Albert thought Brian were complimenting and praising Winnie.
"Director Chambers is a talented woman. I haven't seen her make any mistakes before, nor have she
forgotten what she has learned."
"Mr. Bennet, if Director Chambers also has a good background, the chairman will definitely like her."
Albert said accidentally, and had no other meaning.
However, such a sentence made Brian sad.
"It doesn't matter who likes her now. She has done things that shouldn't do. I can never forgive her."
"Mr. Bennet, actually..."
Albert almost told Brian the truth. If it weren't for Winnie's pleading, the facts had been revealed.
"What do you want to say?"
Brian asked seriously.
"Nothing. Actually, I want to say that it is hard for Director Chambers. Even if she has an affair with
another man, she is helpless and is forced."
Albert saw the interrogative look in Brian's eyes, knowing that he had to give him an explanation.
But what to explain? He couldn't tell Brian the truth. What could he say?
"What do you mean by this? How do you know she was forced?"
Brian's doubts grew more and more. Albert seemed to be hiding something, deliberately concealing
something.
"I……"
Albert stuttered in front of Brian. Once he stuttered, it proved that he was hiding something.
"I heard Director Chambers say that since you were together, the chairman has called her many times.
The chairman asked her to leave you, and ask her not to affect your future. Sometimes, he threatened
her, sometimes he warned her. And he also insulted her many times. Faced with such pressure, it is
not easy for Director Chambers to endure until now."
Albert could only find one thing that would convince Brian, or else he had to tell the truth.
"Why didn't you tell me before? Winnie didn't tell me, nor did you. How much wrong did she suffer from
Grandpa?"
Brian was suddenly angry. He knew his grandpa and knew that he would deal with Winnie by all
means, not to mention insults.
"I...I know these things not long after. Director Chambers told me that she wouldn't let me tell you for
fear of affecting your relationship with the chairman."
Albert knew that Brian would be angry, but he had no way out. Looking at Winnie's pitiful and innocent
look, he couldn't bear to let her continue to be hurt.
"This silly woman, why didn't she say anything?"
Brian was very resentful, but also felt distressed.
He didn't know how Winnie endured it, how much pressure she endured, or how she resolved the
pressure alone. She didn't even reveal anything. Brian wondered how persevering she was.
The most important thing was that Winnie had suffered so much, but she was still thinking about him.
Brian didn't even know it, and didn't know that this woman was for his own good.
Seeing Winnie, who had suffered so much, was still optimistic and positive about her work, and still
able to volunteer with a smile, Brian didn't know what to do.
She was just a woman. She was so thin but so strong, and she had endured the pain that a man
couldn't bear.
After being with Winnie for so long, he didn't realize that how hard Winnie was, and he didn't know what
she had suffered.
Now think about it, he really pushed Winnie to others, because he did not do what a man should do,
and did not do well to guard her.
In the evening, when the sun set, Winnie and Emily went to the trail behind the village to enjoy the
beautiful scenery after dinner, listen to the best bird calls, and breathe the cleanest air.
"This is a paradise. I never thought there would be a place like this. I like it so much. When I don't have
to work, I will come here to live and live the most ordinary life."
Winnie couldn't help sighing as she watched the beautiful sunset in the distance.
"It's very good here, but I don't know if we, who are used to the hustle and bustle of the city, can adapt
to it."
Emily raised a very realistic question. She didn't know if Winnie could adapt to life here, but she should
not be able to adapt.
"There is nothing you can't adapt. When your body and mind are traumatized, you will need such a
place to purify your soul to heal your pain."
"When you pain is eased, and you will be used to everything here."
"Look, everything will be there if the car can drive in. Why can't we adapt to the life here?"
Winnie was emotional, because she was the woman who was traumatized both physically and
mentally, and the woman who needed to purify the soul.
It was just that she had too many tasks to complete now, and she as not qualified to hide. Even if she
was hurt, she had to go forward courageously. But she thought that as long as she didn't die on the
battlefield, she would come here to enjoy the comfort.
"Oh... you are trapped by love and forced yourself to adapt. It is inconvenient to take a bath here, and
the internet is inconvenient. You see, it is so difficult for those children to have a video call with their
parents, and the car can barely get in, but you can see that the road is very muddy."
It was not that Emily couldn't accept such an environment, it was that she didn't suffer the deep like
Winnie, and wasn't in such a peace mood as Winnie.
"The road can be repaired, the network can be installed, and taking a bath is not a problem. As long as
you work hard, there is nothing you can't do."
It seemed that everything was not difficult for Winnie. She designed two more soft-wares and these
would be solved.
"I envy your optimism. For you, any obstacle..."
Emily was envious of Winnie. When she turned her head inadvertently, she found that Brian and Albert
were behind them. Brian appeared suddenly, which scared Emily.
"Mr. Bennet, what are you playing, do you want to scare me to death?"
Emily patted her chest and complained, and also attracted Winnie's attention.
Winnie looked back and happened to meet Brian's eyes.
There was an inexplicable emotion in Brian's eyes, anger, compassion, and distress. Well, how could
he feel distressed.
"Mr. Bennet."
Winnie greeted him seriously, then stood up.
If Brian appeared in front of her suddenly before, she would laugh immediately and feel extremely
happy. However, now she had to bury all her emotions deeply in her heart, and say hello to him
respectfully.
"Let's have a talk."
Brian spoke, his voice not so cold but still serious.
"Then I'll go back first. Please send Winnie back safely, Mr. Bennet."
Brian's meaning was too obvious. He just wanted to talk to Winnie alone. Emily knew it, so she took
Albert away.
"What can we talk about?"
Winnie was still standing there, ready to leave at anytime.
"Sit down, we won't argue today."
Winnie might have nothing to say, but Brian wanted to. They had to make everything clear.
Winnie thought for a while and then sat in the original position, and Brian sat down too.
They looked at the picturesque scenery in the distance, but they didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"My grandpa used to find you often, didn't he?"
Brian wanted to comfort Winnie for this. Although it was too late to mention it at this time, he couldn't
pretend to be ignorant.
"Did Albert tell you? What else did he say?"
Winnie asked nervously, and suddenly guessed that Albert told Brian about it. However, Winnie was
more worried that Albert would tell the truth.
"He just said that my grandpa often bothered you. He also said some bad words, threatening you and
warning you, and making things difficult for you."
Brian couldn't ignore this matter. He only blamed himself for knowing it too late and couldn't comfort
Winnie in time.
"Nothing, it's all in the past."
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief, and then downplayed her painful experience.
"Winnie, I'm sorry. I just learned about this. If I knew before, I wouldn't let you see my grandpa."
"He's getting older, so don't take his words seriously. If you feel wronged, you can scold me and vent
your anger on me."
Even if Brian apologized, he felt guilty. Although Winnie cheated on him, he did not protect Winnie well.
He didn't even know that she had been wronged or threatened. Such a boyfriend should be
abandoned.
"It's all over. I am not angry about it now."
Winnie answered faintly, then leaned on her lap and turned her head to the side that Brian couldn't see.
She didn't want Brian to know that she wanted to cry because his simple words.
She didn't feel much wronged before, but when Brian said that, she felt that what she had suffered was
indeed unfair.
"Winnie, grandpa..."
"It's really okay, everything is over."
"He did say too much to me before, but fortunately, he also recognized the many things I did. The
relationship between me and the chairman of the board of directors has eased a lot from the
irreconcilable conflict at the beginning to the calm discussion later."
"He also showed me some things. Although he didn't care me, he also taught me a lot. I don't blame
him."
Speaking of this, Winnie wiped her tears with her hand, then raised her head to look into the distance.
"Don't blame him. He has his position and thoughts. The most important thing is that after breaking up
with you, we became friends. He occasionally went to my house and asked me to cook for him, like
child."
Winnie couldn't help but laugh when thinking Felix begged her to cook. Although the process was
difficult, the ending was bitter, but everything had a good future.
Winnie said so much, Brian listened carefully, and he didn't even miss a punctuation mark.
Winnie would not hate anyone, and would not take hatred in her heart. If others treated her well, she
would repay with great enthusiasm. She was such a simple woman with no scheming. She was a
forgiving woman.
However, he lost her.
"Maybe we wouldn't be where we are today without my grandpa."
Winnie didn't know whether Brian was regretful or make a summary. In short, Brian felt that everything
couldn't be saved.
However, Winnie had heard this statement many times, and like the previous few times, she still
couldn't agree with it.
"Without the chairman, there are also Wendy and Penny. What's more, Gloria is also there. Don't
blame anyone."
