In Winnie's view, as long as she did one thing wrong, the Bennet family will take it as an excuse to take
back the custody of their children.
Now for Winnie, the most practical and safest way was to leave with the children, but without Brian's
permission, even if she went to the ends of the earth, she would be found by Brian.
Laura had been waiting for reply in the chat group. Finally Klara answered first.
Klara: Isn't this Mr. Bennet’s sister? Why she is there?
Klara was confused and worried at the same time.
In her view, Winnie would not give up on Brian, so Stella accused Winnie or agreed with her to persist?
Laura: This is Mr. Bennet’s sister? No wonder she looked noble.
Laura was surprised about that.
Klara: Yes, she was born in such a powerful and rich family, how can she have no temperament?
Klara: Laura, do you know why she went to Winnie? As far as I know, Stella doesn't like Winnie around
Brian.
Klara asked with doubts.
Laura did not reply, but secretly took a video before she answered.
Laura: Do you think she doesn’t like her in this way they chat?
In the video, Stella and Winnie were saying the two children were naughty. They were in good mood
and it was harmonious, and Stella was smiling at the moment.
Klara was surprised when she saw the video. It was not like the rumor that Stella hated Winnie. They
were more like good friends.
It seemed that Wendy was more dangerous, because Winnie had begun to seize the hearts of the
Bennet family.
Klara was thinking about it. Wendy sent a message.
Wendy: Why is she there?
Seeing that Winnie and Stella were harmonious together, Wendy was panic, feeling she was to lose
favor.
Klara: I don't know, but they seem to have a good relationship.
Laura: I don't know either; I came out after giving them two cups of coffee.
Laura: Winnie's scheming. She has started to make a move to the people around Mr. Bennet.
Klara: I think what Laura said is reasonable. If Mr. Bennet's father agrees them to be together, Winnie
will have the most advantage.
Wendy: She thinks gets the upper hand because I apologize to her.
Hearing what Klara and Laura said, Wendy was anxious and felt she should take a step earlier.
Klara: Wendy, don’t be impulsive, or it will have bad result.
Klara persuaded her.
Wendy: Don't worry, I won't do that again.
With a lesson, Wendy would never do it again, but she still hated Winnie.
Wendy put down her phone and went out.
Wendy drove to the old house before telling Brian.
As soon as Wendy entered the door, he saw Thomas and his wife chatting in the living room. She did
not like the uncle of Brian, but she had to say hello.
From now on, she would try her best to please ever member of the Bennet family, so that Winnie would
not have the opportunity.
“Uncle Thomas, Aunt Maria, you are here!”
Wendy walked to Thomas.
“Wendy, sit down.”
Maria got up and greeted Wendy.
“Maria, haven’t you gone to play cards?”
Wendy sat down with a smile on her face. Although it was not from her heart and she felt her smile stiff,
she had to get used to such a pattern to get along with them.
“No, I will go out to see a friend with Thomas, so I don't play cards today.”
Maria answered gently.
“Oh, I see. If you have not enough players, you can call me. I can play with you.”
Wendy knew it was a good way to please Maria.
Sure enough, Maria was pleased.
“Ok, I will let you know.”
“You are available today, Wendy.”
Thomas spoke. His mood could not be told from his tepid tone.
“I haven't come for a long time. I want to see you and Grandpa. Brian is busy, so I came alone. Am I
welcomed?”
Wendy said with a smile.
“Yes, you'll soon be one of the Mr. Bennet family members, sure you are welcomed.”
Thomas continued after a pause.
“Wendy, Jack needs Brian’s help in work. You are his sister-in-law, please care about Jack. We respect
and love each other, and it is more like a family.”
Thomas knew that Wendy was to please Felix. She did not care about him and Maria. Through such a
reminder, he wanted to tell her that they were family.
“Don't worry, Uncle Thomas. We are family, Brian will take care of him.”
In Thomas’ words, Wendy only noticed the word of “sister-in-law”. She was joyful and it increased her
confidence.
“Good, Maria and I have to go. Grandpa is in the study. Go and see him.”
Thomas got up. Wendy got up too and went to Felix's study after seeing them off.
Seeing that it was Wendy who came in, Felix wrinkled his eyebrows.
He did not speak, took back the line of sight. Wendy was at a loss by his serious face.
“Grandpa, I come to see you.”
Wendy calmed down, but her voice was timid.
Felix was silent, and then slowly raised his head but his eyes were cold.
“Go to the point. Your coming to see me is not the main purpose.”
Felix's tone was full of irritability and indifference. He did not like hypocritical people like Wendy. She
must come with purpose, but she said she came to see him.
“Grandpa...”
Wendy was embarrassed. She did not know if she should say it since Grandpa had that attitude.
“Go ahead. How do you solve it if you don’t say it out? You will come again if you don’t say it this time.”
Felix’s tone was cold. And Wendy could only say it.
“Ok, I will go to the point. Grandpa, I want Luke back. I will take care of him.”
After saying that, Wendy’s heart was beating violently. But she dare not show her cowardice in face of
Grandpa.
“You take care of Luke? Give me a reason.”
Felix gave Wendy a chance to persuade him.
“Grandpa, I believe you have heard about the things on the Internet. You have seen what kind of
person Winnie is. No matter it is true or false with other men, it is certainly not false that she was with
Brian.”
Wendy felt less confidence saying that, because she wasn't sure what Grandpa knew.
She looked at Felix, but Felix was silent and she had to go on talking.
“Grandpa, I underestimated Winnie's ambition. She will haunt Brian with Luke as an excuse all her life.
He will affect my relationship with Brian.”
“And Luke is a child of the Bennet family, he cannot always live with Winnie. Winnie is an unscrupulous
woman, she can’t teach him well.”
Wendy stopped again, and Felix finally had a response. He looked at Wendy coldly.
“How Winnie is unscrupulous?”
Felix asked Wendy in a cold voice.
“Well…”
Wendy did not understand why Felix asked so.
“Why you come today? For Luke, or for you?”
Felix's sharp words made Wendy stunned for a moment.
“Grandpa, I think of Luke first and then me. I think...”
However, before she could finish her words, Felix interrupted her angrily.
“You are lying, you come for yourself. You would have not left if you think of Luke and let Luke live with
his grandfather. Now you have a sense of crisis, and want to use Luke. How can I give you Luke?”
Felix's sudden rage made Wendy panic. Her mind had been seen through, and she did not know what
to say and had no courage to talk with Felix.
“Wendy, if you did not leave willfully, all this would not have happened. And you let me down by secretly
slandering Winnie, do you know it would have bad impact on us if it gets big?”
Felix loudly scolded. Wendy was afraid. Grandpa knew everything and was waiting for her to find him.
“Since you came back, you haven't shown any magnanimity. If you hadn't pushed him, and if you hadn't
put Brian in a dilemma, how could he have leaned toward Winnie?”
“You created this situation. You closed the distance between them.”
Felix angrily stood up from the chair and was unsatisfied for Wendy.
Obviously, Wendy did not expect that. But to be the future mistress of the Bennet family, strain ability
was the most basic.
If it were Winnie, she would not let herself in such an embarrassing situation. Even in the face it, she
would face will it, rather than crying out like Wendy now.
“In other words, you don't love Brian, and if you do, you would find a way to be together with him,
instead of running away for years.”
Felix’s tone was awe-inspiring, and every word made Wendy's heart tremble. But when Felix denied
her love, she could not help retorting.
“Grandpa, it is not like that. I admit all the other things. It is my thoughtlessness and my attitude is not
good. But I do love Brian, or I would not have waited him for years.”
She retorted, but she had not confidence, and her voice was so timid.
“You love his power, love his money, love the supremacy he gives you.”
Felix said sharply. Wendy was like that in his eyes, or she would not have been waiting for Brian.
“No, Grandpa, I don't, I...”
Wendy cried out and she had no courage to face Felix.
Seeing that Wendy was crying, Felix was annoyed.
“Give up the thought to take care of Luke. Even if one day Winnie can't take care of him, I will let his
grandfather do it or his aunt do it. Since you have done so mean things, you may abuse Luke.”
Felix gave the final answer and then walked away with awe.
