Brian’s sincere attitude showed that he value his kids, but the two kids did not accept his apology.
"Dad, don't apologize to us. We have no right to interfere in your adult affairs, as long as you take my
sister and me into consideration before making your decision."
Luke said with dissatisfaction. He knew that it was angry, but he now could not accept her parents
being apart.
Open-minded on the lips, but he was sad. It was especially cruel for kids like him and Megan, who
were always looking for a father or mother.
"Mom and Dad have always put your feelings first, and we've given it a lot of thought..."
"Dad, for me and Megan, a father's love or a mother's love or a complete family has been luxury since
we were little. If you had put yourself in our shoes, we wouldn't have had this result."
Luke did not want to listen to his father's explanation. He felt that all the explanations were excuse for
their behavior.
"Dad, maybe I'm being selfish. But your breakup with mom was even more selfish than I am."
"Megan and I don't accept it, but we understand. You need your happiness, without me and Megan. So
from now on don't explain to me, don't apologize to me. Megan and I will fight for our happiness."
After that, Luke got up and took Megan upstairs, their back made Brian want to cry.
Luke was a child with ideas and opinions. What he said was true.
Megan did not say a word, but Brian saw her tears when Luke took her away. Her tears filled his heart
like salt water and stung his whole heart.
Rufus who had been silent was afflictive and his eyes even grew red.
Although the kids were small, their analysis was more profound than that of adults. Kids knew
everything, and they could handle that mom and dad broke up. But there was nothing they could do
about it, and the pain of watching happiness disappear would accept their life.
Shortly after Brian finished talking to his kids, he received a message from the bodyguard. He learned
that Winnie was safe and she had gone to the police station.
The next morning to go to work, the first thing Brian asked was had Winnie come to work. However, it
was 9:30 and she still hadn't arrived.
Brian was unavoidably worried and asked Alice.
"Director Chambers is on leave and will arrive later."
"Did you call to ask when exactly?"
Brian became angry because he was worried.
"Her phone turned off and I couldn't get through."
Alice answered truthfully.
It worried Brian. He called the bodyguards after he let Alice out. It was later said that Winnie had not
left the police station.
Brian was so upset that he dropped work and drove to the police station.
He could not drive into the police station, more could not rashly go to the police station to find Winnie.
Brian was out in the parking lot. Sitting in the car, he paid attention to see whether Winnie was out.
Brian did not wait too long in the car, and found Winnie’s car driving toward outside. He got out of the
car immediately, but stopped there just in time.
It seemed that he was not suitable to ask what was going on, so he could watched it silently.
Soon Winnie's car passed by him and he clearly saw the situation in the car.
Winnie was driving, with Officer Lee in the passenger seat. Both of them were talking and laughing and
seemed happy and didn't need anyone to care.
Seeing this scene, Brian showed a black face. Winnie had a lot of people to guard her, he needn't
worry about her.
Winnie and Officer Lee stayed up all day and night to lock the suspect. Those who could commit
crimes on the network were masters, and it was difficult to deal with them.
Winnie took Officer Lee home and then she returned to her own home. When she returned home, she
recalled seeing Brian in the general security bureau.
She did not know whether it was a coincidence, or whether Brian was suspicious of her. It was possible
that Brian had been sending people to follow her to see how close she and Stefan were.
But seeing her with Officer Lee would make him think she was having an improper relationship with
Officer Lee?
Well, no matter what he thought and did, she hoped he would disturb her life, not to explore some
questionable things.
It might not be good for him to know the answer.
She wanted to sleep at home and went to work at noon, but Alice called and asked her to go to work.
Hungry and sleepy, Winnie could only go to work.
As she arrived, she was called by Brian to his office.
"Mr. Bennet, is there something wrong at work?"
Winnie didn’t know the reason, only to know that Alice told her Mr. Bennet was in a bad mood.
"Don't you know what's wrong? This is a company, not a wet market, not a place to come and go as
you want."
Brian was really in a bad mood and rebuked her in an angry voice. He stared at Winnie angrily, thinking
what he saw outside the police station.
Brian said so, Winnie knew why he was angry.
"Mr. Bennet, I asked for leave this morning. I don't treat work like a wet market."
"Is that a reason? Do you know how much time off you've been taking lately? The company has its
rules and regulations. Why would you break the company's management system? Who do you think
you are, who gives you the right to ask for leave whenever you want?"
Brian got more angry because of Winnie’s explanation. He did not want to hear that but why she went
to the police station and why she was always with Officer Lee.
Winnie was not his woman and she had nothing to do with him. He knew that he should not care about
it, but as long as it was related to Winnie, he could not calm down and could not be rational to think.
He hated himself like that, and it would only cause greater harm to Winnie. But he could not control
himself and burst into anger.
"Mr. Bennet, if I remember correctly, I don't take your salary. I am not your employee. It was wrong of
me to ask for leave, but I didn't affect our cooperation."
Winnie retorted, in the warning of Brian that her asking for leave had nothing to do with his company.
Winnie knew that it was inappropriate that she often asked for leave, but in the face of Brian’s rebuke,
she was not convinced.
"Now you are in my company, you will follow my management system."
Brian's anger burned to the limit. Winnie was meaning that he was unreasonable and that he should
not meddle in her affairs.
Indeed, he admitted that it was out of his business. But he had no other excuse to ask Winnie to come,
because her work was impeccable and perfect.
She had been avoiding him these days, and he could not bear that he could not see her all the time. He
hated her and could not forgive her betrayal, but he could stand not seeing her.
She was the woman he loved, without her, his life had no color and his world was gloomy.
He could not get over, and he felt guilty, such a feeling that can torture a man to death.
Winnie has determined that Brian was vexatious. In the contract, it did not say she must be in
accordance with the management system of his company. She just showed him respect by calling.
Okay, he was being unreasonable. Winnie could not connive it.
"Mr. Bennet, I will take time off again, and at irregular intervals. If you can't accept a partner like that, do
what you want."
Winnie said majestically and then turned to leave.
She did not care about the anger of Brian, she hoped that Brian could drive her out of the Brian Group,
so that she could never see Brian again.
He was a baster, who never put himself in her shoes, never believed her unconditionally.
What kind of love was this? He was a typical bastard.
Wendy broke up with him, but he forgave her again and again and helped her again and again. After
their breakup, she became his enemy. Whatever she was never pleasing to him.
Didn't she and he have feelings before?
Winnie was angry, so was Brian. In the face of Winnie's threats and provocations, he had no way out.
He could not let her leave the company. Once she left, she would not to come back, because there
were no excuses. It would be harder to get a look at her once she left.
Good, Winnie succeeded in her provocation. She could take time off anytime she wanted, and he
would not be bothering her again, for fear of her leaving.
Gloria was no longer reserved. She felt that time kept Brian waiting was just right, she thought it was
time for her to give Brian a satisfactory answer.
When she came to Brian’s office, she saw his angry face, but she didn’t care about it. What she liked
was his coldness.
"Why are you angry? Do you have a problem at work?"
Gloria showed her care in a sweet voice.
"No. What is your decision?"
Brian did not tell the reason for his anger and had nothing to talk about with Gloria. He only wanted to
know Gloria would say yes or no.
"I..."
Gloria showed hesitation for not showing that she was eager.
"I..."
At the end of the hesitation, her phone rang.
"Excuse me."
Although she was angry about that phone at this time, Gloria still took out the phone.
