Listening to the beep sound on the phone, Penny was irritated. She threw the phone out. Fortunately,
the phone fell on the bed.
‘Winnie, Winnie, I didn't expect you to be so mean. Then don't blame me for being merciless.’
It took a long time for Penny to calm down. She picked up the phone again and made a call.
"Dad, how is it going? Why haven't you taken any action after such a long time? They are already living
together. If you don't take a move, I won't be able to keep my position."
Penny asked Wyatt Burns eagerly. On the phone, Wyatt was silent for a moment before speaking in a
low voice.
"It gets already now. Don't worry."
Wyatt was now investigating Winnie. He must make sure that Winnie had no backers before he could
take a move. But what was weird was that he couldn’t find Winnie's basic information of the last four
years.
This made Wyatt very puzzled, so he did not start.
"Of course you are not in a hurry. Anyway, I’m not important to you."
Penny heard that her father didn't mean to act immediately. She was overwhelmed by her anger in an
instant. After saying these, she just hung up the phone. After that, no matter how Wyatt called, Penny
refused to answer.
In her opinion, she had always been alone in this world. Even if she returned to the Burns family, even
if she found her biological father, her biological father did not do anything for her.
It seemed that no matter what, she could only depend on herself.
Then, Penny thought of Daniel again. At this time, only Daniel was standing on the same side with her.
In the suite of a high-class hotel, Penny was lying naked in Daniel's arms on the bed.
"Don't look for a job in the future. I will support you."
Penny said shyly. Among all the people she knew, the only one she could take advantage of was
Daniel. She had to tie him tightly until she dealt with Winnie.
"No. I am a man. I should make money for you."
Daniel said hypocritically. In fact, he had long wanted to hear it.
"It's good that you have this kind of thought, but I don't want you to work too hard. I want you to spend
more time with me."
Both of them had their own thoughts. They all knew their relationship was just for benefits. But they
could only be cunning so that they could get what they wanted.
"Penny, what should we do if Brian knows that we are together?"
Daniel had learned about Brian's strength. If Brian knew about it, he would die.
"He won't know. His entire attention is on work. He is always on business trips and never goes home.
He doesn't even notice it. Don't worry. Even if he knows, he can't do anything to you. I’ll help you."
Penny said loudly, as if she could settle everything.
Brian’s attention was on Winnie now. How could he care about her? She was like a concubine who had
been forgotten by Brian.
But she must be more careful. If Brian really knew it, she would be a dead meat.
"Let's get down to the business. I have already been ready for it. If you are okay, we can start
tomorrow."
This was the real purpose that Penny slept with him.
"No problem. It’s fine by me."
Not only was there no problem, Daniel was even a little excited when he thought that his dream would
come true soon.
"Okay. Let's start tomorrow."
After saying it, Penny picked up the cell phone next to her and made a call. After the matter was
solved, although she felt a little nervous, she was still excited when she thought that Winnie would soon
be ruined by others.
Penny sat up naked. While fiddling with her hair, Penny spoke.
"You have known Winnie for a long time. Have you met her husband?"
Penny had been trying to figure out this matter. But until now she had not found any clues.
"No. She didn't have husband when she came to work. But we all heard that she was divorced. It
seemed that her husband did not want her to go abroad. Some said that the child was not her
husband's, so her husband left her in anger. I don’t know exactly the reason."
Daniel only heard about these things. For him, it was best for him that Winnie had no husband.
"..."
Penny didn't ask, but got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
Penny couldn’t figure out one thing.
The girl named Megan was the same old as Luke, which meant Megan was born five years ago.
Winnie had no boyfriend at that time. Besides, it was when Winnie’s parents died.
If the child was not Leo's, who would be that child’s father? Winnie couldn't hook up with other man in
such a sad moment, right?
But why did someone say that the child was not her husband's? What happened to Winnie after
returning?
After Winnie bought a new computer, she left the company. Vanessa's house was sold. In the
afternoon, Winnie would sign a simple contract and accept the deposit.
It was a busy afternoon. After getting everything done, Winnie felt tired. Even her mobile phone
successfully powered off.
After she picked up children home, she unexpectedly saw Brian.
When Winnie saw him, she would think of the video that Penny had sent to her. She was so angry
when she saw him.
But children were there. In order not to let the children notice that she was a little unhappy, Winnie
could only hold it back.
"Daddy…"
"Uncle…"
Megan and Luke hadn't seen Brian for several days, so they couldn't help rushing to Brian's side
excitedly.
"Luke, Megan, have you guys been obedient these days?"
Brian said softly. Since being taught by Winnie, he had not been overly indifferent to children even
when he was in a bad mood.
Just like Winnie said, his attitude could affect children's mood. Luke’s mood had changed a lot since he
changed his attitude. But his tenderness only showed to these two children.
"I’m a good boy. Neither of us pissed off Auntie."
Luke said happily.
"Well, Luke is a good boy."
"I didn't piss off Mommy, either. Uncle, please praise me too."
Megan felt envy. She felt envy when Luke was praised. She felt envy that uncle would show such soft
attitude to Luke. She felt happy even if she was scolded by uncle. Because even if she was scolded,
she felt like Dad’s love.
"Well. Megan is a good girl."
Brian smiled and then picked up Megan. These days, he had been avoiding to see Winnie, so he
couldn't even see the children. Now when he saw the two children, he knew that it was not only Winnie
that he thought of but also two children.
"Uncle, Mommy said you were on a business trip. Did you just come back today?"
Megan asked sweetly. She felt like she was going crazy because she missed uncle so much.
Brian was slightly startled.
He didn't come here for so many days, but Winnie told the children that he was on a business trip?
"Yes, I only came back today."
Brian glanced at Winnie, only lying to the kids.
At this time, Winnie put down the handbag and went directly to the kitchen with the vegetables. Since
Brian's attention was on the two children, she didn't need to pretend.
Brian's attention was half on the child, and the remaining half had been locked on Winnie's body.
When she saw him, she was not in high spirits. She only glanced at him after entering the house, and
then never looked at him again.
After Brian talked to the two children for a while, Winnie still did not come out of the kitchen. So Brian
went directly to the kitchen.
"Isn't it a little early to prepare dinner now?"
Brian looked at Winnie who was washing vegetables and said coldly.
Winnie's hand paused. Without looking up, she answered directly.
"No. When the children are hungry and I come to cook, it will be too late. Vanessa is coming back soon.
She will be hungry after school."
Winnie's voice was a little indifferent, without any emotion. But when he mentioned Vanessa, Winnie
just wanted him to leave now.
"You told the children that I was on a business trip?"
Brian didn't know why Winnie was a little angry. He thought that it was just she hadn't seen him for
many days.
"Yeah."
Winnie answered straightforwardly, but her tone was obviously angry.
"I…"
"I know that you were not on a business trip. But I don’t know how to answer children's question."
Although Winnie didn't want to see Brian, she could also see that Brian was deliberately avoiding her
these days. When she came out of the office and got off the parking lot, she saw Brian leaving quickly,
which was enough to prove it.
Brian deliberately avoided her, so he would not come to see the children. What Winnie could do was to
lie to children.
"..."
Winnie's words made Brian ashamed. How should he explain the fact that he worked on the same floor
with her but didn't meet her for a few days?
"You have already seen children. If there is nothing else, please go back. If Vanessa sees you, she will
ask me about you again."
Winnie started to wash the vegetables while saying, but she still did not look up at Brian.
If she saw him, she was afraid that she would feel upset. If she saw him, she was afraid that his image
in her mind would collapse.
Although she had thought that Brian did not only have her, seeing it with her own eyes made her
unacceptable. She felt so painful as if she saw her husband's derailment. The pain of being betrayed
by Leo four years ago was repeating.
Although she knew that thinking like that was self-deception, and even though she knew that it was
only her who thought so, she still felt pain because she couldn't control herself.
"I haven't seen you for so many days. Why did you just want to drive me away when we meet again?"
Brian had no patience with Winnie's cold attitude. His voice began to be cold.
"It’s..."
Winnie wanted to say, "It's you who are avoiding me", but she stopped after she said the word and
didn't go on. Because she knew that it didn't make sense if she said that. What she was supposed to
do was according to the contract and was just to control herself.
"Nothing. Didn't we make a deal that we can't affect Vanessa? I'm sorry. I forgot that this is your house."
Winnie took a deep breath and finally turned sideways to look at Brian.
"I sold Vanessa's house. I will get the money in two days. At that time, I will buy her a new one. Then
let her move out."
"I have also prepared the fees for Vanessa's cram school. I will transfer the money you give me to your
account when the meal is ready. Vanessa asked me to thank you."
Winnie said calmly. But Brian didn't know why she looked so sad.
He just asked a question. Why did Winnie have such a big reaction? Repay the money. Ask Vanessa to
move out. Maybe it was just because she hadn't seen him for many days, then she vented her
unhappiness to him.
