"Are you wrong? Now you realize that you are wrong? Do you know that Luke was suffering from
depression because of being abused by Penny? I asked you to be gentle with him and try to give him
more love, but what about you? You just know to make things difficult to me. As a father, is it what you
should do? He is your child. Isn't he important than your woman?"
Winnie almost yelled. She questioned loudly, tears streaming down her face. She felt heartbreak.
Winnie despised Brian. For other women, he made her child suffer.
"Depression? Luke?"
Brian was shocked again.
"Yes, Luke, because of your neglect of him, he was depressed. He left a shadow that could not be
erased for a lifetime. I can’t figure it out. You are so powerful. Penny is not Luke’s real mother. Why
can’t you divorce her? Why do you still keep her by your side? Why do you want to covet the strength
of her family? Did you know that Luke's life was almost ruined by her?"
At this time, Winnie was almost crazy. She could no longer care about what she should say and what
she shouldn’t say.
Brian suddenly looked at Winnie coldly.
"How do you know that Penny is not Luke's mom?"
"Not only I know, Luke also knows. Luke told me all this. Which mother does not love her children?
Which mother is willing to abuse the child like that? If Penny is Luke’s mother, I won’t ask you to
divorce her. Would I be so cruel to separate Luke from his mother?"
Winnie cried so fiercely. But she still held on to confront Brian. He should have known all this, and he
should have endured all this a long time ago.
"Luke also knows it?"
Brian muttered to himself. He was no longer as furious as just now. He just felt guilt towards Luke.
He thought that all this was well concealed. He thought that Luke could grow up happily if he had a
Mommy. He didn't expect Luke to know everything. He didn’t expect that Luke had to bear so much.
As for him, what had he done for so many years? He blamed all the resentment on Luke just for the
departure of that woman. He ignored Luke. He didn’t care about Luke. It turned out that he was the
culprit. It turned out that he was the one who deserved to be scolded the most.
Winnie had no strength because of crying so long at this time. She didn't want to answer Brian's
question. If he wanted to get the truth, he could investigate it himself. If she said more, he would think
she was a liar again.
The studio fell silent. The only voice that could be heard was Winnie's low sob. For a long while, Brian's
eyes became cold again. He frowned.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed a phone number.
"Find someone to temporarily manage MT. Call Morgan over. You, Morgan and Calvin, the three of you
will do your best to deal with the Burns Group and buy it in the shortest time."
Brian gave the order coldly. He had to let the Burns Group pay the price. He had to let Penny regret to
beat up Luke, and let Penny return to the poor college days.
Brian put down the phone. But he was still full of anger. Looking at Winnie's red eyes, he felt guilty.
Walking to Winnie's side, he pulled her onto the sofa. Then he took a tissue to help Winnie wipe the
tears off.
"Don't cry. I'm sorry for Luke. I will definitely not let Penny go."
Brian held back his resentment towards Penny and comforted Winnie in a low voice.
At this moment, the person he should be most grateful to was Winnie, who used her own power to save
Luke.
Hearing that Brian was about to acquire the Burns Group immediately, Winnie relaxed a little. She
gradually stopped crying.
She took a deep breath with trembling voice.
"I insist on letting Penny leave you. It's not because I have any selfish intentions. I just want Luke to
grow up in a good environment. If you can separate from Penny, I won't worry about it."
After Winnie finished speaking, she took a deep breath, as if to exhale all the muddy breath in her
body.
"I told you that I will separate from her. We have some special relationship. We just signed a contract.
The contract will be terminated when the time is up."
Brian tried to comfort Winnie. He understood everything she did to Luke now.
Winnie was a little shocked that they turned out to be a contractual marriage. But Winnie calmly
thought about that matter again. He and Penny had already had sex. What was the difference between
a contractual marriage and a real marriage?
"I don’t care about that. It's your own business. I just want Luke to grow up in a good environment. If
you can't give him a good growth environment, I'm willing to take care of him until he grows up."
Even if the contract was terminated, maybe there was second Penny. But if the woman could accept
Luke, she would leave.
"I can give him a good growth environment. I am already sorry for him. I can't let him continue to be
hurt."
Brian assured Winnie that he would never let Luke suffer any harm.
"Where is that woman? Can you guarantee that she won't be the second Penny?"
Winnie felt that she had asked something that she shouldn't ask. But she had to be sure. Otherwise,
she would never be relieved.
"..."
Brian didn’t answer. His face was a little terrible.
"Forget it. When the woman comes back, if she really can't accept Luke, you can give me Luke."
With that said, Winnie really hoped that woman couldn't accept Luke, so that she could live with Luke
forever.
"How did you know that Luke was abused?"
After a moment of silence, Brian changed the topic.
He couldn't answer Winnie, because he was not sure whether Wendy would accept Luke.
"The first time I saw a bruise on Luke's legs, so I asked Luke. He said that it was Mommy who beat
him. Later Luke told me that Mommy was not his real Mommy, so I gave Luke a doll. The doll’s eyes
are cameras, connected to my phone. So I know."
At that time, Winnie took great pains, but the purpose was simple, just to help Luke in time.
"You told me not to leave Luke alone because of this?"
Brian thought about those things. Then he found everything seemed to make sense.
"Yes, but you didn't listen to me, so Luke was beaten."
Winnie felt a little disappointed. She still felt heartbreak for Luke.
"Last time, when we were on a business trip together, you ran to me and cried for this?"
"Yes, it was that time. After that, I used various methods to keep Luke by my side. I exchanged a piece
of software for Luke's staying with me, but in the end, Luke was still taken away by the chairman, or
else Luke didn’t have to be abused once."
Winnie said in a low voice. After sighed to relieve her sorrows, she continued.
"Luke was abused by Penny. I gave you so many calls but you didn’t answer. I wanted to drive over but
I don’t know where you live. I called Klara. Klara didn’t tell me. I had no choice but to call the chairman.
I scolded Klara because of it. But in the end, I was scolded by you."
Finally, Winnie had the opportunity to tell the truth of the matter, and finally she had the opportunity to
clarify for herself. Every time when Winnie thought of this, she felt heartbroken.
"When I rescued Luke, I vowed that I would never let Luke suffer such a pain again, but he still got
depression. During this period, Penny went to kindergarten several times to take Luke away. I didn't
agree."
"Sorry, I made you bear what you shouldn't have to bear."
Brian was ashamed of himself. He felt guilty for Winnie. He had never thought of how much wronged
Winnie suffered during this period.
"Penny stolen your mobile phone and smashed your computer because of these videos, right? So she
always makes troubles for you, right?"
Everything could be explained now, except that Winnie was still a mystery, there was nothing else to
explore.
"Yes, I said at the beginning that Penny and Klara partnered to steal my mobile phone. You don't
believe me. What can I do?
Winnie said sadly. For Brian, she really had no ways. Since Brian first met her, Brian was skeptical
about everything she said.
Later she also gave up. Just let Brian believe others and doubt her. His eyes were not good and his
ears didn't want to hear the most authentic things, so why bothered him?
"Sorry, I…"
At this moment, Brian could only say a few words. Winnie was tired of listening to him saying sorry.
"Stop saying sorry. From your point of view, you don't think you have done anything wrong, so why
bother to say sorry? Our positions are different. I can understand you."
Winnie interrupted Brian. She had already gotten the grievance. She had already taken the blame.
Sorry couldn't smooth this out. It just made her feel even more sad.
"Okay, you already know the things. It's your business how to do it. Be nice to Luke in the future. It will
take some time for him to recover."
Winnie said that she got up. No matter what happened, she had to go on. Life had to go on. She
couldn't sit here and listen to him saying sorry.
"Winwin, I still want to know one thing."
Brian spoke in time.
Winnie did not speak. She just quietly waited for Brian to continue speaking.
"Is it true that Penny said you were a liar?"
Brian wanted to figure out the thing. Although Penny's words were not credible, Leo had not given him
a positive answer. Although the result of Albert's investigation was negative, Winnie never denied it.
When Winnie heard Brian's words, she smiled bitterly.
"If you can ask me the question, it means that you just believe Penny's words. If you believe me, you
won’t ask me. Of course I am a liar. I deceived you one hundred million. Even if I say I'm not a liar, you
wouldn't believe it."
So just treat her as a liar! Just hurt her as much as he wanted, lest she got stuck in the quagmire of
love and couldn't get out.
Winnie turned and left. It didn't matter whether she was a liar or not. It didn't matter how Brian thought
of her. If Brian could let Luke live with her, she would rather be a liar.
Brian couldn't describe his feeling today. For the first time, he felt that he had hurt others. There were
two people he had hurt. One was his son... The other was his woman.
Now the person he hated most was Penny, but he must endure her for a period of time. After the
acquisition of the Burns Group was over, he would let Penny pay for the price.
