"It has nothing to do with you," Savannah responded tautly. Her face was cold with anger and she wanted nothing more for the line to move quickly so she could get out of that place.
Margaret chuckled slyly and twirled some hair strands between her fingers. "I am the bank manager. How can it have nothing to do with me?" "And I'll tell you this. People like you have no right to be here. You have no money yet you still stand in line and delay other important customers. I have the right to kick you out! Besides, everyone knows you were raped." Savannah's chest heaved with anger as she covered Noah's ears. How can this stupid woman have no regard for a child and still say such vulgar words? That too in the public! Margaret noticed her actions and rolled her eyes. With a false smile, she raised her tone, "I am only being concerned as an old coursemate. Why don't you know how to appreciate good people?" Savannah's face turned pale. That topic was a sore wound in her heart that has never healed till now but this woman airs her dirty laundry in public and still pretends to be good. "Stop harassing me!" She could only speak in a trembling voice. She wanted nothing to do with Margaret but the latter won't let her go so easily. Her voice got even louder as she snorted, "Savannah Wilson, has your brain suffered a trauma from getting kicked out of your family?" Gasps rang out in the crowd as people murmured and pointed at Savannah. "So she is that Savannah Wilson?" "Yes, I heard she was the campus beauty of Valoria National University before that incident." "She was kicked out of the family along with her parents. She is really pitiful." Their voices were judging, accusing and sharp like arrows making Savannah's beautiful face drain of colors. "You bad, old aunt, don't bully my mommy!" Just as Savannah was at a loss, Noah shouted fiercely in his childish voice and pointed his short, chubby fingers at Margaret. "Mommy?" Margaret's eyes shone with a wicked glint as she finally took notice of Noah. She gasped and covered her lips with her beautifully painted fingers. "Savannah, not only were you violated, you actually gave birth to a bastard? What a shameless slut!" As she spoke, she looked down at Noah. Seeing the boy's impeccable facial features and his beautiful eyes which were almost similar to that of his mother, except they were filled with some kind of coldness that a young child shouldn't possess, she felt incredibly uncomfortable. "You little bastard... Your father is a scum. There is no doubt you will grow up to be like him someday..." Before she could finish, Noah suddenly rushed up to her and bit her arm hard. She screamed and slapped the boy so hard, handprints appeared on his cheeks like before. That was it. Savannah lost her temper and retaliated, slapping Margaret. The latter was stunned for a second but she quickly recovered and attacked. Thus, a brawl broke out and the bank hall was in chaos. "What's going on here?" A potbellied and greasy looking middle-aged man rushed out of the office behind the counter. Margaret who had a bigger stature than Savannah was having the upper hand in the fight. But when she saw the man, her attitude changed and she began to shed crocodile tears. "Director Jones, please save me!" She ran to him, her hair in a disheveled state and face red from the tears. The director looked at her ample breasts which were slightly on display and his face darkened. "What exactly happened?" He asked her softly. "This woman was deliberately causing trouble and disrupting the order on the line. I tried to advise her but she wouldn't listen and even..." She let her voice trailed off and cried harder. Her pitiful appearance would definitely arouse the sympathy of many. But everyone witnessed what had happened. Although they felt contemptuous at her faux attitude, no one was willing to come forward to tell the truth. "Are you the one causing trouble?" Director Jones turned to Savannah with an unfriendly expression. But when he saw her appearance clearly, his eyes widened and shone. Her white skin, captivating beautiful face and her entire body exuded a charm no man could pass on. She could even pass for a famous actress with her graceful figure. "She started it first and hit my son," Savannah was oblivious to his lewd thoughts. At that moment, director Jones thought even her voice sounded seductive. He scanned her body greedily and licked his lips. Then he cleared his throat and faked a serious tone, "According to the rules of our bank, anyone causing trouble will be handed over to the security team." Hearing this, Savannah's face changed slightly. She only wanted to check out this bank card, not cause trouble! "But since this is your first offense, I'll give you a chance," Director Jones' tone turned suggestive. "Come to my office and explain the situation clearly to me. Then I'll consider not holding you responsible." Margaret who was standing by the side turned red with anger. She has been having an affair with the director for a long time which explains how she quickly got to a high position within a short time. So how could she not know what the director was trying to do? Savannah, this bitch! She won't let this happen. "Director," She quickly stepped forward. "This does not seem appropriate. Everyone knows you are kind hearted but the CEO is coming for an inspection today. If he hears of this..." She didn't complete her words but director Jones understood what she meant perfectly. "I suggest we just send her to the cops. What do you think?" Seeing that she had gotten his attention, she deliberately brushed her chest against his body. Although director Jones was unhappy knowing that she was subtly threatening him, he thought to himself that he would deal with her later and cautiously since she knows many of his secrets. So he nodded, "Of course. I was only confused for a minute. Security! Take this woman away." "Mommy... I'm scared..." Noah trembled slightly. He was only a child. Savannah held him tightly but her eyes were filled with despair as two security guards charged towards them. BANG! Suddenly, the bank doors opened with a loud noise.All eyes turned to the entrance immediately. At the same time, a sharp and piercing sound resounded in the air.PLOP!"Argh!" the security guards let out heart-wrenching screams as two ballpoint pens pierced their hands accurately and blood oozed out. They staggered back instantly.Amidst the shocked gaze of the crowd, Kian walked in."Who is he?""He looks quite familiar.""Wait!" Someone shouted. "Isn't he the same man that was involved in that sex scandal with Savannah?""Yes, that's him. Why is he here?""I even attended his wedding banquet with the Sinclair's daughter," someone whispered amongst the crowd."Uncle..." The little boy shrank in his mother's arms and sobbed out.Kian felt a tinge of pain in his heart and tried to comfort him, "Don't cry... I'm here now. I'll—""Why are you here?" Savannah glared at him, trembling with anger.She wants to live the rest of her life with dignity especially in front of this man that ruined her life. But this bastard always somehow manage
Greg knew if he didn't do something, not only would these two meet their end, they would also drag him down with them! So—PLAK!He lifted his palm fiercely and gave director Jones another hard slap. The latter was still shouting self-righteously and was caught unaware."Sir—" He fell to the ground in confusion and held his cheek. Before he could speak further, he was barraged with kicks from all directions till he was all beaten up and could barely speak.Seeing this scene, Margaret's face turned pale and her knees wobbled in fear till she knelt.Then Greg wiped off the sweat from his brows and went to Kian. "Mr Blackwood, what should I do with these two?"Everyone was stunned. Greg had just addressed Kian respectfully, in an almost submissive tone. They looked at Kian with one question on their minds;'Who is this man?'Savannah was equally surprised. She looked at Kian with a complex gaze. To her, he was the man that ruined her life and violated her. A complete scumbag.But twice n
Upon hearing this, Savannah wavered a bit but there was still a bit of reluctance. Anthony must have felt this because his smile disappeared and he reminded her. "Your father's crime isn't something that can be easily overlooked with the help of a good attorney. We are talking about murder here. There are many people involved." Savannah's fingers clenched around the phone. No matter what they all say, her father is innocent. He doesn't deserve this. Anthony's intentions towards her aren't pure and he wouldn't do something like this without asking for something in return. But at that moment, Savannah decided if this could save her father, she would do anything. Kian, who was behind her, frowned. His expression turned cold as he had just everything the bastard said over the phone. Nathaniel Wilson had already been rescued from the prison so there was no way Anthony could help Savannah. He wanted to tell her just this. "Savannah—" "Shut up!" Before he could even start, he w
Anthony's eyes roamed over her sleeveless dress that draped elegantly over her body and accentuated her curves. His heart raced with desire. If his plan goes well, he will have this beauty writhing under him tonight. Just the thought of this was enough to make him feverish. He raised his palms and clapped. Right before everyone, a staff member stepped forward with a designer bag. The female socialites immediately recognized it as part of a recently released collection, priced over $100,000 for pre-order. "Here," Anthony collected the dazzling handbag and stretched it to Savannah. "This is for you... Will you be my girlfriend?" He didn't even get down on his knees. In his own opinion, the pianist he hired and this bag was already more than she was worth. Every other lady would jump at this opportunity to be his companion. "Isn't that Savannah Wilson from that middle class family? The one that was involved in that scandal. Didn't her family even kick her out after that incident
"Oh, so he is that man involved in that scandal!""How can he still show his face here? Has his brain stopped working?""What a shameless scum!""Is the standards of Horizon Gallery dropping to the extent that anyone can just waltz in?"The crowd's voices grew louder, pointing fingers and openly criticizing. Savannah’s face turned paler with each word, her eyes reddening with anger and humiliation. She turned to Kian with a fierce look."Who is your woman? If Anthony doesn't have the right to covet me, who does? You?"Her voice shook with fury as she stepped closer, her words harsh and filled with bitterness."Do you still not understand? You ruined my life! I am at the lowest point today all because of your actions. My mother can’t show her face in society, and my father is locked up. It is all because of you, bastard!"Kian’s jaw clenched, but he remained silent. Savannah’s tears mixed with her anger as she wiped them away, staring at him defiantly."Anthony is going to save my fath
Before anyone could react to his words, Edward stood up with great difficulty and flared up. "What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you spurt out this rubbish here? Guards! Get this man out of here!"He was agitated and frightened. How could this lowlife know about Anthony's connection to Nathaniel's predicament? They hid their tracks so well so how did he find out?Kian squinted at him; only a fool wouldn't see that he was acting like he was trying to hide something.His lips curled up coldly and he sneered, "Shut your mouth! All an old fool like you does is to bite the fingers that feed him!""What are you talking about?" Savannah pulled him, causing him to look down at her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock and disbelief."Why don't you ask your good uncle over there or your soon-to-be boyfriend? They will explain to you clearly how they worked together and put your father behind bars!"Edward's face turned ashen as all eyes redirected to him. He grew more anxious a
Now, Anthony was utterly humiliated. His face was darker than the night sky and he could have sworn he heard some people from the crowd laughing at him. He might be the prestigious second son of Gray's family. In front of Magistrate Cody, he was nothing! Cody was unconcerned with this and directly went to the Wilsons. He pointed at Kian and said, "I have proof that all his accusations are true." The hall was in uproar at his words. They barely had time to comprehend his words when he added, "I had my people investigate the incident that occurred years ago. Nathaniel was completely innocent. The employees did die while working on his project, but it wasn’t his fault. The real issue was that someone greedily siphoned off most of the funds and provided substandard infrastructure, which ultimately led to their deaths. It was all due to Edward and Anthony's manipulation." A shocked hush fell upon the hall. When Kian said it earlier, no one believed him. But this was Magistrate Cod
Anthony had second thoughts and wanted to salvage the situation. He forced a small smile at Maximilian Hart. "I tried to contact you, but your assistant informed me you were out of the country. I couldn't propose to my girl without a pianist as planned so I hired someone with only a little bit of skills. I shouldn't have done this. I'm sorry." He bowed slightly with a sincere expression, but both Maximilian Hart and the con artist sneered. The former was indeed out of the country on a tour but all it took was one phone call from that person for him to return. Meanwhile, the con artist felt disdainful at Anthony's attitude and words. He was content performing on the streets when Anthony approached him. The man was almost groveling in front of him to get him to dress and play the piano like the real Maximilian Hart. Had it not been for the promised payment which was more than he typically earned on the streets, he wouldn't have accepted. But now that the truth was exposed, this
