That was funny but sad, Savannah thought, Susan had fought to get her husband to the top job, but her husband used his good salary to keep a mistress and an illegitimate daughter.

Susan would be crazy if she knew that.

"Oh, Henley's not competent? It's amazing that you can still allow an incompetent person to stay in the Sterling Group." Savannah teased.

She knew that Dylan would only appoint people on their merits rather than by favoritisms.

As long as the employees were talented and capable, even if they had been his enemies, he would use them magnanimously.

Otherwise, without ability, even his relatives would be driven away.

That was why he could expand the business of the Sterling Group after taking over it in the financial crisis and then dominated the business circle of the country. Even if he had a cold relationship with old Sterling, old Sterling was still willing to leave the whole Group to him to manage.

"Although Henley is less talented, he has a steady personality. He is honest, not opportunistic, and he's dedicated to his work. This kind of person is quite suitable for the purchasing department. That's why I keep him in the Sterling Group." Dylan said.

So, a character sometimes could compensate for lack of ability?

It turned out that Henley had a good impression on Dylan.

But what if Dylan knew that his brother-in-law was not as honest as he looked, but cheated on Susan?

Wow, this Henley was really great, even Dylan didn't see his true colors!

"Is Henley really so good? Maybe there's something bad in him that you haven't found out?" Savannah said casually.

"You seem to be very interested in Henley today. What the hell are you trying to say?" Dylan raised his eyebrows.

The clever fox was alarmed at the slightest mention!

"It's nothing. I just didn't think Henley is so good in your mind," said Savannah, putting out her tongue.

Dylan put down his notebook and stood up, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He walked up to her, bending down, and his thumb wiped off her lips. "Really? Just out of curiosity?"

Savannah's heart was beating violently. Did he see anything?

Should she tell him about Henley and Donna if he asked?

"Well, I'm really just curious..." Savannah replied.

"Henley is Devin's father and almost your father-in-law. Do you care about him because of this?" Dylan asked as his smile faded.

She breathed a sigh of relief. He had not noticed anything! Then she was amused. Was this man jealous?

"No. Am I crazy to care about Devin's father? We are chatting, okay?" She said helplessly.

"That's good." His eyes softened, and his expression warmed.

She quickly picked up the plates. "I'll go downstairs and put the dishes back in the kitchen."

"Just leave it to the servants," Dylan said.

"No, I've just finished my meal, and I want to walk to promote digestion." She felt her stuffed stomach.

He nodded, "by the way, don't arrange a publicity campaign next Saturday."

"Why?" Savannah paused.

"It's the Sterling's family day. Dad wants me to go back to the house for dinner and take you together. He feels sorry for wronging you in Valerie's case and wants to express an apology."

Savannah didn't expect that old Sterling had been thinking about her feelings.

Though he blamed her and almost allowed Susan to send her to the police station, she did not harbor resentment against him.

At that time, all the evidence indicated that she was the killer. What's more, old Sterling cared too much about his great-grandson in Valerie, so it was natural for him to blame her.

If she were old Sterling, she might have done the same or even angrier than him.

He had given her a month before sending her to the police station so she could be proved innocent at last.

In fact, old Sterling didn't need to make a special apology to her. She was not his daughter-in-law, not even Dylan's girlfriend.

She was really moved to learn that old Sterling still cared so much about her.

Seeing her sitting there unresponsive, Dylan thought she was still resentful at the way she was treated in Valerie's case. "If you don't want to go, then don't."

"I will," Savannah said quickly.

"Are you sure? You don't have to consider anyone's feeling."

"Well, I want to go." She was not as narrow-minded as Dylan, who held a grudge and refused to return home for years because of an unfortunate accident. When he finally came to the Sterling's house, he said a few words to old Sterling with a long face and never stayed for more than three hours.

Dylan squinted. He noticed that the way the little woman looked at him expressed some contempt.

The next Saturday came soon.

When Savannah went downstairs in the late afternoon, Dylan was already back from the Sterling Group, waiting for her in his car.

When they reached the entrance of the Sterling's house, butler Cooper and a row of servants were waiting for them as they had been before.

"Good evening, sir." Cooper greeted as he opened the door for them.

Then he turned to Savannah, smiled, and said, "Miss Schultz's here too. Old Sterling will be very happy today. He's still afraid that you don't want to come."

Savannah smiled back.

Dylan took Savannah's arm, walking into the house.

As soon as they entered the porch, Savannah saw Susan talking to old Sterling on the sofa.

Henley sat next to Susan, pouring tea for old Sterling, just like a loyal husband as he always was.

Devin remained home on the pretext of being sick. Well, he was really sick.

Valerie was still in her parent's house.

So, there were only Susan and her husband here for dinner today.
