Chapter 142

A Secret

As an extension of the operation, Savanna began to feel uneasy. Her fingers were tightly twisted, and
his knuckles were exposed.

She was unable to control herself. She bent over, her ears sticking to the door. Other than the
tranquility, Savanna could only hear her pounding heartbeat.

Just as Savanna was about to rush into the operating theatre, the door opened. Savanna quickly got
out of the way. The doctor came out of the theatre and took off his mask. “The bullet almost
approaches his heart. If he was sent here a little later, he could not survive.”

“Thank… Thank you.”

Savanna said in a trembling voice.

After the operation, Brandon, who was still in a coma, was pushed to the ward.

Savanna looked at Brandon‘s pale face. Only at such a moment that Brandon was quiet. His eyes
tightly closed, blocking the darkness and ruthlessness in his eyes. He breathed evenly and didn‘t look
aggressive any longer.

Savanna did not dare to touch Brandon, so she could only sit beside him.

She did not dare to leave, afraid that Brandon would wake up and no one would give him a hand when
he needed help.

Savanna told herself that she did this not out of love. She was just returning his favor. After all, Brandon
was injured because of her.



The doctor‘s words echoed in her mind.

“The bullet almost approaches his heart. If he was sent here a little later, he could not survive.”

These words shocked Savanna and made Savanna tremble in fear.

Her presence of mind forsook her.

If Brandon really died, how would she explain it to Giselle and Mandel?

Thinking of Mandel, Savanna felt a sharp pain in her mind.

In the quiet ward, the sound of her phone entered her ears, reminding Savanna of a new message.

Savanna lowered her eyes and saw the message.

“I am Betty. If you want to know what happened five years ago, come to see me. I am in the café
opposite the hospital.”

Betty?

Savanna widened her eyes and read the message carefully. Yes, it was indeed Betty.

But Betty passed away five years ago.

So who exactly was the person who impersonated Betty?

Suddenly, another thought overturned her conclusion. What if Betty did not die?

Betty‘s death involved Winnie‘s death, and the outside world unanimously believed that both of them
were killed by Savanna.

Savanna decided to prove her innocence.



In order to go back to New York to find the real murderer, Savanna could only impersonate Stella,
Lucas‘ wife.

Savanna would not let go of any clue. Even if she was fooled, she was willing to give it a try.

Savanna held her phone and walked out of the ward.

The night was deep and dead silence reigned everywhere. In the café opposite the hospital, other than
the couple kissing each other, there was no one else.

Savanna looked around and frowned.

Ting.

Another message was sent to her phone.

Savanna lowered her head and read the message. “I saw you.”

Savanna looked around, not seeing any suspicious person. She lowered her head and sent a
message. “Where are you?”

After a few seconds, Savanna received a message. “I am in the left corner. You are familiar with my
appearance, aren‘t you?”

Savanna‘s gaze swept across the café. Sure enough, there was a delicate figure leaning against a
white railing in a hidden corner outside the café. It was a bit far away, so Savanna couldn‘t see the
woman clearly.

She only saw that the woman seemed to be wearing a beautiful dress with elegant temperament.

As she approached, Savanna finally saw the woman‘s appearance.



It was Betty.

Savanna felt her heart drop.

Betty looked at Savanna with a mocking smile. “You didn‘t expect that we would meet again in such a
way, did you?”

Savanna carefully looked Betty up and down, her face extremely ugly. After all, no one would be in a
good mood after being tricked.

“Aren‘t you dead? Betty, what the hell are you playing at?”

Betty smiled at Savanna. Her smile was beautiful, but the expression on her face was ugly.

“Of course, you want me to die. Unfortunately, I survived.”

Betty performed perfectly, but her stiff facial expression and exaggerated tone made Savanna
suspicious.

Savanna pretended to get close to Betty. As soon as she got close, she reached out and grabbed the
woman‘s face.

“Ah...”

A clear sound was heard.

Savanna pinched the fake face.

On the other hand, “Betty” screamed and buried “her” face in “her” hands.

“Raise your head.”



Savanna ordered.

Seeing that “Betty” did not listen to her, Savanna was so angry that she threatened.

“When the police come, you won‘t be able to leave.”

“Betty” wanted to run away. Savanna reached out and grabbed the collar of the dress. The dress ripped
open, revealing the black jacket inside. “Betty” raised his hand to slap Savanna. Savanna would not let
him succeed. She reached out to clasp the wrist of “Betty” and gave “Betty” a loud slap across the face.

Savanna removed the mask of “Betty“.

She saw the person‘s real appearance.

Although the man wore a pair of colorful contact lenses, from his eyes, Savanna recognized that this
man was a mixed–blood. What was his purpose for pretending to be Betty?

Savanna raised her leg and kicked the man‘s leg.

The man groaned and knelt.

Savanna raised her foot and stepped on the man‘s hand. She pressed down and said in a ruthless
voice.

“Tell me. Who are you? What are your intentions of pretending to be Betty and asking me out?”

The man cried miserably and surrendered. “I‘m not Betty. I‘m a man.”

Savanna knew that he was a man. She added strength to her feet and said, “If you don‘t tell the truth,
don‘t blame me for being rude.”



“I am Stephen.”

Stephen?

Savanna thought of this name.

All of a sudden, she was stunned. “Are you Tracy‘s foreign boyfriend?”

Stephen sighed and smiled. “It seems that you know me.”

Savanna disliked his sloppy appearance and scolded, “I don‘t care who you are. If you provoke me,
you will suffer.”

Stephen shouted, “Savanna, I just want to help you. Don‘t you want to know how you were plotted
against by someone five years ago?”

Savanna pondered over Stephen‘s words. It seemed that Stephen was someone who knew the inside
story five years ago.

She moved her feet away and clapped her hands. “Tell me everything you know. Otherwise, you can‘t
leave here today.”

Stephen got up from the ground and patted the dust off his pants.

“Betty and Winnie are indeed dead.”

“You‘re talking about nonsense.”

Savanna rolled her eyes at Stephen.

“I‘m dead too,” Stephen said.



Receiving Savanna‘s cold gaze, Stephen raised his hands and said, “Fine, I‘ll tell you everything I
know. But you have to treat me to coffee.”

Soon, Savanna brought Stephen into the café.

Soft music was floating in the café, and it was very romantic.

Stephen took a sip of coffee and licked his lips. “Tracy almost killed me. I faked my death. The police
are looking for Tracy everywhere. She is so vicious. If I didn‘t lie to her, I would be a corpse.”

Stephen loved Tracy, but at the same time, he hated her.

He loved her enchanting figure and her passionate and seductive appearance. Stephen was addicted
to Tracy. However, he hated her indifference and cruelty.

Stephen said, his eyes hazy with tears.

“Savanna, Tracy has always been a bad person. Winnie was killed by her, and so was Betty. The
reason why she wanted you to take the blame is that she wanted to break you up with Brandon. Tracy
is a perverted woman. She has always liked Brandon. She is simply a devil and a lunatic.”

Savanna‘s finger trembled as she asked.

“Did Brandon know this matter?”
