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
"Why did those people help you?" After much contemplation, Savannah arrived at a decision and asked Kian as soon as he got to her.Although she couldn't hear their conversation from where she stood, she had noticed their respectful and submissive demeanor towards Kian.Why did Magistrate Cody, a powerful figure, suddenly appear at the Opening Night Gala and assist Kian in exposing her uncle? What could he gain from helping a fallen heir? Could it have been a coincidence? The more she thought of it, the stranger it felt."They were good friends with my father," Kian answered curtly without batting an eye.It was indeed true. His father had been business acquaintances with some of them, although their relationships were strictly professional. Until Savannah completely forgives him, he can't reveal his real identity to her."I see," Savannah frowned slightly, her confusion easing.It made sense now. Back then, Blackwood's family was at their prime and at the top. Their influence was powe
Meanwhile, at the same time, Kian and Savannah had just arrived at another VIP ward in the hospital. When Savannah pushed the door open, she gasped at the haggard figure on the bed."Father!"She dropped her handbag and ran to the bedside, tears cascading down her face.For five years, her father had suffered so much that he now looked like a shell of his former self. He was almost unrecognizable. At that moment, she was filled with so much guilt."I almost didn't believe it when I got the call," her mother cried, also present in the ward. "Look at what they have reduced your father to."Nathaniel felt disheartened by their tears. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but he was unable to speak."Mommy," Savannah looked down at Noah when he patted her leg. He had a frown on his face and looked like he was going to cry too.She bent and carried him. "Do you see him, Noah? That's your grandfather. Call him grandpa."She had given birth to Noah after her father was imprisoned,
