Although the scolding came suddenly, Richard understood what was going on.
Richard thought he must see Penny in the prison and Penny made him angry.
“Don’t be angry with her. What can she do in the prison? I didn't tell her much about us, just
occasionally. She's probably just idle and put everything together and then figured it out.”
“My daughter must have said something she shouldn't say. I apologize for her. Don't be mad.
Richard pleased him. No matter how angry Thomas was, he could endure it, because now only
Thomas could deal with Brian.
“I'm not angry? Can I not be angry? There was a cop next to her and she mentioned you again and
again, which was clearly going to get me in trouble. Richard, your daughter is too treacherous. She
doesn't give you a way to live or give herself a way out, something big will happen sooner or later.”
How could he not be angry? Penny's only ability was to make people angry.
“Yes, she is a simple woman who speaks without thinking of the consequences. I can't see her now. so
I can't tell her. I can only apologize for her.”
Richard continued his apology. But he scolded Penny did not make any progress in heart.
She was not clear what should be said and what should not be said, and who should be said to. If said
something without thinking, she would only get into trouble.
“Thomas, how is she now?”
He scolded his daughter in heart, but he still worried about her and wanted to know how she was
doing.
“You can learn that she is good from her words. She even has the strength to annoy me.”
Thomas said with resentment. He felt that Penny was too good so she fantasized.
“Good, good.”
Richard was relieved to hear that his daughter was fine.
“Why don't you try to get her out, and I'll talk to her in person and stop her talking nonsense.”
Richard thought carefully before he put forward his ideas. As long as he saw his daughter, he knew
what to say if he was caught by the police.
“I think you're mad, too. She'll take you in when she gets out. And with her impulsive, reckless nature,
she's gonna ruin it for me. Let her stay in there.”
Thomas could not create danger for himself. He must be careful, must succeed, never allowed anyone
to spoil his thing.
“Well, do what you want. Have you begun your plan?”
Richard could not force Thomas to help Penny, or it might have bad effect, so he did not continue to
ask.
“Yes, I have started it, but Brian has not sensed it.”
Thomas finally came to his senses.
“Don't you take advantage of Dominik Chambers and Brian? Don't you use Winnie?”
Richard asked and reminded him. But Thomas had thought of this important figure, how could he not
use him?
“I put everything into operation, and then I can make use of Winnie. Showing signs too early is giving
Brian time to fight back.”
“You are considerate. No one else can compete with him expect you.”
Richard said with flattery. He wished Brian would be defeated and Winnie pay the price.
As soon as he saw the miserable end of the two of them, he would turn himself in to the police station
and did not care if he was got shot to death.
Vanessa got up in the morning to dress herself and went downstairs until breakfast, but found Rufus
was at the table. She was surprised to see him.”
“Rufus, when did you get back?”
Vanessa showed surprise in eyes.
Rufus had been away these days, she always felt as if something was missing. He suddenly stood in
front of her, which made her had a kind of excitement when her father came back from a business trip.
“I came back last night. It was too late, so I did not tell you.”
Rufus smiled and said kindly. He was very happy to see Vanessa's surprised look.
“Good, will you leave again?”
Vanessa could be steadfast after making sure Rufus would not leave again. She asked her father every
time he came back from a business trip.
“No, where can I go?”
Rufus replied positively to Vanessa.
“Good, I'll feel relieved if you don't go. Rufus, take me with you next time, or I will worry about you.”
In fact, Vanessa was not used to be alone at home, not used to the day without Rufus.
During these days in Rufus' home, she had been used to Rufus's daily care and silent company. She
felt insecure without him around.
“Ok, I will take you with me next time, so that you can take care of me.”
Vanessa's words made Rufus' heart softened and sour.
He felt Vanessa’s dependence on him. And he knew that Vanessa had been enduring when he was not
around.
Isobel was right, Vanessa needed absolute security, needed someone to give her a sense of
steadiness, so that she could feel at ease in life.
“Don't talk about it now. Sit down and eat. I will take you to school later, and then we will talk it on the
way.”
Rufus changed the topic, afraid that he would cry because he felt distressed about her.
The Bennet's old house.
Thomas shut himself in the room after breakfast. He always felt uneasy, afraid that Wendy and Penny
would ruin his plan.
Penny could not get out of prison, but Wendy, a fool, did things for her. It was a sure way to implicate
him. Once he got Brian's attention, his plan would fail again.
Thomas felt it needed to be solved urgently, and he had to warn Klara.
At this thought, Thomas made a call.
“Check the basic information of a person named Klara, she used to be Brian's secretary.”
After that, Thomas asked Wendy out again. Then he set out at the appointed time and to the agreed
place.
They did not go to the tea house or coffee shop, but a quiet place on the beach.
Thomas was there for a while, when he was to lose his patience, came behind Wendy’s panting sound.
“Uncle Thomas, I am sorry I am late.”
“You have no sense of time, it is irresponsible to others.”
Thomas said with dissatisfaction.
Now he thought Wendy had no merit. She did not work or study, just relied on her parents, nothing
different than the punks on the street. He didn’t know if Brian was blind at that time and liked such a
woman who was not motivated and had no sense of time.
By a glance, he felt Winnie was much better than Wendy.
“Sorry, Uncle Thomas, there was a traffic jam...”
“Stop making excuses. Being late is being late. The traffic jam is no excuse.”
Thomas took a disdainful look at Wendy and then looked at the sea.
“I called you here today to tell you not to have anything to do with Penny, not to see her in prison.”
Thomas said coldly, which did not fit to the bright sunshine this day.
“Uncle Thomas...”
Wendy showed an embarrassing look. She wanted Penny to give her advice, but it did not seem to
have anything to do with Thomas.
“Don't make excuses. Don’t you know Penny is using you? You once said she was helping you by
giving you advice, but her purpose is to kill Brian and Winnie. No matter what happens to Brian and
Winnie, you are the fall guy.
“You can't see that, but still go around with a man in prison.”
Thomas felt vexed when Wendy talked. Once he was vexed, he could not control his own temper.
“Penny looked down on Brian. Don't you understand Brian? If he can be easily destroyed by Penny,
how can he hold up the whole Bennet Group?”
Thomas said these words because he did not want Wendy to get involved. In order not to expose
himself, he had to make Wendy stop, so he could only use this method.
“Uncle Thomas, you used to support me. You know my goal is to get Brian back. I don't want to do
anything to him.”
Wendy didn't seem to hear the point of the question, or maybe she didn't want to give up so she
deliberately ignored the point of the question. No matter what she thought, Thomas didn't feel well.
“I did support you in the past, because you and Brian were not together for years. I felt pity that you
give up like that. And I did see that you could not leave Brian, and that is why I helped you.”
“But you, you have changed the nature. If you want to get Brian, you can hurt Winnie, but it is wrong to
ask Penny for help.”
Thomas calmed down himself and explained. It looked like when he talked to Wendy, he had to explain
every detail before she could understand.
Wendy deserved to be used.
Thomas continued to say.
“I've told you more than once not to have anything to do with Penny for your own good. I told you
Penny's purpose is to kill both Brian and Winnie. She only helps you for her own good, not for your own
good.”
“That is what I want to say. Even if you win Winnie, Penny will not let you get Brian. When she makes a
phone call to Brian, everything about you will be exposed. Brian still will kick you out.”
Thomas felt his mouth dry, but found that Wendy was still ignorant.
“It seems that you do not believe what I said. If you do not believe me, you can ask her for help. If you
lose, don't blame me that I didn't warn you.”
Thomas did not know what to say. It was not terrible to be stupid, but Wendy was stupid and stubborn.
“But, but I want to go back to Brian.”
In fact, Wendy believed Thomas's every word, believed that Penny had her motive and that Penny
finally could ruin her plan.
But for the time being she had no one to help her, only Penny. It was not that she was used by Penny,
but they used each other.
Now the most important thing was to drive Winnie away from Brian and then she would think about the
next step.
“It's not wrong for you to want Brian, but you can find other ways to deal with Winnie, not ask Penny for
help. Now Grandpa doesn't know it. If he knows you have dealings with Penny, I'm afraid you won't be
able to stay in B City.”
“Also, although Penny is serving six years in prison, you know the police are keeping a close eye on
her. She may have had something to do with her father's murders. If you keep going to see her, the
police will notice you and come after you.”
Thomas failed to persuade Wendy, so he could only mention Felix and Richard.
