Laura kept apologizing and her tears kept flowing down, which made Winnie softhearted, but she had
doubts.
“Laura, you said you did not send the pictures, how did the picture posted online?”
“I don't know. I lost my cell phone yesterday and I haven't found it yet. Just now I made a phone call
and it was still off. I don't know if it had anything to do with it.”
“Winnie, believe me, I really did not do it. If you don't believe me, I can swear. I can swear it with my
family. If I lie...”
“Well, Laura, I believe you.”
Winnie could only believe that. She and Laura did not have problem with each other, so Laura would
not do that. It seemed that Laura her lost mobile phone and it might be stolen.
Winnie had been busy all morning and had no time to pay attention to things on the Internet. This
morning, her phone kept ringing and she had to turn it off.
In her opinion, no matter how many people scolded her, no matter how many people knew her through
this matter, it was not as important as her present job.
Brian had been in meetings since he went to work in the morning, and it lasted all morning.
No sooner had he walked into the president's office than Albert came in.
“Mr. Bennet, I have something to report to you.”
“What is it.”
“It's about Winnie.”
Albert opened the websites and found posts about Winnie.
“What's the matter with her?”
Speaking of Winnie, Brian looked back at Albert, and Albert handed the phone to him.
Brian was angry to see that. He frowned and asked Albert with a dark face.
“Have you contacted Winnie?”
“Yes, I did. She did not answer and then turned it off. This post has been reposted millions of times,
and the abuse is even unpleasant. The influence is great, and I am afraid Winnie...”
“Go and see her at once. She should be in the office at this hour.”
Brian immediately picked up his coat and took elevator to leave with Albert.
In the car.
“Did you find out who did that?”
Brian sat in the back seat. While looking at the abuse on internet to Winnie, he asked Albert.
“Not yet. The main post has been deleted. Maybe the person who posted it didn't think it would have
such a big impact. Now some netizens have begun to search for the basic information of Winnie. But
don't worry, Mr. Bennet, I've got someone to deal with it. It won't go any further.”
Albert had been busy in the morning, called Winnie and gave his command, he had no time to check
who sent the post.
“There are on a total of three men on the pictures. I see me and Leo. Who is the third one?”
Brian didn't know Oscar, so he didn't recognize it was Oscar and thought it was someone from Winnie’s
Company.
“Sorry, Mr. Bennet, I have sent people to check on it, but there is no result yet. I will call them to hurry.”
Albert put on the earphone and was to make a call. At this moment, Brian spoke.
“No, I'll ask her myself.”
Brian minded that man, after all, they hugged each other, and Winnie was so happy. He felt sore in
heart.
As Brian said that, Albert's mobile phone rang then was connected.
“What is it?”
“......”
After listening to the report, Albert hung up the phone then told Brian.
“Mr. Bennet, they found out that the pictures of Winnie and Leo are fake, it seems that someone was to
slander Winnie.”
Brian felt into silence and frowned.
He did not mind Leo. Even if these pictures were real, it did not happen recently. Because he had found
that Leo had a girlfriend now and he would not pester Winnie anymore.
As for the man in the office was different. Although he believed that Winnie was not a promiscuous
woman, the picture was so real, which made Brian inevitably feel bitter.
In Winnie's company, Brian rushed in Winnie's office with great momentum.
At the moment he pushed open the door of Winnie's office, he found Winnie was at work, and finally he
felt relieved.
“What are you doing here?”
Winnie asked in surprise. Looking at Brian suddenly appeared in her office, she was shock.
“I couldn't get through your phone, so I come here to find you.”
Because the phone did not get through, Brian was worried, so he had to come to confirm whether
Winnie was OK.
“You know that?”
Winnie probably understood what was going on.
“Yes. There seems to be no one who doesn't know.”
“I said you should call me when you need help. If I'd known earlier, it wouldn't have spread so quickly.”
Though his tone was sombre, Brian was really annoyed at that Winnie did not ask him for help.
“The post was sent last night...”
As she spoke, Winnie suddenly glanced outside the office. She saw all the employees looking at them,
full of speculation and doubt in their eyes.
Brian looked along Winnie's line of sight and saw the strange eyes of those people. But his first instinct
was to go to the glass wall and put the window-blinds down.
In this way, people from the outside would not be able to see inside the office and they would not have
to face those annoying people. They could do whatever they want.
Brian walked to the desk and pulled Winnie to her feet.
Before Winnie had any reaction, he directly put Winnie in his arms.
“No matter what happens, don't turn your phone off. Let me know you're okay.”
It was not until this moment, when he held Winnie in his arms, that Brian realized that he was more
worried than he had thought.
“I...I'm fine.”
Brian's behavior surprised Winnie, but she felt warm about his words. Whatever the motive for Brian’s
remarks, at least at this point he cared about her.
Brian let go of Winnie, looking at her sad face. No one would be calm from experiencing such a thing.
“I have sent people to put this matter to rest. Do not worry, I will find out who posted the post.”
“Is there anyone you doubt, Winwin? After all, some pictures were taken in your office.”
Brian still minded that man, but he asked politely.
“I don't believe it is from the people in company. I have never had any conflict with them. The picture
was taken by Laura when Oscar came to see me. She was just curious who Oscar was. Her phone lost
and the pictures leaked out.”
Winnie told Brian what she knew. Although she didn't know the deep meaning in Brian's words, she
wanted to clarify for herself that the face that had been blurred in the office was Oscar.
She and Oscar were clear and she did not want to be misunderstood, especially by Brian.
“She accidentally lost her mobile phone and the things got this big?”
Brian had doubts.
The man was Oscar and he was relieved, after all, they were old friends for many years. However men
and women should not have such behavior.
“I think it was stolen on purpose, and I can't say who did that without proof.”
Winnie had been busy all morning and had not had time to check this matter. If she traced the person
who posted the message, she would have found it out.
“Never mind, I'll find it out. Just do your job.”
Brian said softly. He wanted to help Winnie and did not want her to be hurt by that.
Winnie knew that Brian’s intention, but she had no confidence since after Penny.
“I will check it myself.”
Winnie said.
“Why?”
Brian did not understand.
“To be honest, I think it is Wendy did it, and if you check…”
Winnie was afraid that Brian would protect Wendy, and she would be hurtful.
“Are you afraid that I will protect Wendy?”
Brian had guessed the unfinished words of Winnie.
“…”
Winnie did not answer.
“No, she would not do that, she was different from Penny.”
Brian said firmly. And the confidence in his eyes hurt Winnie.
Winnie had guessed that.
“So you don’t believe my judgement and don’t believe that Wendy would do that?”
Winnie felt sad. She was not sure if it was Wendy did that, but what Wendy said was evidence she
would do that.
“Winwin, I…”
“Thank you for your help. I know it is a trouble. I think chairman and your father have learnt that. And
chairman will find you and you just let me take the responsibility.
Winnie interrupted Brian and did not want to listen to his explanation, because she felt hurtful.
He trusted Wendy but suspected her.
Winnie added, “I will check it myself. When the time comes, I will make her apologize to me. If I fail, I
am unlucky and I will let the netizens say what they want to say.”
Winnie’s attitude was firm too. If it was not Wendy di that, she would apologize to Wendy.
“Winwin, come on. I will explain to Grandpa and you don’t need to be worried. You are busy now, if you
check on it, you will be busier. I can guarantee you…”
Brain knew Winnie was sad and knew that he could trust Wendy like that. Before he could finish his
words, Winnie once again interrupted him.
“Mr. Bennet, it is ok that I am busy, but I can’t accept that I am insulted. It is the fact that I embraced
you and Oscar, but the picture of me and Leo is face. Even if it is true, even if I am a promiscuous
woman, it is my piracy, no one has the right to make it public.”
“Mr. Bennet, I will find out who did that, and I want an explanation.”
Winnie did not want Brian’s guarantee, it made no sense. After all, he stood on the side of Wendy.
