But now he planned to give his beloved treasure to Miss Schultz as her wedding present?
Charlotte was even more puzzled and jealous. She can't believe that her brother would treasure Savannah over her. She sat on the sofa in confusion, unable to speak for a long time.
"Miss Rowe... Are you okay?" The assistant asked, a little baffled.
"Nothing. Just go about your own business." Charlotte murmured, her voice abstracted.
The assistant nodded and was about to leave. After all, this was Rowe's house, and Charlotte was Lionel's sister. She could stay in any room she liked.
"Please close the door when you leave, Miss. I'll go first." With that, he left the study.
After a while, Charlotte stood up and went to the desk. She decided to call Lionel and asked him why he was so nice to Savannah. Suddenly, a brown paper bag on the tidy desk attracted her attention.
To be more exact, it was the black words on the corner of the bag that stood out well.
DNA Report.
Lionel had tested some people's DNA recently?
Who's that person? Curiosity filled her mind. She wanted to know who's DNA report it was.
Charlotte took a deep breath and put down the phone. Then instinctively, she picked up the brown paper bag, opened it, and pulled out the document inside.
On the report sheet, the names of both sides of the DNA test were showed before Charlotte's eyes. She stared at the names in bewilderment.
Joanne Cavendish and Savannah Schultz!
Why? Why did her brother perform the DNA paternity test for their stepmother and Miss Schultz?
With shaking hands, she looked down to the end impatiently.
The result showed that her stepmother and Savannah were biologically related by blood!
Charlotte gasped in disbelief.
Savannah was Joanne's daughter? How could it be?
Charlotte stared at the report in a daze. She had dimly heard from the servants that her stepmother had a family and a daughter before she married into the Rowe family, and her husband and daughter died in a car accident.
Joanne's daughter did not die?
Lionel had doubted that Savannah was Joanne's daughter, so he collected their samples and performed the DNA paternity test. Though the result disclosed the secret, he decided to hide it for the peace and harmony of the Rowe family.
Finally, Charlotte calmed down and accepted the fact that Savannah was Joanne's daughter.
Oh, so her rival for Dylan's love was actually her sister?
But was that fair? Why should Lionel help Savannah because he pitied her? Why should she give her beloved man to Savannah because she was the daughter of their stepmother?
Knowing the secret, Charlotte felt even angrier.
Then a thought popped into her head.
She remembered that the girl who saved Dylan from a fire looked like Savannah.
Savannah was Joanne's daughter.
When connected the two events…Charlotte took a deep breath and had a guess.
Maybe Savannah had come to Chicago to look for her mother in the Rowe's house and saved Dylan when the fire broke out in the house next door?
Otherwise, it couldn't be such a coincidence!
Was it possible that the girl Dylan had been looking for was Savannah?
But... it's impossible to forget such a big thing. Why did Savannah have no recollection at all of that day?
Charlotte could not understand what it was all about, but she had an idea.
Now the only way to stop the wedding was that she became the girl who saved Dylan! A vicious plan flooded her head. She had to act quickly before Dylan married Savannah.
According to what she had overheard that day, the one Dylan most concerned about was the girl who had saved him. He wanted to marry Savannah not because he loved Savannah, but because Savannah looked like that girl.
Savannah would become nothing to him if his savior was finally found.
Charlotte's face lit up with emotion as she thought of this. She took a breath, placed the DNA report back on the desk, and left the study quietly.

The arrangement for the wedding ceremony had been properly arranged.
Savannah was pregnant at present, so there was only a wedding banquet after the ceremony, and their honeymoon was deferred until after the baby's birth.
The announcement of Dylan Sterling's marriage had been sent to the major media by the public relations of the Sterling group. The good news would be made public at the wedding banquet.
Savannah would be sent to her house in Green Lake the night before the wedding, and the next day, the Sterling family would drive her to the wedding area from Green Bay. In this way, people would not say anything about Savannah's background.
Savannah had no opinion on the arrangement. This was her first marriage, of course, and she had no good ideas about it. When she wanted to help, old Sterling said that all she had to do was to take good care of herself for the wedding.
Dylan was very busy too. He checked the list of guests in person and made sure that all the important business partners of the Sterling group had received the invitations. What's more, the business of the company kept him out late these days, and there was no time left for him to go back to the Sterling's house.
This day was a very fine day. Old Sterling had intended to ask the designer to come to the Sterling's house with the wedding dresses for Savannah to choose, but Savannah wanted to go to the wedding salon with Olivia. She had invited Olivia to be her bridesmaid in the wedding, and they could just choose the dresses together today.
