Winnie dropped the conversation because Brian’s opinion made no difference to her at all.
"I'm giving you trouble again. You always know I am drunk. I thought I was at Daenerys’ house, and
that Oscar would take care of me, and I could drink recklessly, but I still ended up in your hands.
It seemed that she was not suitable for drinking at all. After drinking too much, Brian would be around
her, just like now lying awake on a bed.
"Isn’t it good you fall in my hands?"
Asked Brian, who had the opposite idea with Winnie.
Although he felt worried and distressed when Winnie drank too much, he enjoyed being with her.
"Not good. I'll feel indebted to you for making you trouble. And we are together..."
Winnie wanted to say it would make her addicted, she would be reluctant to let go, would made her get
lost. But she couldn't say that.
If she said so, she would be laughed at by him. Why put herself into the abyss of pain?
"What's wrong we are together?"
Brian continued to ask.
"Nothing. I have a headache."
Winnie changed the topic, headache was the best excuse. She could say nothing and do nothing, she
just needed to lie there.
The conversation was cut off, but her heart on Brian could not be cut off.
Winnie closed her eyes and asked herself why Brian attracted her and why she loved him so deeply.
Others said that she was with Brian for money, but only she knew her love for Brian had many reasons,
but not for money.
The two of them lay silent on the bed for a while. Though Winnie forced her eyes closed, Brian could
tell from her breathing that she was not asleep.
"Winwin, why didn't you tell me the brake failure?"
Brian asked.
"How do you know?"
Winnie opened her eyes in surprise, looking at Brian’s serious but cold face.
"I was worried so I called the 4S shop. They said the brake failure is artificial."
With a simple excuse, Brian cleared Daenerys.
He did not want to expose Daenerys, because Daenerys was the only one Winnie trusted, the only one
she could tell the truth to.
If she could not tell her feeling to Daenerys, she had no one to talk to.
"Yes. It was the brake failure and it was artificial."
Winnie believed Brian. It was normal for him to be concerned because his daughter was in the car.
"Winwin, I have asked Albert to check. Who do you think could have done it?"
Brian continued to ask to see if Winnie's suspicions were consistent with him.
"I don't know. It could be someone who hates me. There are so many people who hate me, I'm not
surprised."
Winnie said indifferently. Even if it was Klara, she felt likely. But no matter it was Klara or Wendy, Brian
would not believe her.
Compared to these two women, she was the one who liked to lie, in his view.
"No, not that many people hate you. I think Richard is more likely because he hasn't been caught yet."
Brian did not accept what Winnie said but he understood. He spoke against her statement, because
listen he felt distressed about her words
"It could be him. Since you have already let Albert check, please let me know when you have the
result."
Winnie knew that he would not suspect Wendy, or Klara. But why didn't he think carefully before he
spoke? The person Richard hated more was him than her.
He bought the Burns Group, let the Burns Group go bankruptcy. Richard should seek Brian even if he
wanted revenge. How could he deal with her, an insignificant figure?
The next day in Brian’s office.
After a busy morning, Brian finally had a rest. He took out a delicate necklace from the drawer. This
necklace was customized by Brian in MG exclusively. There was the only one in the world, which was
in the same grade with that diamond ring.
This was a birthday gift for Winnie. He planned to give it to her on her birthday, and hoped she could
like it.
Brian sighed and then got up and walked to the window. The necklace was still quietly hanging on his
hand, but he didn’t know whether Winnie would accept it.
Looking at the gift, Brian thought of last night.
Sleeping on the same bed with Winnie was dependable.
Brian was remembering, and then the sound of opening the door interrupted his train of thought.
Displeased, he turned to look at the door. As he was to be angry that the person got in without
knocking, he saw Wendy walked in carrying things with both hands.
Brian quickly put the necklace into his pants pocket when he saw Wendy, but he failed to put it away
completely, and part of the necklace was exposed.
Wendy found something wrong and saw the silvery thing in his pocket.
Wendy pretended not to see it and put things on the tea table.
"If you don't mind, I came in without knocking because I had things in both hands."
"These are lunches. I made them myself. I thought it is the right time for you to be off, so I came to
have lunch with you."
Wendy said with a sense of achievement. This lunch had taken her a whole morning. She could not tell
whether it was good or not, but her intention was absolutely good.
"I was just going to ask my secretary to get me lunch, and you came just in time. I'll wash my hands
and eat with you."
He returned to his desk and bent down to put the necklace in the drawer. This angle was blocked by
the desk, and Wendy should not be able to see what he was holding.
Brian put away the necklace and went to the break room to wash his hands.
Although Wendy was placing lunch, her attention was on Brian. She couldn't see what he was doing at
his desk, but when he went to wash his hands, she could clearly see that the silvery thing was gone.
Wendy at the moment struggled in heart. She was curious about it, but with the last lesson, she did not
dare to move Brian's things, or he would be angry.
Wendy set the table and Brian came out of the break room.
As they were about to sit down to have dinner, the secretary knocked at the door and came in.
"Mr. Bennet, the cleaner in charge of cleaning the conference room suddenly fainted. She is at the door
of the conference room, do you want to go and have a look?"
The secretary was very anxious. Now it was the rest time, and there were few people on the 30th floor.
Albert was not there, she was scared, so she came to Brian for help.
Brian walked out. He knew that this secretary would not easily disturb him if it were not serious.
After Brian ran out, the door of the office also closed, leaving only Wendy in the office. At this time,
Wendy was not worried about the cleaner outside, nor whether the lunch she made would be cool, but
the silver thing she saw.
Wendy struggled in heart for a moment, and finally she came to Brian’s desk.
Only one drawer could be opened. After opening, she saw silvery thing lay quietly in the drawer.
It was a delicate necklace with a pendant. The pendant was ordinary, two rings wrapped together, but
the craftsmanship and material of was extraordinary.
Wendy examined every part of the necklace and found only a "W" on the inside of the pendant.
Normally, if it had no special meaning, the letter was the artisan's seal.
Wendy took out the box to look at the necklace. This time she finally knew the basic information of the
necklace. It was handmade by a chief craftsman in MG country, and the craftsmanship of this
craftsman cost more than two million yuan. So this seemingly innocuous necklace cost at least five
million.
The necklace was newly made, and it was clearly that Brian would give it to others. But who would he
give it to?
Wendy put the necklace back and then sat back on the sofa, but she kept thinking of the necklace. She
took out her mobile phone and began to search online for information about the craftsman. After
checking, she determined that the craftsman's seal was not a W.
So what was this W?
Was it “W” for Wendy? Was it a gift for her?
Thinking of this, Wendy was excited. Thinking of the way Brian just deliberately hid it. Was it a
surprise?
Wendy was pleased and thought it could be a gift to her. She even began to look forward to what kind
of romantic situation Brian would give her this gift.
Brian didn't take long to come back, and Wendy got up quickly.
"Well, how's the cleaner?”
Wendy asked anxiously.
“She is awake and has been taken to the hospital.”
Brian replied in a low voice.
"Ok, wash our hands and have dinner."
Wendy said, looking down at the food.
"It is cold?"”
Whispered Wendy, disappointed.
"Never mind, I can eat. I'll wash my hands."
Brian saw Wendy's frustration. Even if the food was cold, he could eat and did not want her to the
disappointed.
Oscar went to the prison after telling Winnie and Daenerys.
Whatever Penny did was right or wrong, they were good friends. Now that he was back in B City, he
should come and see her.
Very few people came to see Penny, and when the prison police called her, they didn't tell who it was.
She wondered who had come to see her.
Winnie, Daenerys or that Man?
When she saw the man outside the glass wall, she was so surprised that she froze there.
Gradually her eyes turned wet, blurred, with tears flowing down.
"I haven't seen you for years..."
Penny sat down, and could not go on after this sentence.
Penny sat down, and could not go on after this sentence.
