"I warned you, but you didn't correct it. You should understand what Leo said that day. Klara, you
should give up on me. If you continue to stay with me, you will be jealous of Wendy when she comes
back. Since you could not do the distinction between private and private, you can only leave me."
Brian said indifferently. He did not want such a thing to happen, but in order not to make her go deeper
and deeper, he had to do so.
Brian's words made Klara understand that Brian had known she was disrespect to and jealousy of
Winnie.
Klara hated Winnie deeply, but she had nothing to say, after all, these were the facts.
"I see, Mr. Bennet. I accept the transfer. I will work harder and I will not let you down."
Klara turned to leave, and the moment she turned around, her eyes were full of disobedience and
resentment.
The office felt into the dead silence. Brian felt sorry for the dead assistant, but there was nothing he
could do.
Albert said nothing since he entered the office, he had expected the transfer of Klara. He warned Klara
more than once, but she did not take the advice, so it was her come to such an end.
"Fine me a male secretary. No female staff to me in the future."
Brian reminded Albert coldly. He did want to handle such trouble again.
"I see, Mr. Bennet. I will do it tomorrow."
Albert paused before he said.
"Mr. Bennet, the breach of the Burns Groups has been found. As long as we make a move, it would go
bankrupt."
Albert came to report this good news. They finally found an opportunity with Rufus's help.
"Found it? Good, wait for my orders."
Brian was surprised. Everything related to the Burns Group would come to an end and he would finish
the task his grandpa gave. From now on, he would be out of his grandpa's control.
Penny was defiant and resentful. When she was evicted from the Bennet Group, almost everyone saw
that. She was humiliated and ashamed.
However, she owed all this to Winnie. Without Winnie, she would not have the current ending; Without
Winnie, her contract marriage would continue; Without Winnie, she was still Mrs. Bennet.
At the moment she did not have backup and she would be laughed at by her brothers and sisters, be
abandoned by her father, because she had no use for the Burns family. She would have nothing.
No, she would not allow such a thing to happen, and would not be looked down by Winnie.
Penny was to call Winnie. She wanted to scold her, but as she pulled out the phone, Richard called her.
Penny was afraid that Richard had already known about the matter of breaking off the marriage. After a
moment's hesitation, she picked up the phone nervously.
"Dad."
Penny's voice was timid and she was ready to be scolded.
"Where are you, can you talk now?"
Richard's voice sounded eager, but not abusive.
"I'm in the car, I can talk."
Penny felt mysterious and looked around.
"I told you that Winnie had a big background and you should not offend her. I am right."
Richard was slightly flustered.
"What background?"
Penny was puzzled.
"Winnie is not as simple as you said. She is Luke's mother, and the girl with her is Brian's child."
Richard's tone was still shocked, though he had known this for a while.
“What?”
Asked Penny, incredulously.
"Winnie is Luke's real mother."
Richard repeated it again loudly.
"Winnie is Luke's real mother? How is that possible?"
Penny widened eyes in astonishment and she looked straight out of the car.
This news is so shocking and scary. She preferred to believe that it was only a dream, or that Richard
was making a joke with her.
Winnie could not be Luke's mother. How could she have contact with Brian? How could Brian allow a
woman who had nothing to give birth to his child?
It was impossible. It was false. It must be false.
Penny could not believe it, and would not believe it.
If Winnie was Luke's mother, she would not have a chance and had completely lost to Winnie.
"Nothing is impossible, only you think she is so simple, only you always misjudge people. Now, don't
you understand why Brian protects Winnie? Why Brian always stands up for Winnie in everything?"
Richard said angrily.
Penny was too hasty, too careless in everything.
Without knowing the identity of Winnie, she felt with her with sinister measures. This was a big mistake.
"Brian is protecting Winnie?"
Yes, Brian had been protecting Winnie. Since Winnie came back, Brian had never been kind to Penny.
Regarding Winnie’s attitude to Luke, Penny suspected more than once, but she did not expect that she
was Luke's mother.
"You have no hope, leave now. If Brian comes to you, it will get the Burns Group involved."
Richard was already nervous, and the tension was growing stronger and more frightening. It seemed
that the Burns Group would be swallowed up in the next second.
Now only Penny disappeared immediately, Brian would stop being angry and the Burns Group would
be saved. Only when Penny left, he could feel at ease.
"Why should I leave? The police could not find out my fault. It's Winnie who should leave."
Penny lost her mind and shouted loudly over the phone.
She was a weapon of Winnie's growth, a tool that Brian used, and a pawn of her father.
Everyone looked down upon her. She wanted to see if she could make them take her seriously.
“Are you mad? Are you going to make another trouble? If you don't leave now, you won't be able to
leave. The police will find you one day, and Brian won't spare you. Winnie has the evident that you
abused her child, and she will not let you go."
"After all the bad things you've done, you'll die if you don't leave. You can die, but don't bring the Burns
family into trouble."
Richard was furious and could not help scolding Penny.
She always misjudged at critical moments and always didn't know what was important. She was so
stupid
"If I die, I will die with Winnie. I will break off relations with you now. I will not bring the family into
trouble."
Penny snarled angrily and hung up the phone.
At this time, she did not know what to do. Her father made her disappointed and desperate.
Now she began to regret that she went back to her hypocritical father. If she had not left Leo, she would
be happy now.
For the family, she sacrificed a lot, but no one saw it and no one appreciated it. In that case she had
nothing to do with the Burns family.
Penny felt better after a while. She made a call to Winnie, but Winnie did not answer her phone.
She did not know where Winnie was now, what she was doing. She drove her car to suburb and waited
for Winnie on a path that she must take.
Winnie knew the police did not find any evidence. She felt that Daniel must have left something, she
planned to go to the police station after work, perhaps she could provide evidence.
But by the time she got off work and arrived at the police station, the police were off duty.
So Winnie drove home and was ready to be there again the next day.
When she was near home, Winnie found Penny standing in the middle of the road. She knew that
Penny was waiting for her.
She pulled over, and before she could get out of the car, Penny got to the passenger seat. She closed
the door and glared at Winnie with sinister eyes.
"Say it and don't do anything grandiose."
Winnie said and she had been used to Penny who was insidious and angry. She felt it was a waste of
time and energy.
"Grandiose? Isn’t it that grandiose that you are Luke's mother? Isn’t it that grandiose that Megan is
Brian's child?"
Penny was angry and she hated Winnie more than that Winnie hated her.
She hated Winnie and wished her to be death, so that she could be with Brian forever.
"How do you know?"
Winnie was surprised, but soon she adjusted her mood, because soon it would be known to everyone,
including Penny.
"Don't ask me how I know. I just want to know how you seduced Brian and how you got pregnant with
his children."
Penny could not figure it out how Winnie did that.
"Well, I thank you for that. If you hadn't taken Leo away, I would never have had anything to do with
Brian in my whole life."
Winnie gave a cold hum, and did not intend to hide the fact.
“What do you mean?”
Penny was puzzled.
"My family was in an accident at that time. I borrowed money from Leo, but Leo broke up with me and
refused to lend me money because of you. I need a rich man to help me overcome the difficulties, so I
met Brian, and then I had Luke and Megan. Don’t you think I should thank you? How could I give birth
to Brian's children without you?"
Winnie did not hide the fact, but she did not mention surrogacy, for fear of inconvenience to Brian.
Hearing that, Penny's thoughts went back to five years ago.
