Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 598 - 598: Now, We Are Even

"Say yes," a voice said in Savannah's heart.

There was probably no other man in the world besides Kevin, who would be so nice to her.

The man she wanted to spend her life with had already given up on her. What was she waiting for?

Just let go of everything.

For the man who loved her so much, and for herself, she should promise him.

Driven by the voice, she raised her hand unconsciously and let the ring slip into her ring finger.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight.

The next day, Joanne heard from Savannah that she was going to marry Kevin.

Joanne was amazed that the young couple had progressed so quickly.

But that was exactly what she wanted to see. She was relieved to see her daughter find a man who really loved her.

Kevin was her childhood friend, and they grew up together, what's more, he had even given up his career for her and taken good care of her for three years. He was a reliable man.

They decided not to make the wedding too big or extravagant. Soon after that night, Kevin asked Dan and his secretary to arrange it.

Their wedding would be held in LA in two weeks.

The Sterling group.

Fiona was just talking to another secretary about business when the elevator door opened and Savannah, with her assistant, stepped out.

"Savannah? Why are you here?" Fiona went over to her and asked in surprise.

"I think it would be better for you to call me Miss Schultz." Savannah looked at her coldly.

Fiona was a little embarrassed.

Savannah was now the future heiress of the Morton group and the designer director of its design department. If she was no longer her friend, she should address her respectfully as Miss Schultz in public.

"Okay, Miss Schultz, what do you come here for?" Fiona sighed. She could live with Savannah's hostility towards her, but she couldn't explain.

"I want to see Mr. Sterling," Savannah said quietly.

Fiona looked at the door of the CEO's office, hesitating, "but…"

Savannah knew what she was going to say. Dylan must have told her he wouldn't see her. The thought made her very uncomfortable, but she quickly recovered.

"I came to Mr. Sterling for business. I don't think you, his secretary, have the right to refuse the visit from the designer director of the Morton Group, on behalf of your boss." Savannah said coldly.

After a short pause, Fiona nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment." Then she hurried to the CEO's office.

After a while, she came back quickly and whispered, "Come on in, please, Mr. Sterling is in."

Savannah walked straight into Dylan's office without giving Fiona another glance.

Dylan stood at the French window, tall and handsome. He looked cool in a silver-gray suit, and every detail in him was so perfect that he could still easily take her breath away.

"What business do you want to talk about with me, Miss Schultz?" He asked strangely as if he didn't believe she had come for business.

Savannah looked at him, wondering why he looked much thinner.

Too busy? Or…

The thought of Fiona outside the office made Savannah dejected.

Indulging in sensual pleasures could also cause people to become thinner.

Taking a deep breath, she put a check on the table and pushed it to his front.

"What do you mean?" Dylan frowned and glanced at the number on the check. The huge sum was enough to buy a mid-sized company.

"I must thank you for your previous kindness. You bought my parent's house in Green Bay back, and the Schultz's factory then returned them to me. You also gave me K&G. I've made a lot of money working with YSHEN while I've been running K&G, and with my grandfather's advance on my future salary, I should be able to pay you back." Savannah said in a business tone.

The check was enough to cover the market prices of Green Bay, K&G, and Schultz's factory.

Having decided to forget him, she wanted to make a clean break with him.

She now had the ability to give all that he had given her back to him.

In this way, they could make a clean break.

The atmosphere in the office cooled down. Dylan didn't say anything. An imperceptible cold gleam of loneliness passed over his handsome face and then quickly disappeared.

"Now, we are even." He said quietly.

An unrelenting throb of pain grabbed Savannah's heart. She felt she was relieved when she threw the check with those words to him, but now all that left in her heart was sad.

"Good," she took a breath and continued, "Now I want to speak on some private business."

Dylan frowned at her.

"Kevin and I are getting married next week, and we will have a simple wedding at the Century Royal Hotel. You are invited to the ceremony, Mr. Sterling." Savannah said as she handed over him an invitation card.

Dylan caught his breath, staring at the card.

"Congratulations. I'll be there." He said stiffly.

Savannah nodded and turned away.

The office became deathly silent. Dylan looked defiantly at the invitation card on the desk, his eyes flat, his face pale.

He didn't even hear the knock on the door soon after.

"Mr. Sterling?" Fiona pushed the door in after she didn't get a response for a long time.

Then she noticed something wrong with Dylan. She followed his gaze and saw the exquisite white invitation card on the desk.

It was a wedding invitation, and the names on it were… Savannah Schultz and Kevin Wills!

Their wedding was next week!

She gasped and looked up at Dylan.

"Go out. Close the door." His voice was cold and firm.

Fiona dared not ask more. With a shudder, she left quietly and closed the door.

As the door closed, Dylan hastily pulled open the drawer and pulled out a brown medicine bottle. He carried several small white pills to his mouth and swallowed them.

After several minutes, he didn't seem to be getting any better.

He brushed himself to his feet and rushed out of the door with car keys in his hands.
