Winnie was scolded suddenly. Before she could explain, Zoe continued to abuse with harsh words.
“You were kicked out by Brian, how can you be shameless to work here? He’s getting married to Gloria.
What's the point of you staying here? If you have self-knowledge, get out of here and don't wait for
Gloria to drive you away.”
Winnie had been enduring. There was whispering about this matter. She felt countless fingers pointing
at her, countless eyes mocking her.
Yet she wanted to know what she had done wrong, to be accused by someone who had nothing to do
with her, and these people whispered at her.
“Zoe, you went too far. It doesn't seem to affect you whether I go or not and whether I have relationship
with Brian or not. Please show me the least respect.”
Winnie said, but it made Zoe anger.
Zoe seemed to have found the opportunity to fight back thoroughly and she wanted to take revenge for
her grievance last time.
Now Winnie had nothing to do with Brian, so Zoe felt she had no scruples to scold her.
“You want respect? You stole a boyfriend from others, you are just a mistress who only seduced men
with your body...”
“Shut up.”
Zoe hadn't finished her scolding yet, but there came a cold angry voice. Zoe looked back and found it
was Brian.
“Have you said enough? This is the Bennet Group, do you think it is the place you can make a scene?”
Brian strode to Winnie, angrily staring at Zoe. He was full of awe-inspiring force. His eyes were burning
with anger and but his voice was cold.
He did not expect to see this scene, to see Winnie was being scolded with such harsh words. He and
Winnie had broken up, but on one could give her finger-pointing comments.
They had broken up, but she was still the mother of his kids. For the sake of the kids, Brian intervened
to stop Zoe.
“Brian...”
“Don't explain. Leave now.”
Brian hated Zoe to a certain extent. If Alfred Yup had not been honest, he would have put everything in
the Yup family back to zero.
“Let me explain.”
Zoe finally realized that Brian's anger came from her abuse of Winnie, so she hurried to explain. But
Brian would not give her a chance.
“Security, what are you doing? Get her out of here.”
Brian gave orders angrily. At this time, the security hurried to Zoe and drove her out.
“Brian, you misunderstand... Brian, let me explain.”
Zoe's struggling voice was getting farther and farther away, but Brian showed no intention of leaving.
He thundered out orders.
“The security who are negligent will be dismissed immediately. All the people present standing and
watching regardless of the image of the company will be deducted a month's salary. If you have any
objection, you should not complain but resign directly.
Hearing that, everyone was dumbfounded, panic. They did not expect to lose a month's salary due to a
momentary curiosity.
However, Brian’s anger did not end there. He went on speaking loudly.
“I broke up with Director Chambers, but if you look at her in the wrong way, you can go home. We're
done, but she's indispensable to the company, and if any of you have the ability to do a better job than
she did, you can stand up and denigrate her.”
“And most important of all, she is the biological mother of my two kids. One day my kids will inherit this
company. Who of you has the guts to challenge my kids by humiliating and pressuring her?”
Brian roared loudly, stared at all the people and then left pulling Winnie's hand.
When Winnie came back to herself, she had been in the president's exclusive elevator, and the
elevator had gone up.
Winnie pulled back her hand.
“It's my fault for bringing chaos to the company. You'd better fire me before this kind of thing happens
again.”
Winnie took the initiative to dismiss herself, she wanted to leave the company with this excuse.
However, it aroused Brian's wrath even more.
“Are you stupid to just stand there and not argue when she said that? You just like to embarrass
yourself in front of all those people, don't you?”
The reason for Brian's resentment was Zoe being vexatious, if Zoe went against others, he might have
left.
But it was Winnie got scolded, he could not ignore her. Looking at her being scolded, Brian wanted to
move her mouth and teach her to scold back.
Winnie looked at Brian so intently. She did not understand the heart of Brian, did not understand what
he said these mean.
“Take me for a fool.”
Winnie was willing to be a fool not just for today, she did not care once more.
“You...”
Brian could not continue. What should he say with a fool?
The elevator soon arrived at the president's office. Winnie stepped out of the elevator and strode
forward to leave the person who was likely to suffocate her as fast as possible.
However, her wrist was pulled by Brian again.
“You should explain what just happened.”
Brian's voice was still cold, but much better than that when he was in the elevator.
“There's nothing to explain. What you see is what it is.”
Explain what? She had already taken all the blame.
“Winnie, what do you want? Why didn't you explain anything?”
Winnie’s rebellious attitude made Brian think of that she did not explain about many things. She made
some misunderstanding become a fact and made their relationship end so quickly.
Winnie shook off the hand of h Brian, and then sarcastically looked at him.
“Explain? Are you asking me why I didn't explain?”
“Have you ever given me a chance to explain important things and things that need explaining? I am
not the one who has to explain.”
Winnie was angry. She hated most that things were over, but he still asked for explanation. He clearly
saw how she was scolded, but he let her explain. Was she so easy to be bullied because she had no
parents on her back?
Winnie took a look at Brian with resentment and then turned to leave.
They were done. Why this nightmare was still happening? What did she do? Why she should explain?
Zoe was kicked out of the Bennet Group, humiliated and pissed off. When she got home, she couldn't
wait to talk to her daughter.
“Brian must have a problem. He has broken up with Winnie, but he still protects her. The Bennet Group
got all those people looking at him yelling at me and having me thrown out. Do you think...”
“You went to make a scene?”
Wendy asked in surprise.
At the beginning, she did not realize the seriousness of the matter. She did not chase out to stop her
mother, because she wanted her mother to be refused and her mother would not ask breaking up fees
again.
She remembered what she'd learned last time and would not cause any more trouble. But what she
said had caused troubles and provoked Winnie.
Zoe did not admit nor deny, but felt guilty.
“Mom, did you provoke Winnie again? Why do you bother her, she has nothing to do with you.”
“Tell me all about it.”
Without her mother's admission, looking at her silence, Wendy knew she must have screwed things up.
“I didn't mean anything against her. They stopped me from going in...”
Zoe told the story, understating her fault and magnifying others’ fault.
“It is normal for Brian to be away on a business trip. Even if others cheat you, it has nothing to do with
Winnie, why you provoked her?”
Hearing that her mother said, Wendy was sure that her mother had made a trouble. Rely on her past
relationship with Brian, her mother thought she had free access to the Bennet Group.
Wendy needed to have appointment first before he met Brian, she did not have any privilege, why her
mother came to him directly?
Zoe had chagrin, but she defensed for herself.
“I remembered how humiliating we were the last time and wanted to get my pride back.”
“Have you got it back? Have you forgotten she still has something on me?”
Wendy asked a sharp question. Since Winnie knew her secret, she did not dare to provoke Winnie.
“Who knew that Brian would still protect her after breaking up with her? If I knew, I would not have
provoked her.”
Even if Zoe realized her mistake, she really did not expect that Brian would suddenly come back. And
at that time she forgot Winnie had Penny’s secret
“They said Brian was away on a business trip and there were a lot of people watching. I thought I'd
scolded her and show them all...”
Wendy didn't want to listen to her mother.
“Mom, these are your real thoughts. Winnie did not provoke you, it is you caused the trouble. What
happened? Who was humiliated?”
“How many times have I told you, even if Brian is separated from her, she is the mother of two kids?
For the sake of the kids, can Brian ignore her and watch her being bullied by others?”
Wendy was unable to face the recent things. Even if she could not get back to Brian, it could end like
this. They could not a couple, but at least they could be friends. If she encountered difficulties in the
future, he would not sit idly by as a friend.
Zoe finally stopped talking and defending herself. She realized that she had screwed up and she would
not get the money.
“Well, what can we do? It's all happened. Try to fix it. And money...”
“Mom, you still think about money? You screwed up things, how can I ask him for money? You cut off
the money because you are reckless.”
Wendy didn't even know how to solve the matter, how could she still think about the
money?
“Who knew that Brian would still protect her after breaking up with her? If | knew, | would not have
provoked her.”
Even if Zoe realized her mistake, she really did not expect that Brian would suddenly come back. And
at that time she forgot Winnie had Penny’s secret
“They said Brian was away on a business trip and there were a lot of people watching. | thought I'd

“Mom, these are your real thoughts. Winnie did not provoke you, it is you caused the trouble. What
