After hearing what Thomas said, Wendy gave a cold hum with disdain.
"I can't explain it to Grandpa, but I have nothing to do with the murder case of Penny. I didn't kill
anyone, so I have no fear of the police’s investigation."
Wendy thought she had not killed anyone, so she was not afraid of the police. What she thought was
superficial and she was impossible to consider in perspective of Thomas.
"Stupid, you are out of your mind to think so."
"The murder case is related to Brian and Winnie. If the police notice you, they will find Brian to confirm
who you are, so they will find you. Then Brian will know that you met Penny. What do you think will
happen to you?"
Thomas was angry because Wendy was stupid, but hearing that he said, Wendy’s facial expression
changed.
She was alarmed and she did not expect that.
"How did I not realize such a dangerous thing? Uncle Thomas, do you mean if I ask Penny for help, it
would be bad for me?"
"Yes."
Thomas took a deep breath, it was not easy for Wendy to aware of that.
Wendy was afraid and she regretted. It was Klara's idea to find Penny for help. Klara didn't want her to
give up and wanted to continue to use her, so she just needed to recommend Penny to her without
thinking of these.
Thomas reminded her, which made her found she was a bullet, Klara was aimed at the target and
Penny was the trigger. But the final wound would be the bullet and she would be responsible.
Even if it was mutual use, her gain was negligible.
Seeing that Wendy finally woke up, Thomas' heart sank.
"Wendy, to be honest, although Winnie cannot marry into the Bennet family, Grandpa has
acknowledged Winnie's efforts for the two children. This means that whoever is Brian's legal wife, she
must accept the existence of Winnie, thought she was a mistress."
"Go on if you can accept it, but you can't discuss anything with Penny. If you can't accept it, get over it
now."
Thomas reminded her kindly, but he believed that Wendy would give up easily. If she really gave up
such an excellent man, she would really be a fool.
"I've said all I can. Think about it. I have to go."
Thomas's purpose was basically achieved. He turned and left.
Wendy stood alone by the sea, feeling mixed. She regretted and feared as well as felt angry. She was
not angry at Penny, but she hated Klara.
It seemed that Klara helped her a lot, but the result was bad, which showed that Klara’s help was
useless.
At this, she thought of that five million. She gave Klara more than five million and Klara had to give her
back.
Wendy did not go home but found Klara after she left the sea.
She wanted test Klara for the last time if Klara treated her as a friend.
"What is wrong, Wendy, why do you look bad?"
As Klara walked into the café, she saw Wendy wore a bitter face.
"Alas...... Don't mention it. Sit down."
Wendy took a sigh.
“What's the matter?”
Klara asked again before she sat down.
"Uncle Thomas just found me and asked me not to see Penny, saying that Penny would use me and
betray me because she had a bad character. She said if Penney called Brian, I will lose everything.”
"He also said, Felix had determined the position of Winnie being Brian’s mistress, and no one could
sway that, no one could hurt Winnie. Uncle Thomas wants me to think about everything and quit."
Wendy said to Klara and wanted to hear Klara's view of it.
"You mean Thomas said these to you?"
Hearing that, Klara was nervous and eyes were rolling erratically. No one knew what was in her mind.
"Yes."
Wendy affirmed her question.
"But you said that Thomas was on your side."
Klara asked with confusion and wondered why Thomas changed his attitude.
As far as she knew, Thomas and Brian were opposite. If he advised Penny give up, wasn’t it good for
Brian?
"Yes, he thinks for me and don't want me to be used by Penny. He did not want me to lose everything."
"I think Uncle Thomas is really good for me."
Wendy called him Uncle amiably and repeated this address.
"I don’t think it is good for you. Has he been bribed by Winnie, so he advised to give up?"
Klara heard that Wendy wanted to give up, but if Wendy gave up, her efforts of long time would be in
vain. She would have no one to use and could not get Brian.
For herself, Klara must persuade Wendy.
"Wendy, let me analyze this for you. First, Penny is not using you, but you are using her. She's been in
prison for, like, six years. And if her father is caught in six years, Penny will have to live there for the
rest of her life."
"Wait..."
Wendy called off Klara's analysis.
"You know about her father killed a person?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you about it?"
Klara found that she had said the wrong thing, but she pretended to be confused. She had never
mentioned it to Wendy, for fear that Wendy would not contact Penny if she did.
"No? I forgot it. Perhaps I forgot it."
Wendy felt upset that Klara deliberately hid this fact from her. She did not immediately reveal Klara but
wanted Klara to finish her analysis.
"I'll go ahead. Penny and Mr. Bennet were enemies. If she called him, Mr. Bennet would not answer it.
Who can keep contact with an enemy? So Thomas' fears are not valid."
"The chairman was determined the position of a mistress, but you are fighting for the position of Brian’s
wife, they were not the same. The chairman is over 90 years old, it is not certain whether he will see
the sun tomorrow. Why do you care about him? Once he dies, it's up to you to decide whether Winnie
can keep her position as a mistress."
Klara gave two kinds of possible analysis in details. She felt Wendy would insist hearing such detailed
analysis.
If Klara said such words before, Wendy would think it was helpful and Klara helped her wholeheartedly.
But now it sounded like such advice had nothing to do with friendship. If they were true friends, she
would persuade her to let go like Daenerys and Emily.
But Klara was not a friend but an enemy. She was still selfish and was using her, lying to her.
Wendy felt completely cool in heart and from this moment, Klara was her enemy.
But at the moment she could expose Klara, because she had to get her money back.
"You have a point."
Wendy said lightly but she did not continued, which made Klara worried.
"Wendy, you have held on for so long, you must hold on. Mr. Bennet is the only one good man in the
world. All the women are fighting to marry her. You have a superior condition, you can’t give up."
"All the women in the world? Including you?
Wendy said with a smile, it was like a kidding, but she was reminding her. Hearing that, Klara with guilty
conscience could not bear it.
"Wendy..."
Klara explained in embarrassment, but Wendy interrupted her with a smile.
"Just kidding. You are my best friend. How can you steal a man from me?"
Wendy gave a sly laugh and then changed the topic.
"By the way, I will give you back the five million through bank transfer. I'll give you the interest in cash."
With that, Wendy took out fifty thousand of cash to Klara from her bag.
"Ten thousand is interest, and another forty thousand is your salary for this month. Go home and let
your family see it, so they won't worry."
Wendy's tone was kind without any hatred.
Klara was nervous just now and now Wendy gave her money, which made her overwhelmed.
"Wendy, you don’t need to give me salary, I can’t accept it, and you only used the money for one day?
How can I have so much interest?"
Since Klara did not work until now, Wendy had given her living expenses every month, ranging from
20,000 to 50,000. In this case she could not collect interest from Wendy.
With that thought, Klara said so. But the sight of money made her tempted. It was hard for her, a lover
of money, to resist the lure of money.
"The salary has to be paid. You can’t let your family worry about you for you have not a job now. The
salary will give them peace of mind. When you get a job, I won't give it to you anymore."
Wendy seems to be considerate than before. Then she went on.
"As for the interest, I don't think it is much. It's not about how much. It's about trust. It's about your trust
in me. Take it. Maybe I'll borrow it from you next time."
Hearing that, Klara was pleased, so she took it.
"Ok, if you borrow money from me again, I will not collect interest. You are so good to me, how can I
not believe you?"
Klara took the money with a smile. Wendy would like to see Klara was greedy. Only by giving her a little
temptation, Wendy could get more next time.
After separating with Klara for a long time, Wendy thought she could not give up Brian, but she really
could no longer contact with Penny.
That was all she had in mind. Penny always asked her to be heartless and cruel, if she kept being told
like this, she would make a mistake.
Wendy made the final decision not to use radical methods, or mess with people she shouldn't mess
with, especially tough people like Jonny.
At the thought of Jonny, Wendy was horrified.
Jonny had been calling her by different numbers since he found out she didn't go to MG. But as long as
it was foreign number, Wendy would not answer the phone.
But Jonny didn't give up and kept calling her. His persistence showed that he could not contact Brian
and Winnie too.
In this way, Wendy felt down-to-earth and felt Jonny would give up after some time.
