After ten days of getting along, Rufus did not want to leave Isobel.
These days Isobel's heart also had a subtle change, Rufus could feel it. Although she told him to leave,
her heart had a subtle sense of dependence.
This feeling was a kind of impetus to relieve their twenty years of estrangement, so if he went back, he
did not know how long they would have such a sense of dependence again.
But Vanessa really needed him.
“Don't worry, I won't disappear, I am old now.”
Hearing that Rufus was to book a flight, Isobel felt upset. She had been used to be taken care of by
Rufus. She was no longer lonely but felt warm in heart.
Now that he was leaving, it would never happen again.
Isobel lowered her head and dare not look into Rufus’ eyes.
Rufus stood in front of Isobel booking a ticket. Isobel said nothing, lowering her head.
Rufus soon booked the flight.
“I have booked the flight for the evening.”
“Rufus, it would have been great if you were single back then. It would have been great if you were an
ordinary person. We must be very happy now.”
Isobel still lowered her head and said with feelings.
If things happened as her wish, the world would have no suffering. This was fate, she loved, and she
was in pain, which was last for a lifetime.
“Isobel......”
Rufus did not know what to say, only felt that the suffering caused was taken by Isobel. She was bitter,
tired and sadder than anyone else, but she had endured it for so many years.
Rufus sat on the bedside and held Isobel into his arms.
“I'm sorry. It was all my fault. You should have a good home and a happy life, and I cheated you.”
“Next life, next life I will wait for you as a single, until you appear.”
He felt sorry to Isobel this life. Even if he tried to make up, he could not make up for the loss of her
youth, so he could only make it up in next life.
Feeling wronged, Isobel was touched by Rufus's words and cried.
She stretched out her arms around Rufus, sobbing.
“We can be together this life. I will find you next life as long as you wait for me.”
For more than 20 years, Isobel had been enduring the injustice and tears, but today she could not help
but crying out. With Rufus’ words, she felt it worth.
Thomas once again came to the prison. He said with a tough attitude to Wendy that he would not come
because it was his deliberate performance. If Wendy knew he came to see Penny, it was not a good
thing.
Till he saw Penny, Thomas still frowned with cold a face.
“You use Wendy, do you? Wendy is brainless, you can easily use her.”
Thomas said straightforward with direct and distant in tone.
“What am I afraid of now? Your nephew can break into the prison and do something to me?”
Penny said with disdain. She didn't care about anything now, the only thing that mattered was Winnie.
She just wanted Winnie to die soon.
“You're not afraid of anything, but you get me into trouble. I don't want to deal with such retarded
people like her.”
Thomas did not like Wendy, also hated Penny's attitude. But he never thought that these two would get
together.
“Uncle Thomas, you are changing your attitude too quickly. You never said that when she was with your
nephew. Now I think I'm trying to please Winnie.”
Penny gave a cold hum and took a disdainful look at Thomas.
“Cut the crap. Your time is limited, don’t you know that? What do you want to say to me?”
Thomas said with hatred and wished to leave now.
“Wait, let me ask you a question first. How did Wendy know you? Who told her you were here?”
This was what Thomas wanted to know today. Wendy was not scheming and she could not think of a
way to deal with Winnie.
Thomas had long suspected someone to help her, so he wanted to find out this person.
Wendy was stupid. The more things she knew, the worse it would be for him. Besides, she was no
longer of use, so it was best that she stayed away.
Since so, he had to found out the person behind Wendy.
“Klara, Brian's former secretary, the wife of the driver who died in the accident.”
Penny did not hide it. As long as Thomas wanted to know it, she told him, hoping it got as messy as
possible.
Hearing that it was Spencer's wife, Thomas did not say anything, but his expression was more serious
and he frowned more deeply.
“Go ahead, what do you want?”
Since he had already known who was behind, the rest was Penny's business.
“Nothing special, I just want to know the car accident about your nephew.”
Penny's voice became noticeably smaller.
“Don't you know, why still ask me?”
Thomas was confused.
“I'm not talking about the accident in which the driver was killed. I'm talking about the accident abroad.”
Penny had heard from her father about the car accident in which Brain had lost his memory, but she
was not interested. What she was interested in was the accident that Wendy said about abroad.
“Wendy told you?”
Thomas voice was low and cold, revealing resentment in his eyes.
Penny said nothing, but nodded.
“Nothing special. It was an accident.”
Thomas was gnashing teeth. Penny knew everything that Wendy knew. If Penny knew too much, it was
equal to a cancer which would threaten his life at any time.
“I don’t think it was simple like that. If it had been an accident, Brian would not have bothered to
investigate. And what was that thing that Brian was looking for?”
Penny kept asking, but she didn't have any hope of hearing an answer. She asked these questions,
just to observe Thomas's reaction to confirm her guess.
“You ask too many questions. It's best not to ask about things that don't concern you. You've only got
six years in prison. If you do it wrong again, you'll end up in prison for life.”
Thomas did not answer but warned Penny ruthlessly. But his attitude allowed Penny to feel assured.
“Uncle Thomas, I am bored in prison, so I inquired. If I make a mistake, I'm willing to bear the
consequences. But I hate your nephew no less.”
Penny said in a deep and low voice.
“Uncle Thomas, don't say that to your nephew. Otherwise, I can’t show him how much I hate him.”
Penny said looking at Thomas.
Thomas was silent thinking of something.
“Uncle Thomas, are you angry? You are good with my father, I don’t think you will be angry with me.”
Penny seemed to be easing the atmosphere, but she dropped another ‘bomb’.
Upon hearing Penny spoke of her father, Rufus looked at the prison police behind Penny. Seeing that
he did not look back, he whispered.
“Don't talk nonsense.”
Thomas reminded Penny cautiously, but Penny did not mind.
“Uncle Thomas, you don't have to say anything. You came to see me for more than just my father. I
went to prison because I hurt Luke. All the Bennet family members who can visit me must be the
opposite of Brian, or were forced by my father.”
Penny leaned her head forward and kept her voice to the lowest level. She saw through everything,
which made Thomas angry.
“Penny, you are alone in the cell...”
Thomas glared at her clenching teeth, but Penny did not care and was not afraid of Thomas. She
directly interrupted Thomas's words.
“Uncle Thomas, I want to get out, and then I can help you.”
The voice was much smaller and Thomas could only read her lips to guess the meaning.
When Penny said he was forced by her father, she clearly saw the tension in the eyes of Thomas. This
proved that her speculation was not off course.
She had guessed that, so she dare to put forward request with Thomas.
Thomas took a contemptuous look at Penny. At the moment, he found that Penny really hated Brian
and she was good at analyzing the fact.
Instead of repenting for going to jail, she hated him even more. She did not let go even if her family was
ruined, but she held hatred deeper.
Such a woman was terrified. She would care nothing and only vent her anger.
Back to her cell, Penny still thought of Thomas's reaction. It seemed that what she heard before was
true. Thomas had always been wary of Brian and selfish intentions for the Bennet Group.
If she could use Thomas to deal with Brian and Winnie, he would be a trump card. But she was not
sure if Thomas could meet her wishes. Even if Thomas could deal with Brian, she also wanted to
personally destroy Brian and Winnie.
They didn't say much today, but she learned a lot. It made her aware that people were mutually
exploiting and it was up to who could be the better.
Thomas got on his car and lost his temper, but no one heard him.
“Damn Penny, she was threatening me. And Wendy, I should early use some malicious means to
threaten her, otherwise Penny would not know too many things.”
Thomas muttered with resentment. He was indifferent to these two women, but they made things
messy.
Even though Penny was in prison, but she had a chance to call. If she made a call to Brian, his plan
would have gone up in flames.
What should he do? Get her out of prison?
If he got her out to deal with Brian, can he guarantee that he would not be involved? Would it be safer if
she stayed in prison?
Thomas left the prison and went directly to Richard, wanting to vent his anger on Richard.
Into the house, Thomas roared loudly out of anger.
“What did you say to your daughter? How did she know about the feud between Brian and me? Your
daughter has failed in your education and is still restless in prison. She wants me to get her out and
avenge her on Brian.”
“I don't know who gave her the courage to stand up to Brian. I may call her silly, but she try to threaten
me, I may call her clever, but she said stupid words.”
“And if I can manage to get her out, she would be under police’s watch. Even so, she wants to revenge.
Do you think she's got a head?”
“If Brian knows she is out, wouldn't he take extra care? Wouldn't he send people to guard her? If he
wouldn't do anything to her, he would use her to catch you.”
“It's crazy. It's impossible. She gets chutzpa in prison.”
After releasing all the resentment at one breath, Thomas felt tired and angry panting.
