Winnie was disappointed, as well as Vanessa and her aunt.
He had been doing not well. He had been reflecting himself, but the damage to Winnie had never
stopped. In the eyes of the Chambers family he was not a scam. Because he hurt Winnie again and
again, Winnie's aunt refused to see him.
It had been two days since the blind date, but Brian and Gloria had not seen each other since the day
they parted or contacted by phone.
They agreed that they would not see each other privately unless asked by their elders.
In the past two days, Winnie had adjusted her mood. But today Gloria came to Brian's company.
Once she arrived at the company, she became the attention. All staff in the company had discussion,
even there was such conversation.
"Gloria is here. Will Winnie be ignored? Gloria was pompous, as if she was the real Mrs. Bennet. And
Winnie, as a mistress, dare not keep her head up."
"Yes, that's the difference."
"Don't talk nonsense. Mr. Bennet cares about Winnie. I think Winnie and he is the best match."
"You are naïve. Mr. Bennet is kind to Winnie because Winnie was capable and could bring benefits to
the Bennet Group. If you were Mr. Bennet, which one would you choose, Gloria or Winnie?"
"I... maybe Gloria. Even if Winnie is capable, she does not have a rich family."
"Right, you are simple and choose Gloria. Mr. Bennet is so clever, certainly he will choose Gloria."
Hearing that, Winnie was quite angry. But it was inevitable. After all, the relationship between Gloria
and Brian were public and she could not be a good person in everyone's mouth.
As Winnie had such a bitter thought, someone asked curiously, which caught Winnie's attention.
"You said that Mr. Bennet is nice to Winnie was because she was capable. Who told you that?"
"The president's secretary and I are very close. She told me. It must be right. She heard it from
Chairman when he was on the phone."
"..... Well, that sounds bad. Is the president personally responsible for keeping a talented person at
such a large company?"
The person seemed incredulous.
"She has two children. Winnie is not qualified to be his wife, but Winnie takes good care of the two
children, how will Chairman let her go?"
"You mean the chairman kept Winnie around for two reasons. One is that she can take care of the
children, and the other is for the benefits that Winnie brings to the company."
"Yes, you're right. That's what the president's secretary heard.”
"......"
The discussion continued in the tea room, but Winnie turned away.
She could accept the reason Felix keep her around and felt what they said was truth, because he took
interests as priority.
But was that why Brian kept her around? He said he loved her, he took care of her, she was his
medicine and she was his destiny.
Was this the truth or just a lie to keep her around?
Winnie's thought was confused. The sound of the discussion in the tea room was still lingering in her
ears.
In the eyes of the entire company, she was a mistress.
Everything in the world seemed to go round in circles, it would always return to the scene of deja vu.
Now Winnie came back to her initial experience and was called a mistress again.
Mistress, cheater attached to her inadvertently, but now it seemed to be with her for a lifetime.
Gloria was in Brian's office at the moment. She came to give an invitation for her father.
"My father wants you to attend our company's anniversary celebration as my boyfriend."
"Brian, this is our first cooperation. Think it over, you can quit now."
Gloria was born with amorous feelings, even enchanting when she spoke. Fortunately, Brian did not
like such charming woman.
"It has started, how can I quit? It is just acting."
Brian agreed to go to Gloria’s home as a boyfriend.
"All right, you agree. I need to explain to my boyfriend in advance so he won't get upset."
Gloria took the initiative to mention her boyfriend, so that Brian could be at ease.
"By the way, did you release the news the other day? I've had people try to block it, but they failed. It
took me a long time to explain it to my boyfriend. You should discuss it with me first."
Gloria mentioned it, which ruled out her own suspicion.
"It wasn't me. It could have been a journalist."
Brian had not investigated it, but Gloria did not look like telling a lie, so the only possibility was his
grandpa. Grandpa must be optimistic about the wealth of Gloria’s family, and afraid that he did not like
Gloria, so he made such a fuss.
"This reporter has background and even dare to report your news."
"Well, my work is done. See you at the anniversary."
Gloria got up directly and left Brian's office without hesitation.
Looking at the invitation on his desk, Brian knew that as long as they appeared in public together, his
affair with Gloria would become a reality.
Would Winnie be hurt again because of it? Was it right or wrong for him to agree to cooperate with
Gloria?
Wendy was anxious these days. She already felt hard to deal with Winnie, now it came Gloria. How
smart did she have to be to handle two people?
In face of such a powerful enemy, there was nothing she could do.
Every at this time Wendy wanted to find someone for help, but she could not come to Penny again, so
she could only go to Klara.
Wendy asked Klara out at noon. They met a cold drink shop.
"Wendy, how have you been these two days? I failed to contact you. Didn’t you read the news between
Mr. Bennet and Gloria?"
Klara asked before she could sit down.
"Yes, how can’t I not read it as it has been spread? I've been thinking about it for the past two days, but
I don’t know what to do."
Wendy was annoyed by this matter and did not care about Klara.
"What is going on? It is too sudden that they were together ."
Klara was confused for it happened unprepared.
"Yes, Klara, do you know Gloria?"
Actually, Wendy had checked the basic information of Gloria, but she thought Klara knew more about it.
"I am not sure, but she had worked with our company. She has a powerful family and everyone in B
City knew whose daughter she is. She had a scandal with Mr. Bennet about two years ago."
That was all Klara knew. She felt that Gloria's family was much better than Wendy’s.
"Is that scandal true or false?"
What Wendy worried right now was not family actually, but useless scandal.
"I don’t know. Mr. Bennet did not say yes or no."
At that time Klara was Brian's secretary, but it was not right to ask such a question.
"That is true then. I was not around, and Winnie was around. He can't refuse such a woman when he
only had Penny by his side."
"I saw some photos and videos of Gloria. She is coquettish in my words. All men like that kind of
women, so does Brian.
Wendy said hopelessly. If Brian liked Gloria, she really had to give up.
"Wendy, now it is not the time for this. Based on my knowledge of Brian, he doesn't like that kind of
woman at all. The person he loves the most is Winnie."
Klara really did not understand why Wendy was so stupid. Why didn’t she try to solve the problem but
cared about the past?
"If so, why did he make it big? I think Winnie will be abandoned soon like me."
Wendy really had no motivation to continue, because she could not handle with Gloria.
"Wendy, it might be Chairman behind that and Mr. Bennet must listen to him. If Mr. Bennet like Gloria,
would he wait until now? They would be together two years ago."
"I advise you to focus on Winnie."
Klara thought that Gloria and Brian should have no feelings for each other. Gloria’s only advantage was
that she had a rich family.
"Based on the current situation, Winnie will be a mistress all her life. Felix will not accept her. If he can
accept her, how can he allow Brian to be with Gloria?"
"There is no doubt that Gloria will be Brian’s wife."
Wendy wanted to give up and felt that Winnie was no longer obstacle. When the time came, she could
only retreat.
"No, I don't think so. Although Winnie has no a strong family background, Mr. Bennet loves her."
"It happened too suddenly. I learned from the secretary that on the day before the blind date, Mr.
Bennet and Winnie was good and there is no change after that. They're still together."
"I think Mr. Bennet seems to be acting, maybe he just finds a woman to deal with Chairman."
This was Klara’s conclusion after talking with the secretary, after all, he had Penny to do that, so it was
understandable.
"Did you ask the secretary?"
Wendy’s eyes became bright when she heard that.
"Yes, the secretary said she has never seen Gloria came to the company to find Mr. Bennet. How can
she not find him if they have a relationship?"
"Wendy, I think I am right based on my understanding on Mr. Bennet."
Klara gave an affirmative answer. Winnie did not care about it, which was the best proof.
"You mean there's hope for me?"
Wendy sat up straight, and she became excited from dejected.
