Winnie was stunned and went into cardiac arrest for a few seconds.
She looked up at Brian with misty eyes and felt incredible.
"No, I don't have the habit of being a mistress."
Winnie recovered and resolutely refused.
Her answer made Brian's face instantly get gloomy. He twisted his eyebrows and there was anger in
his eyes.
"Winnie, you should know many women are vying to be my woman. What an honor to have you picked
by me."
"I did wicked things in my previous life, and this life is full of bad retribution. So I'm not used to the
honour you give me."
Winnie spit a breath out of the corner of her mouth, floating the hair beside her eyebrows.
She refused and did not want to have too much contact with this dangerous man.
To be his woman? For what? She had no interest in being a mistress, even less in this arrogant man.
Winnie raised her head in a tsundere way, bypassed Brian and walked out of the bathroom.
"You refused to be my woman because you want to stay with Leo?"
Brian said angrily. Thinking of this possibility, he could not control himself.
Winnie stopped and with her back to Brian.
"Not if he agrees, I would like to. I felt disappointed I failed to cheat him at the first time, and if I can
conquer him, my sense of achievement will be huge."
Winnie deliberately said so. She did not want to be Brian's woman, to be kept an eye at by him. She
thought if she said so, he would give up.
Luke lived in Winnie's home for a week, and there was no reason to leave him beside her, so she
returned him to Brian. After Luke was sent away, Winnie's heart felt empty, and she had been worried
he would suffer domestic violence.
No matter how busy she was, Winnie would personally go to the kindergarten to pick up Megan every
dat, only to be able to see whether Luke was ok.
Brian was so busy these days that he had no time to talk to her. Winnie had a few peaceful days.
But good times did not last long. As she went to the hall on the first floor after work, Winniesaw Leo
who made her headache.
She stood where she was and breathed a sigh of relief before moving on.
"Winwin, let's talk."
This time Leo's voice was not cold and sarcastic.
"There's nothing to talk about. We've been at a standstill for four years."
Winnie refused flatly.
Being inexplicably entangled made her annoyed.
"Winwin, I want to talk. I want to know what happened back then."
Winnie's words that day made him suspicious of the whole thing.
He had found Daenerys, but Daenerys said nothing and only let him ask Winnie. He came to Penny,
but Penny refused to see him. With her status now, he could do nothing.
"What's the matter? Now you want to get to the truth? It's too late and meaningless."
Speaking of the truth in those days, Winnie's heart was like tearing pain because of Leo and Penny's
betrayal and the departure of her parents.
Winnie bypassed Leo and strode away.
Leo did not give up and followed Winnie all the time.
They walked out of the lobby on the first floor and came to the parking lot. Leo quickly walked a few
steps to stop in front of Winnie.
"Winwin, I can ask no questions about things in that year. But there was no formal end to our
relationship.Today......"
"Ok."
Winnie agreed readily, for this relationship she also wanted to have a very formal ending. Because at
that time she did love him, only when it ended, she could goodbye to the painful past.
Winnie made a call to arrangeMeganand went to the cafe behind the company withLeo.
"Say it, simplicity is preferred."
Winnie said and did not want to waste too much time in the past things.
"Winwin, I really loved you. All of a sudden, knowing that you lied to me was more than I can handle. It
was too much for me. So I......"
Leo's thought was the exact opposite ofWinnie's. Although Winnie cheated him, although he hated her,
he wanted to spend more time with Winnie.
"Don't say you love me, the person who loves me would give me a chace to explain."
"I don't want to talk about the old days. Finish it as soon as possible lest I lie to you again."
Winnie's attitude was frim. The thing in the past was like a needle in her heart and it was so painful that
she could not breathe.
"Winwin, tell me about what happened that year. I can move on as long as I know the truth."
Leo still wanted to know about the truth.
"I said it was not necessary. Why should I have to explain your affair with Penny? Leo, if you want to
know the truth, find Penny. You are intimate ands she will tell you."
Winnie was impatient. She was hurt four years ago and didn't want to hurt twice over the same thing.
She stood up straight and was unconcerned.
"Leo, it is over between us. We are now strangers, so I hope you will not bother me again."
Winnie said and left regardless of Leo.
Leo was very upset. She sat on the chair and constantly pulled his hair. He could not figure out what
happened.
Who lied to him? Who was the one got hurt?
They were a few people knew what had happened, but they kept quiet, so he could not get to the truth.
Leo hoped Penny would tell him so he picked up the phone and made a call to her.
"I'm at a cafe near thethe building of Bennete Group, and if you don't meet me, I'm going to see your
husband."
Leo did not give Penny a chance to refuse and threatened her.
Half an hour later, Penny sat Leo's opposite with a dark face.
"Leo, what exactly do you want? It was over between us four years ago. You always pestered me,
aren’t you afraid my husband would destroy your company."
Penny’s conceited look made Leo feel sick.
Penny was different for her in past. She was clever, sensible and low-key, but since she came back to
the Burns family, she changed.
After she married Brian and became the First Lady of B City, she was even more arrogant. She even
walked with her head held high, showing her arrogance.
Leo looked up disdainfully at her and snorted.
"I don’t want to pester you, Penny, I won’t make trouble to you. I just want to know what happened four
years ago. Did Winnie's mother get sick and stay in hospital? Did you deceive me, or did she?"
Hearing the name of Winnie, Penny showed anger in eyes.
It had been four years and Leo was still thinking about Winnie. He must know that Winnie came back
and still had feelings for her, so he thought of that past.
When it came to Winnie, she was annoyed. She would never give Leo and Winnie a chance to get
back together
"I have told you all about it, and you still have doubt. She had no mother. She was with you for your
money. Winnie is beautiful, so she took the advantage of beauty to cheat money. From the day I met
her, she used her mother's dying condition to get sympathy from men and she only made boyfriends
who were rich."
Penny repeated what she had said.
"......"
Leo was speechless and unable to tell what was true and what was false.
Everything that Penny said came true.
When he first knew Winnie, they were abroad. Many friends knew Winnie. They said that she was cold
and proud and did not accept men's pursuit easily. It was the same when she studied abroad. She was
even arroganet when she was in the domestic university. She had no fancy to general men. There were
a lot of people trying to pursue her, but she rejected coldly.
This validated what Penny said about finding only rich men.
When Winnie suddenly returned to the country, Penny found him, and told him Winnie’s premeditation.
A few days later, Winnie called him and said she needed money for her sick mother, which made Leo
extremely angry.
It was easy for people to lose their judgment ability when they were angry, so he had hated Winnie for
so many years and always thought she was a cheater.
Until that day in the parking lot, Winnie's sincere and innocent eyes made him doubt his own judgment.
"Or maLKe you're lying to me."
Leo said in a deep voice and had questions in his eyes at Penny.
"I lied to you? Leo, you have no conscience. If it weren't for me to tell you, your money was already
cheated by that woman with a scorptuous heart. She cheated you not only for money, but also for
affection."
"I'm so disappointed that I think of you and you doubt me."
Penny looked wronged and stared at Leo angrily.
"You can not tell me the truth, Penny, but I will certainly pursue it, and I will see who has deceived me."
What Leo saw in Winnie's eyes was sincere, but Penny's eyes were elusiveness.
After Leo left, Penny showed hatred in the cafe. Through her own channels, she found the residence of
Winnie.
At home, Winnie told Daenerys to stay away from the things between her and Leo.
"Winwin, stop nagging. Leo came to me and I didn't say anything, and I won't say anything."
Daenerys was annoyed by being nagging byWinniesitting on the sofa.
"Good. I don't want to have anything to do with such a person. They ganged up on me and then said it
was my fault. Such people have no moral bottom line and I must stay away from them."
Winnie said angrily. In her heart Leo and Penny was even worse than a scumbag.
"Winwin, there is another possiblility, that is, Leo was cheated by Penny."
Daenerys thought.
"If so, I can't change anything. He said he loved me, but he would rather believe others but not give me
the opportunity to explain. This is not love, and such a man is useless."
Winnie said decisively with a gloomy face.
"You're right, but..."
The doorbell rang at this moment.
Winnie walked to the door and her face became sullen.
"Winnie, I know you are inside, either you come out, or I go in."
Exclaimed Daenerys like a swearing shrew.
"Penny?”
Daenerys heard this and hurried to the door to confirm.
"It is her, and she is shameless to come. Let her in, and I'll let her crawl out."
Daenerys was angry after confirming it was Penny. As she spoke, she was to press the door button,
but was stopped byWinnie.
"Don't mess around, the kid is here. You accompany Megan, I go downstairs."
Winnie put on shoes and went out directly.
