Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 547 - 547: Charlotte’s Punishment

It was not the owner who was driving that day.

After Savannah rushed to protect Kaiden and fell to the ground, the car left quickly without hesitation. Clearly, this was a deliberate action.

Therefore, he ordered Garwood to look into it.

After the investigation, he found that the one who drove that car was a local bludger.

The bludger confessed under torture that he had been bought off and instigated to drive into a young woman at the hotel entrance that morning.

From his call records, Dylan knew immediately the one who planned everything was Charlotte.

Charlotte told the bludger that the young woman was pregnant. He was asked not to kill the young woman but just to miscarry her, so the police would take it as an accident only.

He was waiting outside the hotel after he received a phone call, ready to hit Savannah, but did not expect a little boy ran toward Savannah. The car skidded and accidentally ran to Kaiden. Then Savannah rushed over to save Kaiden and hit the ground.

Though her miscarriage was not caused by the car accident, it had a lot to do with Charlotte.

Dylan tightened his grip on Charlotte's neck at this thought.

"Dylan, I…I'm sorry. I was wrong... Please..." Charlotte begged for mercy, her face growing purple.

Just then, the secretary drove the car out of the parking lot and saw this scene. Startled, she hurriedly got out and went forward.

"Mr. Sterling..."

Dylan came to his senses and loosened his fingers. His face was still gloomy.

Charlotte slipped and fell to the ground. Dylan ordered something to his secretary and then strode away.

The secretary gasped at her boss's order and whispered something at the bodyguards as she glanced at Charlotte.

Charlotte shuddered. Wasn't it over?

Sure enough, the two bodyguards went forward and took her by the arms, walking into the building.

"What are you doing..." Charlotte struggled as she cried in alarm!

But she couldn't work herself free from the bodyguards. They threw her into the cargo elevator and went directly to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, a cold wind was blowing, messing Charlotte's long hair about.

Before she returned to her senses, the bodyguards found a rope to tie her hands to the railing at the edge of the roof.

The office building was so high up that they couldn't see it clearly from down here.

All of a sudden, Charlotte was pushed to the edge of the roof, half suspended in the air. Her fear of heights almost drove her mad, and she was so frightened that her legs gave way, and she screamed.

But her shout for help died away in the wind.

The wind was too strong, and it staggered her. She couldn't hold her feet, and she might fall from the roof if the rope broke!

This psychological fear and suffering were worse than death.

She felt that she would faint at any moment, her tears and snot coming down uncontrollably.

"Get Dylan to let me go... Please, just let me go..." She trembled and could hardly utter a complete word.

The bodyguards took two steps back and replied coldly, "Mr. Sterling said it's just a lesson for you, Miss Rowe. Please think about what you did here, and we will put you down in the evening."

In the evening? It was afternoon now; did she have to be tied at the edge of the roof for hours?

"No! Don't go-" Charlotte cried as the bodyguards left.

At the same time

Savannah had just hurried back to the design department when she saw Fiona waving to her at her seat.

"Chief designer, congratulations!"

As soon as the meeting ended, Fiona heard from the design department talking about Savannah's promotion.

Savannah did not feel very happy. She forced a smile at Fiona's kind congratulation and said, "thank you."

"I heard that Mr. Sterling fired Kaif?" Fiona asked in a low voice, as if mysteriously.

Savannah nodded.

"It seems that the big boss is not very nice to his fiancée. I think he and that Miss Rowe might have broken up..." She murmured with a big smile.

If their relationship was good, how could he fire her best friend in front of so many people? Everyone could see he was embarrassing her deliberately!

Savannah didn't make any comments. She prodded Fiona on the forehead gently and said, "it's none of our business. Go back to work."

"None of my business? As things stand today, Mr. Sterling's engagement to Miss Rowe might be off. So, he will be single again, and my chance comes!" Fiona was entranced with her own picture.

Savannah laughed out. Fiona heaved great sighs as other colleagues did when she knew that Dylan got engaged. Now she knew Dylan might be single again and immediately cheered up. Did Dylan really have such great charm?

"Savannah, it's said that it is easier to move a man when he is disappointed in his previous love affair." Fiona continued, "he must be lonely and depressed and need another woman's care now."

"Fiona, you think too much... Even if the big boss broke up with Miss Rowe, the rich people like him would still have other women around him. Wealthy men have so many expensive and absorbing hobbies, and they always know how to enjoy themselves. How could they be lonely and empty?" Savannah felt amused.

"You are right. There may be another woman in Mr. Sterling's life." Fiona said abruptly as she clapped Savannah on the shoulder. "My sixth sense tells me that Mr. Sterling and Miss Rowe broke up all because of another woman!"

Savannah suddenly felt somehow guilty. She fell silent, afraid that Fiona would smell out something.

"What kind of woman could break up Mr. Sterling's relationship with Miss Rowe?" Fiona acted like a detective.

"You must have watched too many TV dramas," said Savannah helplessly, "all right, get back to your department. Even Katrina can be fired, and Mr. Sterling can also ask you to leave in any minute!"

"Yes, my chief designer," Fiona laughed and left.
