In order to get the remaining five million, Klara could only promise. If they were gonna settle old scores,
she would wait until she got the other five million.
"Yes, I believe you."
Wendy patted Klara's back, comforted her and comforted herself, it was temporarily over. As for the
remaining five million, it depended on Klara's performance.
Wendy kept her words and transferred five million to Klara's account in the afternoon, and Klara finally
had been relieved. Anyway, at least five million was back, which was a good start.
When Klara and Jonny ate out in the evening, she told Jonny about it. However, she did not tell him
she apologized and admitted she was wrong.
She said it was smooth and Wendy was timid.
"Let me tell you, Wendy begged me so hard not to tell Brian, she almost got down on her knees and
begged me. I am softhearted, so I promised her I wouldn't say anything and I'd give her another
chance."
Klara spoke triumphantly, as if she played perfectly. It was as if Wendy was passive throughout the
whole process.
"You are right. We can give her a chance and should not drive her into a corner."
After first praising Klara, Jonny got to the point.
"Has she paid you back?"
"Yes, five million, and she said she would pay the rest as soon as possible. Five million is fine. We can't
push too hard. Besides, I have something on her, and I'm not afraid she won't give it to me."
Five million had been made Klara happy, and she did not hide it from Jonny. From her perspective, five
million meant nothing to Jonny.
"Well, yes. Take your time, as long as she will give you back."
Jonny was distracted, now his mind was on the five million of Klara. Now that the money was back, he
deserved a lot of credit. He would find an opportunity to borrow it.
"By the way, are you going to tell Brian about this?"
Jonny needed to know what Klara thought so he could be ready. After all, once Brian knew about this,
his identity could not be concealed.
"I haven't decided yet, It depends on Wendy's attitude."
Klara could not say that Brian had known about this matter, or the lie would have been exposed.
"I have a suggestion for you. If Wendy returns the money to you, you should ignore it. After all, it's their
business, and it's not good for us to get involved. If things get bad, I will be involved, since I'm the one
who told you."
Jonny felt he could get some money, and got a chance to see Winnie by doing so.
"Yes, I'll take your advice. My money is not a big deal.. Don't let me undermine your business or trust
on you."
Klara promised readily, in fact, she was waiting for this sentence. She had nothing to threaten Wendy
now. So she would rather help Jonny.
Rufus finally got well, probably he learned that Isobel was safe. But he was still preoccupied.
He sat alone in the courtyard while the kids were taking a nap, thinking about what he should do to
make everyone feel relieved.
But it was hard because there were so many people involved.
"Dad, why are you sitting here?"
Stella appeared at this time, and Rufus took a deep breath.
"I came out for some air."
Rufus was perfunctory.
"You should take a nap at this hour."
Stella nagged. Her father just got well and Stella wanted him to pay attention to his health.
"I can't fall asleep."
Rufus exposed his mind.
Stella understood he must still be thinking about Isobel. Even if she and Brian opposed, he wanted to
insist.
Stella knew everything, but she could not mention this topic.
She sat down.
"Dad, you can leave Brian to deal with his things himself. There's nothing we can do. It's no use
worrying."
Stella said her father was worried about Brian, so his father should understand her resistance.
"It's not just about the relationship. There are so many things involved.”
Rufus knew the intentional avoidance of Stella, but she did not know these things could not be
separated at all. Brian, Winnie, Isobel and he had involved.
"Dad, the only obstacle between Brian and Winwin is grandfather, and nothing else can be involved."
"Don't think too much. Brian is so excellent that I am sure he can do well in this matter."
Stella did not understand her father's words and thought he was worried too much. She knew that
Brian’s things upset everything and that she and Brian could not get over the things about Isobel.
But if there was not a thing about Isobel, the trouble would be gone.
"Brian's affairs really need to be dealt with by himself. Others cannot help him."
Felix’s old voice was suddenly heard.
"What are you talking about?"
"Grandpa..."
"Grandpa, why didn’t you tell me you would come? I can pick you up."
Stella got up and went to Felix helped him sit down.
"You are pregnant now. I can't keep you busy. I can still move. Butler Lowe can just drive me here."
"Stella, how are you?"
Felix had been concerned about Stella, although he had not seen her for a few days, but he often
called Stella.
"I'm fine. I'm not that pretentious."
Stella had never seen herself so important, her physical quality was good. Everyone else had great
pregnancy symptoms, but she was fine. She looked fresh.
"Don't run around, be careful."
Felix's worry was reasonable. Stella should be careful during her pregnancy. If something went wrong,
trying to get pregnant again would be a problem.
"I'll be careful, Grandpa."
Stella did not explain, after all, grandpa was good for her.
"Rufus, I came to talk to you about Director Chambers. Do you know she was away on business?"
Felix got down to business.
He was home alone thinking about it. It stumped him, so he came over to talk with Rufus to see if there
was any breakthrough.
"Yes, she is in C City."
Rufus did not think there was anything to talk about. Winnie would make her own decisions.
"As far as I know, she will set up a branch in C City. If the branch is established, is she going to work in
C City?"
Rufus could act as if nothing had happened, but Felix was really nervous. He was worried Winnie
would leave and give up on Brian.
"I don't know that yet. What do you mean by that?"
Rufus was confused.
He disliked Winnie and looked forward to Winnie's departure. If Winnie really left the city, he should be
happy. Why he talked about it in a gloomy mood today?
Was he afraid that Brian would leave with Winnie?
Rufus guessed, but he was disappointed. If so, her father's attitude and stance did not waver, he was
still selfish.
"If she leaves the city, will she take the kids with her? If so, will Brian stay?"
Felix gave his answerd.
"I don’t know."
What could Rufus say? Winnie had the right to take away the kids. These things were out of their
control.
"Grandpa, it's normal for Winwin to take away the kids. After all, we've already given her custody of the
kids, and it's her right to take them wherever she wants. As for Brian, I do not think she will take him
away, for she has not yet forgiven him."
Stella said so in order not to let grandpa worry, in fact, if Brian really leave with her, Winnie could not
stop him.
"That's what I am worried about. I talked to her two days ago, and she said firmly that she could not be
with Brian. But Brian told me that once Winnie leaves, he will certainly follow her."
"I am thinking that if Director Chambers can accept Brian again, we will live together in the suburbs as
before, and I have promised Brian not to force him to marry. The result is good for everyone."
"But if Director Chambers leaves, it's a big deal."
Felix spoke out his worries, but Rufus felt his father was ambivalent.
"Dad, don't think too much about it. It's out of our control. Brian has grown up and he has his own
thoughts, and his own power of discerning things."
"Even if we force him to stay, his heart is not here and he will not work conscientiously. You get old,
there are some things you should not think about. Your body is the most important."
Rufus said. He could not control Brian or his father, he could only persuade them.
"How could I not worry? The Bennet Group has been my life's work. I'm still alive. Do you want me to
let it go down?"
It was obvious that Felix could not control his emotions. He had his reason to insist on it and he could
not just give it up.
