From that Gloria deliberately showed her kindness and gentleness, Winnie knew she wanted
something from Brian.
"Never mind."
"Winnie, sit down, your foot is hurt."
Alice said and help Winnie sit down.
"I'll bring Miss Lee a chair so that you can sit down and talk."
With that, Alice went to Winnie's desk and moved the chair to the sofa.
"Please have a seat, Miss Lee."
Gloria looked at Alice with a faint smile and then sat down.
"Assistant, I want to talk with your director alone, can you wait outside?"
Gloria said politely, but it was clear that she was arrogant.
"Mr. Bennet told me not to leave Winnie , if I go out, Mr. Bennet will blame me."
Alice answered Gloria with embarrassment.
That was exactly what Mr. Bennet said, but he left it to her discretion. She felt Gloria was unkind and
she was afraid that if she left, Winnie would have a bad time.
"Mr. Bennet is really concerned about his woman. He is a good man in this point. Don't worry, I won't do
anything to your director."
Gloria was still warm in her expression, but Alice always felt cold from her.
"I..."
"Alice, go out first."
Winnie said. And Alice walked out reluctantly.
"I hope you don’t mind, she's always been the best employee."
Winnie explained with a smile, lest Gloria had other ideas.
"She is serious about her work, I won’t mind it."
Gloria was still gentle and did not look like a scheming woman. Winnie had bad impression on her, but
she looked so different now.
"I came to see Mr. Bennet today, but his secretary told me he is away on business, so I came to you."
"I know your relationship with Mr. Bennet, so I think it is necessary to explain it to you."
"Mr. Bennet and I have a partnership. I have a boyfriend and he has you. We had to act to conceal our
parents."
"Don't think much about it. You will have Mr. Bennet back when it's over."
Gloria said blankly, as if she had no plan for Brian.
But Winnie was not stupid. She felt that Gloria was scheming since she came to explain, because there
was no need for her to explain. Did Brian also need to explain to Gloria's boyfriend?
Winnie had that in mind, but she did not say it out. With a faint smile, she spoke softly.
"No, Brian has told me all about you. I understand your situation. You would not have such cooperation
if there was another way to solve the problem."
"Thank you for your understanding. I came to you with guilt, now I feel better."
Gloria smiled faintly. However her eyes were not as calm as Winnie’s.
She came to visit Winnie. She heard that Winnie was wise, capable and amiable. She was highly
regarded by others.
So she came to see Winnie in the name of visiting Brian, to see how wise Winnie was.
But she found nothing. Did she fail to find Winnie was smart or was Winnie not good as rumor had it?
"Don't worry about it."
Winnie saw no hostility in Gloria's eyes, but she could see that she trying to know something.
She was right that Gloria was not simple as she looked. She was pretending, but she did not know how
long she would pretend.
Wendy had been bothered by Winnie's warning for a whole day since noon yesterday.
But she woke up. She decided not to use dirty means, otherwise Winnie would fight back if she was
provoked.
She knew why Winnie gave her that warning. Winnie knew about the foreigner's call, but she did not
investigate it.
And Winnie knew it was she sent those pictures and videos anonymously and they were out of context.
But Winnie still endured it.
She had endured all these, but it did not mean that Winnie would endure all the time, so it was right to
stop. If she went too far, she would have her consequence.
But Wendy did not understand one thing. What did Winnie by her memory with Brian? And she referred
it was the memory of the accident.
Did Winnie know that she was not that woman? How could Winnie know what Brian didn't know?
It confused Winnie. She had been trying to find the answer, but again and again she denied the
answers.
When she was annoyed, her phone rang. Seeing that it was not from abroad, she picked it up.
"Hello, I am Wendy."
Wendy said.
"Hello!”
Hearing the voice, Wendy felt creepy.
"You..."
"I... I'm your husband. Have you forgotten my voice so soon?"
Right, it was Jonny.
"You have the wrong number..."
Wendy pretended not to hear anything and was to hang up the phone, but Jonny said.
"If you dare hang up my phone, I will go to your home now."
Jonny said harshly and domineeringly.
"You are in B City?"
Wendy asked nervously. It was a domestic number, so there was only one possibility - Jonny was in
her country.
"None of your business. If I want to see you, I will see you."
"Wendy, you are so cruel. You lied to me and didn't answer my calls. Do you think I can’t find you
anymore?"
"I foolishly believed in you and believed that you would come back to me and take care of our child. But
you let me down."
"Since you are so cruel to me, don't blame me for being unkind. I will call Brian right now.”
Jonny said in one breath, afraid that Wendy would hang up the phone.
Actually he was abroad. He met a person from Wendy’s country and bought his phone number. Wendy
thought he was B City.
Good, it could control Wendy by this.
"Wait..."
Wendy said and began to make her up story.
"I didn’t lie to you. I was on the plane, but my mother got seriously ill, so I had to get off the plane."
"I..."
"Go ahead, keep making up. Your mother was sick. Was your phone sick too? When I called you, your
phone was off, but I another number could get through it, but you refused to answer. You had obviously
blocked my number, and it had nothing to do with your mother's illness."
"Wendy, no matter what reason you say, I will not believe you again."
Jonny had been lied twice, if he was lied again, he would be the stupidest person in the world. Wendy
was hiding from him and didn’t want to go back to him. But she could not hide from him after using him.
"Jonny, we were a couple. You can't call Brian for old times' sake. We..."
Wendy did not make up again, because she had been seen through, so it would be pointless. She tried
to communicate in a different way, trying to impress Jonny by lowering her stance, but Jonny didn't give
her a chance to finish her sentence.
"You don't even care about our child, and now you're talking about our relationship? Are you so cold-
hearted, do you think I will care about it?"
"Wendy, you are a heartless man. You even gave up your own daughter. Don’t pretend. She cried sadly
and begged you to stay, but you ran away secretly. Do you think our relationship still matters? In your
dreams."
Jonny was resentful. He hated her even more when his daughter was sad and sick after Wendy left.
Wendy is a cold-blooded person and did not deserve to be a mother, did not deserve to talk about
relationship. Jonny now had no illusions about Wendy, but he could not let her go because he had
helped her.
"What do you want? What can I do to stop you from calling Brian?"
Wendy could not defend herself, so she asked Jonny to raise his requirement.
"Ten million."
Jonny gave Wendy his answer immediately.
Now he only cared about money, only money could heal his heart and his daughter’s heart.
"Ten million?"
Wendy was shocked.
In the past, ten million was just a number to her, because she did not know how much money her
family had and because Brian could solve it for her. She never thought ten million was a big deal.
However, after breaking up with Brian, she had no financial resources and heard from her mother that
her family was only living on salary. Under the circumstances, ten million was an astronomical number.
"It is not much. It's more than ten million for the things I did for you, and more than ten million for the
beating I got because of you."
Jonny meant there was another ten million, but he didn’t know if Wendy could take the hint.
"I don't have that much of money. How can I get it?"
Wendy became panic because of the money problem.
She knew Jonny. If she couldn't satisfy him, he would do what he said and would contact Brain.
"I don't care. It's your business whether you have money or not. It's my business whether I call Brian or
not."
"If I don't have ten million into my account by this time tomorrow, you can wait for Brian to call you."
With that, Jonny hung up the phone, which made Wendy could not vent her anger.
"What shall I do? I shouldn't have messed with him."
"He's such a jerk. He must never stop pestering me. Now he's in B City. If I don't give him the money,
he will come to my home and it will be troublesome."
Wendy paced up and down the room, talking to herself. She hoped that she could solve the problem
herself, otherwise, her mother would not agree to solve it with money.
