Brian found that Winnie did not want to talk anymore and knew that his words made Winnie overthink.
But he still replied “Good night”.
Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he walked to the window and looked at the darkness outside.
Brian's heart was as cold and lonely as the night.
He wondered if he had denied too fast when Winnie’s suspicions on Wendy. Winnie must have her
reason and Wendy had come to Winnie without telling him.
Although Albert didn't hear what they said, she wouldn't hide it from him.
Brian thought of Grandpa. If Grandpa knew it, would he come to Winnie? Would he take the initiative to
explain or wait for grandpa to ask about it?
But in any case, he would do it when Grandpa knew the truth.
The next morning, the Bennet family had a discussion because of Winnie.
Thomas and his wife had been saying that Winnie was wanton. Felix did not know what was going on,
so he asked Thomas.
“What are you talking about? What happened to Winnie?”
Thomas took the phone and walked to Felix. He said disdainfully.
“Dad, don't you know that? See what kind of woman Winnie is and you still let Luke stay with her. It
was a shame.”
With a frown, Felix took the phone and began to read everything about Winnie.
While reading it, he frowned more deeply.
How could Winnie do that? Who did this? As a family member, he could see that it was Brian, why they
were together again?
Felix had many doubts.
He liked showing off that his judgement on people was accurate. Winnie should not be so
unscrupulous, what was going on? Was he wrong, or did someone else do it on purpose?
Felix returned the mobile phone to Thomas.
“Don’t mind other people's business. Tell Jack to go downstairs for dinner.”
Felix, in a cold voice, gave the order and went to the table.
Jack saw it yesterday. He didn't believe it, but the picture was real, which made him upset.
When he called Winnie, her phone was off; when he waited downstairs, he did not see her. Because he
had not heard Winnie's explanation, Jack did not sleep well all night.
He got up early and was thinking about what to do in his bedroom. Should he trust Winnie or stay away
from her?
“Mr. Jack, please go downstairs to dinner.”
Jack was interrupted by his servant.
When he sat down at the table, Jack heard that his parents were still slandering Winnie. He
immediately lost his temper.
“Mom, Dad, you don't know what happened, don't talk nonsense. Winnie is not such a person.”
Jack retorted, but he was not sure what kind of person Winnie was. After all, he did not know enough
about her and spent very little time together.
“Is it written on the murderer's face that ‘I am a murderer’? You have to understand that where there's
smoke there's fire, and if it weren't for these things, how would someone else get these pictures and
take advantage of them? How come I'm not on Hot Search and no one's scolding me?”
Thomas believed that Winnie was such a person, and Richard did not speak well of Winnie, so in his
eyes it was the real side of Winnie.
“Someone intentionally slandered Winnie and it is obvious. Dad, you should stop talking nonsense. Or
you'll be held accountable for it.”
Jack was unconvinced and he did not want to believe that Winnie was such a person.
“Stay away from Winnie.”
Thomas warned and he was unconvinced too.
Because he told his father what happened to Winnie, but his father had not reaction.
“I...”
“Eat, be quiet.”
Felix spoke. He would not jump to conclusions before he investigate it and he did not want to heard
judgement from others.
Winnie had breakfast and went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Winnie came to the company, everyone looked at her with strange eyes, as if she was a rare animal.
But she was still calm.
When she got to the office and closed the door, the first thing she did was to take her cell phone out of
her bag and make a call.
“Officer Lee, may I ask for your favor?”
Winnie politely said. Officer Lee was the police responsible for the case of Penny.
“If I can help.”
Officer Lee had always respected Winnie because she had helped him a lot in the case between Penny
and Richard.
“You should have heard about me these days》 I have found the IP address of the post myself. Please
help me check the family members and some basic information of Alfred Yup.”
Winnie wanted to determine the relationship between Alfred Yup and Wendy.
“No problem, I call a friend of the household registration, and he can help you check of detail. Miss
Chambers, this is network violence. If you need help, you can call me.”
Officer Lee was enthusiastic. Since Winnie wanted to find out the truth, the online news was a rumor.
“Thank you, Officer Lee. If I ever need to call the police, I'll ask for your help.”
Winnie had no plan to report to the police for the time being. She wanted to see if it was Wendy, how
Brian would deal with it and whether he would protect Wendy.
Winnie hung up and began to work, but it didn't take long for Officer Lee to call back.
“Miss Chambers, based on our internal regulations, I cannot give you written information, just listen to
me.”
“I see.”
Winnie calmly said.
“Alfred Yup's household registration shows that there are three people, one is his wife and one is his
daughter. The daughter is called Wendy Yup, her registered permanent residence is signed back from
abroad, showing divorce.”
It was confirmed to be Wendy, but it shocked Winnie. How could she be divorced? Wasn't it the same
Wendy?
“Officer Lee, are you sure that Wendy is divorced?”
Winnie asked uncertainly.
“Yes, but she is not necessarily married, there are a lot of false marriage because of foreign green
card.”
Officer Lee gave an explanation, but Winnie was still confused.
“Officer Lee, can you send me the picture of Wendy. I want to confirm whether I know her or not.”
“Okay, I'll send it to you.”
Soon after putting down the phone, Winnie received the picture, and it was indeed Wendy.
Winnie did not understand why Wendy was married, maybe she was for the green card as Officer Lee.
But why did a family like hers need a fake marriage? Or like her, Wendy wanted to get household
registration for her child?
Thinking that Wendy’s situation was like hers, Winnie did not feel strange. There were many reasons
for information on the household registration. Since she could do that, others also could do so.
After breakfast, Felix took a short rest and then came to the company with Butler Lowe.
He took the president's elevator directly to Brian's office, but Brian wasn't there.
After a while, Brian came back from a meeting and saw his grandfather sitting on the sofa as he
opened the door. He was surprised, but it was reasonable.
Winnie was related to him, and his grandpa would come to him for sure.
“When did you come and why didn't you ask the secretary to call me?”
Said Brian, who had come to sit beside Felix.
“The secretary said you were in a meeting, so I didn't ask her to call you. It is ok to wait for a while.”
Felix's voice was low and cold, but there was no anger. But Brian decided to admit his mistake first.
“Grandpa, are you here for Winnie?”
“Yes, I heard it from Thomas. Is it true?”
Felix asked seriously.
“Uncle Thomas? He really cares about me.”
Brian knew Thomas would not miss this opportunity.
Brian continued.
“Some of the pictures are true but some are fake. Winnie is investigating on it.”
“So you the picture of you and her is true?”
Felix went to point. What he wanted to hear was whether the picture of Brian and Winnie was true or
not. As for the others, he had no interest.
“Yes, but Grandpa, it has nothing to do with Winnie. I went to give my children present that day and
couldn't help but hug her. It was my mistake that hurt Winnie and made you worry.”
“Grandpa, Winnie is not a promiscuous woman and she is not so shameless as it is said on the
Internet. You've known Winnie for a long time. You should know her.”
Brian tried his best to explain, taking all the responsibility on his own, for fear that Felix would make
trouble for Winnie.
“You still like her?”
Unexpectedly, Felix did not get angry without questioning, but asked Brian.
Brian lowered his head and held his hands together.
“She's a good woman, Grandpa. It will not be easy to forget her.”
Brian paused for a moment and continued.
“But grandpa, don’t worry, it will not happen again. My love for her will not affect my marriage with
Wendy.”
Brian guaranteed so that he could protect Winnie.
“You can't be together.”
Felix got up and left.
He was going to find Winnie to talk about it after confirming it and make her leave.
But after hearing Brian's words and seeing his worried face, Felix suddenly softened his heart.
He also did not believe that Winnie was such a woman and he did not believe his misjudge on a
person.
In the car, when Felix hesitated if he would find Winnie, Winnie called.
In Teahouse.
It was the same teahouse where Winnie and Felix always came. It was the same room.
“Chairman, I want to tell you frankly.”
Winnie was clear that, even if she did not take the initiative to tell him, even if Brian could solve the
problem, Felix would come to her.
“What do you want to tell me?”
Felix was serious and her eyes were sharp, but there was no anger.
