Money again. She did not feel at ease using other people's money, but Wendy had no intention of
returning it.
"Alas...... The matter needs to be rearranged. I've already given some of the money to those people,
and I'll never get it back if I get cheated."
"But don’t worry, I will pay you back."
Wendy took a look at her watch deliberately, then quickly got up.
"I must go home at this hour. An important client is coming to my house today, and my father asked me
to learn from the client. That's all for today. I'll ask you out when I can."
After that, Wendy walked away directly.
She did not want to return all the money to Klara. Now she did not want to fall out with Klara, so she
could only hide from her. As for the next meeting, it was up to her to figure out how to deal with it.
"Wendy…Wendy..."
Klara called Wendy loudly, but Wendy left faster and faster.
"Why leave when speaking of money? I really don't know whether your family is rich or not, how dare
not return with my money?"
Klara was angry, but Wendy still had the money, so she could not show it, or she would lose everything.
Vanessa and Winnie took two kids to go to the park, playground and the library to make them happy.
It'd been a busy day anyway.
After playing for a day, the kids' mood improved, and the whole family were tired.
So they ate out instead of cooking at home.
At dinner, Winnie received a call from the superior leadership. So as not to reveal who she was, she
walked away to answer the phone.
"There's a recognition meeting next Friday, and you need to be there. Be prepared to speak on stage."
The leader was very proud that his soldier had achieved such a great achievement at her first time to
participate in the case. He was the most happy and proud person.
"Leader, can I not attend. I have not made any significant contributions worthy of this recognition
meeting."
Winnie refused politely, she was not in the mood to attend any meeting or banquet. She just wanted to
use this time to completely calm down and get out of the influence of Brian.
"It's very modest of you to say so. Your contribution is obvious. Without you, a cyber crime ring of that
size would not have been destroyed so quickly."
The leader recognized Winnie's ability, but he did not recognize Winnie's view. Modesty was a good
thing, but as a leader, he should not be good to his soldiers.
"My leader, even if I am not modest, I don't want to expose my identity to so many people. Once
exposed, I couldn't hide it. It would have a big impact on my work and life."
"Otherwise, give me a period of time, after I finish the software development, you praise me when I get
leadership recognition."
Winnie pushed back the time as far as possible, she did not want to expose her identity so soon.
The leader was silent for a while, but the excuse of privacy convinced him.
"Well, I respect that for your privacy. But I'm looking forward to your software."
"Rest assured, Leader, I won't let you down."
As she hung up the phone, Winnie turned to go back, but the phone rang again. It was Rufus. To be
honest, this man made her feel guilty.
"Rufus."
Winnie picked up the phone.
"Winwin, did I disturb you?"
Rufus as always gentle and nice, which warmed Winnie’s heart.
"No, I am outside with kids and Vanessa."
Winnie had walked back to her seat as he spoke.
"Good. I have something to discuss with you, and I wonder if you will agree."
"Ok, go ahead."
Winnie would try to do it, so as to reduce some of her guilty.
"Tomorrow, Brian will be on a business trip. Would you please come back with your kids and Vanessa
for dinner? I miss you."
Rufus was not sure whether Winnie would agree because she had just broken up with Brian.
However hearing that, Winnie was moved.
He invited them when Brian was not absent and he must miss them so he called.
"We will be there. I'll cook for you."
Winnie had no reason to refuse.
After hanging up the phone, Winnie looked at Vanessa sadly. Now the biggest problem was not her but
Vanessa.
"Rufus wants us to go to his place tomorrow. Are you free?"
Winnie asked Vanessa's opinion, but she had decided to let her push off even if Vanessa had
something to do. Because Rufus wanted to see Vanessa.
Now she and Brian had no relationship, and she would not be despised by Felix and Thomas.
So they only took Rufus as family and would not have complaints on him.
"What did Rufus say?"
Vanessa asked, but in her heart, she resisted.
"He said he miss us."
Winnie did not mention something unimportant.
Vanessa was touched.
It would be inhuman or cold-blooded if she didn't go under the circumstances.
"You have agreed, I have to put off even if I have things to do."
Vanessa gave her opinion, Winnie was happy to hear that.
Her sister really had grown up. She was no longer the sobbing little girl who followed her, no longer the
patient who ran away from the death of her parents and dared not face the truth, she was a sensible
and understanding adult.
After breakfast the next morning, Winnie drove her two kids and Vanessa to the suburbs. Winnie and
Vanessa persuaded the two kids on the way.
They asked the kids not to mention the breakup, or everyone was not happy.
It worked. Both kids promised never to mention it.
Before the car stopped, Rufus came out to meet, followed by Stella and Joshua.
"Hello Rufus, Stella, Joshua."
Winnie said hello when she got off the car. Since she broke up with Brian, she had no burden, and
communication was more relaxed.
"I'm glad you've come. Vanessa is here too."
"Hello, Rufus, Stella, Joshua."
Vanessa smiled and said hello. She had not come here for a long time, unexpectedly she felt like at
home.
"Don't be so polite. We're all family."
Stella smiled from ear to ear, but she felt bitter too.
If Brian was at home, if Winnie and Brian did not break up, it would be a day of reunion and harmony.
After that, everyone brought Winnie’s things together into the kitchen.
They sat in the living room to chat. Rufus looked ant Winnie for a moment and at Vanessa for a
moment, wearing a smile.
"Is Vanessa tired of learning this time?"
Rufus asked. He should take care of the two sisters, but he did not do a good job. It was them took
care of themselves
"Yeah, but I can handle it."
Vanessa answered composedly, she never complain about study.
"Don't get too tired. You have a lifetime to learn. There's no rush."
In Rufus's opinion, study was a good thing, but not as important as health.
"She spends all her time studying. Now she studied hard to skip grade."
Winnie was proud speaking of Vanessa. Vanessa studied harder than she did.
"Skip grade? How?"
Joshua looked at Vanessa in admiration. Skipping a grade was usually done in primary school and
middle school, but it was rare for anyone to skip a grade in college, at least not in his life.
"Well, after freshman year, she wants to jump straight to junior year."
Winnie continued to explain, and Vanessa listened to her sister's explanation with a smile.
"Vanessa, I thought I was good when I was in school, but compared with you, I am nothing.”
Joshua was excited that such a legendary figure was by his side. There was such a talent in the
Chambers family.
"You exaggerate. It is not difficult to skip a grade, you just did not try."
Vanessa said in a modest way. She thought as long as she tried, she could make it.
"Vanessa, will you be too tired?"
Rufus was proud but she was worried about Vanessa's health.
"No, I'll rest when I'm tired."
Vanessa answered readily, Winnie added.
"When my parents had an accident, Vanessa was sick at home, and she was absent from school for
more than two years. In order to catch up, she studied hard and skipped grades. I also advised her to
take it easy and take care of her health. But she said that she was not tired or she would have regret."
Winnie did not mentioned her parents deliberately, but Rufus felt guilty about it.
He stopped smiling and did not continue, because it was because of him. While others died because of
his mistake, he lived.
This situation would be filled with guilt.
"I support you to skip grades and study hard. But everything is on the premise of health, you must pay
attention to your health and don’t get too tired."
"It's a pity to lose two years like this, but we can get them back bit by bit in the rest of our lives, not just
in this moment."
Stella persuaded. She thought Vanessa studied desperately was to find back the lost time. She must
want to finish school as soon as possible, so that she could work earlier and then help Winnie to share
the burden.
