Jonny did not believe Wendy's words. Even if he believed, he and still angry and had nowhere to vent.
"You lie, even if you hurried to leave, you might not call, but it’s been days. You didn’t call and even
turned off the phone. How do you explain this?"
"I've been at the hospital with my Mom since I got home. I even had no time to sleep. It was not
convenient to charge my phone, and I was afraid that others know my mother was sick and came to
disturb her, so I turned off the phone."
"Today Dad is available to come, so I had time to go home and change my clothes and take a shower. I
just got home and didn't do anything before I called you."
Wendy kept lying for she could have a better future, for she could go back to Brian.
"Really?"
Jonny almost believed her.
"Why I lied to you, if lie to you, I will not have called you."
Wendy lied again. She told everyone that she returned because of this reason, but because of guilty,
not because of fear, but because there was some evitable things.
"Do you want to help me pursue Winnie?"
Jonny believed reluctantly and he still cared about Winnie.
"I want to help you, but I am not abroad now, because my mother is in hospital, temporarily I can’t be
there, and you can only rely on your own."
Wendy was perfunctory to Jonny. She had returned home so she could not help. If it were not for the
fear of Jonny telling the truth, she would not even say a perfunctory word.
Winnie and Brian would come back in a few days, and Jonny would give up. Even if he wanted to tell
Winnie, he could not find her.
"I don't know her. How can I rely on my own? And they'll be back in a few days, and I'll have no chance.
If you want to help me, make me some opportunity to see her."
"Wendy, don't try to play tricks with me. I give you three choices. One is to help me get Winnie, two is to
come back and remarry with me. If you fail these two, seal my mouth with money, or I can’t guarantee
what I will say to Winnie.”
Jonny said maliciously. He gave Wendy three choices, which had been kind to Wendy and given her
room. If she didn't choose any of them, they would block them all.
Wendy scolded him in heard. This damn Jonny unexpectedly was so rude to force her. If she failed
three of these, would he make her suffer regardless of the past relationship?
"Jonny, don't talk like that. Of course I'll help you. As long as you like Winnie, I will help you."
Wendy had no way, in addition to be perfunctory, she could only delay and appease Jonny as far as
possible.
After hanging up the phone, Wendy was angry gritting teeth and kept scolding Jonny in her room.
Jonny's temperament was even worse than before. She should not have asked Jonny for help even if
she lost this opportunity.
Now, Winnie was fine, but Jonny this disaster came to her. Worst of all, she was out of control and
Jonny was in charge.
How could she help him? She was far away! Damn it, she could only curse him.
"You didn't hear me calling you. What are you thinking?"
At this moment, Zoe opened the door and came in. Suddenly, her words interrupted Wendy's thoughts.
"Mom, why didn’t you knock at the door? You frightened me."
Wendy was in a trance, so inevitably she was frightened.
"I've called you several times and you didn’t hear me. How can you hear me even if I knock on the
door? What are you thinking about?"
Zoe felt that she came not suddenly, it was Wendy had something in mind, so Wendy did not notice
her.
"I am thinking about nothing."
Wendy did not want to answer. If she raised it to her mother, her mother will scold her.
"You are my daughter, do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? Come on, I will see if I can help
you."
Zoe did really not know what Wendy was exactly thinking, but Wendy’s face showed that she had
something in mind. She wanted to get Wendy to speak out and help her out, afraid that Wendy would
again and again mess things up. She did not have another ten million for Wendy to squander.
"Mom, I am thinking how to get Brian back. I still don't want to lose Brian like this."
Wendy did not put Jonny out, but just gave a summary of her ideas.
"You're right to think so, I support you, but you need to think about how you're going to do it and
whether you can afford the consequence. You can't use money to set things right. Do you think we are
really rich?"
"Is there any troubles from Jonny?"
Zoe had long wanted to ask, but Wendy had been evading the question.
"No, he had taken the money, there is no trouble, but now there's a new wrinkle. Jonny doesn’t want to
remarry me anymore.”
Still, Wendy couldn't resist shifting the topic to Jonny.
"That's a good thing. It's best not to remarry. Don't contact him again. Changed your phone number
and you two have nothing to do with each other."
In the eyes of Zoe, it was a great blessing. She didn't like Jonny from the very beginning. He was poor
and had bad character and hot temper, which made her sick.
"But...... there is condition for not remarrying him."
Wendy said haltingly. She was worried that if she told her mother whether it would became worse.
"What condition?"
"He met Winnie twice and said he likes her and asked me to help him court her. If he has Winnie, he
won't bother me again."
Wendy said with a frown. It was difficult to her obviously. Whether she was to help or not to help, it
would not end up good.
"Is that what you're worrying about? Help him then. It is good, why are you worrying?"
Zoe thought it was a good thing, through which she could get rid of Jonny and separate Brian and
Winnie. If Wendy hesitated, the opportunity would fade away.
"Mom, it's not as easy as you think. Jonny has no money and no power. How can he compete with
Brian? Winnie is impossible to give up Brian and to choose Jonny."
Wendy had already analyzed the matter thoroughly, if it was as simple as speaking, she would have
nothing to worry about.
Wendy continued.
"And Winnie is not a woman who is easy to be seduced. It is more difficult to court her than to climb the
sky."
"Besides, Brian cares about Winnie. He would not allow other men to contact Winnie and take her
away."
"I know this is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, but once Brian found out about my
relationship with Jonny, I will have no chance anymore."
Wendy was afraid because she had considered the consequences. If she had simple brain as Penny
who was foolhardy, she would not feel difficult. At the worst she gave up Brian or went into prison.
"You have to try. If you miss this good opportunity, who can create the next opportunity for you? If you
are afraid of everything, you should just give up Brian. If you want to have Brian, you should be afraid
of nothing. Anyone who becomes a great person should have courage and the spirit of not afraid of
death."
Zoe didn't want to give up the chance. She thought Wendy should try. As long as Jonny was under
control, she would remain undetected.
"Well, if you're afraid of being found out, I'll handle this for you. I'll take control of Jonny. Even if you fail,
even if you are found out by Brian, I will carry it for you. It has nothing to do with you. You and Brian
can have a chance to ease up your relationship."
Zoe took the initiative to deal with it. In order to avoid Brian from being with Winnie, she could only
come forward to help her daughter.
"But..."
"But what? What else?"
Zoe asked Wendy.
"Winnie is abroad now, this is Jonny's chance. He wants me to help make it happen right now. How can
I help?"
Wendy was in two minds, not knowing how to help Jonny, and not knowing whether what her mother
had said would work.
"How can you help?"
Zoe thought for a moment.
"Well, you can ask Jonny to buy something for you, and then ask Winnie to bring it back to you. This is
also a chance for them."
"Yes, why didn't I come up with such a simple way? Mom, you are smart."
Wendy suddenly brightened and she was in high spirits.
Jonny asked her to create a chance. It would work and could last a few days.
When Winnie came back, Jonny was impossible to threaten her.
Wendy did not hurry to call Jonny, but waited for Jonny to call, and then she would tell Jonny about it
so that she could win more time.
Abroad.
Luke had a day off before the final. It was the same as last time, he didn't go out to relax but only
focused on study, while Brian took the time to work.
"Mommy, it's boring. Brother's studying hard, Dad's working, only the two of us have nothing to do. Why
don't we go out and play?"
Megan was bored in the room.
"Ok, where shall we go to?"
Winnie was bored too, but everyone was busy, she was not in the mood to go out and play.
"It's better to go anywhere than to stay in a room."
Megan begged, not wanting to stay in the room.
"OK, I will take you out for a walk."
Winnie did not refuse Megan, because she was really bored.
They packed up simply and went out. To their surprise, they met Jonny again just after walking out of
the hall on the first floor.
"Miss Chambers, you finally come out. I've been waiting here for a while."
Seeing that Winnie walked out of the hotel door, Jonny quickly came up to her.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Winnie stopped her paces in doubt.
"Yes... No, no, no, I am waiting for you and your husband. I want Wendy's phone number."
Jonny changed his address, afraid that Winnie felt abrupt.
"Wendy's phone number? Why don't you go in and wait?"
Winnie was still confused. It seemed that Jonny had been waiting here for a while.
"The receptionist of the hotel refused to let me wait inside, saying it will affect the guests' access."
Jonny said awkwardly. He was indeed driven out, otherwise he would not be waiting outside.
"Well..."
Hearing what Jonny said, Winnie was enlightened. It must be Brian not allow Jonny to go in the hotel.
As far as she knew, the hotel had no policy against waiting.
"You don’t know Wendy's telephone number?"
Winnie asked and wondered whether she should tell Jonny.
"I know one, but it is off and I can't find her. I came to ask if you know her other phone numbers."
Jonny pulled out her phone and showed Wendy's phone number to Winnie.
