243 Chapter 243: She Broke The Vase Herself

Just then, footsteps on the staircase interrupted their conversation.

The sound of glass falling to the ground on the second floor startled the people downstairs.

Old Sterling, Devin, and Cooper came up together. Behind them was Dylan, who had just returned home.

Valerie, hearing the footsteps, at once drew a trace of blood on her arm with the piece of porcelain, and then she sat down on the ground, looking at Savannah in horror.

"Valerie, what's going on?" Seeing this, Devin became frightened and rushed to help Valerie up. "Are you all right?

Valerie's baby was so precious that he could not bear to lose it again!

"It's okay... Devin..." Valerie murmured as she stared in horror at Savannah. "Savannah knocked the vase off the cabinet when I passed by. Nothing. It's really nothing..."

She said nothing, but everyone could see she didn't mean anything!

She obviously meant that Savannah deliberately broke the vase, and the broken porcelain injured her.

Devin looked at the scratch on Valerie's arm. Luckily it did not hurt her belly. He heaved a sigh and looked at Savannah. "You're so careless."

Old Sterling, however, knew what temperament his granddaughter-in-law had and what character Savannah had. Obviously, he didn't believe it was done by Savannah, but he still looked at Savannah doubtfully.

"What's going on?" asked Dylan as he strode up to Savannah.

Savannah felt calm in the heart and leashed her anger, "I didn't do anything. She broke the vase herself."

"You mean that I wronged you again?" Valerie said with swift violence, "since what happened last time, I've already known I was wrong. How could I do that again? Am I so stupid? I know, I was not sensible and wronged you once, and you've been trying to revenge me. I didn't say anything just now for you to vent your anger! Well, I broke it myself, and I cut it myself, okay?" Then Valerie burst into a convulsive sob!

Fearing Valerie's emotion might affect the baby, old Sterling frowned and said, "all right, just don't hurt yourself. Stop that!"

Valerie gritted her teeth when she saw old Sterling was still partial to Savannah. She squeezed out a few tears and said in a pathetic voice, "Grandpa, it's not me, it's Savannah! She didn't really forgive me at all... She still holds the grudge toward me! Well, since Savannah doesn't want to see me, I dare not stay here, lest I should be hated. I'll go back to Rosemount Villa."

As she sobbed, she took Devin by the arm and turned to go downstairs.

Devin helped Valerie to stop.

Then old Sterling looked at Savannah. He took a deep breath and looked sorry. "Savannah... "

Savannah knew that she and Valerie couldn't stay together in the house now. Otherwise, Valerie would make a noise every day, which might affect the unborn child.

Since old Sterling couldn't see Valerie leave in the middle of the night, she herself became the one who had to leave.

Her nose stiffened, and she choked back the tears that were gushing from her eyes. "I'll go now, sir."

With that, she turned and was about to pack in the study when her hand was clasped by Dylan's long cold fingers.

"Who let you go?" Dylan asked coldly.

He could in no way see his woman be driven away in front of him.

He knew Savannah would not hurt Valerie, even if she did hurt Valerie, so what?

There was a chill that fell in his eyes. He turned, and his eyes of ice froze freezingly on Valerie. "Are you sure your cousin broke the vase? Think before you speak."

Every word chilled Valerie.

Dylan looked like a ruthless judge with the most penetrating eyes.

Valerie felt cold all over, grabbing the coat-tails, and dared not say a word. She felt that if she lied, the man in front of her would run to her and cut her throat in the next minute. If it were not for the presence of Devin and old Sterling, she was afraid that her nerves would have come apart.

She looked helplessly at old Sterling, "grandpa..."

"Dylan!" Old Sterling saw Valerie's body shaking violently and tried to stop it for the baby in her.

With a tug at Dylan's sleeve, Savannah whispered, "forget it. I really want to go back to Beverly Hills... I don't want to stay here."

She was not to compromise with Valerie; she just didn't want to make old Sterling difficult.

Besides, she was exhausted, and she felt dizzy. It seemed that her strength was slipping away from her limbs.

She didn't want to fight with Valerie here anymore.

Then Savannah turned in silence and went to her room to pack her bags.

Valerie's lips lifted slightly, her eyes shining with triumph.

The little bitch will finally go out of here.

But before Savannah opened the study door, she swayed and fell to the floor!

"Savannah!" In the cry of old Sterling and Cooper, Dylan stepped forward quickly and grabbed Savannah to his arms. The little woman was held tightly by him, her face pale and bloodless. Her long eyelashes fell down, and her eyes were closed. Obviously, she fainted.

"Cooper? Call the doctor now!" Old Sterling came to his senses and shouted.

"Yes, yes!" Cooper swallowed and ran down the stairs to make a phone call but was stopped by Dylan's growl. "No!"

Cooper turned around and saw Dylan pick up Savannah in his arms. Dylan looked coldly at Valerie and shouted in a sullen gloomy voice, "You will pay for it if something happens to her!"

Valerie trembled all over with fear.

With the little woman in his arms, Dylan quickly strode downstairs and went out of the villa!

***

The car was going down the road like an angry beast at full speed, without fear of any traffic lights.

It finally stopped at the gate of a hospital.

Dylan slammed the car door open and held Savannah in his arms carefully, marching up the steps.

Jacob, who had received the phone call, was waiting at the door with a nurse. When saw then coming, he hurriedly let the nurse put Savannah on the gurney and pushed it in.
