Penny finally came back home, which she and Brian had. Although things had changed, there was a
feeling of home here.
It was the warmest and most practical one she had ever remembered. Even if she really suffered from
cancer, she still wanted to die here.
“Oscar, you live here with me, alas... I wish I hadn't caused you any trouble.”
Klara said sadly, as if she was really a cancer patient could not see hope.
“Don't talk nonsense. You should be positive. And I don’t feel trouble in taking care of you. It would be
my pleasure.”
Oscar said lightly, sounding pleasant.
In fact, he was not happy, but in front of Penny, his depression certainly would affect Penny's mood. If
she wanted to stay in a good mood and live longer, Oscar could only be more optimistic than Penny.
“You are only one making me happy. Okay, I'll be positive as you say. Every day I live is a day I earn.”
Penny did not want to let her lies hurt Oscar, but she had to occasionally pretend to be sick.
“You are right. You are the best and will overcome this disease.”
“By the way, you're not well, and I can't be with you 24 hours a day. I hired a nanny to cook and clean
for us. She can take care of you while I'm at work. You just need to stay home and get recovered.”
Oscar arranged everything, so that Penny did not have to worry about such trifles.
“It sounds so happy. I feel loved by my husband.”
Penny said, at the same time she felt bitter. If she did not suffer from cancer, she would have no such
treatment to be spoiled.
“If it weren't for me, we would be married now. You would be the happiest woman in the world, and I
would be the man who loves his wife the most.”
Oscar said jokingly, but it was true. At that time, Penny liked him very much, but he had his own
problems and could not be with Penny.
If he had no problem accepting Penny, maybe Penny would not be like this now.
“So you'll have to take care of me now to make it up to me.”
Penny's heart became more and more bitter, but her face still wore a smile.
The past was the past. No matter how it was, it could not change. All she could do now was to face the
reality.
The next day Wendy came to the Bennet Group to find Brian to apologize. In the office, she felt
embarrassed to face Brian.
“You want to see me?”
Before Wendy spoke, Brian asked.
“It is... Yes... Actually, I came here today to apologize for my mother.”
Wendy paused several times before finishing. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed to face
Brian.
Hearing that, Brian sighed, thinking of Zoe was unruly and Winnie suffered injustice. But the way
Wendy looked showed that she had nothing to do with it.
But there were some words he had to say for Winnie.
“Your mother was a bit out of line yesterday. She was told that I was on a business trip and she still
made a scene in the hall. I don't know what she wants.”
“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I agree she was out of line and I apologize for her.”
Wendy stood up, and then bowed to Brian sincerely.
However, this apology let Brian could not continue to blame.
“What does your mother want with me?”
Brian asked coldly.
“In fact, it is all my fault, I did not stop her.”
It was hard for Wendy to say, but she had to. Before she came, her mother told her she must try to get
some money for breaking up.
Brian had given her 100 million, but she did not tell her mother. She did not want her mother to know it,
once she knew it, she would be at the mercy of all obstacles.
However, if she could not have money back, her mother would not stop nagging her and might even
bother her.
Wendy had no better way, and could only tell the truth. And the result depended on Brian's attitude.
“Mom and I had a fight at home yesterday, and she scolded me for breaking up with you and not
getting any money. In a fit of rage, she came to ask you to break up money.”
Wendy explained what happened yesterday.
“Don't misunderstand me, Brian, this is not my opinion. You've already given me a hundred million yuan
and a house. I won't ask you for a break up fee.”
“Your mother doesn't know I gave you money?”
Brian frowned and asked Wendy.
One hundred million plus a villa of more than ten million, the break up fee was already sky-high, why
Wendy's mother was not satisfied?
“Alas...... She doesn't know. I didn't tell her.”
“In fact, it is my fault. My deliberate concealment caused my mother's imbalance. After all these years
of you supporting me, I'm used to being a big spender. If my mother finds out about the money, she will
control me and take the money. And it would be hard for me to ask her for money.”
Wendy tried her best and she could not control Brian’s thought. However, even if Brian ignored this and
stopped giving her money, she understood. If she got no a penny, she would give half of her 100 million
to her money and said it was from Brian.
At this time, Brian didn't know whether to blame himself or get angry. He had created good conditions
for Wendy so that not she did not adapt to it after losing him.
And he was angry that Wendy had such a vulgar mother. She regarded money more important than her
daughter's happiness.
Brian took another deep breath, then stood up and walked over to Wendy.
“I'll give you another 50 million to your mother so she won't come here again. If she comes back again,
I will take back this 50 million.”
“As for your 100 million, keep it for yourself and don't let your mother know.”
It was the only thing he could do for Wendy.
“Brian...”
Wendy was shocked, did not expect that Brian would really give her money. She didn't expect him to
forgive her mother's mistake yesterday.
“Brian, I can't take this money. I can't face you anymore.”
Brian’s words made her ashamed.
“The money is for your mother, and you needn't worry about it. I will transfer it to your mother's account,
after that, she is not allowed to step into the Bennet Group or to disturb Winnie.”
Brian bought peace with money. If the money did not meet Zoe’s requirement, she might bother Winnie
even if she dare not come to the Bennet Group again.
50 million for Winnie's peace was worth it.
Wendy walked out of the Bennet Group despondently.
Thinking about Brian's words and his cold face, Wendy understood Brian was after all unreachable.
Warning her mother not to come to the Bennet Group and not to disturb Winnie, in fact, it was a remind
to her that she should not do struggle in vain.
When Wendy came home, she heard her mother shouting excitedly.
“50 million, Wendy, my account just got 50 million. Was it from Brian?
Zoe could not control her excitement. She knew that Brian would give Wendy break up fees that
Wendy would make a hit. This showed that Brian still had affection to Wendy.
Yes, it was from Brian. 50 million, you're satisfied?”
Wendy felt that she was telling these stories with great shame. She asked Brian for money again and
again, ruining her dignity, as well as all their memories.
Brian gave her money and destroyed her dignity. From now on, they had nothing to do with other.
“What do you mean I'm satisfied? I'm doing this for you, aren't I?”
Zoe said she didn't want it, but her smile betrayed her heart.
50 million, plus the house. His family probably would not be able to make that much money in two
lifetimes. Wendy stayed with Brian for so many years, she was not in vain, at least she got money for
compensation, which was comfort to her heart.
“After you have the money, you cannot step into the Bennet Group and cannot bother Winnie again. If
you don't keep your promise, he'll take the money back, the house back, and he'll kick me and Dad out
of the company.”
Wendy added, so as to completely coerce her mother. She was afraid that her mother would push her
luck and go on asking for money.
“Do you think I'm stupid? I am satisfied with the money. Brian has many women around him. I wish you
stay away from him. Give up on him and don’t try it again.
Without warning from Brian, Zoe knew what to do. She knew clearly that Wendy had not a higher
status as Winnie. How could she fight for favor?
Wendy should keep distance with Brian. Now that she'd got the money, she would not do anything.
“Mom, I'm in control of my affairs. Leave me alone. You just have to behave well.”
Wendy said and walked out.
“Stop. How can I leave you alone? You've been on the wrong track, you know that? If you had listened
to me, how could there be such a mess today? You and Brian would have been married long ago.”
Unconvinced, Zoe said to Wendy. She had thought of any possibilities ahead of Wendy, but Wendy
didn't do it according to what she said.
“Now that you've been dumped and given your chance to someone else, you resent me. If I hadn't
forced you to ask for the money, Brian wouldn't have given...”
Wendy still left in a while. She really did not want her mother to put the past things repeatedly.
Wendy's heart was in a mess, and she could not listen to any of her mother's reminders. She was
confused and did not know how to go. Now she was like a lost child at a crossroad, no direction was
clear to her.
Winnie, Gloria, who could she surpass? Who she could replace? Her repeated requests for money had
blocked all the possibilities.
