Chapter 69

Soon, Savanna could not find Brandon in the hall. Then, she began to look for Jim. But she found

that Jim was also missing. The project leaders of the big companies who had just followed Brandon
were nowhere to be seen.

Savanna had a bad feeling.

Justin seemed to have seen through Savanna’s thoughts. He also noticed that Brandon wasn’t in the
hall. Justin comforted Savanna, “Ms. Thompson, don’t worry. He must have gone inside to talk about
something.”

Neil was sophisticated and had long seen through Brandon’s play. He sneered, “He’s probably having
someone update him on the progress. If they don’t pass, they’ll be out. A meeting? I knew the previous
bid was just a preliminary examination, and today is the official bid review meeting.”

Hearing Neil’s words, Savanna was even more uneasy.

Fortunately, last night, Savanna stayed up late to do some work. She was prepared, but she was very
clear about the Thompson Group’s strength.

If Brandon was serious, Savanna couldn’t even get close to the Cassel Group.

People got together and drank in the hall. Behind the songs and dances, there were hidden waves of
business.

Savanna watched the people coming out of the spacious aisle one after another. They were initially
excited and happy. But now, they were dejected and left in disgrace. Savanna could no longer hold
back. She took a glass of juice from the waiter’s tray to suppress her shock.



A few hours later, just as Savanna was distracted by the wait, Jim appeared. He walked toward
Savanna with a light smile. He said to Savanna, “Ms. Thompson, it’s the Thompson Group’s turn. This
way please.”

Savanna held the files in her arms and looked at Neil and Justin. She followed jim out of the bustling
hall. The lights in the corridor were very dim. She stepped on the soft cotton carpet. She was worried
and sweating as she held the files. She was afraid.

Jim stopped at the door of a room, “Mr. Cassel is inside. Go in!”

With that, Jim left

Savanna looked up and took a deep breath. She knocked on the door. Following a cold ‘sound,’ she
entered Savanna pushed the door and entered,

As soon as Savanna entered, she saw Brandon, who had taken off his coat and was only wearing a
Savanna pushed the door and entered.

As soon as Savanna entered, she saw Brandon, who had taken off his coat and was only wearing a
white shirt, with his legs crossed. Even though he was sitting like that, he oozed charm.

Brandon was looking down at the files on his knees. He looked focused and was not disturbed by

Savanna.

They used to be so close. They were like two strangers in a strange place. It was weird.

“Mr. Cassel.”

Savanna shouted formally.

“Take a seat.”



Brandon did not look up. He seemed particularly interested in the files on his hands.

Savanna sat down and held the files on her knees with both hands. She hesitated for a moment, then
Brandon spoke first

“Ms. Thompson, you may start.”

Savanna nodded and cleared her throat. She began to talk about how she felt after visiting the south
for the past two days, as well as some ideas about the future construction of the garden.

“Finished?”

Brandon frowned.

Savanna said, “Yes.”

Brandon finally took his eyes off the files and looked at Savanna.

“Develop villas and an industrial park?”

Brandon asked. Seeing Savanna nod, he smiled.

“Have you calculated the cost?”

Brandon asked Savanna.

“Of course I did.”

If Savanna didn’t even calculate the cost, she would be an idiot.

Savanna was a little unconvinced.

“How much will it cost?”



Brandon asked lazily. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it up with a lighter.

The smoke blurred his silhouette.

“7.5 million dollars.”

It was the lowest cost price that Savanna calculated after all.

Brandon spat out the smoke and scoffed, “How long will it take to finish?”

“Three to five years.”

Savanna blurted out.

“It’s too long.”

Brandon got up from the sofa and walked to the blinds. He looked out over the rolling mountains in the
distance.

Savanna argued, “Three to five years is the fastest time to recover the cost. We have made a lot of
plans, and this is the fastest.”

Brandon turned around and looked at Savanna coldly.

“If I give it to someone else, it may be at least two years, at most three years. Savanna, in terms of

time, it is not suitable for the Thompson Group to do this case.”

“I know…”

Savanna was at a loss for what to say to fight for it.

Someone sent Savanna a message.



Savanna took out her phone and saw that the caller was Mary. The message she sent was, “Mandel
had a high fever for a long time and was cramping.”

Mary usually would not contact Savanna, and she was anxious to send a message to her, indicating
that Mandel was seriously ill.

The image of Mandel constantly twitching appeared in Savanna’s mind. She was so nervous, and her
face turned pale. She was holding the phone, and her hands lost their color.

Savanna stood up, “Mr. Cassel, I have something urgent to do. Let’s talk about this another day.”

With that, Savanna picked up the files and rushed out without saying anything,

Brandon was stunned for a while. When he recalled that Savanna looked abnormally pale, Brandon

quickly chased after her. However, Savanna was nowhere to be seen in the hallway. When he Teached
the hall, Justin and Neil had disappeared. Brandon walked out of the banquet hall, and he

inadvertently swept over the black car that was speeding out of the underground garage.

It was the car that Savanna had come over from.

Brandon looked so cold. He called Jim over and ordered coldly, “Chase after her and see what
happened. Don’t let her find out.”

“Got it.”

Jim got it and hurriedly drove to chase Savanna’s car.

Brandon had just returned to the hall. He did not see a big red luxury car behind him rush out of the
hotel and follow Jim’s car.



On the way, Savanna found an excuse to drive Justin and Neil out of the car. She drove the car by
herself and flew all the way. Two hours later, Savanna finally returned to New York. She took the
subway, turned from No. 1 to No. 2, and finally entered the hidden villa.

Mary was in tears. When she saw Savanna, she said agitatedly, “He is cramping. He has cramped
many times. He has taken a lot of medicine, but his fever never went down.”

Mary was shocked, and she had no choice but to send Savanna a message.

Savanna entered the room and saw Mandel curling on the bed. She was so sad. She rushed over and
held him in her arms. Her cheeks were tightly pressed against his face. It was very hot.

Not daring to hesitate, Savanna anxiously said to Mary, “Send him to the hospital.”

Savanna took the coat, put it on Mandel, and quickly rushed out of the door.

Mary took some children’s clothes and quickly rushed out of the villa. She was afraid that Brandon
would find out about the existence of Mandel. Savanna chose a medium-sized hospital. Cain’s friend
had shares in this hospital.

“Pneumonia.”

The doctor finished examining Mandel and began to scold Savanna.

“It wasn’t serious at first. You put him in such a state..Hurry up and get him a bottle for the
inflammation!”
