Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Chapter 470 - 470: Take Her Out

Savannah didn't expect that he refused her. Disappointed and rather upset, she looked at him without a word. Perhaps, he was more upset than her when she treated him so indifferently before.

"Nothing else? Please leave. I still have a lot of business to do." Dylan ignored her and went back to his desk.

Then he picked up and dialed the intercom. "Take Miss Schultz out."

"No, Mr. Sterling, please let me go back, I don't want to go to another company, I just want to go back to Zagreb Film..." Savannah came to her senses and rushed to his desk.

At this time, the secretary came in and stopped in front of Savannah, "Miss Schultz, please."

Savannah did not move, still looking at Dylan. She tried her best to ignore humiliation to seek Dylan's help.

"Miss Schultz, if you don't go yourself, I'll have to call the security." The secretary frowned, and half pulled Savannah out.

"One more thing," as they reached the door, Dylan ordered the secretary coldly, "notify the security, don't let her in again."

"Yes!" the secretary immediately replied.

Savannah looked back, but he didn't even give her a last glance. She knew Dylan had changed, and it had something to do with her bad treatment towards him.

Royal Villa

A silver-grey limousine stopped in front of the house, and a servant helped a tall and old lady out.

The old lady, in her sixties, looked well-preserved and elegant in a black cotton blouse and printed scarf.

On the steps, Ethan and Joanne, who had been waiting for a long time, walked forward to greet her.

"Mom, there you are!"

The old lady was Ethan's mother, Lionel, and Charlotte's grandmother, who just flew to LA from Chicago today.

"Mom, why didn't you tell us a few days in advance? I would have flown to pick you up if I had known you're coming." Ethan said helplessly as he handed his mother into the house.

"My son and my grandchildren are all here. I'm alone in Chicago and feel really bored. So I came to accompany you. Why am I unwelcome?" Granny Rowe said with a smile.

"Of course not," Ethan laughed. "Charlotte will be happy to see her grandma here." His mother loved Charlotte the most.

Joanne smiled lightly. She knew that her mother-in-law had rarely gone outside in recent years. This time, she came not just because she missed them, but that she heard about Savannah.

"Mom, you must be tired after the flight, you should have a rest first," Joanne said softly.

Accompanied by her son and daughter-in-law, Granny Rowe entered the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Where are Lionel and Charlotte?" She asked, looking around.

"Lionel's busy at the company and hasn't been back. Charlotte…" Ethan glanced hesitantly upstairs. "Charlotte isn't feeling well, and she's in her room now."

"I'll see my dear Charlotte." Granny Rowe stood up slowly and went upstairs, accompanied by a maid. She knocked on the door of Charlotte's room before she walked in.

"Charlotte, my baby, are you ill?"

Charlotte was playing on her iPad on the bed. She jumped out of bed when she saw Granny Rowe coming.

"Gramma!" She threw herself into her grandma's arms.

"My darling, what's the matter? Why do you look unhappy?" Granny Rowe immediately knew that Charlotte wasn't physically ill but mentally ill.

"Can I be glad to have another sister unexpectedly?" Charlotte pouted, and her tone was even more aggrieved.

"My dear, she's the daughter your stepmother had with her ex-husband. She has nothing to do with the Rowe family." Granny Rowe smiled and patted her granddaughter on the back.

"But mom likes her too much," Charlotte said unhappily, "Mom's solely preoccupied with her own daughter and could hardly care about me anymore. She arranged a room for Savannah in our house, and she bought a lot of beautiful clothes and asked the servant to send them to her. Even dad paid more attention to Savannah because of mom. My brother? Oh, it was he who arranged the meeting between mom and Savannah. In his mind, he owed that girl too much, and she's more important than his real sister! Now everyone in the family is partial to her!"

Charlotte felt worse as she spoke. She buried herself in her grandmother's arms and began to cry.

"Don't be silly. Anyway, you're the only daughter of your father. I love you best!" Granny Rowe hugged her granddaughter as she comforted her.

"Besides my family, Savannah also wants to take Dylan away from me..." Charlotte sobbed.

"You mean…" Granny Rowe was surprised.

"She's Dylan's ex-wife..." Charlotte murmured.

"You said the woman who had given Dylan a baby and then disappeared... is Savannah?" Granny Rowe knew about her granddaughter's crush on Dylan, and she had heard about that woman.

Charlotte nodded with tears in her eyes.

Granny Rowe took a breath. The world was so small that the two girls were romantically involved with the same man.

"Dylan couldn't go steady with me because of Savannah. Three years later, when he almost forgot her, she suddenly reappeared, as his wife, the mother of Kaiden... How can I compete with her? Now my parents and brother all dote on her, but she still wants to take away the man I love… Grandma, I can't be reconciled..." Charlotte burst into tears.

Granny Rowe patted her granddaughter on the shoulder and said with a determined tone, "she's just a bastard. She can't take anything from you. Don't worry, grandma's here. I'll help you."

The Sterling Group

Garwood hung up the phone and knocked on the door of the CEO's office.

"Sir, old Mrs. Rowe called and invited you to have dinner at the Royal Villa this weekend."

"Old Mrs. Rowe?" Dylan gave a slight frown.

"Yes." Garwood paused and whispered, "Old Mrs. Rowe hasn't been out of town for many years. This time she came to LA because she heard that Mrs. Rowe had found her daughter."

He wanted to know the reason why the Old Mrs. Rowe invited him.
