Winnie sent a message, but after that, she regretted it. It was like a temptation.
However, the message sent could not been recalled.
“It's the only way, and because I love you, I want all the best for you. Marriage is something you have
been waiting for so many years. When you are married, you will be happy and I will feel at ease.”
To cover up the previous mistake, Winnie sent another message.
“Don't worry about the children, they're much better now, and they'll get over it in a few days after you
get married. You can't wait forever. You don't have a lot of time to waste.”
Brian received two messages one after another, the first made him feel warm in heart, and the second
one was unacceptable.
“Marrying Wendy is something I've been looking forward to for years, but...now that I've waited for
years, I can keep waiting for my children. I will keep my promise to my children and never hurt them on
this matter.”
“I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If I didn't show up, you wouldn't be in dilemma.”
Winnie had remorse. Although she had saved Luke, she felt sorry for Brian. It was her return that broke
Brian's happiness. It was her return that turned his life into a complete mess. Now he could not even
have a delicious home-cooked meal.
“Don't say that.”
Brian thought it was he who should say sorry. He felt sorry to Winnie and the children.
“How about...”
As Winnie sent only two words, Brian had known what she wanted to say.
“Do you want to go away with the children? How can I live with peace of mind when the children are
gone? What do I do when I miss them? Never say or even think of it again.”
Winnie could not leave. If he could not see her, he would become a walking dead.
“Well, never mind. I'm going to sleep. Good night.”
Winnie did not continue, because she found her heart pain and missed Brian.
Wendy had been brokenhearted about the necklace. When she drank with Klara and Laura, she did not
mention it but just said some unimportant things.
“Klara, Laura, do you think that Brian no longer loves me and that we are going to break up?”
Wendy was drunk.
“No, Wendy, you think too much. Mr. Bennet loves you. Otherwise, why does he prepare a wedding
room?”
Klara comforted her, but she knew that Brian loved Winnie. Wendy had become the past, but Brian is
did not abandon Wendy because of Felix.
But Wendy could hold on to her position for a while.
“I don't think much about it. I think he doesn't love me anymore. In the long time since I have been
back, he has never voluntarily held my hand, never kissed me. I have visited the wedding house many
times, but he has never been there.”
“He divorced Penny and gave the house to. Where do you think he lives?”
Wendy asked Klara and Laura, but she gave her own answer before they gave a response.
“He's been living in the break room of the company. Is this still a normal man?”
“He... Even if he doesn't have a place to stay, he can find a hotel. Maybe I can stay there too...I'm not
allowed to go into his break room.”
“It is abominable, damn Brian, if he dares to abandon me, I will let him regret, and I will vent my anger
to Winnie to make him painful.”
Wendy's speech was disorganized and broken.
But these were the stone that pressed on her heart, making her breathless and was to go mad.
She felt that she had been very hard to restore their feelings, but a person's efforts were useless, Brian
had to restore it too.
“It must be Winnie’s fault. If she had stayed away from Mr. Bennet, it would not have happened.”
Laura also drank a lot and began to speak freely.
“Yes, Laura, you are right. If it hadn't been for her, I would have been Mrs. Bennet by now. If it hadn't
been for her, Brian wouldn't have betrayed me.”
Wendy agreed with what Laura said. She thought Laura was good friend standing on her side..
“Winnie's fault is for sure, so you have to find a breakthrough in Winnie. You can’t go too far to Mr.
Bennet, or it will have the opposite effect.”
Klara, the consigliere, began to make plans.
From what Wendy said, she heard important news. It turned out that Brian had been living in the
company for so long.
“If I make things too complicated, Brian will feel very sorry for Winnie and will have some complaints
against me. I'm wondering if I can find a way not to be found by Brian.”
Wendy hoped that Winnie could disappear as soon as possible and take the two children away. But
Luke was the most precious treasure for the Bennet family, they would allow Luke to leave.
If Luke would not leave, Winnie would not leave. Winnie would take the child as an excuse to haunt
Brian for a lifetime. Even if she married Brian, she would not be happy, because there would always be
a Winnie between them.
“Then take the time.”
Klara said darkly.
“What do you mean?”
Wendy asked doubtfully.
“Just keep quiet and don't hurt her. You can hurt her mentally and then Mr. Bennet won't do anything to
you even if he knows you did that.”
“Wendy, you don't have to worry. Your position can protect you, the chairman will not accept Winnie.
And even Penny was a mistress of Mr. Bennet.”
“So you have time, take it slowly. You can mentally torture her and make her get out of it.”
Klara said insidiously, anyhow, she must not let Winnie stay with Brian.
“But... But it won't hurt. If she doesn't leave..”
Wendy had no confidence. She had different thought with Klara, because she knew that Felix did not
like her. And her family was hardly her ace in the hole.
“That's the other extreme.”
Klara continued to give advice.
“The other extreme?”
“Do you know Penny? She suppressed...No, she eradicated, to get rid of the root without leaving future
trouble.”
Klara began to tell the story between Penny and Winnie.
“If it hadn't been for Winnie's luck and Penny's failure, Winnie would have become ashes. Penny's
every move was fatal. She wanted Winnie to die.”
“Of course we don't have to go that far, that would be self-destructive, but Winnie really can't stay with
Mr. Bennet. You can try to get rid of Winnie by using other people's hands.”
Klara began to encourage Wendy. Although she said they did not have to go that for, it was her
thought. If Wendy ended up like Penny, she would win in the end.
“Using other people's hand?”
Wendy was puzzled.
She did not know whom she could rely on, nor did she have the courage to do that.
She would not fight like Penny, or she would end up as Penny. She would try her best to fight for Brian,
but she would not kill Winnie.
One reason was that she did not have that courage. Another reason was that Brian loved Winnie. It
was very difficult for others to do anything to Winnie.
Although she did not hear the specific things of Penny, she knew it was Brian in the protection of
Winnie since Penny failed to kill Winnie.
“I think that if should visit Penny some time, she may be able to help you.”
Klara could only think of Penny. Others had no much hatred to Winnie and they would not help Wendy.
“She's in prison. What can she do? I don't want to go there.”
Wendy felt it was not feasible. It was ok with ask for help, but Penny was not the right person.
“Klara......”
As Wendy was about to speak, her mobile phone rang.
She took out her phone and suddenly her face changed when she saw the caller ID. She looked up in
confusion.
“I'm going to answer the phone, you talk.”
Wendy got up, but she almost feel because of dizziness due to the effect of alcohol.
“I'll help you.”
Klara got up and offered to help, but Wendy refused.
“No, I'm fine. You go on thinking of a way.”
Wendy managed to pull herself together, and though her legs were weak, she walked out.
Klara looked at Wendy who was nervous. She felt something wrong.
She looked across the table and saw that Laura had fallen asleep. Then she got up and quietly
followed Wendy.
Wendy found a safe passage and picked up phone.
“Didn't I tell you not to call me?”
“......”
“I have nothing to do with you now, and you are still harassing me. Are you out of your mind?”
“......”
“Well, you were the one who wanted to break up. I'm warning you, if you bother me again, I'll call the
police.”
...
After Klara returned home, she thought about that all the time. So Wendy was not single in the past few
years, and it sounded like she had just broken up for a short time.
If Brian knew that, would he keep her around? It seemed that it was impossible for Wendy to be with
Brian. Even if she had a family background to support her, she could not finally achieve what she
wanted.
