Felix said with guilt and remorse.
"I'm an example, Dad. I married at your bidding. But as a result, did you ask me if I was happy in my
life? Now you want to repeat the same thing and turn Brian into another me. When will this tragedy
end? Can Luke and Megan escape such a nightmare?"
Rufus questioned his father with such an attitude for the first time, because his endurance has reached
the limit.
All his life, he had been controlled by his father since he was a child, never making his own decisions,
and now he really didn't want his son and his grandchildren to go the same way.
Felix was surprised that Rufus who was always composed would say such rebellious words.
What was going on here? Why everyone went against him?
"Rufus, think it over in every aspect. Do not be sentimental. Why am I doing this is for the Bennet
Group can have a long run development, for you to have a good life?"
"But do we really have a good life? Did you ask what we need?"
Rufus did not put the words too harsh, though his father's actions were just for his ambition. But he
could not say so, or his father would be angry and faint.
"If we are in the ordinary family, would Thomas do that kind of thing? Brotherly murder would have
been unavoidable if I had not withdrawn."
Rufus remembered the things before and he got angry. It was related to his father. He ran The Bennet
Group very well, but his family relationships were terrible and that was one of the failures of his life.
Rufus's words seemed to hurt Felix's heart. He said nothing but his eyes were cold and his face was
sullen.
His credit for this lifetime at this moment was denied by Rufus. Did he really fail, or Rufus's thoughts
were extreme?
After a moment of silence, Rufus's mood was somewhat restrained.
"Dad, I got off the subject. In fact, I don’t want you to interference Brian and to separate Winnie and the
children. You may not believe what I said about Winnie, but you get time and opportunity. You can get
to know her."
"Even if she has motives, she is perfectly fit for the children. The two children will grow up very well
under her education and cultivation."
"I think as long as children can grow up in a happy environment, it is the most important."
“And I hope you will allow Winwin and Brian to be together, and give the children a complete home. If
you want a grandson, let him choose his own marriage, and if you want a capable administrator, I can
return to the Bennet Group so that Brian can quit."
Hearing that, Felix and Stella were shocked.
In those days he had made oath to leave the Bennet Group alone, but for Brian, he now violated his
oath, because he felt sorry for Brian.
“Do you mean to set Brian free, and you run the Bennet Group?”
Felix asked for confirmation.
Rufus was the most trusted person in his life, and his attitude towards work was more persistent than
anyone else. If he had not been determined to quit the position of management, he would not have
trained Brian into a king.
"Yes, let him live his life freely, and leave him alone."
Rufus answered.
"If I leave him alone, his future will be ruined. What can he do without the Bennet Group?"
Felix did not agree to let go the kind he cultivated.
"I believe in my son's ability. He can make a difference without the Bennet Group. But I do not wish him
success in business, I wish him simple happiness."
"Just like Stella now, Joshua is a worker, but they are happy. And with Winnie's ability, even if Brian
could not earn a penny, she would be able to support the family."
Rufus said a lot tonight and got in wide scope. But he only had one purpose, hoping the family of four
could be together.
"He is a talent, you are to bury his talent. He is doomed to be a dragon, but do you want him to live as
a dog?"
Felix still opposed, he had his reason not to give up.
"He is a dragon, but I don't want him to get so tired. Even without the Bennet Group, he can live as an
eagle. He may not have the prestige of a dragon, but at least he's free."
Rufus said. He did not want his grief to be repeated on his son.
"Dad, I just want the family of four to be together."
Rufus stood up and left after making a final statement. He was in high spirits now, afraid he would
quarrel with his father if he said any more.
After Rufus left, Felix felt helpless.
"Stella, I don’t think I am wrong. What I do is for the good of everyone."
Felix felt deep blankness. He made effort of the family, but his son denied him, which was hard for him
to accept.
Stella saw grandpa's sadness, so she hurriedly hugged him and appeased him.
"Grandpa, don't think too much."
However, Stella could only say that sentence, because she strongly supported her father's point of
view. Her grandpa was not perfect. But if she told the truth, her grandpa could not stand it.
Winnie did not sleep well that night, she always awakened by the nightmare that she separated with
the children. After she woke up, it was hard for her to sleep again, which made her very tired.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Brian by her side, which made her feel at ease.
"Didn't sleep well, did you? Winwin, don't think too much. After all, the children are ours. It's up to us."
Brian woke up and knew that Winnie had not slept well the night before.
"No, I'll stick to it. I can't afford to lose my children, whatever it takes."
Although Winnie was worried, she had firm confidence.
"Ok, we work together."
Then he sat up and picked up his phone to see if there was anything important, since he had turned it
off the night before.
There were no important text messages, but Stella had sent him messages.
Brian hurriedly clicked on it and read it with Winnie.
"Brian, tell Winwin not to worry too much. We all know grandpa's attitude. Dad and I will try our best to
help you."
"Dad has had an argument with Grandpa. He does not want the children to separate with Winnie and
he wants you to be with Winnie."
"Dad said that if Grandpa wants a superintendent, he can come back to take over the Bennet Group,
so that you can have freedom and choose your own marriage."
“I was touched to hear that. So you and Winwin must not give up. We will fight together as a family."
"I will take care of the two children. For the time being, please do what Grandpa wants and don't let
Winwin come to our home. Grandpa needs persuasion bit by bit."
"Set your mind at work. Paul will pick them up the children after school. And Winwin can see them
when they go to school."
"Brian, you and Winwin don't blame Grandpa. He is old, he has been a king all his life and used to be
domineering. It is easy to change."
"And when I am available, I will take two children to the old house and let them spend more time with
grandpa. We can't convince him. It doesn't mean the children can’t either."
"In short, you can rest assured, put all your energy on the work and make achievements. If Grandpa is
happy, it may help."
"Brian, Winwin, we support you to be together, just fight for it!"
Winnie didn't sleep well all night, but she was warmed by the messages in the morning.
She embraced Brian and shed tears.
"I thought they don't like me, and I was very careful about what I said whenever I saw them, for fear
saying the wrong thing to annoy them even more."
"Every time I wanted to have good performance, trying to bring you and me closer."
"I am so touched that they all stand by me and offer to help me when I need it the most. I am also
touched by their recognition and that they don't hate me."
Winnie cried out loud. No matter what kind of results it would be, she was moved by them and they felt
like families to her.
"Fool, how can they not like you? You're so good and you gave birth to two children to our family. They
sure like you."
Brian hugged Winnie and comforted Winnie, but he was also moved.
Stella had been very good to him for so many years and had replaced the existence of his mother.
What he didn't expect were the words from his father, who stood by him when he needed him the most.
For him, his father broke his oath and wanted to engage in business again, which was the most
touching.
With the support of the family, Brian and Winnie felt more steadfast. They began to work, as Stella said,
as long as they made achievement, his Grandpa would be happy.
Leo had not seen Emily for two days since they kissed in the bar, and she did not answer his calls like
before.
Leo wanted to see Emily, but there was one thing he had to decide first. So now he came to Brian's
office.
"Mr. Johnson, if I'm not wrong, there seems to be no place for us to talk about our work."
Brian tone was cold and hard. Seeing Leo, he thought if his love for Winnie.
"You are smart, but I come here not for business. I'll go to the point since you are a busy man."
Leo had no previous smile at this time, but a serious face.
"What's going on with your blind date with Emily?"
Leo asked directly.
"How do you know? Does Winwin know it?"
Brian’s facial expression changed because Leo's question. It was not because what Leo knew, but
what Winnie knew.
