Winnie continued to comfort.
"There were two possibilities. Luke, the competition is over, no matter what the result is, don’t let the
competition affect your mood. Even if you lost the competition, it is a normal thing. People realized the
joy of winning because of loss."
"In the future you will face a lot of competitions, no matter how big the competition is, you have to treat
it with calm and never let anything affect your emotions."
Winnie said a lot, but Luke, who had depression, needed.
"Luke, there are something you need to learn from Daddy. He is clam in face of difficulties. There was
nothing that Daddy couldn't solve, nothing would become his obstacles. You won't grow up until you
learn how calm Daddy is."
"I know, Mommy, I will not let things get me down, I will learn from Daddy and become a real man."
Luke suddenly enlightened and his mood was not depressed anymore because Mommy's words.
He knew that his Mommy had the best way to ease his troubles, and he knew that his Mommy was not
only the best Mommy but also the best teacher.
"Brother is the best. Brother is the pride of my family."
Megan could not feel the kind of tension of Luke, but she believed her brother could succeed.
Brian ate while listening to Winnie’s advice on Luke.
He cared the most Winnie's evaluation on him. He did not expect in Winnie's heart he was so
successful and became a children's role model.
After dinner, they returned to the hotel. Winnie asked the two children to take a nap and lay down
beside them.
Then she heard Brian's phone ring, followed by the voice of Brian answering the phone.
"I'm out. I'm flying back tonight."
Brian's voice was impatient and cold.
"Then I'll meet you at the airport."
Wendy said with some excitement.
She hadn't seen him for several days, and he hadn't contacted her by phone.
In order to give Brian a surprise, she came to the company, but Brian was on a business trip.
Now Wendy standing by the elevator was ready to go home.
"No need, it will be very late. I have asked Albert to pick me up. I'll contact you tomorrow."
Brian did not want Wendy to see him return with Winnie, or Wendy would be jealousy.
"Ok. The elevator is coming, I gotta go. See you tomorrow."
Winnie listened to Brian, and her intuition told her it must be Wendy. So her heart began to ache.
She seemed to have made a wrong decision. She was a friend with Brian but it still hurt her.
Wendy hung up the phone and got on the elevator.
When the elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor, Klara came in.
Klara knew Wendy but did not speak, just gave a faint smile.
"Are you Klara? I met you in the president's office."
Wendy spoke first.
"Yes, I'm Klara. Hello, Miss Yup."
Klara had to say hello.
"Are you Spencer's wife?"
Wendy continued to ask.
"Yes, thank you for remembering my husband."
No one in this company remembered Spencer.
"If you are not busy, can I talk to you for a minute?"
Wendy offered the invitation.
So the two went to a cafe in the back of the company.
"Klara, Spencer had been gone for so many years, are you single?"
Wendy asked with concern, and did not directly mention the topic she was interested in.
"Yes, I have my parents and child to support, so it's not easy to have a boyfriend. I am good, I just live
like this."
Klara was sad. For so many years, no one mentioned her dead husband, except Brian no one cared
about her family.
Wendy asked her so, which was a kind of concern.
"Then wait until the child is older. It's not easy for you to bring home the bacon all by yourself. If you
have any difficulties in the future, just let me know, and I'll do what I can to help."
"Thank you, Miss Yup."
Klara thanked her faintly; she knew that there was no free lunch.
Wendy and her husband were not that familiar. She did not have to take care of her for him. The only
possibility was that she wanted to know something from her.
As expected, Wendy then said the key point.
"Klara, I wanted to ask you something. I heard that you have been around Brian for so many years. You
must know a lot of things since you left him only a short time ago."
"Miss Yup..."
"Wait, don't call me so politely. Call me Wendy for Spencer's sake."
In order to know more things, Wendy tried to have a close relationship with Klara.
"Okay, I'll call you Wendy."
Klara was innocent and unscheming.
"Wendy, I can tell you anything I know, but don’t let Mr. Bennet know. If he knows, I'll lose my job."
"I won’t. You may rest assured that I will never betray you."
Wendy saw hope and felt that Klara was a simple and kind person. Such a person could become her
eyes in the Bennet Group to keep an eye on Brian and Winnie.
"Ask, then, and I'll tell you if I know."
In fact, Klara had known what she wanted to ask, but she had to make sure ensure her interests, and
could not lose her job because of Wendy.
Now Brian was not the Brian of a year ago. Since Winnie came, he had changed and would dismiss
her at any time.
"You should know what the relationship between Winnie and Brian."
Wendy went to the point. She just wanted to know how far Winnie and Brian had progressed and if they
were seeing each other now.
"There are close and used to live together. They didn't separate until you came back. I don't know if
there is any contact now. But the last time Winnie came to the company, Brian always accompanied
her. This kind of treatment is not available to any employee in the company."
Klara did not conceal. She finally had opportunity to take revenge on Winnie.
Wendy was not obstinate like Penny, and she looked smarter than Penny. She could be used if Klara
was careful enough.
The face of Wendy changed after hearing that. She felt they were ambiguous, but she did not expect
that they had lived together. It seemed that Brian really had feeling for Winnie.
"Do they live in the company?"
Wendy remembered the women's clothes in Brian's office.
"Yes, there's a break room in Mr. Bennet’s office. They rested there when they were busy and had no
time to go home. When I reported work, I saw Winnie come out with disheveled clothes."
Wendy clearly misrepresented the facts and exaggerated what she saw.
Only in this way could make Wendy hate Winnie and drive her away from Brian completely.
"When did they start?”
Wendy continued to ask, but her heart had been unable to calm down.
"Nearly a year. Since Winnie was back, Mr. Bennet felt in love with her, and did a lot of things that he
never did for her."
Klara looked up at Wendy’s gloomy face and knew that she had been interest in Winnie. ‘Winnie,
game’s on.’
"It seems I should have come back earlier, or none of this would have happened."
Wendy seemed to say calmly, but the anger and hate in the eyes had not been able to hide.
"Wendy, don't be angry or discouraged. It's never too late to come back. Mr. Bennet still loves you. It
blamed on Winnie. Knowing that Mr. Bennet has a girlfriend, she stilled seduced him."
"You'll be able to hold your position since you get back. She won't be a threat."
Klara was adding insult to injury and setting up enemies for Winnie. She could not directly handle
Winnie, but she found help, which made things much easier.
"I hope so."
Only Wendy knew if Winnie was a threat. The existence of the two children made her lost half, plus
Brian had feeling for Winnie, she lost another half.
In fact, she did not have much advantage, and it was not easy as Klara said.
It seemed that she had to find a way to get rid of Winnie and that she should plan for her status.
"Klara, I want to ask you a favor. In the future, if you hear anything about Winnie and Brian, please tell
me at the first time, so I could be prepared. Help me, I will not mistreat you."
"I will, few people in this company still remember Spencer, and I am grateful you still remember him. I
will help you for sure."
Klara said kindly, showing her simple and kind side.
She had to make Wendy believe her.
"Wendy, there's something else I want to tell you. Mr. Bennet is on a business trip. One of my friends
worked in the same company of Winnie. When we were chatting, she said that Winnie was also on a
business trip. And they left on the same day. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a design."
Klara’s word made Wendy break down.
She felt uneasy all the time. And Brian deliberately lowered his voice on the phone, which made her
more suspicious.
After parting with Klara, Wendy had been thinking about this matter.
If Brian did go out with Winnie, what would she do?
To expose it on the spot or to pretend she did not know anything.
At two o’clock in the afternoon, the result of the competition was announced on time. Luke lived up to
expectations and won the first place in the children's group in the national competition.
After the host announced the results, Brian and Winnie were excited again.
"My son is great. I knew he could do it."
Brian had never been so restless. This honor was different from the last one. This honor was the first in
the country, of which no one could surpass.
"Well, it's great. He gets your genes."
Winnie was also happy and even praised Brian.
