuse, but he understood her. "Well. Go upstairs to have a rest."

Savannah nodded and left first.

Valerie looked at her cousin's back, and there was a faint chill in her smiling eyes.

The memory of what Savannah said last time in the garden angered her again. Savannah didn't have the evidence that she killed Olivia, but she herself almost admitted it by the little bitch's trick!

Oh, now she still lives here. Did she really think of herself as the Sterlings' young mistress?

When I give birth to the baby and move back to the Sterling's house, you little bitch will get out of here! Valerie clenched fists secretly.

Even if Dylan and old Sterling liked Savannah, she couldn't be more valuable than the baby!

Valerie felt her belly with a confident smile.

***

Upstairs.

As soon as Savannah went back to her room, she rushed into the washroom, bent down in front of the toilet, and began to throw up.

She spewed up the entire meal.

Then she rose up, stumbling, with a feeling of faintness. If she wasn't in time to lean one arm against the wall, she would have fallen to the ground.

She was now alarmed by the sick feeling throughout these days. Before, she didn't care about it because it was not obvious, and she didn't want to bother anyone when she still lived here.

Today, she realized that the feeling of dizziness and nausea had lasted for a long time. And it was getting worse.

She supported herself against the wall, and walked slowly out of the washroom, sitting down on the bed. Covering her stomach, she sighed.

Was it because she had eaten too much meat and fish since she lived in the Sterling's house?

But how did faintness and sickness come at the same time?

She was in good health all the time and didn't have so many problems.

Maybe she should go to the hospital for a checkup.

After resting for a while, Savannah felt better. She prepared clean clothes and a bath towel and was ready to take a bath in the guest room.

However, when she just walked out of the study and turned right, she saw Valerie standing at the end of the corridor as if she had been waiting for her for a long time. There was a provocation in her expression.

"What are you doing here?" Savannah stopped warily.

Valerie bared her belly and walked slowly to her like a peacock about to unfurl. "I'm the granddaughter-in-law of the house's master and the rightful owner of this house. Is it strange to see me here? And I wonder how you, a nobody, could live here for such a long time. Could you tell me what you are doing here?" She said in an offensive way as she stopped in front of Savannah, and her words were full of aggression.

Savannah clenched her fist and hoped she could slap her cousin in the face. Her patience was almost at an end, but she must bear it, for Olivia and for herself.

Her impulsive action would only give Valerie a chance to complain!

Valerie might design to infuriate her. Her anger was exactly what Valerie wanted!

Savannah stared at her coldly and snorted. Then she got around Valerie to pass on when she was stopped by one arm. "I'm talking to you! Don't you have basic manners?"

"Basic manners?" Savannah repeated derisively, "what should I say to the one who has no basic humanity? Valerie, I used to think you were just selfish and mean, but now I realize that you are not even a human being. You mustn't think because there's no proof that you can get away with it forever. I'm sure Olivia will wake up one day, and when she tells the police the truth, you're dead!"

Valerie's face turned red, and she put up her hand --

Savannah flung up an arm to ward off any blow, but Valerie didn't slap in her face as she thought. Before she knew, Valerie flashed a sinister smile and grabbed a decorative porcelain vase on a rosewood cabinet beside them.

With a bang, the vase fell to the floor and broke into pieces!

Savannah stared at her in amazement.

Valerie bent down, picked up a piece of porcelain, and pointed it at her own arm!

"What trick are you playing again?" Savannah gritted her teeth and guessed her intention!

"If I cut myself and say you hurt me... Will grandpa drive you out of here immediately?" Valerie was jealous to see her cousin living in this house, and she didn't want to see her for a moment! She was pregnant but could only live in Rosemount Villa, while Savannah lived here with no name!

Valerie's face twisted, full of resentment.

"What do you have in mind? Another frame?" gasped Savannah, "Valerie, you're really in great need of psychiatrists! Your soul is horribly besmirched! Have you forgotten your end when you framed me last time?"
