Klara was happy to hear that, but she knew it was not the time for her to show off.
"Jonny, I'm so relieved to hear you say that. I am lucky to meet you and I'm glad I met you at a low
point in my life."
"But again, I have children, I have both parents to support, and I am the one who will cause you
trouble. I won't blame you if you couldn't take it and leave me."
It was not the first time Klara said that, but she had to stress it. If Jonny proposed marriage to her, she
didn't want it to get in the way of them being together.
"I've thought about these things for a long time. In my country, people don't care about external
conditions. As long as two people really love each other, everything is ok. And I have the ability to raise
your children and the confidence to take care of several old people."
"Klara, don't think too much, I will take care of everything, you only need to be a happy woman."
Jonny said, which made Klara feel unreal. Instead of exploring the truth of Jonny's words, she enjoyed
the happiness he brought her.
"I'll do as you say."
"But what should we do about Wendy? If she knows I'm with you, she must hate me."
Klara did not want to mention Wendy in such a warm moment, but she had to. If Wendy knew about
her relationship with Jonny, she might not get her 10 million back.
"Don't worry, I haven't confessed her or promised her anything, and she doesn't know I like her, so it's
nothing to do with her."
Jonny comforted Klara, it was necessary to let Klara feel secure.
"But...... But I'm worried about her character. If she knows, she will be jealous of me being with you,
and there is no telling what kind of revenge she will do. At least she will not give me back my ten
million."
Klara most concerned about her own money. She deliberately mentioned it because she wanted Jonny
to guarantee that he would give her this money in case she could not get the ten million back.
"Ten million? Who owes whom?"
Jonny suddenly focused, but didn't quite understand whose the ten million was.
"She owes me. She took ten million from me."
Klara repeated and told Jonny directly that Wendy owed her money.
"Wendy is rich, why did she borrow money from you?"
Jonny understood, but could not understand why.
"It is said that she would find people abroad to thoroughly attack Winnie. She couldn't get her money
out of her mother, and she couldn't get her money from the bank, so she borrowed it from me. She said
she'd give it back soon, and she hasn't yet."
"I'm worried now that she doesn't want to pay me back."
Klara explained the reasons.
"You know why she wants to hurt Winnie, why did you lend her money?"
Jonny inadvertently asked, his mind was focus on the ten million now. He would like to know where the
ten million Wendy used, and if she gave it to him.
Was it possible that Wendy's family didn't have any money at all, and they scammed money in this
way?
So the problem came again. Why could Klara a worker have so much money?
"She didn't say anything when she borrowed the money. Then I told her it was wrong, so I asked her for
money back, but has not given me back until now."
Klara realized that she had damaged her character by speaking so, so she hurried to remedy it.
Now she could let Jonny have the slightest doubt about her, for the rest of her happiness depended on
Jonny.
"She seems to be a very bad person, but how did you get the money?"
Jonny could not help asking.
"I saved little by little, and there was the compensation when my husband died. If Wendy doesn't pay
me back, my basic livelihood will be in question for the rest of my life."
Klara said pitiful, in order to win Jonny's sympathy.
"Don't worry, Klara. Don't worry. We will try our best to get the money. If she doesn't give it back, I will
give you this money."
Jonny said generously. He knew it was time for him to show off, even if he didn't have the money.
"I can't take your money. I'll take it from Wendy."
Klara said. She was warmed by Jonny's promise, and she felt at ease because of Jonny's words.
Even if Wendy didn't pay her back, she would at least have a guarantee.
But this seemed to be two different things, if Wendy did not pay her back, and she could get Jonny's
money, she would have double.
Through the conversation, Jonny did not get the news of Winnie, but knew the existence of the ten
million. In his view, it was more important than Winnie.
Since Klara, a staff, had 10 million, how many 10 million Winnie a popular software engineer had?
The next morning, Winnie went out for a morning run as usual, but when she came back, she found
Brian holding breakfast standing at her door.
"What are you doing here? We have made everything clear. There's no point in bothering me again."
Winnie said calmly. She had been sobered by Penny’s words and she would not give Brian any
opportunity. She didn't even want to his friend.
"I still need to apologize, and I still need your forgiveness."
Brian answered in a low voice. Winnie still hated him, so he understood her emotions now.
From now on, he must work in two ways, to win Winnie's forgiveness, while starting to pursue Winnie
again.
"You've apologized so many times, I don't need it. No matter who is responsible for this matter, it is
gone, and there can be no hope between us. So it doesn't matter that I don't forgive you."
"Go back. You have your career and your life. I have something I want to pursue. We can’t intervene
with each other’s affairs.”
Winnie unlocked the door after that. She thought Brian would leave, would not entangle her. Her words
are very clear, she believed Brian could understand.
Winnie could not forgive her and did not want to forgive him. She wanted to use such hate to remind
herself at all times, wanted to use such hate to let herself keep sober, and not to have any fantasy to
Brian.
"Eat your breakfast and I'll be back."
Brian stopped Winnie to close the door, put a hand on the door. He believed Winnie would not close the
door.
"You..."
Winnie recalled the fact that Brian’s hand was clamped last time, looking at his hand on the door, so
she didn't close the door.
"Give it to me and you can go."
Winnie opened the door, but still did not want to let Brian in. The best she could do was to accept his
breakfast, not his person.
Brian saw Winnie regressed, so he gave the breakfast to her. If he made another request, Winnie didn't
even want his breakfast.
After the breakfast was given to Winnie, the door was closed. It was uncomfortable to look at the
closed door, but he was glad that it was beginning to give him hope.
It was the second day that Brian and Gloria broke up, for Brian himself, it did not have much impact,
but for the company's stock market, it received a little impact.
However, it was a small problem, Brian would not be brought down by such problems.
When he was back to the company, he called his elite team and asked Morgan to come back, to fit the
stock market turmoil.
Everyone worked in the exclusive meeting room of Brian carefully. Then Albert went out to get the
material back, as well as the message about Gloria.
"Mr. Bennet, Gloria's studio has announced that she is temporarily retiring from the modeling industry. It
seems to have taken a toll on her."
"This is a result that we anticipated when we worked together, and I think she had a plan in place. But
it's going to be a bit of a shock for her and it may take a while to cope."
"Albert, I don't want another enemy. If Gloria needs help, try to help her. It's all I can do to help."
Brian was guilty, although it was partnership, Gloria was a weak party and he did not give Gloria the
opportunity to prepare.
If he was right, it was not just Gloria's career that would be under attack, but Andrew's company as
well. Under the circumstances, it made sense for Brian to help.
Gloria had to announce her temporary retirement news, she did not expect that she would face public
opinion pressure. If she had known that there would be consequences like that, she would not have
exaggerated her relationship with Brian on various occasions, and she would not have deliberately
created the scandal with Brian in the hotel.
Now those paparazzi were targeting at her, they dare not have too many sharp words for Brian, so she
was taking it on herself.
"Uncle Thomas, I have announced my temporary retirement as you said. I will go to my father's
company to learn some professional knowledge from tomorrow, and then I will get close to Brian
again."
Gloria sat in her room and walked with Thomas on the phone.
Now the only one who could help her was Thomas, she must believe Thomas unconditionally.
"That's all we can do for the time being. You'll have to go to Penny's. Her illness won't last long, and if
you make her angry all the time, I think she will die soon. As long as she is dead, we have nothing to
worry about."
Thomas said. Brian had a resolute attitude, he did not know how to deal with it.
"Ok, I will."
“Uncle Thomas, what is going on with Brian? After breaking up with me, does he prefer Wendy or
Winnie?"
Gloria had been concerned about this matter, she wanted to know who her opponent was.
"I think it's Winnie. And I hope it's Winnie."
Thomas didn’t put the words too absolute, after all, Wendy had not given up on Brian and she might
take the opportunity to get back to him.
"Uncle Thomas, what do you mean? Why do you hope it is Winnie?"
Gloria asked with doubts.
