166 Chapter 166: He Couldn’t Eat Spicy Food

Savannah's grin disappeared. She was afraid that he would turn around and go to a fancy restaurant.

Those restaurants were too expensive.

"You don't like it?" she asked pathetically, worrying about the money in her card.

"Yes…" Looking at her delicate face, Dylan couldn't refuse.

Savannah's face immediately lit up with pleasure.

"Have a try!" She stuck her fork into a spicy chicken wing, handing it to him.

With a slight frown, he was a little undecided, then took it and put it in his mouth.

The spicy smell passed his throat and made him cough.

"Does it matter? Can't you eat spicy food?" Savannah jumped out of her seat and hurried to pat him on the back.

"That's all right." He frowned and waved. How could he tell her that he couldn't even eat spicy food? It was so embarrassing.

"Why don't we order some light food?"

"No." Dylan shook his hand and said firmly.

***

After lunch, Dylan drove Savannah to the Sterling group and asked a bodyguard to take her back to Beverly Hills.

Dylan looked after the little woman as he covered his stomach.

Garwood noticed, "what did you have for lunch, sir?"

"Mexican food," Dylan said drily.

Garwood was surprised. Wasn't Mexican food always spicy and full of peppers? Mr. Sterling hated spicy food!

Didn't he tell Miss Schultz?

Devin's apartment.

Devin stumbled into the apartment as he kissed a scantily-clad beauty in his arms.

The air was heavy with the fumes of wine in the sitting room.

"Devin, don't be so hasty… someone will see..." The woman murmured as she writhed her body.

"This is my house. Who will see us?" Devin let out a belch, grabbed her right buttock, and squeezed.

"Ahh... your wife…"

"Let her see!" Devin got impatient. "Am I afraid of her? It's enough for that bitch to land me in such a place."

After being driven out from the Sterling's house, Devin and Valerie moved back into their new apartment.

What's more, he was terribly mistreated in the company.

His uncle would leave him some face when granddad was on his back. But without the baby in Valerie, grandpa ignored him, and Dylan gave him no important job after that. He worked like a dog in the company every day.

Vice president?

Now he was a vice president in name only, but not in reality.

Grandpa was still angry, and he couldn't complain to grandpa.

It was Valerie who got him to this!

He'd been drinking for days and seldom went back home since that day.

The thought that Valerie had ruined his career annoyed Devin no end. He picked up the sexy woman and put her on the couch in the sitting room.

"What are you doing?"

Valerie shouted as she threw herself at the woman, cursing and fighting, "you hussy! Bitch! How dare you seduce my husband at my house?"

"Devin! Help!" The woman cried and hid herself.

Annoyed at the interruption, Devin staggered in front of Valerie and gave her a good cuff. "Fuck! This is my house. What if I brought her back? Is that any of your affairs? Get out of here!"

He wanted to divorce Valerie as soon as they moved out of the Sterling's house. However, he was the grandson of old Sterling, and his marriage would receive great attention from the media.

Divorce after a six-month marriage was bound to make headlines and embarrassed the Sterling. In order not to make old Sterling angrier, he must wait.

Valerie fell to the ground and hit her head on the coffee table, but she had no time to notice any pain. She held back her anger and jumped to her feet.

"Devin, I'm your wife, where do you want me to go?" She cried as she fastened herself tight to his leg.

"I don't care! My wife? Oh, I would have divorced you if I hadn't been afraid of losing my grandpa's face! You can wait to receive a divorce letter from my attorney after a time. Get out!"

Devin married her because she played a trick and got pregnant. He was concerned about the child in her belly before, but now he had no fear.

He picked her up, threw her out, and shut the door!

Valerie lay on the door, tears streaming down. An icy chill suddenly enveloped her heart.

She had no position since her child was gone.

Groans and movements of sex came from the room.

Valerie stood up, gritted her teeth in despair, and turned away.

***

The woman left after sex.

Leaning against the bed, Devin called his personal assistant.

"How is everything going in the company?"

Although Devin did not go to the Sterling group under the pretense of illness, he asked his assistant to keep an eye on the company, especially on his uncle.

"Mr. Sterling has been working on an important project recently. It is for the future tallest building in America. I learned that the design drawing, which was made by Mr. Sterling himself, has just been worked out. He's going to show it to the major shareholders at the general meeting next week, and the project would be finalized if no problem."

Devin sat up from the bed, a serious look on his face.

He had heard about this project, which really got grandpa interested. It was said that the Sterling group was going to build the tallest building in America.

Uncle would establish another achievement for the Sterling if the project succeeded this time.

Grandpa would certainly think highly of his uncle.

In contrast, he would have no place in the Sterling.

If grandpa handed the whole group to uncle...

No. He must not see his uncle complete the project successfully.

After thinking for a little while, he ordered his assistant with a villainous smile,

"Contact the secretary fired by my uncle some days ago."

***

The next morning.

Devin was sitting in his car in front of an office building.

Miller walked out of her company, wondering what Devin came to her for.
