Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"In any case, from today on, no further investigation or visits to Olivia are allowed." With that, he turned and headed for the villa.

"Dylan! What do you mean?" Savannah ran after him, startled.

"I mean, I'm going to restrict you from going out these days! Stay here and have a good rest. Don't get involved with Olivia's case anymore!" Dylan's tone was decisive.

"Fuck! Why?"

With longer legs, Dylan walked much faster. Savannah hastened her steps to keep up with his stride, and she almost bumped into his chest when he came to an abrupt halt and turned around. Before she knew, he took her chin in his hand and tilted her head up to reach her eyes, "why? Just because I'm your man! You must obey! You remember our agreement, don't you?"

Staggered by his overbearing words, Savannah clenched her teeth.

That's right.

When he was in a good mood, he would allow her to visit Olivia and even help her to get the surveillance video for the case. But he could also change his mind at any time.

She had no power to decide anything as his little pet!

"Over? Then get in!" Seeing her silence, Dylan turned and walked toward the villa. Savannah's nose twitched and a sudden feeling of faintness which she had had a few days ago came to her again. She hadn't had dinner yet, but she felt like fetching up and nearly fell down. Fortunately, she balanced herself by leaning one arm against the flower wall beside her!

Dylan noticed that she didn't follow, stopped, and turned his head, frowning, "what's up?"

There was still that feeling of sickness in Savannah, but she did not bother to tell him. "Nothing," she said, biting her teeth and tried to draw herself up, "Dylan, you don't know what a friend means. We help each other when we meet with difficulties! Yeah, you're even so cold to your own father. You're a cold-blooded person. How do you know that?!"

At this, she bypassed him, ran back to the house ahead of him!

Dylan's eyes darkened as he looked at her back.

Not far away, Garwood just came with some official business to report, and he happened to hear their conversation just now.

After Savannah ran away, Garwood took a deep breath and walked up to Dylan. "Sir, you don't want Miss Schultz to get about this for her good, right? You're afraid that Valerie may take ruthless action against her when really annoyed." He couldn't help say that in a low voice.

Valerie managed to return to the Sterling family as the young mistress, and she must cherish it very much.

If Miss Schultz pushed her and determined to find out the evidence, Valerie would probably harm her to protect herself!

Since Valerie could murder Olivia, she would be daring to harm Miss Schultz too!

Mr. Sterling had sent bodyguards to keep an eye on Miss Schultz, and Valerie should have no chance to injure her. However, if Valerie really decided to murder her, she would always find a chance!

The only way to protect Miss Schultz was to get her out of this matter.

Obviously, that's why his young master restricted Miss Schultz's action. He wanted to protect her.

Dylan did not speak. His expression was hard to read in the pale moonlight.

"Why don't you explain it to her?" Garwood asked.

Would the explanation work?

The little woman was now in a rage, determined to find the truth and let Valerie get due punishment. In order to investigate Olivia's case and find the murderer, she was incapable of listening to anybody and didn't need his protection at all!

He was now, in her mind, cold-blooded and heartless!

"No. In short, she's not allowed to visit Olivia at the hospital these days, and she's not allowed to investigate the case." Dylan ordered and then strode toward the villa.

***

At the same time.

Devin and Valerie went back to the villa early.

After entering the porch, Devin pulled Valerie to an empty balcony on the first floor, closed the door, and looked at her coldly.

Taking a breath, Valerie understood what he wanted to ask.

"What's the whole story? Why did Savannah say that her friend's injury has something to do with you?" Devin lowered his voice.

"How do I know?" Valerie denied the truth, "maybe she still bears me a grudge and wants to pay me back by wronging me... Oh, it's really funny to say that I attempted to murder... So ridiculous..."

Before she finished, Devin put his hand around her neck and said grimly, "you can cheat others with this excuse. I don't care. But don't play the same trick with me! I know you went out late the night her friend got hurt! What did you do that night? Spit it out!"

Valerie shuddered when his gentle husband suddenly changed his face. Clutched by him, she had to admit, "yes... It was me, I pushed Olivia downstairs..."

Devin let go of her neck, looking straight into her eyes. "What the hell happened that day? Are you crazy? Why did you try to murder that woman? If you go to jail, I'll get involved! My grandpa will be furious! You --"

If it hadn't been for her pregnancy, he would plant a blow on her ear!

Valerie rolled her eyes as she rubbed her neck with a pretended grievance. Of course, she could not say the real reason for pushing Olivia down.

She sobbed and said in a pathetic voice, "Devin, it was an accident! I felt bored staying home every day, so I was out for a walk that night. When I was a little tired, I was worried about the baby and went to a nearby bar to take a break before going home. Unexpectedly, I met Olivia. You know, that girl's Savannah's best friend. She said a lot of ironic things about me, and she cursed me to have a miscarriage! I was so angry that I pushed her down impulsively, but who knew she would have been hurt badly!"

"You fool! How dare you murder people in public! If your crime comes to light, not only you are over, I would also be implicated! We've just won back grandpa's favor, but you screwed up again!" Devin's handsome face twisted with anger.

"Rest assured, it happened on the back stairs. No one saw us, and there's no monitoring. I wiped the fingerprints and traces, and I left the bar two hours later. Even now, the police haven't called me, and they've determined that Olivia had fallen down herself. No one knows! Nothing will happen!"

"No one knows? Then how did Savannah know?" Devin asked sourly.

"I don't know... Even if the surveillance at the door of the bar caught me, it should also be taken by the police, and she cannot see it... Ah! Maybe uncle helped her get the surveillance..."
