After coming out of the company, Jack settled a private matter and went home before dinner.
Since he was transferred back suddenly, he didn't tell his family, so the whole family looked at him in
surprise when he appeared in the living room.
"Son, you're back."
Maria came to her son happily.
"Yes."
Brian replied with a smile that he didn't expect his family to be so surprised. Then Thomas questioned
him.
"Why do you come back? Do you get into troubles?"
Thomas thought so, otherwise he would not have such an attitude.
"No, I was transferred back."
Jack was not satisfied with his father's questioning. His father always did not trust him, which made him
very disappointed.
"The head office transferred you back?"
Thomas did not seem to believe it.
"Yes, you can ask Brother, he transferred me back."
Brian was impatient. He was always unreliable, but he was an honest boy and never told a lie. Even so,
his father would ask him several times.
“Brian transferred you back?”
Felix opened his mouth.
He was very surprised at Jack's sudden appearance and his words.
"Yes, Grandpa, you don't believe me? I came back directly to the company to report to Brother."
"Brother gave me two days off and I will go back to work in two days."
Brian explained it in detail.
It was unusual, but he didn't think much of it. He was good at doing what he was told, because it was
always easier than using his head.
With this explanation, Felix understood what was going on. He did not ask any more questions, but
frowned and looked slightly nervous.
Not much soon Brian, Rufus, Stella and Joshua had arrived.
"Haven't Luke and Megan come?"
Felix could not help asking when he did not find the two kids.
"They are at home having class."
Brian gave a short answer. The kids did have classes, but the time could be changed. They did not
want to go to the old house, so they took it as an excuse.
Felix did not ask again, but merely sighed.
He knew that the kids were outwardly communicating with him, but in their hearts they still resisted and
resented him.
"Oh, Brian, you transferred Jack back, will you not allow him to go out again?"
Thomas did not wait patiently but asked Brian. He wanted to determine what kind of mentality Brian
had and what his purpose was.
"It depends on his performance. If he get sort of scandal that could damage the Bennet Group’s
reputation, he can't stay in the head office."
Brian answered Thomas and warned Jack again.
The root cause of the last sudden transfer was that Jack got into a scandal with a female colleague of
the company, and Brian transferred him away out in anger.
"Don't worry, I will discipline him strictly."
Thomas could only say that.
"Brian, what position do you give Jack this time? What department do you plan to place him in?"
Thomas continued to ask.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it at work."
Brian didn't tell him, because he hated nothing more than discussing business at home. Uncle Thomas
had no pure purpose, so he did not want to say a word.
"It doesn't matter what position you put him in, as long as it fits his characteristics, makes him play
better, and matches his status."
Thomas reminded Brian not to give Jack a low position, or it was not in line with his position as a
Bennet.
"Uncle Thomas, your requirements are really not much."
How could Brian not understand the hint of Thomas, but no matter what he said, Brian must do
according to his plan.
"Now, don't talk about work. It's so boring to talk about work."
Stella interrupted, it was not suitable to talk about business and the company.
If she let them talk any more, it would have an unhappy ending. They might have not a good dinner.
"Grandpa, when are we going to eat? I'm hungry."
Stella asked her grandfather, but Felix was not in a good mood.
"Ask Maria to urge the chef, so that we have a meal as soon as possible."
He answered, but it was clear that something was bothering Felix.
After dinner, Felix asked Brian to his study.
"Did you call Jack back?"
Asked Felix sharply.
Jack could come back, but he was wary about Brian's purpose.
"Yes."
He gave a short and forceful answer.
"What is your purpose?"
Felix continued and was unable to control his temper. He wanted to lose his temper but he felt it was
not necessary.
"I want to train him. I will quit when he can stand on his own."
Brian did not hide the fact. He did not tell the truth to Thomas, but he had to tell his grandp. He wanted
to show his grandpa how determined he was.
"You..."
"Grandpa, this is as far as I can go. I did my best not to leave the Bennet Group behind."
Brian did not give his grandpa a chance to speak, he did so with a clear conscience.
For the Bennet Group, for his grandpa, he felt sorry for Winnie. Now he had to compensate Winnie and
could not wait any longer.
After that, Brian left the study directly.
Sitting alone in his study, Felix knew he had lost any chance. All his wishes came to an end and he
could no longer control Brian.
But he did not concede, he would never regress to accept Winnie. He was at his wit's end, but he could
still be silent.
He would just wait in silence waiting for a turning point.
Stella and Joshua were on their way home.
"Is there something wrong with dad being so glum all the time?"
Joshua asked Stella. He noticed nothing else but his father-in-law's mood.
He knew the reason his father-in-law was unhappy, but he could not ask directly, or Stella would resist.
"Well...... It should be about Isobel. If he goes on like this, he'll make himself very ill."
Stella had also noticed her father's mood. He was always depressed.
"When you get old, some things really can't be put off. Stella, you still can’t let it go?"
Joshua knew that the problem was in Stella and Brian, as long as they were not resentful, his father-in-
law's mood would be better.
"I... Even if I let it go, it won't help. Brian has to let go, and it matters."
Stella did not know how to answer the question, so she pushed the problem to Brian.
"Stella, we are talking about you. Don't worry about whether Brian can accept it or not. You are an elder
sister, and you should set an example."
Stella wanted to avoid the issue, but Joshua let her face the problem.
If Stella accepted, Brian would gradually let it go. And Winnie could solve the problem of Brian, Stella
did not have to worry about it.
"I... Alas......"
She could only sign.
"Well, it's hard for me to forget the past, after all my mother died. But I feel sorry for dad now. To tell the
truth, honey, I don't know what to do now."
Stella spoke out her mood. She really did not know what to do now.
"Stella, Mom's dead, which means you don't have a chance. But Dad's still alive, but he's getting older."
“Think about it, what did you and Brian do for him? Have you considered how he managed to survive
all these years and why he remained single for so many years?"
“He has done everything for you and Brian, but you have never taken his place.”
Joshua tried to persuade Stella. He did not want his father-in-law to be negative, Stella to be worried.
When a family had a problem, they should find a way to solve it, so that they could eat and chat
happily.
In the reunion dinner just now, each had their own worries.
Joshua continued seeing that Stella was silent.
"You should know that Dad has not only wronged you and Brian, but also Isobel. He has been making it
up for you so many years. Do you think he does not have to make it up for Isobel?"
"What did Isobel do wrong to be hated by you?"
Joshua forced Stella to think more, don't just think about herself and Brian. Everyone was a victim.
"Don't be angry at my words. In fact, you and Brian are selfish. You only think about how difficult it is for
yourself. You never consider your father, let alone Isobel."
Joshua could not help speaking out.
Stella was surprised by such a word.
Was she selfish? Hadn’t she thought about how other people felt?
She asked herself, but the answer was yes.
Over the years, she and Brian had stressed how miserable they were, how hard they were, and how
painful they were. But they did not think about their father's difficulty, did not stand in their father's point
of view to see the whole thing.
They hated Isobel, so it was more impossible to stand in her position.
By being asked, Stella realized that his father and Isobel had a hard time.
At this thought, she felt better and admitted that she and Brian were selfish. But who could understand
her mother?
"Honey, I'm scared. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to honor my father. I'm afraid I'll regret it."
This was one of Stella's recent thoughts. She was suddenly frightened when she learned her father
was ill. It was also at that moment that she realized that her father was old and would leave them one
day.
