After dinner, Thomas was chatting with Felix, inadvertently bringing up the issue of custody of the two
children. He did it on purpose actually. After all, the topic started with the two children, so he may not
be suspected.
"Dad, you still have not settled down the matter of the two children, right? To keep them or to give them
to Winnie? Just make a decision quickly, so that the thing could be solved."
Thomas's words made Felix feel surprised.
Thomas at the beginning opposed to give the two children to Winnie, but now it seemed that his
attitude had changed.
"I can’t decide now, what’s your advice?"
"I think... in fact, it’s better for the two children living with their mother, both doing good for the physical
and mental health of them, and they would be more confident. Then when they grow up, it is not too
late for us to ask them back. No matter where they live, they are the children of the Bennet family.
There is no need to force them to stay here."
Thomas's attitude had changed completely, which was not expected by Felix. But Thomas's words
were somewhat reasonable. Only in Rufus's opinion this was not enough to make the two children
happy.
Since the last time they came here, seeing the two children being ridiculed by their classmates and
watching Megan cry in anger, Felix's heart was going to break.
It was indeed unfair for such a small child enduring so much. The older generation of them had a
harder time but grew up with their mother around and a complete family. Looking at the two children
without a home, no mother around, Felix indeed could not bear it.
But for Winnie, he was not likely to accept her as the daughter-in-law of the Bennet family.
"Dad, you knew Brian and Winnie were together from the very beginning. At that time if you had
stopped them, there would not be so much trouble now."
Thomas's words pulled back Felix's thoughts. Felix glanced at Thomas before speaking.
"I don’t know. They already had a child when I found them out."
Felix did not tell the truth, because it had become a fact, and there was no need to argue who was right
and who was wrong, because Thomas would be unhappy if he knew the truth.
Felix's answer, indeed, let Thomas felt very uncomfortable. He was just feeling out his father's attitude,
but he did not expect that at this moment, his father was still hiding things from him.
In other words, from the very beginning of the competition for the Bennet Group’s position as the
person in charge, his father already favored of Brian and was shielding him on everything.
"It's strange that at that time Brian was in a relationship with Wendy. Wendy didn't give birth to a single
child of the Bennet family, and Winnie, a person who no one knew, even gave birth to two children."
Thomas said deliberately. This was his last chance he gave his father.
If his father told the truth, then he would take care of his father's feelings. If his father didn’t, then did
not blame him for being ruthless.
"Who could have predicted this kind of thing. As long as they are the blood of the Bennet family, I don’t
care who gives birth to them."
Felix still did not tell the truth, Thomas felt very disappointed. But Thomas's disappointment did not
show out, and immediately he continued to talk about Winnie.
"Dad, I think Winnie is a talent. If you can't accept her as the daughter-in-law of the Bennet family, you
can't let her leave the Bennet Group. I heard Jack say that when she was at the Bennet Group last
year, the Bennet Group had the highest revenues during that period. Such a talent is not easy to find,
and we should not let someone else take her to against us."
Although he was disappointed, Thomas began his plan, the first step of the plan was to keep Winnie,
who was a key figure.
"How to keep her? She has her own company."
Felix also knew that Winnie was a talent, and knew that Winnie could create higher benefits for the
Bennet Group if she stayed. But Winnie already had her own company, how could she return to the
Bennet Group?
"Her company is so small, can't we do anything about it? Either cooperate with it, or purchase it. In this
way, Winnie is the Bennet Group employee. We will be able to control her."
Thomas gave his opinion, but he felt that the best way was to keep Winnie in the Bennet family, so that
he could hurt Brian deeper, and they would be heartbroken after knowing the truth, and hate each other
or even hurt each other.
Felix was very satisfied with Thomas's proposal. To either buy her company or cooperate with her, or
finding a way to keep her by Brian's side, in that way, she could always work for the Bennet Group for
the rest of her life.
Felix had always believed that Thomas only inherited his ambition, and unfortunately he was not
competent in management, and with too much ambition, he would cause many unpleasant
consequences.
If he had Brian's management ability, with properly controlled ambition, when Rufus gave up the
Bennet Group, he would not choose Brian, but him.
After the talk with Thomas this time, many days of worry had been swept away from Felix’s heart. He
had made the best decision.
Emily was finally tricked back by Daenerys. Winnie and Daenerys made an appointment to pick Emily
up from the airport.
Emily was surprised to see Winnie and Daenerys coming together to pick her up. However, Winnie
gave her a big hug and said "good job" in a meaningful way, which made Emily even more perplexed.
"Why are you guys here?"
Emily asked in a puzzle.
"I miss you so much, so I come to pick you up. Are you tired of the trip, let’s go to the cafe to have a
drink before going home."
Daenerys and Winnie, one on each side of Emily, held Emily's hand and helped to take her suitcase.
Emily was inexplicably taken to the airport cafe, and was pressed into the seat with a confused face.
"Why are you guys acting weird today?"
Emily finally couldn't help but ask.
"You guys have a chat first, I'll go to order my coffee."
After saying this, Daenerys went directly to the front desk. Emily's question could only be answered by
Winnie.
"We act a bit strange today, but because I am grateful to you."
Winnie said seriously, but her face was bright and charming.
"Emily, I already know about you and Leo, and I also know that you have been holding back for me for
so long. Thank you for helping me, with good friends like you who always think of me, I think this is the
greatest gift of my life."
Hearing this, Emily finally knew the reason why Winnie and Daenerys were so strange today, and also
knew the purpose of Daenerys to trick her back. She could not bear Winnie's thanks, but she was too
heartbroken to say a word.
Winnie continued.
"These days, I know you have been sad, and I understand your disappointment in Leo, your feeling of
heartache. Emily, I still want to thank you for genuinely treating me as a friend and not doubting me or
resenting me when it comes to such a thing."
Winnie's sincere attitude made Emily feel warm. Although she had felt wronged all this time, but getting
Winnie's understanding and hearing her words of gratitude, Emily felt that everything was worth it.
"Well, don't thank me anymore. Since I am a friend of you, I do these things for you without regret.
What I was most afraid of at first was that you would be sad and disappointed, but now I am relieved to
see that you don’t care about it too much."
"I have been urging Leo to tell you everything, and now you know it. I do not need to help Leo now. In
the future, even if there is no Leo between you and me, I still will consider you as the best friend."
Winnie finally felt relieved, but Emily' felt her heart empty now. There was no longer a reason to
continue to hang out with Leo or meet him.
It was a good thing indeed, so that she could completely forget him and start over.
"I will also treat you as my best friend, even without Leo, we will never be separated for life."
"I still have to talk to you about Leo and me. I... "
Winnie just wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Emily.
"I know all about you guys, Leo has told me. This matter is completely over from now on, let's not even
mention it in the future."
Emily still did not want to mention Leo, even though she had given her most precious virginity to him,
she still did not expect anything from him.
What she wanted was his heart, his sincerity, not Leo's superficial attitude. Having physical contact with
him was a reason that she couldn’t let go of Leo, but it didn’t mean she could accept Leo having
someone else in his heart.
The past had already gone, at this moment she could only tell herself that there was more than one
good man in this world besides Leo, as long as she gave up Leo, she would definitely meet a better
one.
"You are still in love with Leo, otherwise you would not avoid him."
Winnie broke Emily's heart in one word, this topic although Emily avoided, but Winnie still wanted to
say. Some words must be said, otherwise it was a lifetime regret. She didn't want Emily and Leo to be
left with regrets.
Emily smiled bitterly, not admitting or denying it.
At this moment, Daenerys bought back coffee and placed it in front of Emily, then sat down. Emily took
a small sip and remained silent.
Winnie looked at Daenerys, and then continued the topic just now.
"I had a thorough talk with Leo two days ago, and his was quite frank. He said he no longer loves me,
but can be my best friend for life. He said the person he loves now is you, and only you is the woman
he loves."
Winnie repeated Leo's words, hoping that it would touch Emily a little.
"Leo and I are impossible, I think you should accept him and not give up this relationship."
Winnie persuaded Emily, hoping that they could have a good result.
However Emily just looked out sideways and didn't say a word.
It was not that she did not believe Winnie, but after being cheated by Leo once, she was a bit timid to
believe in Leo's words.
At this moment, Daenerys also tried to explain.
"When you and Leo broke up, Leo was indeed unsure of who he loves. He asked you to continue to
help cheat Winwin was not his ultimate goal, because no matter how long you cheated Winwin she
would know sooner or later. He did it to keep you by his side to find out if he was in love with you."
"After a few days he knew who he really loves, and confessed to you but you didn’t believe him. He
had no other way but to let you continue to help cheat Winwin."
"In fact, Leo should say these to you, but I think you will not believe him, so I just say them first."
"Emily, give Leo another chance, to feel whether he is sincere to you or not, if you can't feel it, you can
leave him anytime."
Daenerys said a lot in one breath. She knew the whole story and got involved in it as well. She felt she
had to make things clear.
Clearing up the misunderstanding, Emily was happy, so was Winnie.
