Chapter 511 - 511: Please Show Some Respect

Before, Savannah didn't come to Royal Villa even if she wanted to see her.

What's more, their last meeting broke up in discord because she mentioned the Rowe family.

So, Joanne was very happy that Savannah came to Royal Villa to see her today and worked for a whole afternoon to prepare dinner for her daughter and grandson.

Savannah took her fork without looking into Joanne's eyes.

If her mother knew that she came to the Rowe family's house today to give the Rowe family a final blow...

How would she feel?

"I like mommy's favorite dishes, too!" Kaiden's little boy's voice sounded in time to break the silence.

"Is there anything you don't like to eat?" Savannah recovered and joked.

Joanne laughed.

Kaiden also knew that his grandmother was not in good health, and it was not easy for her to make such a full table of dishes. He tucked into the food and insisted on the principle of not wasting.

Joanne never thought that she would have the chance to cook for her own daughter and grandson one day. She smiled in satisfaction when she watched Kaiden eat, but then as if she recalled something, her eyes flashed with sadness.

Although she didn't say anything, Savannah knew that her mother was thinking of her father.

Mom was thinking -- if the only dad were still here.

Unfortunately, dad would never be able to experience this kind of family happiness.

The thought pained Savannah. Her heart was stiffened, and she didn't hesitate about what she was going to do tonight.

After the meal, Kaiden felt his stomach and said sweetly, "grandma's food is so delicious."

Joanne knelt down lovingly and rubbed her grandson's stomach. "Do you feel bloated?"

Savannah took the opportunity and said, "Kaiden, why don't you go out to the garden with grandma? You will feel better after a short walk. But don't make grandma too tired."

Kaiden nodded quickly.

"Well, I'll take the boy for a walk. Ask a servant for help if you need anything." Joanne said to Savannah softly before she led her grandson out of the villa.

Savannah saw them leave, taking a deep breath.

A servant came forward and asked, "Miss Schultz, would you like some coffee or fruits?"

"No. Please leave me alone. Go on with what you're doing." Savannah sent the servant away and quietly went to the second floor.

She had been to the house several times, and she had no trouble finding Lionel's study.

This was his home office. His personal computer, safes, and other secret doc.u.ments were all kept in his study.

If the evidence was really with him, it was probably in this room.

Fortunately, the study door was unlocked.

Holding her breath, she turned on Lionel's computer.

A power-on password was required. She was not surprised but took out the USB flash disk the private detective prepared for her and inserted it into the interface.

For private investigators who had to master a variety of skills, this way of password cracking was not difficult.

There was a special hacker program on the USB flash drive. Insert it into a PC, and the program would automatically unlock the computer.

As expected, the computer went into safe mode after half a minute.

She hurriedly began to search the hard disk. But after a long time, she couldn't find any information about the private transactions between the Rowe group and the senior official.

She was a little discouraged but not reconciled. She searched the study again but found nothing.

Perhaps, such important evidence wasn't kept in his study?

Or maybe the private detective made a mistake. Did Lionel leave no evidence of that?

Time went by...

She knew that she had been in the study for a long time. Kaiden and her mother would probably come back soon. If she didn't go downstairs now, the servant might come to find her.

She turned off the computer in frustration. When she stood up, she seemed to kick in something under the desk!

Looking sideways down, she found a safe under the desk.

Could it be…

She quickly crouched down and took out the spare universal key from the private detective.

This key was specially made to open safe.

With a sound in the lock, the safe opened.

There was a big white folder inside.

Holding her breath, she took it out and opened it. A roll of tape and some photos were in the folder.

In a photo, two men were sitting on opposite sides of a table in a box, talking.

The man on the left was about 40-year-old, slightly fat, and looking very official.

And the other man was Lionel!

She had seen the photos of the senior official who was in private contact with the Rowe group from the private detective, and she knew she got what she wanted!

It was too surprising. She quickly stuffed the photos and tape into her bag and closed the safe.

She was about to leave the study when she heard footsteps and two men's voices coming from outside the door.

"Sir, are you really okay to discharge ahead of schedule? You should stay in the hospital for a few more days…"

"Now the Rowe group's in lots of trouble. I have no time for more rest."

Lionel was back?

Savannah gasped. Obviously, he was coming towards the study. She would be caught on the spot if she walked out now, and the evidence might be taken away from her... At that time, she would have no chance to approach the Rowe family again.

As Lionel's footsteps approached, there came another rapid step outside the door.

"Lionel," called a low and familiar cold voice.

Savannah's eyes opened wide. Dylan? Why was he here?

Dylan's appearance apparently stopped Lionel's steps. "Dylan? What are you doing here?"

"Where's Savannah?" Dylan's harsh, gloomy voice echoed down the aisle.

When Dylan stalled Lionel off, Savannah took advantage of the occasion, hurriedly out of the study, and went downstairs from the other side.

On the stairs not far away from the study, the two men stood there, staring at each other as if going to fight.

Though Lionel was always good-tempered, he couldn't maintain his gentle smile when Dylan questioned him in such a rude attitude again.

"How come Savannah's here? Dylan, I know LA is your place, but this is my house. Please show some respect!"
