Winnie thought in her heart since they could call her name, they must have grasped more information
about her, denial was just futile, she could only give them an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
"You did something you shouldn't have done, do you know?"
The man continued to ask, his voice was cold and terrifying.
"En... I don't know which aspect you are referring to."
Winnie had no idea what these two guys were here for, so how could she possibly know what she had
done wrong.
After Winnie said this, pain came from her shoulder, making her so painful.
But she knew that if she resisted at this time, she would suffer more.
"I really don't know which aspect you guys are referring to, can you be more specific?"
If the two men were not specific, Winnie would not have known who she had offended, so she had to
let the two men to be more specific.
"You do not know what you have done, and you dare to ask us, I think you are an ungrateful thing and
want to go to hell now, right?"
The man who grabbed her shoulder lost his patience and shouted threateningly.
Winnie's heart trembled terribly, but she had to pretend to be fearless.
"I... "
Winnie just wanted to continue to ask for the truth, when a car on the side of the road stopped, the man
sitting on the passenger seat leaned his head out.
"Bros, is there a hotel near here?"
"Get out."
The man grasping Winnie's shoulders shouted impatiently, and only then did the man in the passenger
seat realize that something was wrong.
"Miss, are you in danger, do you want me to call the police?"
The man asked kindly.
Hearing his words, two men were a bit panic, and one man released his hand from Winnie’s shoulder.
Winnie looked at the man sitting on the passenger seat, she was about to open her mouth to ask for
help, one of the men firstly whispered around her ear.
"I'm warning you now, don't destroy other people's families in the future, if you don't behave yourself,
we'll send you to the hell."
Finishing his words, and the two men left with quick steps. But Winnie's heart was beating wildly.
"destroy other people's families", just from this sentence, Winnie could learn that this must be planned
by Penny.
It seemed that she had never been at peace, and she had always been her target.
Winnie crouched down slowly. She never encountered this kind of thing before, fear was inevitable.
The two guys in the car got out and checked for Winnie.
It took a while for Winnie to calm down and thanked the two guys before going home.
Winnie was in a state of shock walking towards home, when she received a call from Felix, nothing
special, but for the matter between Brian and his father.
"Any news?"
Felix's serious and low voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Chairman, I'm really sorry, I'm very busy recently, and there are many things going on in the company,
so there hasn't been any progress yet."
Winnie was a little embarrassed, but there was no way but to let Felix down once again.
"It is out of my expectation, the thing is getting a bit slow. I think you are capable enough. It seems that
this matter is still difficult for you."
Felix was clearly mocking her. But the slow progress was also within his expectation. The reason why
he said this was to provoke Winnie to try harder.
"I have tried my best, but the president always avoids this topic, and every time I mention it he gets
angry. This matter is indeed difficult, please give me more time."
Winnie was afraid that Felix would take back the task, and the task would be taken back at the same
time he would forcefully take back Luke as well, which was something she could not accept. So even if
the task was difficult she had to find a way to complete it.
After receiving the call, the focus of her thoughts was again on the matter of Felix. It seemed that she
had to trouble Kevin again, he must know about Brian's secret.
The next day Winnie went to the hospital at noon, without an appointment, and coincidentally ran into
Kevin in the hospital's park.
The two came to sit in the gazebo and Kevin spoke first.
"I heard from Daenerys that you moved?"
"Well, I did move. The new apartment is close to the kindergarten, so it's convenient to pick up and
drop off the kids."
Winnie said with a gentle face.
"The environment is not as good as the old one, right?"
There were no new-style residential buildings near the kindergarten, so it was easy to know that it was
not as good as the original one.
"Well, it's not comparable to the old one. But it's good enough for us to live in."
Winnie still replied to Kevin with a grudge-free face. Living in such a house she had no regrets and
would not complain to anyone that the environment was not as good as before.
Just thinking about this matter, she thought of Brian's ruthlessness towards her. Brian's attitude was
more than the house issue to make her heart cold.
"The arrangement of the company is too impersonal, you are a very important person for the company,
how can they take back your house?"
Kevin hadn't met Brian yet, and he had heard all this from Daenerys. So he wasn't sure what Brian was
doing this for?
If he didn't want Winnie to be that close to Leo, he should at least prepare a place for them to live
before letting them move.
"I'm not that important, for the company, every employee is important. Klara's family is special, they are
more people and need the house more than I do. It is right for the company to arrange in this way."
All of this Winnie understood well and would not blame Klara for this. In business, she supported Brian
to do so, but in life she was indeed heartbroken because of Brian.
She agreed to move out, but only wanted to postpone for a few days. But she was rejected. Anyone
would be upset for this in their heart.
"I have an empty house which is quite big, you can move in if you like, just for helping me to guard the
house."
Kevin said generously.
"Thank you, Doctor Burns, the place I live now is very good, although it's a little small, but it's quite
cozy. This is also just a temporary place to live, we'll buy a house when Vanessa's exams are over."
Winnie refused him. She was fine now, she didn’t owe anyone any favors or a penny, her heart was
light and eased. She was not in a position that needed someone's help.
"Doctor Burns, I'm looking for you today for something."
Winnie changed the subject.
"For Luke?"
Kevin thought Winnie was going to take Luke for another body check.
"No, it's not for Luke, it's for Brian."
"... "
Winnie told Kevin about what Felix had entrusted her with.
"I don't know anything about Brian's father, and I don't know what have happened between them either,
I have no way to start, so I can only come over to ask you for help."
Kevin’s face got ugly after hearing what Winnie said.
He didn't know if he should tell Winnie the truth, this topic seemed more sensitive than Luke being born
from a surrogate mother. This topic was also the cause of the change in Brian's temperament.
Kevin had known Brian since they were in middle school, when Brian was cheerful and lively, and now
became an iron-faced cold man, which was completely different from the old one. At the age of his 14,
everything changed.
He became cold and gloomy, even cruel to people when it came to something. Since then the Brian
who always put a smile on his face had never returned.
Kevin knew that for so many years Brian was also very depressed and wretched. Although he rarely
met with his father, but he had his father in his heart, but his love was hidden by his hatred.
"You can't tell me the truth, right? If you can't tell me the truth, then give me the address of Brian's
father, I will ask him in person."
Winnie looked at Kevin and knew that things were not simple. She could not make things difficult for a
person, not demanding to know the truth of the matter from him, but she wanted at least to understand
it, otherwise she could not complete her task.
"Did Grandpa threaten you with this matter?"
Kevin finally asked.
"Yes, he said he couldn't let Brian and father make up, or he would take Luke back."
Winnie didn't hide anything, it was for Luke's sake that she took so much trouble to find the reason.
Once again, Kevin went into silence.
It seemed that grandfather believed Winnie could accomplish this task, and it seemed that grandfather
also saw that Winnie was extraordinarily important to Brian. If Winnie could really uncover the hidden
scar between Brian and his father, Brian's repression would also be released, which would be good for
everyone.
"The scar between Brian and his father is because of her mother's death."
Kevin finally decided to tell the truth, he also believed that Winnie could help them heal the scar, so that
it was good for both the father and son.
"That year, his father met a woman outside, his mother chose to suicide because of this matter. Brian
went home to see his mother, just saw her mother jumped off from the building and died in front of
him."
"At that time, it was a great blow to Brian, he could not come out from the trauma for a long time, during
that time he closed himself off and blamed his father for his mother's death. When he could finally
come out of the shadow, the whole person of him changed and he became what he was now, also from
the day his mother died, he and his father did not say a word to each other."
Kevin said in a very low and serious tone, you could imagine how much pain this matter had brought to
Brian.
Winnie didn't expect it could be such a sad story, and she didn't expect Brian to have endured what
others could hardly bear for this matter.
To see your mother die in front of you, how sad he should feel. For all these years, Brian had suffered
so much alone. He was also a man with a very sad and heavy story.
"What about his father?"
Winnie continued to ask.
"He is good, kind and gentle man. The first half of his life was devoted to the Bennet Group, until the
death of Brian's mother, he also suffered a lot, that's when he began to become depressed, and later
gave up everything and moved out to live alone."
"To live alone? What about that woman? He is with that woman now?"
Winnie asked suspiciously, she thought the reason for so many years Brian did not go to see his father
was because Brian's father was living with that woman.
"No, that woman also left him, but I don't know for what. Just because two women left at the same time,
he couldn't accept the fact."
This was all Kevin knew, as to be more specific, and Kevin didn’t know and he never heard Brian said
more about it.
Winnie couldn't figure it out and was silent for a while.
"Doctor Burns, thank you for telling me this, tell me his father's address, I'll go to meet him when I have
the time."
Winnie needed to meet Brian's father first to understand his current condition before she could continue
this difficult task.
"I'll send you the address later. But I'll give you an opinion, take Luke with you, the old man likes him a
lot."
Kevin did not forget to give Winnie a suggestion.
