After Winnie came to the company, she began to work, but soon an unexpected visitor came.
“What are you doing here at this hour? Are you not busy?”
Winnie put down her work and looked at Jack, who was standing at her desk.
“I have just finished the report. I am not busy.”
Jack replied in a low voice, as if he was in a bad mood.
“Winnie... I don't even know what to call you now. I can't believe you're Luke's mommy, and Luke and
Megan are twins.”
Jack could not express his mood at the moment, and he was depressed.
He went on a business trip the day after he learned the fact and had just got back today. These days
he had been trying to accept the fact, but he was still uncomfortable, especially when he saw Winnie in
the company.
“It's very sudden to you, but it's the truth and nothing can be done about it. As for my address, you can
call me Winnie.”
Winnie said politely with a light smile and the got up.
“Sit here.”
She didn't know why Jack came, but she really didn't like to contact him from the bottom of her heart.
Winnie knew Jack's mind, so even if she was not willing to get along with him, today she would talk to
him. After that, they would get along as a colleague or as a friend.
Jack came to the sofa and sat down, looking sad.
He looked down, sighed, and looked up again.
“Winnie, actually I like you very much and always tried to get close to you. It's a pity you never gave me
the chance. Now I finally understand why you didn't give me a chance. This relationship is really
awkward, and now I can't like you.”
Jack thought about the scene he confessed his love to Winnie for countless times, but he never
thought that confession and abandonment would be carried out at the same time. It never occurred to
him that he would give up before starting the relationship.
Winnie had been silently listening, until Jack stopped speaking, and then she spoke.
“Thank you for liking me, and for understanding that this relationship won’t work. To tell you the truth,
my heart has always been in Brian and I never gave anyone a chance.”
Winnie told the truth. Only in this way could Jack feel better.
“But the chance of you going with brother is very slim. You should know that my grandfather insisted
that his granddaughter-in-law must be a match for our family.”
Jack seemed not to give up, because he found that even if Brian and Winnie had a complex
relationship, he still liked Winnie.
Winnie was different from all the women he knew, she was like a lotus out of the silt but not dyed,
making him showed awe and love.
Her quiet elegance, her calmness, her wisdom and her deep and lovely smile dimples appearance
easily conquered Jack's nerves.
He wondered why he had not met such a woman earlier, and why it was Brian instead of him who had
met such a woman.
As Winnie heard Jack's “kind” reminder, she felt uncomfortable. Her elegant face then leaked a trace of
embarrassment.
“Yes, I know it. I never intended to marry your brother. I never thought it would work out with him. I just
love him without any selfishness.”
“Two children are enough for my life. No man will ever come into my life.”
“Now that you know it is awkward, give up your love and put it into someone else as soon as possible.”
Winnie rejected Jack's love, which was why she talked to him.
She didn't want to make any man misunderstand, so she spoke so directly.
“I...Do I hurt you by saying this? I know you're good, I know you're good enough for Brother. I was
saying what Grandpa thinks, not what Brother and I think. I'm sorry if I have offended you.”
Jack realized that his words seemed to look down on Winnie, so he hurried to explain.
“No, I've heard it so much that I don't care.”
Winnie forced a tiny smile.
“Alas......I just hope my brother cherishes you.”
Jack was helpless. Even if Brian did not cherish Winnie, he could not be with Winnie.
Winnie made an appointment with her father's friends. She had been busy in the New Year, now she
should take time to see Uncle Romeo who had helped her.
Winnie and Romeo were sitting in a quiet corner of a Chinese restaurant.
“Uncle Romeo, you are in good mental condition recently. Do you still insist on exercising every day?”
Winnie helped Romeo with dished while chatting with him.
“Yes, I take exercise all the time. If you don't exercise when you're old, you'll get sick. Life is so good
now that I want to live a few more years.”
Romeo said jokingly. He was happy that Winnie treated him as a family member, and had been thinking
about him.
“You're right. Life is so good that you must cherish it.”
“Uncle Romeo, are things all right at home?”
Winnie continued to care. She was very gratified Uncle Romeo had such a state of mind.
“Yes, it is all right. You are not too young, have you considered marriage?”
Romeo's family was all right, now he was worried about Winnie. He hoped that she could be good so
that her parents could rest in peace.
“No, there are a lot of things I haven't done yet.”
Winnie was perfunctory, she was most afraid of others talking about it. She could not get married in this
life.
“Winwin, since we are talking about marriage, there is something I want to say.”
Romeo suddenly became serious and his smile disappeared.
“I heard you're dating the present of the Bennet Group. Is that true?”
For Romeo's question, Winnie was somewhat surprised. She did not expect Uncle Romeo to know it.
Winnie, however, did not know how to reply and could only keep silent.
From Winnie's silence, Romeo knew that the so-called gossip was actually true, but he had to remind
her.
“Winwin, your father and I have known Felix since we started the company. We don't know him
personally, but we know he is aggressive.”
“That kind of family is not suitable for us ordinary people. We'd better not have anything to do with
them.”
Romeo reminded, but what he said was not the reason for the opposition, he did not dare to say the
truth, for fear of Winnie would be hurtful again.
“Don't worry, Uncle Romeo. I have discretion and know that kind of family is not suitable for me.”
Winnie knew well Romeo’s concern. She had the same attitude when mentioned it, and it would have
no results.
It was a situation she never tried to change, for it was impossible to change anyone in the Bennet
family. The only thing she could change was herself, and she could only manage her heart by all
means.
After hearing Winnie's words, Romeo could not rest assured, but that was all he could say.
“Uncle, there's something I want to ask you.”
Winnie changed the subject.
“What is it?”
Romeo looked up at Winnie and did not know what she wanted to ask.
“I want to know why my father's company suddenly went bankrupt. I never heard my mother mentioned
that it was in crisis.”
This matter had been hidden in Winnie's heart for many years, and she had never had the opportunity
or ability to ask this question.
“The company encountered crisis was for affirmation, but your parents did not want to worry you, so
they did not tell you. I don't know exactly why, because by that time we'd been separated.”
Romeo said perfunctorily, because he did not know whether or not he should tell Winnie.
“I don't think Dad has ever done anything untrustworthy. But I never thought the company would fall
into my father's hands. Uncle, I still don't understand.”
Winnie mentioned the company with others for the first time. She was consumed and didn’t know who
could give her a convincing reason.
“It's normal that you don't know and can't accept it. Your parents died before they could tell you. Only
they knew.”
Hearing that, Romeo was embarrassed, and did not know how to continue this topic.
Winnie took a deep breath. Seeing that Uncle Romeo really did not know the truth, she thought
perhaps she was overthinking and it was likely to be a simple bankruptcy.
“Uncle, who bought our company?”
Winnie turned the conversation back to the company.
“I don't know who bought it, but now Alfred Yup is running the company.”
Romeo did not conceal, and there was no point in concealing it.
“Alfred Yup?”
Winnie was puzzled. She felt that the name was familiar and she did not know why
After dinner, Winnie still had not got any idea who Alfred was.
On the way back to the company, Winnie has been thinking about this person called Alfred. Suddenly
the household registration data of Wendy's family jumped into her mind. Alfred was Wendy's father.
When Winnie thought of this, she felt puzzled, so she turned the car and pulled over.
Alfred was the father of Wendy. Did he buy her father's company?
But she had never heard her father mentioned this person, how he bought her father's company?
Winnie could not understand, so she turned around and went to the place she had been afraid to go.
She came to her father's company, parked the car and stood at the door of the company.
So many years had passed, and the company had changed too much. It was much more magnificent
than before, much more majestic than before. The image that remained in Winnie's mind had vanished,
and the company was entirely new and thriving.
Was this company really managed by Wendy's father? If so, Wendy's father should be a leader with
exceptional ability, much more outstanding than her father.
Although there was no previous appearance, Winnie missed here, because her parents had worked
their whole life there.
Winnie returned to the car, before driving, she took the last look at the company, but found that Wendy
walked out from the inside.
Then Winnie was sure that this was Wendy's company, the Yup Groups in Brian and Felix’s mouth.
The Yup Group was not strange to Winnie, but she did not expect that her own company was actually
the predecessor of the Yup Group.
If her father and mother had not died, if their family had developed well, would they be able to become
the Chambers Group now?
At this thought, she felt sad. How her family went to the point of ruin.
