"The brakes didn't work?"
Brian looked at Kevin in surprise. Then he continued.
"I was walking by and I saw her car parked by the side of the road and I turned around. She and
Megan were in the car. She said that the car had minor problems and did not tell me the brake failure."
Brian was thinking that if the brakes failed, it was definitely not a small problem. But why didn't Winnie
tell him the truth?
"I can’t hear it wrong. Winnie did not tell what happened until Daenerys asked her many times. Is there
any reason for her to be so secretive?"
Instantaneously, Kevin was nervous.
"......"
Brian did not speak. He also felt that Winnie deliberately concealed the problem.
Meanwhile in the bathroom.
Daenerys came out to wash her hands after using the toilet. At this moment, Wendy said to her coldly.
"I heard you and Winnie are the best friends?"
Daenerys stared at Wendy, whose tone was so strange that it made her uncomfortable.
"Yes, better than sisters."
Daenerys said proudly. Her friendship with Winnie was the best work in her life.
"I want you to do me a favor. Please tell Winnie not to use children and friends to get close to Brian.
Brian loves me and he will not give her any chance."
Wendy’s voice was cold and there was contempt and warning in her tone. She warned Winnie and also
warned Daenerys mind her own business.
"What do you mean? Did Winwin use the children or me? What makes you say that?"
Daenerys asked disapprovingly at once.
"Or are you warning me not to get involved with Winnie and Brian?"
Daenerys said sternly. She most hated wretched people like Wendy.
"You think too much. I just want you to send a message to Winnie. I have my reasons for saying so.
Winnie knows very well whether she is close to Brian or not."
At the critical moment, Wendy did not dare to admit that she was warning Daenerys.
"Don't play that with me. You even warned Winwin. How could you let me go? If you are brave enough,
admit that you see me today is to warn me not to set up Winwin and Brian."
Daenerys saw through the mind of Wendy, otherwise she would not speak in that tone or accompany
her to the bathroom.
"I..."
Wendy wanted to explain, afraid that Daenerys would talk nonsense, but Daenerys did not give her a
chance.
"Wendy, you are mean, and it will be counterproductive. What I hate most is duplicity, you are such a
person. It seems that Brian needs to go to the hospital to have his eyes examined. How can he meet a
woman who has problems with both intelligence and characteristic?"
Daenerys glared at Wendy angrily and then shook off the water on her hand, and was to leave.
She took two steps forward but turned around.
"Wendy, I didn't want Winwin to have anything to do with Brian before, but after listening to your
warning, I think it may have a better result if I set them up."
"And, you said you are Brian's fiancée, but you haven't had an engagement, so technically you're an
unmarried couple."
"At best, you are a couple. Even if Winnie has any thoughts about Brian, it is normal. Men and women
have the right to pursue the person they like before they get married."
Daenerys said with awe and turned to leave.
These words would make Wendy became more alert to her, but Daenerys had to say that.
It was her first time to see Wendy, but Wendy was so defiant and vilified Winnie, showing off her
position and power, which Daenerys hated.
She was not so easy to be bullied, nor did she need Wendy to warn her. Although she had not high
status, she could not be randomly bullied.
Wendy felt that she got fooled and was angry gnashing teeth. She wondered if she had underestimated
Daenerys or what she did was abrupt. It was different from what she thought.
The next morning, Winnie went to work by bus. She walked out of the gate of the community and met
Jack by coincidence again.
Winnie wanted to pretend that she did not see him, but Jack deliberately created the chance, so he
would not let Winnie slip away.
"Winnie, get in the car."
Jack said briskly.
"No, I'd rather take the bus."
Winnie continued to walk along the road. But she felt uncomfortable as he drove beside her.
"Get in the car. It's convenient."
"If you don't get in, I'll get down and pull you up."
Jack threatened her, so Winnie had to get in his car.
"You needn't be burdened. I don't pass through here every day. My friend has a dog. He is not at home
and no one takes care of it. He asked me to take care of it for a few days, so I stay at his house. That is
why I pass by here and it is convenient to send you to the company.
To make Winnie feel at ease, Jack made up an excuse.
"It is troublesome. You can leave when you pass by here tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me."
Winnie seldom asked for help and did not want to cause others trouble, so she had a burden even if it
was convenient.
"Well, I won't wait for you tomorrow."
It was his business to wait or not and to let Winnie sit in his car, while it was Winnie's business to have
the burden.
Winnie stopped talking, but bowed her head and played on the phone.
Although she knew it was impolite, she didn't really have anything to talk to him.
"I... I heard something at work."
Jack said with hesitation. He did not know whether this question would hurt Winnie's self-esteem.
Winnie stopped playing her phone. From Jack's cautious tone, she guessed it should be things related
to her and Brian.
"What is it?”
Winnie put away the phone and faced Jack naturally.
"They said you and my brother used to be lovers and then broke up, is that true?"
For fear that those harsh words hurt Winnie, Jack deliberately said their relationship beautiful.
Winnie raised her mouth in self-mockery. It seemed that Jack had saved her face.
How could she possibly be together with Brian? How could she possibly be his lover? For Brian, she
was just for pastime when he was lonely and for physiological need.
"Sort of. We broke up before Wendy came back. But what the staff said was a lot worse than what you
said. Thank you for your consideration."
Winnie said very reluctantly, because in front of Jack she did not know how to explain her relationship
with Brian.
"No, that's what the staff said. Don't worry about it. It's normal for lovers to separate. There's nothing to
be afraid of talking about."
Although he was sad to hear Winnie confirm their relationship, but looking at Winnie’s bitter helpless
face, he could not continue the topic.
"By the way, is Luke good? Did he bring you troubles?"
Jack thought that shifting the conversation to the children would lighten things up and not make the
people in the car angry or embarrassed.
"He is good and gave me no trouble."
Winnie sighed, but she was still depressed.
Tomorrow she would not take his car and planned to drive to work.
Although she didn’t know whether Jack's words were intentional or unintentional, she felt
uncomfortable. It reminded her of those sad days in the Bennet Group.
Brian told Albert to go to the 4S shop to check if Winnie's car was artificial brake failure. After Albert
left, he wanted to call Megan to ask the situation, but she should be in kindergarten at that hour, so he
gave up.
Then he called Daenerys.
"I heard that the brake of Winwin’s car failed. Can you tell me something about it?"
Brian was worried.
"Kevin told you? Winwin forbade me to tell it to anyone. If I tell you, she will blame me."
Daenerys was angry that Kevin told Brian without her permission, but she also wanted to let Brian
know.
She and Winnie thought of the person who might move Winwin’s car: Wendy, Richard, Felix, Klara.
These four people wanted to suppress Winnie because of the relationship between her and Brian, so
he had the obligation to help investigate that.
Among the four, they were ruled out one by one. Felix's status was high and it was impossible to do a
sinister thing. If he was really dissatisfied with Winnie, he would tell Winnie directly.
Although Klara hated Winnie, she had no courage to do reckless things, regardless of her family.
So, Wendy and Richard's possibility was big.
"Tell me, and I'll try not to let her know. If she finds out, I'll say I have someone investigated."
Brian understood the relationship Daenerys and Winnie, but it was the quickest shortcut to know
everything from Daenerys.
"Ok, Winwin checked the surveillance of her community. It was a man dressed in black to move her car.
But she has not found out who it was."
Daenerys roughly told him what happened. She did not tell him the suspected people, because Brian
did not know Wendy had warned Winnie.
In Winnie's words, even if he knew, he would defend Wendy.
"Okay, I know. I'll check the rest."
Brian said coldly.
"Who do you think could have done it?"
Daenerys tentatively asked to see if Brian will suspect Wendy.
"I think Richard is possible. Break failure will cause serious consequences. Now only Richard bears a
grudge against Winwin."
Brian just had speculation, of course, it could be others
It seemed that Winnie knew Brian and knew that he would not suspect Wendy.
"Well, look it up, then. Don't say it was me told you, or Winwin won't tell me anything."
Daenerys would like to see how Brian dealt with it when he found out it was Wendy behind the scene.
"Don't worry, I won't tell her."
