Penny gradually showed her hatred for Winnie, but she wasn't going to fully show it today.
"Well, it seems that Winnie has missed a good man. I couldn't understand why she gives up such a
good man and becomes the other woman."
"I'm not sure that she's the other woman. I just heard it. You can observe before you draw a
conclusion."
Daniel knew when to stop. It was enough to get Penny to be angry with Winnie today.
"Mrs. Bennet, can we exchange contact information? Can you recommend me for a post in the future if
you find a suitable one? Even if I will continue to protect Winnie, I need to find a job to support myself. I
hope that you will help me."
As the saying goes, many kiss the baby for the nurse's sake. Daniel was just like that.
"Well, I'll certainly help you."
As she spoke, Penny took out her mobile phone. Then, they friended each other.
What happened at the reunion didn't cause much impact on Winnie. She just continued her work and
life as usual. These days, they were developing new software in the company, so Winnie naturally got
busy.
She worked from morning till night. Having no time to go to staff canteen, she had to ask Alice to bring
lunch for her from the staff canteen. Sometimes she had to work even after she had come home.
"Mommy, there is something wrong with Luke's computer. Will you take a look at it?"
When Winnie was working, Megan suddenly opened the door and talked to her.
"Okay, I'm coming."
Winnie stopped working and went to the computer room.
Luke was trying to fix the computer, but he failed.
"Auntie, what's wrong with this computer? I can't fix it."
Seeing that Winnie came in, Luke immediately asked her for help.
"Let me see."
Winnie said gently, came close to the computer and bent down.
"What did you do before?"
"I was just trying to modify the software program, but I seemed to operate it improperly. Then, the
computer crashed."
Luke answered in a low voice. Thinking that he had cause the computer to crash, he felt sorry.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I'll teach you how to do this."
Hearing his words, Winnie knew what had happened. She often encountered such a situation when
she developed a new software.
"Luke, you should do it like this..."
Winnie taught Luke while she operated the computer.
Soon, Winnie fixed the computer and then went back to her studio.
When she sat down in front of her computer, she found that there was a new e-mail. She opened the e-
mail.
After reading it, Winnie was stunned.
"Klara deliberately tried to steal your phone."
After reading the message, Winnie took another look at the name of the sender. She was sure that she
didn't know this person.
However, after careful consideration, she realized that it must be from someone in the company
because that person knew both Klara and her. Thus, she could narrow down the list greatly. However,
Winnie didn't pay much attention to the sender for the time being, because she could find out the
sender easily as long as she tracked it down.
Now, Winnie was wondering why Klara would try to steal her mobile phone and what the relationship
between Klara and the person who robbed her of her mobile phone that day was.
Winnie decided to keep silent and talked to Klara first.
The next day, Winnie managed to find some time, asking Klara to come to her office and showing her
that e-mail.
After reading the e-mail, Klara was stunned for a while first and then calmed down.
"Could it be that you believe it? In my opinion, it's more like a prank. I had never meant to steal your
mobile phone."
Klara pretended to be calm, but she felt uneasy all the time.
It was not serious, but Brian would have a far worse impression of her if he knew it.
She could know that it was Penny that sent this e-mail without thinking. It seemed that Penny was more
sinister than she had thought. Klara knew that Penny was mean, but she never expected that Penny
would betray her who stood with her.
"The reason why I ask you about it is that I'm not sure what is going on. Since you say that it's just a
prank, I rest assured. However, Klara, could it be that you don't know that I really lost my mobile
phone?"
Winnie wouldn't easily believe what Klara said, but she wasn't sure that Klara had done that. After all,
there was nothing in her cell phone that Klara would be interested in.
"I knew it. Albert told me. But wasn't your mobile phone robbed by someone? It had nothing to do with
me."
Klara immediately clarified that it had nothing to do with her. However, as she spoke, she suddenly
realized that it was possible that Winnie's mobile phone wasn't robbed by accident.
"That's great. There is something important in my mobile phone. If I can't find it, I'll ask Mr. Bennet to
help me."
Winnie had said these words deliberately. She wanted to see how Klara would react after she said so.
However, Klara didn't have much reaction, except that her gaze was furtive.
After Klara returned to her office, she had been thinking about what Winnie said. If Winnie told Brian
this, Brian would definitely ask her about it. In this case, she would play the passive role.
After considering for a long time, Klara finally decided to go to Brian and confess.
After knocking on the door, Klara pushed the door opened and went in without permission because she
knew that only Brian was inside.
"What's the matter?"
Brian asked indifferently.
"Mr. Bennet..."
Klara came close to Brian's desk with an embarrassed expression.
"Just tell me if there is anything."
Klara wouldn't looked embarrassed unless something came up at her home, so Brian thought that she
wanted to talk to him about her family matter.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm sorry."
Klara apologized in a low voice, making Brian puzzled.
“……”
Brian kept silent thoughtfully.
"Mr. Bennet, I did something wrong. I tried to steal Winnie's cell phone for Mrs. Bennet."
It took Klara a lot of courage to confess. Now, she felt uneasy and kept her head down, daring not to
look up at Brian. That's because she could guess what the expression of Brian would be like at this
moment.
Brian frowned and looked at Klara with cold and sullen eyes.
He didn't expect that Klara would tell him such a thing and couldn't believe that Klara would collude
with Penny. Hearing this, Brian couldn't keep poised. He had always trusted Klara most. The fact that
she tried to steal Winnie's mobile phone meant that she had betrayed him.
"Explain it clearly."
Brian ordered in an angry and cold tone that it would intimidate others.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm wrong, but I didn't succeed. Winnie came back when I just began to search her bag."
Klara was so scared that her heart trembled. At the same time, she regretted very much. However, she
had done it. In order to continue to get his trust and to get his forgiveness, she could only force herself
to tell the truth.
"Before, Mrs. Bennet contacted me. She suggested that I should steal Winnie's s cell phone and then
she would drive Winnie away. That day, I was angry after Winnie scolded me, so I agreed in a
thoughtless moment. That day, when Winnie came to your office, I went to her office. However, Winnie
came back sooner than I expected, so I failed. Winnie knew this."
Klara spoke in an extremely low voice. Having worked for Brian for four years, it was the first time for
her to make a mistake. Therefore, her self-esteem was hurt.
At this moment, Brian wore a dark face. His eyes were cold.
"Did you send someone to rob Winnie of her mobile phone?"
Brian asked angrily.
"No, I really knew nothing about that."
Klara hurriedly looked up and denied. When she met Brian's cold eyes, she immediately lowered her
head.
"I gave up after I failed that time. Later, Mrs. Bennet made a phone call to me to ask me to steal
Winnie's computer, but I refused."
"Steal her computer? Why did Penny want to steal Winnie's computer?"
Brian felt puzzled. After trying to steal Winnie's mobile phone, Penny wanted to steal her computer.
What on earth did Penny want to know?
"Mrs. Bennet told me that there must be photos that could prove that you had an affair with Winnie in
her mobile phone. After I got Winnie's mobile phone for her, she would threaten Winnie with the photos
so that Winnie would leave. She said so. And I don't know anything else."
Klara didn't feel relieved after taking the initiative to confess. What she cared about most was how
Brian would handle this.
Brian frowned and looked at Klara angrily.
A moment later.
"Klara, I have always trusted you. You betrayed me by doing so. Even if you have ulterior motive, you
should be scrupulous in separating the public interest from the private interest. Winnie has never made
trouble for you, and what she said that day was also true."
Brian reproached her coldly and mentioned what happened on that day again.
If he had talked it through at that time, it was possible that Klara wouldn't have resented Winnie.
Klara was stunned. It was easy to understand what Brian meant. He had long known that she liked him.
Besides, he also knew what she had done against Winnie.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm sorry. I'm wrong. I'll never do that again. Mr. Bennet, forgive me for my husband's
sake."
Klara hurriedly cried pleaded for herself, otherwise she would definitely be driven away.
When she mentioned her husband, there was a helpless expression on Brian's face.
"I don't want such a thing to happen again in the future. If you did it again, I would not forgive you."
Seeing that Klara regretted what she had done, Brian finally forgave her. After all, it was because of
him that Klara became jealous. He should bear some responsibility.
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Bennet. Something like that will never happen again in the future."
Klara thanked Brian hurriedly. Although she had lost her self-esteem, she was quite satisfied with the
result. Being able to stay with Brian was the most important thing for her.
"Klara, you'll just treat me as your boss in the future. Pay your attention to something you should."
Brian had to warn her to avoid that something worse might happen.
Klara was sad and her self-esteem was hurt again. However, she had no other choice at this moment.
"Yes, Mr. Bennet."
"Go back to your work."
Receiving his order, Klara immediately turned around and left.
However, it was impossible for Brian to just move forward as if nothing had happened.
Penny went too far. She must have something to do with Winnie's mobile phone being robbed.
Thinking of this, Brian picked up his mobile phone and was about to make a phone call to Albert.
"Mr. Bennet."
"How's the investigation?"
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Bennet, I come to make a report."
Albert answered very seriously and then went on.
"I still found out the fact of the accident, but I found the person who robbed Winnie of her cell phone.
However, that guy didn't admit that someone had asked him to do it and said that it was simply a
robbery. I threatened that guy, but it didn't work. When he was sent to the police station, he still said
nothing."
Albert told him the whole story, but there weren't many useful clues.
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Bennet, | come to make a report."
Albert answered very seriously and then went on.
"| still found out the fact of the accident, but | found the person who robbed Winnie of her cell phone.
