Winnie’s sneeze made Brian nervous, he asked with concern.
“Have you caught a cold?”
"It's all right, what do you want to say... Atishoo."
Winnie sneezed again.
"If it's cold, I can turn up the temperature of the air conditioner?"
Worried, Brian didn't say what he wanted to say.
"I'm fine, but the perfume is too strong for me."
Winnie covered her nose and breathed with her mouth, and it seemed better.
She had never smelled this perfume, but she knew it must be a strong perfume for women. Her nose
could only accept the light one; this one was too strong.
"Let’s get off and talk. The perfume will stay for a while."
With that, Brian opened the door and got out of the car.
He knew that the perfume was left by Wendy, and it was not suitable for Winnie.
Winnie got off the car too. It was better, and she had no need to be stiff.
Two people came to stand next the car. Winnie finally could breathe smoothly.
"Say it, what is it?"
"Grandpa came back. I told him that Luke was here with you and he asked me to say thank you and
that he was relieved that you take care of Luke."
"Grandpa will probably come to you and thank you personally. Be careful what you say. I still haven't
told Grandpa that Megan is my child."
She knew that and he had no need to tell her. It was just an excuse he came to see her.
"I know. It that all? I gotta go upstairs."
Winnie was not stupid. She could handle it.
"A present. A present from Grandpa."
Brian opened the trunk and took out the present.
"Grandpa prepared this for you and two children. Albert, help send it up."
Brian ordered. Seeing that Winnie's state was OK, he could feel relieved and did not expect to get
along with her for a longer time. Although he was reluctant, he had to give up.
Albert ran to take it.
"I can take it myself."
"Let me do it, I will send you up, Winnie."
Albert said.
"Let me do it, next time I won't come down. Please send it up next time."
Winnie said.
Then she took the thing in Brian's hand and turned to leave. After two steps, she stopped and looked
back at Brian.
"Talk in the telephone in the future, if you get things for the children, please ask Albert to give me."
Winnie said ruthlessly and then left.
It was no big deal. There was no need to meet like this. Otherwise, she would become Wendy's enemy.
Looking at Winnie's retreating figure, Albert could not help speaking.
"Mr. Bennet, it's not easy to see Winnie once. Why don't you stay her for a while? If she says so, how
can you ever see her again?"
Albert was anxious that they tortured each other like that. He had been holding back this sentence for a
long time, but today he got courage and said it out.
"What difference will it make if she stays longer? I still can't sway Grandpa."
Brian was not angry, but the tone was sad.
"Mr. Bennet, Chairman is so old that one day he will be gone, and then he won't be in charge of you.
Happiness is yours. Would you rather live in misery all your life?"
"I don't want to see you suffer. I want you to be with Winnie more than anyone else. I want you to be
happy."
Albert wasn't complimenting, and he knew that Brian didn't buy it.
He said these words from the bottom of heart and he did not want a couple to separate.
"I know, but Wendy is not easy to be dealt with."
"Albert, am I so obvious? Even you can see I like her."
Brian's eyes were fixed on Winnie's back. He only felt reluctant to part.
"I was rude today, Mr. Bennet, what you said is implicit. You love her. Not only I can see it, everyone
could see that, including Klara, otherwise she would not have done those things to Winnie."
Albert almost said even a fool could see that.
"You all know, why Winwin can't see it?"
Brian seemed to be asking himself as well as Winnie. Now he was conflicted in the hope that Winnie
knew his heart.
"Mr. Bennet, Winnie heard you said you don't like her, how could she see that?"
"Mr. Bennet, Winnie is such a good person, I think..."
Albert wanted to continue to persuade Brian, but Brian changed the topic.
"Albert, be careful of grandpa, tell his men the money could not be taken in vain. Do it well."
Brian ordered, and then got into the car.
He knew that Winnie was a good woman, if not, he would not fall in love with her, but he should let her
live better, and she could only stay away from him.
The next day Thomas went out and came to a remote abandoned factory, to see a person he hated.
"Are you not afraid of being arrested by the police to contact me at this time?"
Thomas grimly said. He came to see Richard.
"I can only think of you at this time. How is my daughter now?"
Richard asked. He looked messy, and had no prestige anymore.
"I heard she got six years sentence in person. You're still thinking about her, can't you protect yourself?
It was your daughter who had done wrong."
Thomas said angrily.
"I know it was her mistake, but she was my child. Thomas, we're in trouble now. Now that you're here,
help me."
Richard's voice became serious. When he heard that his daughter was sentenced six years in prison,
he felt more at ease. It was not so long, and it was better than he had expected.
"I haven't even settled with you yet. If I had been told these things earlier, I would not have come back."
Thinking that he got cheated, Thomas was in anger. He maliciously looked at Richard and was angry
that he destroy his things.
"The speed of the Bennet Group's acquisition of the Burns Group caught people off guard and I was
unprepared. I wouldn't have let you back if I'd known."
Richard's explanation was not convincing at all, which made Thomas even more annoyed.
"You don't know? Your company had long been in trouble. Otherwise, Brian wouldn't have found an
opportunity. And that precious daughter of yours even dare abuse the child of the Bennet family. It was
merciful to bankrupt you and put you in prison, if it were my father, he would have killed you."
Thomas said angrily. He really did not expect that Penny would do that.
"It's no use talking about it now. Help me find a place to hide. It's an abandoned factory. It's getting cold
and I can't stand it at night."
Richard did not continue the topic, no matter what Thomas said, now it was too late. Now he could only
rely on Thomas now.
"If I give you a hiding place, I am to commit a crime"
Thomas stared at Richard with eyes widened and anger. At this time, it would be good Richard was as
far away from him as possible.
"Don't call me again. I'll be out of the country soon."
Thomas turned around to leave.
Richard sure would not give up this rare opportunity.
“Thomas, you will give up your plan? I know a lot about Brian. And you can't be so heartless. We have
been partners for many years. I know you well enough, in spite of what I've been through."
Richard's words clearly reached Thomas's ears, making Thomas feel a cool breeze blowing on his
back.
"Stay where you are, and I'll get you a place to stay."
Thomas had no way but to compromise. He did not turn back and continued to walk forward.
"Please visit my daughter, thank you in advance."
Seeing that he had smoothly threated Thomas, Richard's tone became soft. he knew Thomas would
meet all his requirements.
Thomas stopped and then left in resentment.
Winnie's design had been used in online car hailing across the country, and the response had been
very good. Because of this, Winnie suddenly became a celebrity, and many journalists came to
interview her.
After recording the program, Winnie and Leo felt tired.
"It seems that we are not professional. I thought it was easy to shoot films, but I felt I came back from
the battlefield. Now I finally understand the meaning of the saying, "Difference in profession makes one
feel worlds apart."
Leo chanted as he walked.
There were so many magazines and economic programs asking him to be interviewed, but he never
accepted one. But this time it was different, because Winnie was with him.
As long as Winnie was there, he would accept interview as long as he received an invitation.
"I feel the same way. I feel so tired. This is the last time I accept the interview. I won’t accept one again
no matter how much money they pay me."
Winnie looked like a tired dog. This kind of work was difficult for her.
"For the last time, we're not going to be on any show in the future."
"Winwin, let's have lunch together. We can only heal each other with food."
Leo said jokingly. It was good to have his company. Otherwise Winnie might have been unable to hold
on.
"Ok."
Winnie readily agreed.
"Bring the kids out, too."
Leo had been looking for a chance to spend more time with the two children, with whom he had not
seen for a long time.
"The kindergarten is too far from here. I'll starve to death by the time I picked them up. Let's find a
restaurant around here."
Winnie didn't want to be troublesome. And she had to go back after lunch.
