“Channing indeed wants to torture me to death… Savannah thought as she stood in the bathroom. When the housekeeper’s voice sounded outside, she had only one thought.
However, she could not hide upstairs forever.
So she took a deep breath, looked in the mirror to adjust her condition, and finally followed the housekeeper downstairs.
By this time, everyone in the Muir residence had already gathered in the dining room. The table was full of delicious food. They had started eating without waiting for her.
Channing was sitting in the middle, eating gracefully with a fork. When Savannah went downstairs, he rarely humbled himself and looked at her.
Savannah also saw Winona, whom she had not seen in a long time, sitting next to Channing.
As expected, Winona attended the Muir family’s banquet.
After three years, she was still the same as before, wearing a beautiful yet simple white dress with long. straight black hair. She looked fresh and elegant with an outstanding temperament, like a flower in spring.
She looked innocent and would not fight for anything. People would feel sorry for her.
At that time, Winona accompanied Channing by the side while obediently serving the food for Channing. Her gentle and graceful appearance was as if she had been born to appear in that house and be the wife of the heir of the Muir family.
When Winona saw Savannah, she stood up with a smile, walked straight over to hold Savannah’s hand tightly. and led her to the table.
“Savannah, long time no see! You didn’t know I was invited in advance. You must have been surprised, right?”
Savannah paused and thought, “Was she invited here?” But soon, she understood bitterly.
On second thought, Savannah understood that sooner or later, Winona would be the wife of the heir of the Muir family. So, even though Savannah was still in the family, it was not surprising that Channing wanted to invite her beloved girl to his family so they could get to know her first.
After all, the Muir family would not embarrass Winona as she had risked herself to save Channing in the past.
But unexpectedly, Martha seemed unhappy.
As she saw Winona lead Savannah to sit down in the corner, Martha put down her fork and said, “Ms. Guthrie, the daughter–in–law of the Muir family is not that shy. As for you, Savannah, why were you in the bathroom for so long? It’s inappropriate to leave the guests alone here.”
“Martha, I’m sorry…” Savannah then whispered, “I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach just now.”

“You felt uncomfortable in your stomach?” Martha was stunned. The next moment, she looked at Savannah’s pale face and said with joy in her eyes, “Are you pregnant?”
“How is that possible? Melanie interrupted Martha, already finished the steak before others at the table could react. She sneered, “Mom, I know you want a grandchild, but Savannah’s belly is disappointing. She is infertile. Doesn’t everyone in our family know that?”
Melanie said inwardly, “I don’t believe Savannah will have a child with Channing, so if Savannah were pregnant, I would change my surname to Savannah’s!”
However, the fact that Savannah can’t get pregnant should not be mentioned in front of outsiders.
Martha pushed Melanie’s forehead and scolded, “What infertile woman? You are the daughter of the Muir family. Where did you learn such unpleasant talk?”
“I’m just telling the truth.” Melanie was arrogant because of her family’s support. She wanted to stir up trouble, so she looked at Savannah calmly and said, “Savannah, you haven’t had a child in three years. Could it be that your father has committed too many sins, so the retribution is on you, and you have no offspring?”
Savannah appeared pale, and her face had lost all color.
It seemed that Melanie had gathered a lot of vicious words after not seeing Savannah for the past few months. Therefore, on that day, Melanie humiliated her more than ever.
Savannah’s hand holding the fork shook uncontrollably. “Ms. Muir, please stick to talking about me and not verbally attacking my father.”
Moreover, she was expecting a baby, but Channing didn’t want it.
Winona stroked Savannah’s back and looked at Melanie. “Melanie, stop talking about Savannah like that. It has been hard for Savannah these past three years, and I heard she didn’t visit Mr. Turner at the hospital.
“Who said that? Winona, you’ve been abroad too long to know,” Melanie pouted sarcastically and continued, “Well, this woman secretly went to the hospital to see her father two days ago!”
Savannah’s face froze, and she looked at Channing in disbelief the next moment.
Only Channing knew that Savannah went to the hospital to see Walter, and he even warned her.
Savannah hadn’t expected that despite Channing’s previous threats, he would now go so far as to reveal this matter to Melanie, deliberately intending to make her suffer even more.
At that moment, an unprecedented impulse surge broke through all her restraint and concessions. Savannah suddenly stood up, glared at Melanie, and said, “Melanie, I don’t know if my father committed a sin that brought retribution upon me. But suppose there is such a thing as karma in this world. In that case, I sincerely hope and Pray
that the person responsible for Mr. Yates‘ death will face the consequences, a life of betrayal and isolation, divine punishment, and a miserable end! Are you satisfied with what I have just said, Melanie?”
The atmosphere suddenly froze into silence.
Channing did not seem to expect Savannah, who had always been gentle and timid, to have such a tough side.

He put down his fork, narrowed his eyes, and looked at her.
Melanie was suddenly startled and no longer dared to be arrogant.

Among them, Winona, standing beside Savannah, suddenly changed her expression. A hint of awkwardness flashed in her eyes.
In the end, it was Martha who took control of the situation. She scolded Melanie for the first time. “Melanie, that’s enough! You got everyone together for dinner today. But you haven’t been peaceful since the beginning. Do you want to upset Savannah or me?”
“I–I was just kidding.” Melanie said anxiously, trying to avoid Martha’s anger. She muttered quietly, “Who
mad… would have thought Savannah had such a low tolerance for jokes? I was joking, and she got
Indeed, in the eyes of Channing and Melanie, anything said by those with higher status, no matter how malicious, was just a joke. If one got angry, it meant they lacked tolerance.
However, Savannah admitted she was being petty,
Savannah took a deep breath and looked at Martha, saying, ‘Martha, I need to go upstairs and rest. My stomach is really uncomfortable… Perhaps it was the anger of a moment ago that affected the baby.
Savannah felt excruciating pain in her lower abdomen. She could barely stand up.
Martha felt guilty towards Savannah for Melanie’s loose tongue, or perhaps it was because Savannah appeared too vulnerable. Without hesitation, Martha asked the housekeeper to assist Savannah in going upstairs. She even went to the kitchen and instructed the chef to prepare a meal for Savannah.
Savannah quickly left the dining room.
Channing became indifferent. The next moment, he picked up his fork again and looked at Melanie, “Are you done joking?”
