"Don't hang up. I don't know how to start."
Rufus opened his mouth eventually, but he did not how to say to make Isobel accept it.
"What's the matter? Come straight to the point. You've never been so indecisive."
Isobel suddenly tensed up and wondered if Winnie or Vanessa had anything wrong.
Since she knew Brian and Winnie broke up, she always missed the two kids, after all, his two kids had
no one to protect them.
"It was about the separation of Brian and Winwin. I know the reason."
Although Rufus still did not know how to say it, but he must say it, he just needed to find the right point
to start.
"The reason for the breakup? It doesn't matter why they broke up."
Isobel did not want to know, although she was worried about Winnie and Vanessa. But she supported
the breakup with Brian.
Isobel did not want to know it, but Rufus must say it. Everything had a cause and effect, and if the
cause was not clear, the effect was not clear.
"The reason for their separation was that Winwin had a room with another man, and Brian found out
about it..."
"You lie, Rufus, you accuse my kids. Winwin can't have a room with another man."
Isobel got angry. Although she did not want to know the reason, she can not accept this reason.
"Yes, I believe in Winwin, too. But At that time, Brian was so impulsive that he didn't give Winwin a
chance to explain. Based on the video, he concluded Winwin cheated on him and broke up with her in
anger."
Rufus knew Isobel would be angry, which was normal. He would have bristled if anyone had said that
about his daughter.
"Video, what video?"
Isobel angrily asked.
"A video of Winwin getting drunk and walking into a room with another man and then coming out with
him the next morning."
Brian was still adhering to his own ideas and must explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
"Isobel, please hear me out. I believe Winwin as much as you do. I believe Winwin is not this kind of
person There was another girl in the room.”
"That night Winwin got drunk, the girl and the man took care of her all night. Nothing happened
between them. It was Because Brian misunderstood Winwin that they separated."
Rufus made things clear, waiting for Isobel’s angry rebuke. But Isobel was not angry but became calm.
"You finished? Misunderstanding? What is called misunderstanding? It is that Brian does not believe
Winwin? Rufus, I don't think it's a bad thing for them to break up with such an unequal relationship."
"During their time together, you know better than anyone how Brian treated Winwin. I admit that our
family is not rich, but Brian can not hurt Winwin's self-esteem. He judged Winwin to be wrong without
even giving her a chance to explain, in his heart he had never taken Winwin seriously."
"Rufus, don't say anything. Just regard Winwin did not behave well. No need to explain, we admit it, as
long as they have nothing to do with each other."
Isobel did not give Rufus the opportunity to speak and directly hang up the phone.
She did not shout or scold, but hanging up the phone showed her firm attitude, there was no turning
point.
Rufus slowly put down the phone. Isobel was angry that she would not give them a chance to save the
situation.
Things was not so easy.Winnie did not give Brian the opportunity, Isobel did not give him the
opportunity. Originally Isobel did not agree with them together, after all this happened, she should
object to it. It was gonna be a lot harder to fix it, and it was gonna be a lot harder to get back together.
Winnie was wronged, Isobel was angry. The reason why she was not angry with Rufus because it has
nothing to do with Rufus, plus, she did not want to give them any chance.
Winnie was not given a chance to explain, and they were not given a chance to apologize now.
Isobel felt distressed about Winnie and made a call to Winnie, though she was tired.
"You are at work? Can we talk?"
Isobel asked the situation first, so as not to let Winnie embarrassed.
"I am at my office, we can talk."
Winnie just arrived at the office and had not started to work. She felt her aunt’s tone was not right over
the phone.
"You silly girl, why didn't you tell when Brian falsely accused you? Why took the blame?"
Isobel understood Winwin, but she should not take the blame.
She understood Winnnie was because she had undertaken too much helplessness and grievance for
the man she loved.
This acceptance was voluntary and cannot be persuaded.
"Aunt, do you know all about it? Did Brian call you?
Winnie thought it was Brian said to aunt, as she was about to be angry, Isobel said no.
"Does he have the nerve to call me? If he calls me, I'm going to ask him why he did that to you."
Isobel’s mood was uncontrollable, thinking of Winnie;s grievance.
"Who told you that, Rufus?"
Winnie asked. In addition to Brian, the only possibility was Rufus.
"Does it matter who told me... Yes, Rufus called me."
Isobel did not want to say at the beginning, but she was afraid that Winnie would continue to ask and
afraid that her deliberate concealment caused Winnie doubt.
"It doesn't matter who said it, and it doesn't matter what happened. Aunt, don't be angry. I didn't say
anything because I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and I didn't want Brian to know the truth. I
want to take this opportunity to completely separate myself from Brian, so I would rather be
misunderstood by him.
Winnie could only explain, and did not say how sad she was, also did not say that she was hurt due to
the distrust of Brian.
"You're right. I support you. Since it's been so long and the kids have accepted it, don't go back."
Isobel did not expect Winnie made the decision. Thus, Winnie injured more serious than she thought,
otherwise she would not take the initiative to give up.
"Winwin, although our family has no debt now, although our life is better, the gap between us and the
Bennet family can not be measured. Such a gap is a kind of pressure that is difficult to overcome. Brian
has always had a sense of superiority due to his family differences, which is why he did not trust you.”
"Don't have anything to do with him."
Although Winnie had given up Brian, Isobel reminded. She knew how hard it was to give up love, how
painful it was to give up the man she loved.
Few people could endure this kind of hardship and pain, this kind of hardship and pain would be for a
lifetime.
Isobel continued.
"Vanessa told me that she was studying hard and wanted to skip grades, so that she could shorten the
time in college and leave as soon as possible. Hold on for a year or two, and we will leave together
when Vanessa finishes her college studies. Or you can take the kids and go now, and I'll stay with
Vanessa."
Isobel was eager, afraid of change in this period of time and afraid that Winnie would change her mind.
"Aunt, don't worry, I can manage myself. I've thought about it. I'll take the kids and leave when Richard
get caught. Or I wouldn't have been able to keep them safe."
Winnie had this idea, if Brian forced her, she could only take the kids to leave. But the premise is to
ensure the safety, otherwise it would do harm to the kids.
"Ok, after Richard get caught, you take the kids away and never see Brian again."
Isobel knew the kids could not see his father for a lifetime, but she wanted to let Brian taste the pain of
missing, let him realize that losing Winwin was his biggest loss.
Winnie comforted her aunt before hanging up the phone, now everyone knew this thing, including Felix.
But it was strange that Felix Had been silent now. Was he disappointed to her because she destroyed
the marriage between Brian and Gloria, or because she could not keep her words?
It seemed that this time she needed to clarify her thoughts on the matter with Brian.
Winnie took her mobile phone and walked to the window, and made a call to Felix.
"Chairman, I don't know if you have time this evening, I would like to cook some home-cooked food for
you."
"Don't think twice about it. It's not a bribe. I just haven't seen you for a long time and want to talk to
you."
Winnie said in a relaxed tone.
She was worried now that it was a despondent roar, a cold rebuke came from Felix.
Fortunately, It didn't happen. Felix was not angry and his voice was calm.
"Well, I'm hungry, too. Butler Lowe and I will go there in the evening."
Felix had been waiting for Winnie to call him, thinking that she would explain and would get the chance
to be with Brian. But she didn't. She didn't say anything and just asked him to have dinner.
The two men made an appointment to meet that evening and the call ended.
Felix sighed and then looked at Butler Lowe beside him.
"A clever boy shows wisdom in everything he does. Winnie is so smart and talented.”
Felix had already known what Winnie would tell him.
In the past when he encountered this situation, he thought that Winnie wanted to get the opportunity to
be with Brian. But now he did not think so, he knew that Winnie called him to clarify that she did not
want to be with Brian.
Felix did not know when this change in his concept began. He only knew Winnie's words and deeds
were right and he had no reason not to believe her.
"Chairman, I think one of the most important characteristics of Director Chambers is kindness. If she
does not have a kind and tolerant heart, I am afraid that Brian has become a mess."
"She knew Wendy caused this, but she didn't bother Wendy. I think she did not want to make trouble
for Brian."
