Winnie gave Brian a helpless glance to remind him, but Brian ignored it.
"Daddy, let me introduce to you. This is Auntie's younger sister and Megan's Auntie. Auntie said that I
should also call her Auntie."
Luke took the initiative to introduce Vanessa to Brian because he also liked Auntie and wanted to show
off.
Brian didn't notice Vanessa before Luke's introduction. He looked up at her and immediately frowned.
At the first glance, he found that Vanessa looked very similar to Winnie. It could be said that Winnie
looked just like her when she was 20 years old.
Brian didn't speak, and Luke continued to introduce.
"Auntie, this is my daddy."
Vanessa looked at Brian up and down with her bright eyes and thought that he was a man who was
excellent, handsome, elegant calm and poised.
It was obvious that he was so powerful that no one dared to offend him as if he were an emperor.
Judging from his temperament alone, he must be from an unusually seen powerful family and had a
very large company.
"Hello, my name is Vanessa Chambers, the younger sister of Winnie."
Vanessa took the initiative to greet him. Although it seemed difficult to get along with this man, she felt
that he was friendly for no reason.
"Hello. I'm Win...I'm Luke's father."
It was surprised that Brian didn't speak in a cold voice. He not only spoke softly and gently, but also
nearly said something he shouldn't. If Winnie hadn't pinched him on his thigh, he would have definitely
said that he was Winnie's lover.
"If you find it uncomfortable when you live in Winnie's house, just let me know. I'll get another house for
you."
Brian went on as if he were trying to please the younger sister of his wife. Besides, it was a chance for
him to move out of the apartment on the 18th floor.
"It's great to live there. Thank you..."
Speaking of this, Vanessa paused and looked at Winnie.
"Sister, what should I call him?"
Winnie thought that she should express her gratitude to him, but it would be too cold to just say "thank
you". She wanted to call him, but she didn't know what to call him.
"Oh...calling him Mr. Bennet..."
"Call...Call me Brother. Don't call me Mr. Bennet in private. It sounds awkward."
Brian interrupted Winnie before she finished her words. Just now, Brian nearly asked Vanessa to call
him sister-in-law, but he stopped himself in time.
He wanted Vanessa to call him sister-in-law, but he would be embarrassed if Vanessa asked him why.
After all, he couldn't admit that Winnie had any relationship with him. It seemed that he couldn't even let
others know that she was the other woman.
"Well, I'll call you Brother. Brother, thank you for your concern."
Vanessa was happy to call him Brother. She must leave a good impression on Winnie's boss the first
time she met him, so that he wouldn't make trouble for Winnie.
She just didn't expect that he, seemingly a person with higher status, would be so friendly.
Winnie was very surprised after seeing Brian's attitude towards Vanessa. After having known Brian for
so long a time, she believed that Brian should be extremely indifferent to strangers. However, he
looked more like a gentle man.
She must be crazy. What she had just seen wasn't true. She thought that she must had been blind and
deaf and what she had just saw was just a hallucination. Or the man beside him wasn't Brian, but a
man who just looked the same as Brian.
"You're welcome. Do you need to attend a tutoring class to get to be familiar with the school here?"
Brian went on asking. Even he himself didn't know the reason why he wasn't hostile to Vanessa at all.
"Yes, but Winnie had already found one for me. Brother, thank you for your concern."
Vanessa thanked him in a cheerful way again.
"Don't attend that school. I'll get her a best school that offers one-on-one tutoring or the best tutors."
Brian looked at Winnie and said in peremptory manner.
"No, it's inappropriate for her to have one-on-one tutoring or be taught by tutors. She has to be in the
atmosphere of learning. Only in this way can she work harder. Don't interfere with the matter about her
tutoring class. I've already found one for her."
Winnie refused in time because what Brian offered was not good for Vanessa. With her ability, it was
enough for her to study in a tutoring class. There was no need for her to have one-on-one tutoring or
find tutors for her.
"Then get her a better cram school. Albert, find a cram school tomorrow. If you fail to deal with this
issue well, I'll dismiss you."
Brian said coldly with determination in his deep eyes.
"Winnie, for my sake, don't refuse his proposal."
Albert said flatteringly. He could tell that Brian didn't really mean what he said, but he had to help him
flatter Winnie.
Thinking of this, Albert almost laughed. President Bennet was always so cold. Who could foresee that
he would flatter someone one day?
Winnie no longer spoke, but pinched Brian's thigh under the dining table.
They all kept silent. It could be said that Winnie had acquiesced in Brian's proposal.
Vanessa would occasionally laugh during the dinner. Seeing this, Winnie was happy.
She didn't care about what she said and did. She just wanted her to be happy and was no longer in a
panic or fear.
Brian was very polite today, driving the car in person and sending them four home.
After he stopped the car, Brian pre-empted Winnie and spoke before Winnie had a reaction.
"Vanessa, go home with Megan and Luke first. I want to talk to your Winnie about business."
Brian found a high-sounding excuse, so Winnie couldn't refuse.
"Well, I'll go home with them first. Brother, thank you for your treat."
After saying that, Vanessa got off the car and then left with Luke and Megan.
"If you've any business to talk with me, just tell me now. I need to help Vanessa to unpack..."
Before Winnie could say the word "suitcase", Brian kissed her lips.
He kissed her in such a sudden and domineering way that Winnie couldn't resist it.
After a long time, when both of them couldn't breathe, Brian finally let go of Winnie while gasping for
breath.
"This is the business I want to talk with you."
Since knowing that Vanessa would come today, Brian had begun to miss her. They were still together
in the morning. However, Brian couldn't help thinking about Winnie when he thought of being unable to
see Winnie freely and when he thought that he couldn't fall asleep if he was alone. Therefore, he asked
Albert to stay around the building Winnie lived in and finally appeared in the western restaurant.
"You...You're a hooligan! This is not business!"
Winnie blushed and scolded Brian shyly. Although she was also unaccustomed to Brian's absence, she
was still reserved and tried hard to overcome it.
Brian was different from her. Having left her for less than a day, he found an excuse to find her. Winnie
didn't know whether Brian cared more about her than before or he wanted to have physical contact with
her like kiss.
"You agreed, so it's business."
After Brian spoke these words in a cold and low tone, Winnie was no longer that shy.
It seemed that Brian still didn't care about her. He kept her in the car purely to do this "routine
business".
"The business is over. May I leave now?"
Winnie put on a smile to hide the bitterness.
"Go to the villa on the top of the mountain with me."
Brian invited her. Winnie knew why he wanted her to go there with him.
"No, I refuse. I have told you that I won't go there anymore. If anything goes missing there, I'll be the
suspect."
Winnie pretended to be relaxed and answered. Thinking of the villa on the top of the mountain, she
became even sadder.
"Where do you want to go? Office or hotel?"
It could be tell that Brian really wanted to make love with her. But it wasn't entirely because of sexual
needs. He had been used to sleeping in the same bed with Winnie. He couldn't fall asleep without her.
Hearing what he said, Winnie dropped her eyes and put on a bitter expression. For Brian, there was no
need to take her to a better place than office or hotel.
"I don't want to go anywhere else today. Vanessa has just come here. I can't leave her alone at home.
She has a phobia. I'm afraid that she will dislike the strange environment. Find another day. When
Vanessa is familiar with the environment, just tell me you want me to go to office or hotel with you. I'll
definitely fulfill my obligation."
Winnie finally refused. Now she was affected emotionally. Even if Vanessa wasn't in her house, she
wouldn't want to stay with Brian.
"If you're not accustomed to the room outside, go home. You haven't gone home for many days."
Winnie added. Then she opened the door, got off the car and left.
Brian's face was instantly dark. He was unhappy that Winnie refused, but he couldn't do anything with
her.
The next morning.
Brian heard a knock on the door the moment he came out of the lounge.
"Come in."
Brian said in a very low and unhappy tone.
It was Penny who came in with Brian's clothes in her hand as usual.
"Why are you here?"
Brian asked coldly.
"Klara called me and said that you needed clothes, so I come to end you some."
Penny said gently. She hadn't seen Brian for many days. She missed him, but she couldn't come to see
Brian as she wanted for fear that she would annoy him.
"Put it down. You don't have to send me clothes anymore. I've got some clothes in the lounge."
Brian said in a cold voice and showed no feelings for her. What Penny couldn't accept most was that
there was disgust for her in Brian's eyes.
In the past, Brian also didn't like her, but he didn't hate her as much as now. It must be because of
Winnie who wouldn't say a good word for her in the presence of Brian.
"Ok. Brian, when will you go home?"
Penny asked humbly.
She must take revenge on Winnie for what she had suffered today.
"I don't know. You go home first. I have to work now."
As Brian spoke, he turned and walked to his desk. He didn't even gave the clothes Winnie brought a
glance.
Penny was angry, but dared not show it. Besides, she had to pretend to be obedient.
"Then I'm going home first. Remember to go home."
Penny reminded Brian to go home at the risk of his being angry. However, Brian just looked at her
coldly in silence.
Penny finally left. If she stayed a little longer, Brian would definitely be angry. He was becoming more
and more impatient with Penny. He couldn't explain the reason clearly. However, after he met Winnie,
he would unconsciously compare Winnie and Penny.
After that, he found that Penny was even not as honest as a liar.
Brian pushed these thoughts away and made an internal call.
"Don't ask Penny to send clothes to me in the future."
Brian ordered coldly and solemnly.
"Yes, Mr. Bennet."
Feeling puzzled, Klara answered. She didn't know what had happened in his office, but she had to
obey his order.
"Mr. Bennet, Albert wants to report his work."
When Klara was about to put down the telephone, Albert appeared. Therefore, she reported directly.
"Let him in."
After Brian put down the telephone, Albert came in.
"What's the matter?"
Brian asked coldly without expression.
"I've found out more about Winnie."
"Go on."
