BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170 - 170: Where Is Savannah
Devin smiled more brightly, and his voice trembled with joy, "Savannah, I never thought we'd be able to sit and drink one day. You know, if your cousin hadn't gotten pregnant by a trick, I wouldn't have married her. I'm still waiting for you to come back to me."
"Then why did you betray me?" Savannah scolded softly.
"All men make mistakes. I'm a normal man. You refused to make love with me, and your cousin kept seducing me. How could I resist her?" Devin said as if he was the one who got hurt.
What an asshole… Savannah cursed Devin inwardly but said nothing.
Devin was surprisingly pleased when he saw her not argue back. He reached out slowly to grasp her soft hand.
"But it's not the same now, I already know who is the most important to me, and I also know my fault. From today on, you will come back to me, and I'll be good to you." Devin said affectionately.
Savannah felt sick again. She reconsidered and deliberately loosened her hand and dropped the glass of wine.
"Oh my!" She stood up as she screamed out. The red wine ran down the skirt.
Devin quickly handed her the napkin.
She wiped her skirt and frowned, "I must go to the bathroom and clean it up. I'm sorry."
The bathroom was upstairs, and then she would have the opportunity to slip into his study.
"It's okay. You may go. Shall I take you upstairs?"
"No, thanks." Savannah shook her head. "I know where it is."
With that, she went upstairs in a hurry.
She deliberately went to the bathroom first, opened the door, and closed it to make a noise so that Devin downstairs could hear it. After that, she quietly walked to his study and pushed the door in.
On the desk was Devin's personal computer.
She walked over, sat down, and turned on the computer.
It required a password.
Savannah thought for a while and entered Devin's birthday in the input box. The screen lit up and came to the desktop.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily the password was not complicated!
Then she quickly clicked My Computer and started searching. Suddenly, a folder marked Top Secret appeared in front of her eyes!
She clicked the folder, which contained a CAD file.
When Savannah opened the file, as expected, she found it was a building design drawing! On the bottom right corner, there was a line of text: The design for the highest building.
She was pleased and then gnashed her teeth. It was really Devin who did it!
She quickly took out the USB flash disk she had prepared, inserted it into the USB port, and copied the CAD file to the USB disk.
The file size was a little bit huge, and the file transfer took some time.
Savannah looked at the progress bar on the screen nervously, clenching her fist, and glanced at the door of the study occasionally, afraid Devin would come to her when he found she stayed too long upstairs.
As time went by, her heart swelled and throbbed more and more violently.
***
At the same time.
A black Lamborghini stopped in front of Beverly Hills.
A tall figure got off and walked into the villa wearily.
"Mr. Sterling." Judy rushed up to greet Dylan.
"Has she slept?" Dylan loosened his collar with one hand and looked upstairs.
The little woman usually stayed up late. Why did she sleep so early today?
"No. Savannah was out to dinner with her good friend Olivia," Judy replied.
Dylan frowned slightly. He took out his phone and called Savannah.
Her phone was off.
A little dissatisfied, he called Olivia.
He kept the contact information of all her acquaintances, which were few in number.
"Hello, who's that?"
"Dylan Sterling."
"Mr.…Mr. Sterling?" The phone almost slipped from Olivia's hands. "What's up?"
"Where is Savannah?" Dylan had a bad feeling. The little woman was definitely not with Olivia at the moment.
"Savannah? She's not with me." Olivia was amazed.
"Didn't she go out with you tonight?" Dylan's brow knitted together.
"No."
Dylan didn't say anything more. He hung up. The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy and cold in the living room.
Judy heard clearly the phone call between Mr. Sterling and Olivia. Which made her tremble. So... Savannah didn't go out with her friend? Why did she lie? What was she doing now?
"Did she say anything before she went out tonight?" Dylan asked coldly.
"No…"
"Was there anything unusual about her today?"
Judy thought of something, and she didn't know whether to say it or not. Finally, she stammered, "Savannah went shopping with me today. I went to get the driver while she was waiting at the roadside. When I went back, I saw her talking to someone…"
"Who's that?" Dylan puckered up his brows.
"Mr. Yontz."

Savannah felt her heart beating faster as the progress bar increased.
80%...
81%...
Just then, Devin's impatient voice came from upstairs.
"Savannah, are you okay?"
She burst out in a cold sweat, and rushed to the door, opened it, and shouted back, "I will be right downstairs."
"Do you need any towel you can't find? Shall I go upstairs to help you?"
"No, I've done. I'm going downstairs now." She tried to remain calm.
Then she rushed back to the computer, staring at the screen.
Be quick… be quick, please…
95%...
96%...
Suddenly, she heard Devin's steps on the stairs, and her heart almost stopped!
As soon as the copying process was completed, Savannah pulled out the USB flash drive and deleted the original file!
She shut off the computer, strode out of the study, and quickly walked to the bathroom, pretending that she just came out of the bathroom.
At the same time, Devin appeared in the corridor on the second floor.
"Why are you coming up?" said Savannah, breathing a better breath.
