In panic, Winnie put her hand down and had shortness of breath, and even her hands and feet began
to shake.
She backed away in fear that the taxi would stop in front of her and that she would never come back.
At this time, Brian appeared behind Winnie and held the retreating Winnie.
"Ah..."
Winnie screamed, all the reason had been taken away by the scene that day. She thought the men
behind her were going to kidnap her, that he was going to push her into a taxi, and what happened that
day was going to happen again.
She screamed and pushed the man behind her in panic.
"Let me go, don't touch me."
"Winwin..."
Brian felt that Winnie was trembling all over. He knew she had not forgotten what happened.
"Winwin, it is me."
Brian grabbed her and forced her to turn around and look at him.
Winnie looked at Brian in horror and calmed down gradually.
"Winwin, it is all right. There are no bad people here."
Brian's eyes were full of love. Looking at such Winnie, he was suffering. He could not imagine how she
would face such fear after they were separated.
"There are no bad people."
Winnie finally came to herself. Looking at Brian, she wanted to cry, but she held back. Looking at Brian,
she wanted to get into his arms for comfort, if only for a moment, but she refrained.
It might happen again in the future, but would not be with her every time. Now no matter what, she
could only rely on herself. Just like when her father and mother die, she would only support herself.
"Are you all right, Winwin?"
Brian asked with concern. Although panic in Winnie's eyes had reduced, but it could still be seen. She
needed time to soothe and needed to be comforted.
"It is ok, it is ok."
Winnie tried to show that she was strong in front of Brian, but it made Brian feel distressed.
He tightened his arms and held Winnie in his arms.
"Winwin..."
Before he could say a word of comfort, he was rejected by Winnie.
Winnie pushed Brian away, stood upright and forced herself to smile.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
She did not dare to look at Brian, for fear that Brian found the most weak side of her. She did not want
him to feel that she was a poor person.
"Don't take a taxi. I'll take you back to the suburbs."
No one could realize the pain in Brian's heart. Looking at the woman he loved suffering but refused to
embrace him, he really wanted to be impulsive and protect her for a lifetime.
But his impulse was always overcome by reason and could only be suppressed.
"No need. I won't go back to the suburbs. The subway station is ahead. I'll take the subway home."
Winnie temporarily changed the route in order to refuse Brian.
Then she turned around and left without lifting her head.
“Winwin...”
Brian wanted to stop her, but Winnie's footsteps were faster and faster.
Looking at Winnie ran away, Brian hated his own helplessness.
Winnie's fear had not completely disappeared. Brian was worried, so he followed Winnie from behind.
Get into the subway station, stand on the platform waiting for the subway, and together get on the
subway. Brian had been silently following Winnie.
In the car Brian stood not far from Winnie, but he did not let Winnie found that, for fear that Winnie
would again escape.
Winnie found a seat, since she felt unable to support her heavy body. As she sat down, Brian saw her
face.
She had been in a daze and held tears in eyes, which made Brian distressed and sad.
He should fight for his beloved woman, but why there were so many obstacles? If they separated, how
should she live? Would she fear of the future?
When Winnie got home and closed the door, she could not help crying.
Weakly leaning on the door, she slipped to the ground. At the moment, she was sad and disappointed.
She had no hope for everything.
She did not expect that she could not restrain that kind of fear, at that moment, she felt like breaking
down, But she could not break down in the face of Brian. No matter how much fear in heart, she must
force herself to be strong, to calm down.
It all stemmed from love, from her humble unrequited love.
"Brian, you bastard, why do you appear in my world? Did I own you in last life? Do you have to torture
me?"
"You bastard, you jerk."
Winnie cursed loudly, and only when she was alone, could she vent her emotion, or she really could
not hold on.
Although she scolded him, she did not hate Brian, after all, it was she felt into love with him. Therefore,
she could only shoulder all the grievances and pain.
Winnie now knew that love was a dose of intestinal poison. As long as she had it, she could not be able
to get rid of it.
She still cried sadly. Brian standing outside the door had never felt as miserable as he did now, not
even when Wendy left.
He felt much pain in heart and was suffering.
Paul went back to the suburbs after he sent Winnie to the police station and brought Rufus back to the
old house.
Felix was surprised at the moment he saw Rufus. It was the first time in so many years that he went
home at ordinary time. But looking at Rufus's serious face, he knew that Rufus must come back for
something.
"Follow me into the study."
Felix called Rufus to the study. Butler Lowe served them tea and then walked away. The study only left
the two of them. Felix sat on the main seat of the sofa, Rufus sat on the side.
"What is it?"
Felix said with a deep voice and a serious face.
"Do you have to acquire the Burns Group? Can’t you ask Brian get divorced now?"
Rufus got directly into the point. He was still expressionless.
He had lost all his happiness to his father and did not want to see his son suffer the same fate.
That was the reason Rufus' sudden appearance.
"I have to acquire it. He can get a divorce after that."
Felix said firmly. No one could change his idea.
"Do you think the Burns Group is more important than Luke? Without Winnie, Luke would have been
destroyed by Penny."
Rufus was irritated thinking of the fact that Luke had been mistreated. Nothing is more important than
the child in his eyes. But now Penny had hurt Luke.
Felix wrinkled his eyebrows and remained silent. It seemed that Winnie had told Rufus what had
happened. He had come here because he was angry.
"I won't forgive her for what she did to Luke, that is the reason I have to acquire the Burns Group, and I
have to make her regret mistreating Luke."
Felix would not spare Penney and he would have to something to the Burns Group.
In his view, only the Burns Group went bankrupt, it would hit hard on the Burns family, and in that way,
he took revenge for Luke.
"All this is your selfishness. If you had not made them married and had agreed Brian to be with Wendy,
nothing would have happened."
Rufus said directly. He felt it was enough that he sacrificed, but now it continued to the next generation
and there was no intention of stopping. It was because he was selfish.
"......"
Felix frowned coldly, but he said nothing.
It was rare that his son came back. They would quarrel if he continued.
He admitted that he was selfish, but if one lived without selfishness and desire, there would be no
substantial progress, so this kind of selfishness should exist.
The study was silent for a moment, then Rufus spoke again.
"Sooner or later Penny and Brian will divorce. After that, don't force him marry again. Let him find his
own happiness."
Rufus knew that he could not persuade his father, because his father would not change his idea till he
achieved the goal.
But as Brian's father, he had to fight for his child's happiness.
"After the divorce, let him be with Wendy. The development of the Yup family is now good, it is a match
to our family."
Felix had already thought of the future for Brian. If Rufus did not talk about that, he would not break
them up.
"You still have selfish motives. Is the Yup family your next acquisition target?"
Rufus said in a disappointed tone.
'That's Brian's business. If he could acquire --'
"If he could acquire it, you will let him acquire it and divorce Wendy, so that you can arrange his next
marriage?"
"Dad, Brian is your grandson. Don't treat him as a chess piece for the Bennet Group's advance. He
should have his own happiness."
Rufus finally could not help but shouting loudly. As it went on, Brian would be next one of him. He
would not be happy for the rest of his life.
"......"
Felix said nothing, but he agreed with Rufus.
Brian was his grandson, but he was the president of the Bennet Group with millions of employees. He
had the obligation and responsibility to continuously expand the company and make those employees
have a better and better life. Felix should prove with his strength that he did not choose the wrong
successor.
"Don't worry about these things. I won't have much time to take care of it. Whether to acquire the Yup
Group or not is Brian's own business."
In order to make his son feel better, Felix could only cover up in this way.
"So there is no hope for Winnie and Brian?"
Rufus lifted his eyes and asked.
"No, they can’t be together. When Wendy comes back, Winnie has to leave."
Felix said ruthlessly, but his eyes had inexplicable feelings.
Winnie had good character. She was kind and sensible, and he liked her. Besides, she was capable. If
she worked for the Bennet Group, she would make great achievement. But unfortunately she did not
have family background, which did not meet the standard that he chose granddaughter-in-
law.
