Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Sorrow, grief, regret, and despair gradually took her.

She shouldn\'t have gone out with his coat that night. If she hadn\'t seen her husband talking to Donna, she wouldn\'t have forced him to break up with that woman, which got him cornered, and finally decided to divorce her.

"Anybody? Help Ms. Sterling back to that house! Susan, you have a good rest in that house these days. Don\'t come out. The follow-up of the divorce will be handled by the lawyer. You don\'t have to show up." Old Sterling was also very sad to see her like this. Although he was angry with what she had done, she was his daughter, after all!

Susan didn\'t speak. She stood up and walked out of the room like a ghost.

Old Sterling looked at his daughter\'s back and sighed again.

For Susan, Savannah didn\'t feel sympathy; it\'s her comeuppance. She had damaged other people\'s happiness and had done so many fuck things to her again and again. A divorce was already too good for her.

But old Sterling was innocent. He shouldn\'t bear moral suffering at his age.

She knew that old Sterling was still worried about Susan\'s state, but she didn\'t know how to comfort him, "sir, rest assured, it\'s just like a lovelorn thing, Susan may feel the pain for a few days, but she will be fine in the future."

"But Susan…she\'s different from other people… I\'m afraid that…" old Sterling sighed and closed his mouth when seemed to realize what he had said.

"What...?" Savannah was puzzled. What did old Sterling mean? Is Susan different from other people?

"Savannah, I will go back to the room and have a rest first. You\'re on your own." Old Sterling was so exhausted after Susan made such a scene.

"Okay." Savannah could not ask more questions. She stood up and watched old Sterling leave.

The couple\'s divorce was handled quietly and quickly by the lawyer from the Sterling group.

Within a few days, they divorced.

Susan was depressed after the divorce and spent most of her time in the small white building. She sometimes went out alone, and nobody knew where she went.

Old Sterling would like to see her drive away from her sorrows by going out, so he did not stop her.

One evening, when Savannah had just finished dinner with old Sterling, her cell phone rang. She picked it up, and it was a call from Olivia.

"Savannah, Donna\'s leaving LA a few days later. She wants to see you before she leaves. Are you free?"

Savannah had long wanted to talk to Donna, too, so she quickly agreed and set up a meeting place and time. "Sure, see you later."

After hanging up, she said to old Sterling, "Sir, I have something to do with my friend. Can I go out for a while?"

"Go ahead," old Sterling smiled, "you\'ve spent so many days with me, and it\'s time to get some fresh air, lest Dylan complains that I mistreat you. Cooper will ask a driver to take you out."

"No," Savannah quickly said, "I\'ll take a taxi there. It\'s convenient."

"Take a taxi? Do you take a taxi or the subway every time you go out? Didn\'t Dylan arrange you a car or a driver?" Old Sterling frowned a little as if his daughter-in-law wasn\'t well treated.

"I have a driver in Beverly Hills. Besides the driver, Dylan\'s arranged several bodyguards for me... I\'m just not used to being followed in and out." Savannah busily explained.

Old Sterling, seeing Savannah insist, nodded and said, "okay, if you can\'t find a taxi when it\'s too late, call back, and Cooper will send a car to pick you up."

"Fine, thank you, sir," said Savannah sweetly, and went upstairs to change.

***

In the same cafe, Olivia was already there, sitting in the window seat.

Olivia had apparently known what happened about Donna.

She never thought her distant cousin had suffered so bitterly. It distressed her when she knew Donna had been assaulted because of Susan and forced to marry a ruffian.

Afraid of humiliation and shame, Donna married out of town, so no one knew.

Henley was Donna\'s, first love…

Everything caught her unprepared.

"Susan\'s so hateful! That bitch! I will avenge my cousin if I see Susan again!" Olivia hit her fist on the table in anger.

"Henley has divorced her. She\'s like the walking dead every day. That\'s bad enough." Savannah pacified her.

After they chatted for a while, a pretty figure appeared at the door of the cafe. "Olivia!"

Savannah looked and saw Donna.

Donna came in her gentle ways and said hello to Savannah.

"Donna, Savannah, you chat, and I\'ll go first." Olivia knew they wanted to talk alone, waving her hand before she left.

Donna sat opposite Savannah, silent for a few seconds, and Savannah offered to take the lead.

"Donna, I\'m sorry. That night… I used Henley\'s phone… It\'s me who sent you the message to ask you to go to that house."

Even if Donna hadn\'t come for her, she wanted to say sorry to Donna.

She\'s just inconvenient to see Donna when she lived in the Sterling\'s house during this period.

Donna, of course, already knew it. With a gentle smile, she said, "that\'s all right. In fact, if you did not expose it, Henley may live a depressing life with no self-esteem, like a dog, forever. What I had suffered... the pain, the grudge, probably will never be known to anyone else."

"Olivia said you\'re leaving here. Are you going home? Because of Susan? Don\'t worry, old Sterling\'s very angry with what she did, and I believe she should not dare to hurt you again." Savannah couldn\'t help saying.

Donna should be afraid that Susan would retaliate if she stayed in LA. After all, Susan referred herself to her father\'s power and influence and could kill Donna easily.

Donna shook her head, taking a deep breath. "It\'s not completely like that. Though LA is prosperous and rich, it\'s not my hometown. This time, Henley will go back to our home city together. He said he was tired here, and he decided to go back to live a new life, start a new business, and make up for me. I refused him to follow me, after all, I\'m already a single mother, not worthy of his treatment, but he persisted…"

Savannah sighed. Henley and Donna was originally a young couple who loved each other. It was Susan who ripped them apart by power.
