Felix had not been so angry for a long time, nor had he warned someone so forcefully in the face.
Today, it was unbearable and he lost his temper.
Zoe came back to sense from the warning, but she had spirit like a new-born cattle and did not fear the
tigers.
"Mr. Bennet..."
Zoe wanted to speak, but Wendy dressed in a hospital gown rushed in.
"Mom. don't say any more, don't disgrace yourself."
Wendy said in tears and her face went pale. Her dry and peeling lips showed that she was in serious
illness.
But she cried not because she was sorry, but because her mother's impulsive behavior had once again
screwed things up.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, my mother didn't understand the status. Don't be angry. I promise we won't come
to the Bennet Group again."
Wendy apologized to Felix. She did not expect Felix would be there, so it would be more difficult to
regain Brian’s heart.
"The one who should say sorry is your mother. Your mother beat Winnie without any reason. And the
one who should accept the apology is Winnie."
At this time, Felix thought of Winnie. Her competitive mother should get the consequences of her
impulses.
Wendy's heart sank. How could her mother beat Winnie in front of Brian and Felix? It was not to vent
her anger for her, it was to kill her.
"Mom, apologize to Winnie. You can't hit her."
Wendy anxiously looked back at her mother, but Zoe refused.
"This shameless woman seduced Brian. I helped you vent your anger. And you..."
"Shut up, you are still babbling. Call security and get her out of here."
Felix was impatient and did not want to see such a poor person. At the command, several secretaries
took the place of the security guard and dragged Zoe out directly.
"Wait a minute."
Felix stopped the secretary in a cold voice.
"Wendy’s mother, I would say the last word."
"Now I finally know where Wendy's temperament comes from. Like mother, like daughter. With a
mother like you, Wendy will never marry into the Bennet family."
Then he looked at Wendy who was crying coldly.
"I warn you, Wendy, tell your mother why you broke up. If she comes again, I will send her to jail, and I
will make the Yup Group disappear from B City."
"No, it won't happen again. Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm sorry I didn't make myself understood."
Wendy repeatedly apologized, and then stumbled to Winnie.
"Winnie, I'm sorry for my mother. I'm sorry."
Wendy did not mean to say sorry. But Felix spoke for Winnie publicly, she had to apologize.
She apologized and walked out to find her mother, who had been dragged out. Everyone else had left,
too, and a hush fell over the office.
Felix seemed to have some physical exhaustion after burst of rage. He didn't say anything and sat
down on the sofa. Then Winnie brought him a glass of water.
"Chairman, drink some water and calm down."
Although she got beaten, although the company was in mess, Winnie was really happy, but she had to
keep a low profile.
Felix lifted his eyes and looked at Winnie's red and swollen face, and his heart pulled together.
“Brian, take her into the break room and take care of it.”
Looking at the red and swollen face, Felix felt his mood affect and he could not say what he wanted to
say.
"Winwin, come with me. There is ice in the refrigerator, get it and cool your face."
At this time, Brian was an obedient child. He took Winnie by the hand and walked to the break room.
"I'm fine, Chairman is still there. Don't you see he is tired?"
Winnie said as she was being dragged away. She felt that Felix needed a cold compress more than her
to calm his anger.
"Brian..."
Winnie's words broke as the door of the break room closed.
Sitting on the sofa, Felix sighed a long sigh, showing his helplessness.
He came by today to make it clear that they could not be together. If they agreed, he would talk about
children.
He did not expect to meet this situation when he arrived and did not expect to see Winnie beaten. His
heart pulled together.
It seemed that it was not suitable to talk about this topic today, so he would find a chance another day.
Brian and Winnie walked into the break room. Brian was to get the ice, Winnie followed him nagging.
"It is not good to leave the Chairman alone. Go out, I will do it by myself."
"It is him who told me to go in."
As he said that, Brian had got the ice ready, and then wrapped it in a towel, for fear that Winnie could
not accept it because it was cold.
"But..."
"No buts. I will go out when I finish this."
Brian took Winnie by the hand and led her sit down on bed, and then applied ice on Winnie's face.
"Ah..."
"Does it hurt?"
Asked Brian, worried.
"No, it's cold."
"Hold it for a while, hold it for a while."
Brian was still distressed and chagrined. What happened today was too sudden that he did not react in
time and he did not expect Zoe would be so impulsive.
"Again I did not protect you well. I am so incompetent as your boyfriend."
He didn't say sorry, but he was guilty.
"It's none of your business. Leave me alone. Go out and see the chairman."
Winnie took the ice in Brian's hand and urged Brian.
"Ok, I will see Grandpa first."
Brian looked at Winnie with worry
However, he opened the door to find his grandfather had left.
Brian soon returned, which made Winnie confused.
"Why are you back?”
"Grandpa's gone home."
Brian looked suspicious and did not know why grandpa came.
"Won't you go out and see?"
Winnie was uneasy. Felix would not have come to vent anger for her.
"It's all right, Butler Lowe is with him."
Brian calmed down and began to analyze his grandfather's attitude.
"Winwin, Grandpa just defended you. I think Grandpa has a different opinion of you."
Remembering his grandfather's protection of Winnie, Brian felt happy. Although Winnie was beaten, he
saw grandpa’s attitude changed.
"Yes, I know he spoke for me."
Winnie answered in a light tone.
"Winwin, Grandpa appreciates you very much. We can't give up. We must work together to win
Grandpa's approval."
Brian said with hope and excitement. Looking at Brian, Winnie could not bear to cool his enthusiasm,
so she gave a faint smile.
"Ok, we work together."
She said she would work hard on it, but she felt it hopeless. Although she was happy today, it was not
approval. She still had no hope of becoming Brian’ wife.
Wendy went back to car angrily with her mother and showed her dissatisfaction with the behavior of her
mother.
"Mom, are you crazy? I told you to leave it alone and I will fix it. Why you came to make a scene?"
"Now, you have ruined everything. Even Felix had warned me, don you think I will still have chance?"
Wendy said in tears bitterly and resentfully. Maybe she was grieved or helpless, she was in a mess
now.
"I was angry. You had been bullied and Brian had been robbed away, I can’t sit idle. That bitch
deserves to be beaten."
"As bad as things were today, I don't regret hitting that woman. Don't let me see her again, or will still
beat her. No matter......"
"Mom...Mom..."
Wendy stopped her indignant mother.
"Mom, Brian's family has come forward to protect Winnie. If you provoke her, you will get into
unnecessary trouble. Felix warned that if we want to keep the Yup Group, we had better not provoke
Winnie. Do you still dare to behave foolishly?"
Wendy was angry at her mother's outrageous behavior and did not know how to make her understand
the truth.
"What are you afraid of? It's better to bring down the Yup Group. It's not ours anyway. Wendy, when did
you become so timid? How can you stand this?"
Zoe still did not realize that what she had done was wrong. She was very flaunting and felt proud to
beat Winnie, because she vented anger for her daughter.
"Mom, what is wrong with you? Can you get a job? Or do you want Dad to get a job? If we lost the Yup
Group, how can we make money? Without the Yup Group, we have nothing."
Wendy was so angry and even had no spirit to scold her mother. Her voice obviously lowered down
and she felt so helpless.
Zoe said at this moment.
"Wendy, don't talk about it. Go back to the hospital and have some rest."
Zoe started the car and drove to the hospital.
In order to be alone with Winnie, Brian finished all the work before it was time off work.
He came to Winnie's office.
"Is it not over yet?”
"It's over. I'll turn off the computer and go."
Winnie answered as she turned off the computer.
"Brian..."
Winnie was about to say something, but then she stopped.
“What's the matter?”
"Nothing, we will talk about it outside."
After Winnie turned off the computer, they left together.
They drove a car today. Winnie insisted to drive, Brian had to agree.
On the way home, two people had been talking and laughing at the beginning. It was not until Winnie
suddenly swerved to the right that Brian became suspicious.
"Where are you taking me?”
"To the hospital."
Winnie could only tell the truth.
"To see Wendy?"
Brian tightened his eyebrows because only Wendy was in the hospital.
