Chapter 453 - 453: Bad Luck Again?

The indifference on Dylan's face showed his attitude.

Old Sterling sighed again.

"I heard from Louis that Savannah's dating another man... and she's leaving in a few days. What're you thinking? Just let her go abroad again with that man?"

"If she really wants to go, I can't stop her. Even if I can leave her, I can't dominate her heart." His voice was as cold as snow, echoing in the big room.

"Of course you can stop her! She's Kaiden's mother and your legal wife. You can't just watch her leave with another man..." Old Sterling said with anxiety.

Dylan closed the notepad and stood up, took out a folded paper, and threw it on the coffee table in front of him.

Old Sterling picked up the paper and unfolded it, startled.

It was a divorce certificate.

"Dylan, you.. you got a divorce?"

"Yeah," Dylan replied dryly, "it doesn't matter to me what she's going to do."

Old Sterling lapsed into silence.

Savannah became busier when the date of her departure was certain. Apart from packing, she sometimes went out to buy gifts for her classmates, teachers, and neighbors in Milan.

Three days before leaving, she got up early and opened the curtains. It was a cloudy day and more likely going to rain. However, the bad weather couldn't remove her enthusiasm for shopping.

There was a big sale in the Fashion Center today. She was going to buy some gifts and chose a bracelet for her roommate.

She got a call from Kevin before she went out.

"Shopping day again? Well, you had seldom gone shopping in Italy in the last few years." Kevin laughed.

He was right. The small town that she lived in did not have many recreational facilities. She then studied Design in Milan, where there were fewer super malls, and the commerce there was not as developed as in LA. Now she came back to the commercial city, and surely, she would satisfy her shopping d.e.s.i.r.e before she left.

What's more, she had got some salary after working in Zagreb for a month, and she didn't need to spend Kevin's money anymore.

"Yeah, I'll go to see you after shopping," Savannah said with a smile.

"Shall I go with you?" The plaster casts on Kevin's leg were removed. Although he still needed to recuperate, he was able to walk a few steps himself. He felt a little sorry for not doing his duty as a boyfriend when he could not accompany her every time she went out shopping.

"No, you're just a little better. Have a good rest."

"Oh, you'd better take an umbrella. The weather report said we'll have scattered showers today. If it rains, call me after you finish shopping. It's hard to find a taxi on a rainy day."

"Okay, I have to go." Savannah smiled and hung up.

She took a taxi and got off at the Fashion Center.

After the shopping, Savannah walked out of the last store with lots of bags. As Kevin had predicted, it began to rain.

She didn't want to bother Kevin to pick her up. He walked with difficulty now, so it would be too much trouble for him to go out. What if he fell down again on a rainy day?

She called a private car from Uber, which was famous for its cab booking service. This made it convenient for those who had not yet bought a car.

She waited in the shopping mall and went out at the appointed time.

The road dissolved in the heavy rain. Savannah took up her umbrella and walked to the roadside. A gray car came towards her and stopped. She peered at its plate numbers through the rain but could barely see it clearly.

Was it the car she called?

A young man wearing a cap got off the car with an umbrella.

"Excuse me, did you call an Uber?"

"Yeah," Savannah nodded.

"Please get in. May I help you with your things?" The man glanced at the bags in her hand.

"No, thanks." Savannah smiled. The service of Uber drivers was really good.

After Savannah got in, the man started the engine and drove into the rain.

Halfway through, the car parked at a flower bed when the rain had almost stopped.

"What's the matter?" Savannah wrinkled her brows.

"I'm sorry, there's something wrong with the car. I'll call a serviceman from the garage ahead. Just wait in the car for a while." The man pressed his cap and got out of the car with an umbrella.

Bad luck again? Savannah let out a sigh and had to wait in the car.

A few minutes passed, but the man didn't return.

Just then, a black car screeched to a standstill next to her. Three men came down with umbrellas and strode straight to the car she was in.

One of them knocked the window hard at her side.

"Savannah, open the door!"

Through the car window, Savannah noticed the one knocking on the window was a young gentleman. He was wearing a fine gray suit, tall and handsome, like a male model. Behind him were two strong men in black suits.

How did the gentleman know her name?

She was even more surprised when she felt the man was a little familiar. But she could not quite place him.

Was he someone she knew three years ago?

The man seemed to be very anxious when he saw that she did not move.

"Savannah, open the door and get off first! Hurry up!" He shouted.

Savannah reacted and reached for the door handle, only to find that the door was locked!

The driver did it? Why did he do that? Was he trying to get her stuck in the car?

She broke into a cold sweat.

But whatever the driver was trying to do, he was certainly up to no good. And the man out the window was trying to save her.

Out of the car, the man realized that she could not open the door, his look turning shaken. He turned and said something to his men and then gestured to Savannah, motioning her to sit back.

Savannah, aware that they were trying to smash the window, swallowed and retreated to the other corner with her back to the window, covering her head with her arms.

At the crush of the window-glass, the car trembled slightly.

Lionel instructed his men to take Savannah out of the window carefully and let one of them helped her to his car first. Then he looked at the car gravely.

"Check the car. Be careful."
