“You don’t need to transfer the money to me. You helped me and you threw away your phone because
of me. If you transfer money to me, you don’t see me as a friend.”
Wendy still needed to use Laura, how could she accept Laura’s money?
“Laura, you deserve it.”
Klara said so. Laura then took the phone. The three had their plain and did not treat each other with
hearts.
When Laura was back to the company, Brian had left and she did not learn too much information from
her colleagues.
She took out her new phone and got her card into it.
Winne saw that.
“Is it a new one?”
She asked.
“Yes, I just got it.”
Laura was embarrassed.
“It must be expensive.”
Winnie did not think too much and gave a smile, for fear that Laura would have a burden.
“Not expensive, my friend helped me buy it.”
Laura explained.
“Be careful and don’t get it lost again.”
Winnie said patting Laura’s shoulder and then left.
Laura got cold sweat because of Winnie’s words. She thought Winnie looked down on her that she
could not afford such an expensive phone and laughed at her.
At the same time, she had more dissatisfaction about Winnie, because Winnie looked down upon her
and laughed at her.
After work, Winnie got home and told the thing to Vanessa and aunt. After appeasing them, she got to
Daenerys’ house.
All the people she had invited were at Daenerys’ house.
Winnie saw these people and said sorry to them.
“I'm sorry, everyone, for getting you involved.”
Winnie was about to bow to show her sincerest apology. But then Emily rushed to her and stopped her.
“Winwin, what are you doing? We did not blame you.”
Emily's generosity made Winnie touched, but she still wanted to explain.
“Emily, I am really sorry, please do not misunderstand. The picture of me and Leo is fake, we did not
hug like that. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.”
“Don't say sorry again. Will I come and see you if I misunderstand you? I know you have nothing to do
with Leo, and I know the picture is fake.”
“Winwin, don't blame yourself, or we will feel uncomfortable. We're friends, and at this time wi are
worried about you.”
Emily embraced Winnie and comforted her in a warm voice.
“Winwin, you must be strong and don’t let the wicked succeed.”
“I will. Thank you for your understanding.”
Feeling Emily's arms, Winnie felt warm in heart. The anxious and angry mood got eased at this
moment.
Emily was a good girl and worthy of being treated well by Leo.
Winnie left Emily's arms and came to Oscar. Before she could speak, Oscar said jokingly.
“Don't apologize to me, my hug with you is real, we are not afraid of being judged or seen. And since
we're divorced, it won't hurt me if people dig up our history.”
Oscar's relaxed joke was to make Winnie feel relieved. He could feel Winnie’s mood today and knew it
was hard day for her.
It was not easy for a single woman. Winnie was strong and would not be knocked down.
But she was pathetic.
Winnie gave a smile and she knew the person knew her best was always Oscar.
“Ok, thank you for your understanding, my ex-husband.”
“Sit down, you are tired today.”
Daenerys let Winnie sit down next to her, looking at Winnie with distressed eyes.
Leo felt distressed too. He said nothing, but his attention was on Winnie since she came in house.
He knew she was pretending to be fine. Even a man could not bear the pressure of public opinion, let
alone a woman.
However, with Emily around, Leo could only hide his heart. And Emily was generous, what else could
he say?
“By the way, you don't know each other, I didn't introduce you yet.”
Winnie heaved a sigh of relief and turned the sad topic away.
“Yes, they know each other. I have introduced them.”
Said Daenerys.
“Well then, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go out. What would you like to eat?”
Winnie continued, always looking for a topic to cover up the previous one.
Everything was clear, expect for Brian.
They didn't know it and she did not want to talk about it. She still loved him, if she explained, they
would think she lied, so she skipped it.
“Winwin, don't go out tonight. Kevin has called takeaway, and it would soon be delivered.”
Daenerys knew what Winnie was avoiding and felt distressed for her.
Winnie felt into silence. At the moment she was embarrassed and speechless. All people were looking
at her with caring eyes, all people were in pity her, which made her touched but bitter.
“Thank you. It's good to have you in my life.”
Winnie bowed her head and said, which made everyone more worried.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. It was the delivery man came to deliver food. Winnie's
embarrassment ended by that.
When she got home, the children had fallen asleep. Isobel and Vanessa were worried and had been
waiting for Winnie in the living room and wanted to know the result.
Winnie was like having a million ants gnawing at her body. She felt pain in her bones and flesh, so she
lay down on her aunt's lap.
“I am tired, it was like a war. My nerve has been tight, and I will die in the battlefield if I was careless.”
Winnie whispered with her eyes closed.
“If you are tired, take a good rest and ask for a few days' leave from the company. Your health is
important.”
Isobel saw Winnie was so tired and she did not mention anything about the day.
“Sister, if you feel tired, let's leave. I know now this is not the place for us. I wish I had gone abroad as
you said.”
Vanessa felt distressed about her sister. Looking at her sister’s tired face, Vanessa felt sorry.
“Don't think so much. We must adapt ourselves to the environment no matter where we are. It's not
always good to be abroad.”
Winnie pulled herself together and sat up.
“When our parents died, it was so hard, but we have gone through it. And this is not a big deal.”
Winnie must be strong in face of her family, because she was the spiritual support of the family. If she
was not strong, the family would not be lively.
“I feel distressed about y out. What are these people doing? Why do they always bully you?”
Vanessa could not help but cry. Winnie held Vanessa in arms and comforted her.
“Sister, people live with ups and downs, you just don’t see others in hard times. Don't think too much
about it. Only difficulties can make us stronger. I can solve this.”
“Auntie, don't worry about me. I will find that person out.”
Winnie knew that her aunt and sister were waiting for her words. Give them confidence and they could
feel at ease.
“Ok, I believe you.”
“Winwin, does the Bennet family know about it? Will they bother you?”
Isobel was afraid that Felix would bother Winnie.
“It's all right, you don't have to worry. Brian will take care of it.”
“Auntie, I have to go upstairs. Tonight I will find out the person who did that. I will not let the matter
spread and affect Luke and Megan.”
Winnie let go of Vanessa and got up. It was like a war, her battle still went on.
“Go to bed, all of you, and don't worry about me.”
Winnie said and then went back to her room.
Winnie was tired, so she first took a bath and then began the network tracking.
It was not a problem for Winnie, and she locked the position in just 40 minutes.
The IP address was a villa and she got the information of the house number and the user name - Alfred
Yup.
Winnie’s preliminary conclusion was it was Wendy’s home, but there was not enough evidence, so she
could not jump to conclusions.
Winnie put the computer away and lied on the bed. She planned to ask a friend to check it and she
would have the conclusion.
After she turned off the light and closed her eyes, she got a text message.
It was from Brian.
“How is it going, did Leo say anything?”
Brian had not fallen asleep till now. she paced back and forth in the office alone, waiting anxiously. He
feared that Winnie would have sudden accident.
Winnie saw Brian's message, she felt cold in heart, but at the same time she understood Brian. After
all, Wendy was the woman he loved and he definitely believed Wendy.
“Yes. They all understand me and trust me.”
Only Brian did not believe Winnie, because she was of no importance in his heart.
“That's good.”
Brian sent another message.
“Winwin, I didn't mean to disbelieve you. I really want to take care of that for you. I also want to tell you
that if it is really Wendy who did that, you can do whatever you want to do. I will not interfere or cover
for her.”
“I see. I understand you. I'm tired. I want to go to bed. You go to bed early, too.”
For Winnie, it is enough that Brian explained that to her, but she did not want to say anymore.
She thought there should be a curse between her and Brian. They could not communicate too much,
once beyond the scope, it would make her sad.
Perhaps she thought too much and was always too cautious, but in any case, she could not stand the
attitude of Brian and that fact that he did not believe her.
