Vanessa knew the reason for crying Megan and was stunned for a moment, but she did not know how
to comfort.
She picked up Megan, came to the kitchen and asked her sister who was preparing breakfast.
"You told them?"
"Yes, last night."
"Megan, don’t cry, I made your favorite breakfast."
Winnie comforted, but her mood was also very bad.
The kids had been silent since they got up this morning. Sitting in the living room, they did not watch
TV or play with toys.
Winnie was not worried about Megan, because she would find ways to vent. But Luke had a disease
before, she was worried about him.
Hearing that, Megan cried out. Vanessa could only take Megan away.
"Don't cry. You won't have fewer love even if they're apart. They will love you even more. They have
their lives, you have yours. No one can change anyone, so it’s wise to accept the fact."
Vanessa persuaded the two kids. She knew that it was unfair to the kids and difficult to understand, but
she had to say that. She couldn't let her sister be sadder because of her two kids.
"But we have no home."
Megan heard what the adults said and understood what was going on. But she still couldn't handle the
shock.
There was no dad, no family. Now she had but soon she had to lose it. Who could understand her at
this moment of loss and unease?
"You have a home. This is home, grandpa's is home, Great Grandpa's is home. Do you like..."
"Great Grandpa's is not home, and I'll never go there."
Luke spoke finally, which was shocking.
"Luke, why?"
Vanessa asked, puzzled.
"He's not nice to mom, he discriminates against mom. If he hadn't objected to mom and Dad being
together, Mom and Dad wouldn't have split up. I don't want to go to the old house. I don't want to be
controlled by him all my life like my father. I can't even have the people I love the most."
"I don't want his company. I don't want a penny from him. I need to earn my own money and take care
of my sister with my ability."
Luke was emotional. He did not cry but his dark eyes were full of resentment.
Whether mom was the reason for the breakup or not, he thought grandpa was the reason. If he hadn't
been against it, Mom and Dad would have been officially married and none of this would have
happened.
"I'm not going there, either, and I don't like Great grandpa's attitude toward Mom."
"Dad told me yesterday that he's going to live with Great grandpa when he gets married. If I have a
stepmother, I won’t go there.”
Megan said, not she only listened to her brother.
"Being clever at such a young age is not good, you have your thought now."
Vanessa joked, and she was not so angry because of the attitude of the two kids.
In fact, she also did not like the old house, not only people there were sophisticated, even the houses
and plants were influenced by the master's condescending manner, giving a sense of oppression.
She thought the kids could not have such idea, after all, they were the kids of the Bennet family.
"You can’t have that thought. Great Grandpa is bad for mom, but it has nothing to do with you. Do you
think Great grandpa is good to you?"
Vanessa asked, wanting to let the kids realize that what they just said was extreme.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Brother and sister answered at the same time.
"If Great grandpa is good to you, you should be good to him. You should not deny his kindness to be
just because your mother."
"What's more, it's impossible for Great grandpa to be bad to your mother in the future. She is free and
doesn't have to face him anymore."
For the kids' mental health, Vanessa enlightened them to a positive way.
The kids were silent and did not continue their argument. The agreed with Vanessa, but they still
thought great grandpa was involved.
The dialogue was heard by Winnie. She felt heartbroken. The child was in silent protest.
But she really could not maintain any relationship with Brian. She was sorry that she could not continue
to endure.
She wanted to bear it alone till two kids grew up. However, this process was much more difficult than
she imagined, without the cooperation and support of Brian.
Klara learned that Winnie had not plan to go abroad and had been suspecting that Wendy cheated her.
On Weekend, she asked Wendy out.
In a cold drink shop by the sea.
"It's nice to be here. I didn't find such a good place before."
Wendy sat on a chair and looked at the sea not far away. She hadn't been so relaxed for a long time,
and she seemed to have been busy in the Winnie problem.
"You are in such a good mood, there is something I don't want to talk about, or you will not be happy."
Klara was calm, as before.
"Well, Go ahead."
Wendy's good mood had gone as the sea breeze as Klara said that.
"I go back to work at the Bennet Group's headquarters."
Klara said.
"That's a good news. You should have told me earlier."
But in her heart she did not think so, because Klara would be close to Brian.
The news was not good for her, on the contrary, she began to be nervous.
"After I went to work, I heard that Mr. Bennet wanted to get married with Gloria, and it is absolutely true,
not for the sake of cooperation to create gossip."
Klara told Wendy about the shocking news.
However, she did not have the final confirmation of this matter because she did not know it was
cooperation hype or fact. If it was truth, she was cheated by Wendy again.
"You said Gloria and Brian are going to get married?"
Wendy asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, I heard that."
Klara answered.
Wendy froze there, not knowing what to do. She thought it might be Gloria, but she couldn't accept the
news.
After all the hard work, she spent out all her savings, and on top of that, contacted some people she
couldn't get rid of, and got herself covered in injuries.
In the end, it was Gloria who reaped the rewards. What was the meaning of all that she had done?
"It can't be true, why doesn’t he marry with Winnie?"
Wendy did not want to believe that all this was true, but she knew that Gloria and Brian were not in a
partnership. She just made it up.
What should she do? Should she just throw in the towel and give up the one she loved the most?
"Klara, help me think of a way. I've worked so hard for so long that I can't give it to Gloria. Even if Gloria
wants to be with Brian, she should fight for it herself, not with my help. What would Brian and Winnie
think of me?"
Helpless, Wendy could only appeal to Klara.
"I don't know what to do at the moment. Before I went back to work at the Bennet Group, Mr. Bennet
repeatedly told me not to intervene with anything, but only work hard or I will lose my job."
"Wendy, I want to help, but I can’t."
What Klara said was true. It was not that she did not want to help, but that the conditions were not
allowed.
Now her position was awkward. If Brian and Gloria married, she still had no chance.
"Actually, Wendy, what I wish most is that Mr. Bennet will marry you. But now..."
"Wait, Wendy, there is still opportunity. I heard Penny is out. Maybe she can help you."
Klara suddenly thought of Penny, perhaps Penny was Wendy's last hope, but also her hope.
Wendy was to be angry when she heard that Klara could not help, but Klara gave a method.
She vowed not to mess with Penny again. Her existence had no difference to Jonny. But she was
curious
"Penny was sentenced to six years in prison. How can she be released after only one year? Are you
sure it's true?"
"Of course it's true. Anyone in the Bennet Group knows her. The news was heard by a former
colleague of mine. She overheard Winnie and others on the phone when she mentioned this matter, so
she told me."
"Winnie is a party to the case, before Penny is out, the police will contact her."
Klara said the matter in general, at that time she did not care about it, but now she felt Penny might be
a good helper.
"It seems true. Help me find out where she is."
There was no plan for the time being, but Wendy might use Penny in case of necessity.
"Don't worry, I'll find out for you."
"Wendy, why Winnie hasn’t gone abroad yet?"
Klara changed the subject. She had to know where her money was.
"Oh, that may be a delay. I'm too busy with work these days to ask about it."
Wendy obviously was in perfunctory, the dodge in her eyes exposed her uncertainty.
"But I heard from my colleagues that she will not take a trip abroad in the last six months."
Hearing that, Wendy ducked but she could not lose so much money for no reason.
But she calmed herself down in time.
"Have I been misinformed? Have I been deceived?"
This move was good, she asked Klara in turn.
"I don't know, but if you were cheated, how about our money?"
Klara didn't care who lied to whom, who was telling the truth and who was lying. She only cared about
her own money.
