Chapter 387:
The next morning, Helena sent Valeria a message to let her know that her “seduction plan” had worked.
Valeria had just finished her night shift and was taking a break in the hospital lounge. When she saw Helena’s text, she couldn’t help but grin. She quickly replied, teasing, “So, did Mr. Wilson get caught in your trap, or did his charm win you over instead?” Helena shot back a cheeky emoji.
Thrilled for her friend, Valeria was ready to keep chatting when a loud noise interrupted her. Curious, she stepped outside and saw Savannah marching toward her, looking fierce, with two bodyguards following closely behind. Savannah’s face was already twisted with rage, and when her eyes landed on Valeria, her anger flared even more.
She marched straight up to Valeria and snapped, “Spill it! What did you do to my son? Did you talk him into leaving the country with you p>
“Wait, what are you even talking about?” Valeria was completely confused.
She had never been fond of this pushy woman, but for Leonino’s sake, she kept her cool and stayed respectful.
“Quit acting innocent!” Savannah yanked at Valeria’s sleeve, her voice shaking with fury. “If you hadn’t played any trick, why would my son just pack up and leave? He said he was taking over our family’s medical work abroad, and then—nothing! Not a single word since p>
Gregg had always been a cheater. Savannah had tried everything—arguing, begging—but nothing ever changed. If anything, Gregg just hated her more.
Over time, they pretended everything was fine in public, but behind closed doors, they’d been drifting apart for years.
In the end, Savannah placed all her hopes on her son, Leonino. Luckily, Leonino had always been level-headed and successful, excelling in school and making her the envy of their entire social circle. Eventually, Leonino went against her wishes and chose medicine over business. But after finishing medical school, he somehow balanced both—working as a doctor and running the family business.
Outdoing even the other wealthy kids with trust funds, Leonino had made Savannah even prouder.
But the one thing she couldn’t accept was his refusal to marry according to her plans. Now, he had left the country without a word, cutting all ties and showing no intention of returning.

Savannah felt an emptiness inside. If Leonino truly walked away from her, what would be left for her life?
The more she dwelled on it, the more frantic she became. In a moment of fury, she raised her hand, ready to strike Valeria.
“Mrs. Prescott, take a breath!” Valeria quickly grabbed her trembling wrist and pulled her toward a mirror in the hallway.
Pointing at the wild-eyed, menacing woman in the mirror, Valeria asked firmly, “Is this really the image you want to project p>
Savannah stared into the mirror. Her outfit remained flawless, and her makeup was as neat and perfect as always. But her red, tired eyes, the anger etched on her face, and the frustration lurking beneath it all made her look like someone on the verge of breaking down.
