Winnie took a deep breath and then calmed down.
“I think you have heard something about me, I won't explain anything, but I have to talk to you since it
is related to Mr. Bennet.”
“The pictures of Mr. Bennet and me are real. Mr. Bennet was waiting for me in the parking lot. He
bought gifts for the kids and told me to take them home. I lost control of myself and got Mr. Bennet in
trouble.”
“Chairman, I am very sorry for bringing discredit to Mr. Bennet and bringing negative influence to the
Bennet Group.”
Winnie stood up and bowed respectfully to Felix. She had no other way to express her regret, nor was
she able to make up for the negative impact she had brought to Brian.
All she could do was to apologize sincerely.
Felix was silent for a moment, then he spoke.
“Sit down. I have a question for you.”
Felix felt gratified for Winnie's apology.
And it was clear that Winnie wanted to protect Brian.
Brian admitted his mistakes for Winnie and Winnie took all responsibility for Brian.
Winnie sat down, but she was worried about Felix's question, afraid that she would make trouble to
Brian if she did not answer the question well.
“What do you want to ask?”
Winnie could only face it.
“You promised me that nothing would happen between you and Brian, but you failed to do so.”
“I asked to you be together with Brian for the sake of Luke, but you refused and said you had no selfish
motives. Since you had refused, and since you have no selfish motives, you must keep your promise to
me.”
Felix's tone was colder. He had to stick to his principles about their relationship.
He could let it go this time, because the consequence was not serious. Neither Brian nor the Bennet
Group was affected.
“Don't worry, Chairman, there won't be anything between Mr. Bennet and me. But I can't promise it.”
Winnie spoke frankly, because sometimes she could not control herself. Even if she and Brian had
been separated, they sometimes slept together.
Winnie knew that her promise was important to Felix and a constraint to herself. But she could not
deceive the chairman and let him down again and again.
“What do you mean by that?”
Felix frowned again. Was that provocation?
“Chairman, you were young too, and sometimes I really can't control myself. I know it's shameless to
say that, but that is all. Don’t worry, I have no motives for Mr. Bennet and I won't affect his family.”
Winnie saw Felix's cold face, and thought her explanation was not enough, so she continued.
“I know my status, and I know I'm not good enough for Mr. Bennet. I am a divorced woman with kids.
How can I be with Mr. Bennet? Chairman, you don't have to worry, although sometimes I can’t control
myself, I will not pester him and will not affect his normal life.”
Winnie said what she should said. Believe it or not, it was Felix's business.
Although she could not get over Brian, although she could not refuse his occasional hug and close
contact, Winnie definitely would not live with Brian, not disturb his life and pester him.
Felix did not understand and looked at Winnie with a dark face.
Winnie saw that Felix did not speak and knew that he was not satisfied with her answer.
“Chairman, if I stay here, you feel I am an eyesore, I can leave.”
Although Winnie had been yearning for that, she was not sure if Felix would allow her to take Luke
away.
“If Luke can leave you, I really want you to leave.”
Felix said in a cold and angry voice.
Now if Winnie left, Luke and Brian could not accept it.
Maybe Felix was old, maybe he faced Winnie, he was not as cruel as he was before.
“If you trust me, I can take Luke away with me. I am confident that I can take good care of Luke.”
Winnie looked at Felix with worry. If he said it was OK, she would immediately leave with two children.
Because leaving for her was relief and she could get over Brian.
“No, Luke is a child of the Bennet family, even if I trust you, I can’t let you leave with him.”
“Winnie, I can turn a blind eye on things between you and Brian, but don’t make troubles, or you should
leave B City.”
Felix had to warn Winnie. It was his limit that he turned a blind eye on that and it was for the sake that
Winnie took care of Luke, or Winnie would have left B City now.
Winnie could not believe what she had heard and that Felix showed mercy to her.
“Chairman, aren’t you afraid that I have motive and that I don’t keep my words?”
“You dare not, even if you break your words, I have solutions.”
Felix said in a domineering way, but that was not her real thought.
He believed that Winnie had no motives and she would keep her words. The reason why he trusted her
was because she was sincere.
“I still have questions, who are the other two men in the pictures?”
Felix wanted to confirm that if Winnie was an promiscuous woman.
“One was Leo, the president of the Johnson Group, we are just partners in work and that picture is
fake.”
Winnie was not sure if Felix would believe her, but she had to tell him.
“The other was my classmate in college and he is my ex-husband.”
Felix’s eyes turned cold.
“You still contact with your ex-husband, but you can’t get over Brian, do you think it is right?”
Winnie looked up and saw Felix’s cold eyes. she knew it was hard to explain.
“it is complicated, but we get married because I needed his help. It is related to my friend’s privacy, I
better not say it. I am sorry.”
“We are good friends since college. We had not seen each other for years and we were excited to see
each other, so we hugged. Besides me, my best friend Daenerys, as well as Penny, have never seen
him as a man.”
“What I said was confusing, maybe you don’t understand, but I have a clear conscience. This was a
deliberate attempt. Even if there were no pictures of me and my friend hugging, there would be other
pictures.”
Winnie was calm, because she and Oscar had nothing between them. He was her best friend.
Felix did not understand the friendship of the young people, but he felt that Winnie could be believed. It
was just that he could not express his trust.
“You said it was deliberate attempt. Did you find it out?”
Felix continued.
“Yes. If Alfred Yup is Wendy's father, then the person who slandered me is Wendy.”
Winnie did not conceal it and she did not need to bear it alone.
Since Wendy put her privacy to the public, she will not let Wendy quietly succeed.
“Alfred Yup is indeed Wendy's father, but why did Wendy do this?”
Felix was not surprised to hear that, because no one could bear that their boyfriend to be with another
woman.
Felix knew the reason why Wendy did that, but he was afraid that Winnie did not know her fault. This
was what happened since she had an affair.
“I know, but she went too far. I can't stand it.”
Winnie knew that Wendy did so because of her, but there must be a bottom line. She could not casually
trample on other people's self-esteem.
“Does Brian know it?”
Felix asked coldly. He had doubts, but he wanted to believe Winnie and wanted to know if he had
misjudged on Winnie.
“Not yet. I mentioned the possibility to him, but he didn't believe Wendy would do such a thing.”
Remembering Brian's attitude, Winnie felt cold in heart. Perhaps he would only believe it only when
Wendy told him in person.
“You want to call the police?”
If she did not let Brian know, the solution was to call the police.
“No. If I call the police, Mr. Bennet will get into unnecessary trouble. I just want Wendy to admit it and
apologize to me.”
The reason why Winnie did not report to the police was because of Brian.
Wendy was the most important person to Brian. If she embarrassed Wendy, Brian would be sad. She
didn't want to see Brian upset about it.
When Winnie finished speaking, Felix stood up and then softened his tone.
“Just don't make it big.”
Then he stepped away.
Since Winnie had thought of Brian, he did not have to tell her that
Winnie was thoughtful, and did it for the overall situation. From this point, it seemed that he had not
misjudged on Winnie.
However, Wendy was wretched, which made Felix disappointed.
After leaving the teahouse, Winnie went to find Leo. Although Emily did not mind it, she was not sure it
there was any impact on her cooperation with Leo.
She wanted to solve all the effects before she looked for Wendy.
Winnie came to Leo's office, and Leo was busy. Seeing Winnie came over, he got up and came to
Winnie.
He looked at Winnie very carefully. Seeing that she look good, he felt relieved.
“Sit down.”
Leo whispered, and then both of them sat down on the sofa.
