Chapter 423 Fury of Savannah
Chapter 423 Fury of Savannah
Zachariah turned around.
Savannah wiped away her tears and looked stiffly at Mrs. Chambers. “Savannah, the driver will drive you back to your house after the party. Your father and I will pick you up back home here.”
“Mom, so you insist to send your own daughter away for that woman, right?”
“Savannah, I have to do it this way for your good.”
“Mom, I love you very much, and I am willing to take good care of you. But I hate you now because you should eject me for another woman.” Savannah cried more loudly. “You let me get out! Ok, I now get out of here. You’d better leave me alone to rot.”
Mrs. Chambers felt a dull pain in her chest.
“Mom, if you still love me, let me stay.” Savannah embraced one last bit of hope.
Mrs. Chambers sat on the bed, breathing heavily.
Zachariah patted her on the back with worried. “Mom, are you okay?”
Mrs. Chambers waved her hand, but insisted, “Zachariah, you drive your younger sister back to her house after the party. After all, it’s dark, and it’s dangerous that she comes back alone.”
Zachariah thought about it and finally nodded.
“Mom, I see. Don’t worry.” Zachariah said.
Mrs. Chambers took a breath, and the pain in her chest gradually subsided.
At the end of the party, Zachariah and Mr. Chambers escorted the guests out. On the way back, Mr. Chambers asked, “Zachariah, where’s your younger sister?”
Zachariah, apparently reluctant to talk about Savannah, casually said, “Upstairs.”
Mr. Chambers sighed and said, “Zachariah, Ophelia and Tommy are fine now. Can’t you forgive your sister? You and your sister are very affectionate since childhood, and you are indulgent to her. Can’t you forgive her this time?”
Zachariah asked solemnly, “Dad, would you like to forgive someone who wanted to kill your wife and child?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Mr. Chambers was gasped.
“Dad, I can be kind to Savannah and indulge her, but she cannot touch my bottom line. Obviously, she did. So it is not a problem of forgiving.”
Mr. Chambers raised his hand, patting his shoulder, and said, “But she is your sister after all.”
Zachariah looked over at the large villas nearby, brightly lit. In one of the rooms were living his wife and baby, whom he had almost lost before long. He cannot taste the feeling once again. With Savannah as the culprit, he cannot forgive her.
“Dad, I’ll forgive her perhaps when she really realizes what she has done is wrong.” Zachariah backed down, but in his eyes, he didn’t think that Savannah will realize her fault.
Mr. Chambers was silent.
They entered the hall together. Ophelia happened to come down from upstairs, and smiled while seeing the father and the son.
“Dad, Zachariah, the guests are gone?” Ophelia walked up to them and asked.
Ignoring his father, Zachariah reached out and stroked Ophelia’s cheek. “Why not go to have a rest?”
“It’s early.”
When the three were having a talk there, Savannah and Mrs. Chambers came downstairs.
Seeing Ophelia have a nice talk with her father and brother, Savannah’s eyes glistened with resentment.
She rushed to Ophelia and shouted, “Ophelia, are you proud? My mother and brother are all supporting you and they even eject me out of this house. I tell you, I will take everything back that belongs to me one day. At that time, I’ll let you get out of this house.”
Ophelia’s eyes were filled with doubts.
“Savannah, what are you talking about?” Ophelia puzzled.
“Ophelia, you...”
“Savannah, that’s enough!”
Holding Ophelia behind him, Zachariah gave Savannah a stern look, as if he would mass her up if she said something more.
Savannah sipped her lip, afraid of being too pussy in front of Zachariah.
Ophelia tugged at Zachariah, indicating that he should calm down. She stepped forward, and said in a sincere tone, “Savannah, if there is any misunderstanding between us, you can speak it up. I promise
that your brother will do nothing. Please speak it up if you have something inside. I am not willing to break this happy family just because of us.”
Savannah calmed down and instinctively checked Zachariah’ face.
Ophelia unconsciously stood before Zachariah and blocked him, saying gently, “Savannah, if you have a problem with me, you can say it.”
Mr. Chambers coughed and said, “Ophelia, it’s late. Savannah has to work tomorrow. Zachariah will take her home and they can have a talk on the way.”
Ophelia got even more confused.
“Dad, you and mom ever said that Savannah was traveling with her friends, but now she’s going to work? Is there something you three keep from me?
Mr. Chambers coughed again and nudged Zachariah with his elbow.
Zachariah got the message and said, “Ophelia, it’s a long story. Before, Savannah said that her friends have gone to work. So she followed suit and pleaded mom to arrange her a job. Mom and dad didn’t agree in the beginning and said that they can get her a sinecure. But she said she can learn nothing in our family company, because the employees will take care of her. So she rent a house and got a job herself. This’s it.”
Ophelia doubted. “Savannah, is that it?” She asked Savannah.
Savannah saw the irony of it all.
She burst out laughing, uncontrollably.
Ophelia glanced back at Zachariah, who frowned. He pushed Savannah, “Savannah, enough.”
Savannah stopped laughing and gave Ophelia and Zachariah a half-smile. “You haven’t told her the truth even now. Are you afraid she’s too weak to handle it or are you protecting your sister?” She sneered.
