The investigation was carried about by both Albert and Calvin. Calvin did not have a chance to report it
to Brian, so Albert alone reported it to Brian.
"Anything else?"
Brian calmly asked. His mood was not affected at all. He looked as if he were listening to a story.
"No. She just has a bad temper and has affairs with many men. Oh, it seems that she cheats on her
taxes. We haven't found out much about it yet. If we find evidence, Calvin will keep it."
Albert honestly answered. Gloria was a better person than Wendy. At least, she did not harm Winnie
and Luke. However, for their boss, she was still a bad person.
"After you find out the fact, keep all the evidence. It might be useful in the future."
In the past years when Brian did business, he had seen various kinds of women. Many of them
pretended to be respectable ladies, just like Gloria did. That was the reason why he hated hypocrite
and luscious women.
When they arrived, Brian ran into Andrew and Gloria.
Now, because of the cooperative relationship, Brian had to talk to Andrew.
"Mr. Bennet, do you come here alone?"
Andrew came to greet Brian with a smile, and Gloria stayed beside him.
"Mr. Bennet."
Gloria spoke to Brian in a charming voice.
Brian, who had just known what Gloria was like, found her every move and even smiles disgusting.
"Yes, I come here alone."
Brian just answered Andrew's question. He did not look at Gloria.
"How much money are you going to donate today, Mr. Bennet?"
Stella asked.
"I'm not sure yet. It depends."
Brian just gave a perfunctory answer. Because of Gloria, he even became impatient with talking to
Andrew.
"Mr. Bennet, so far, our cooperation has been very smooth. If we can get a good result, let's have more
cooperation in the future."
Finally, Andrew moved the topic to work. It was what Andrew attached most importance to.
"Of course. As long as both of our company benefit from the cooperation, we're glad to have more
cooperation with you."
Brian was interested in his work, but he was not interested in Gloria.
"I'd like to cooperate in more aspects. Now, Gloria also works in my company and can be of great help
to me. In the future, I'm going to let Gloria be in charge of all the cooperation with the Bennet Group. I'll
appreciate it if you will help her."
Andrew's intention could easily be seen. After hearing that, Brian frowned.
"There's a team that is in charge of this work, and I don't interfere with this work. And you won't need
me to help her."
Brian refused him. He was unwilling to give Gloria any chance or hope.
"Mr. Bennet..."
"Mr. Bennet, Mr. Hawkins wants to see you. He's waiting for you."
Andrew wanted to persuade Brian, but Albert came and interrupted their conversation.
"Mr. Colin, excuse me."
As saying those words coldly, Brian left with Albert and went to meet other people.
"You come at the right time. I don't want to have one more word with Andrew anymore."
Brian spoke to Albert in a low voice. Apart from Andrew, Gloria also upset him.
"I saw that you were impatient, so I came to you. Besides, Gloria had been staring at your eyes. If it
were seen by Director Chambers, you would have to explain it."
As a matter of fact, Albert's purpose was to take Brian away from Andrew and Gloria. Whether to meet
Mr. Hawkins or not was actually not important. However, Albert had used that excuse. Considering that
both Andrew and Gloria were watching them, Brian had to meet Mr. Hawkins.
"Hello, Mr. Bennet. It's really difficult to find a chance to meet you."
Before Brian got close, Mr. Hawkins, who tried to flattered Brian, greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Hawkins."
Brian's attitude towards Mr. Hawkins was much better than that towards Andrew. He had known Mr.
Hawkins for many years. As a matter of fact, before he took over the Bennet Group, he had known Mr.
Hawkins. It was just that they did not have any chance to cooperate in the past years.
"Mr. Bennet, you're really young and brilliant. Seeing that you've achieved so much at such a young
age, we old people are ashamed."
Mr. Hawkins flattered Brian. He called himself an old man, but he was actually just in his 50s. Perhaps
he was trying to make Brian's brilliance prominent by saying so.
"You're too modest. It's well known that you're very capable. When there's a chance, I'd like to
cooperate with you."
It was the first time that Brian proposed to cooperate with Mr. Hawkins. It was just a polite remark
businessmen and businesswomen would make, but Mr. Hawkins was surprised to hear it.
"If there's a chance, I'll certainly cooperate with you."
Mr. Hawkins smiled very happily, as if he had got something great.
"By the way, Mr. Bennet, how did you deal with the villa you bought in the bank before?"
As they chatted, Mr. Hawkins remembered the past.
"Villa? Which villa?"
Brian had no idea which villa Mr. Hawkins was referring to.
"You have so many fixed assets that you forget how many villas you have."
Mr. Hawkins flattered him with a smile.
"I'm talking about the villa Dominik mortgaged. At that time, I was also interested in that villa, but the
price I offered was not as high as the price you offered."
Mr. Hawkins remembered it very well because he found that Brian was much brilliant than he was at
that time. It was also because he could not understand why Brian would spend so much money on
buying that villa.
Hearing Dominik's name, Brian frowned at once.
"I didn't deal with it. I even forget it."
It was true that Brian had forgotten that villa. He had even forgotten that he had bought it. Since Mr.
Hawkins mentioned it, he must have bought that villa. It seemed that it was necessary for him to carry
out an investigation to find out what had happened.
If Mr. Hawkins hadn't mentioned that villa, Brian would not have known that he had such a villa.
Therefore, he had been thinking about that villa.
After putting an end to the conversation with Mr. Hawkins, Brian came to a quiet place with Albert.
"Do you know anything about the villa Mr. Hawkins mentioned."
Brian asked.
"No, I don't know."
It was also the first time for Albert to learn about it. If he did not know anything about it, it meant that
Brian must have bought it before Albert worked for the Bennet Group.
"The events you don't know all happened during that period of time, and I don't have a diary about what
had happened during that period of time. Albert, carry out an investigation on that villa."
Brian seriously said. During that period of time, he just lost his memory. At that time, he forgot many
things, but he did not realize that he was suffering from selective amnesia at that time.
He thought about something he remembered, and roughly figured out when he bought the villa.
However, there was still something he could not remember, such as something about this villa.
After the agonizing wait, today, they could finally know the test results of Rufus.
It was Tuesday today. Brian and Winnie went to the hospital to wait for the results of the test after they
sent their children to school.
Soon after they arrived at the hospital, Stella and Joshua also arrived. Then, Thomas came.
The atmosphere in hospital room was tense. Although they had been chatting all the time, they were all
worried and nervous.
Rufus requested that the results be revealed in his presence because he did not want to be fooled and
because he would like to master his own fate.
After waiting for a while, Kevin finally came. When Kevin excitedly pushed the door open, people inside
the room had all known the result.
"I've got the results of test of Rufus, it's a benign tumor."
"Rufus, read it yourself. It's really a benign tumor."
Kevin said while laughing. He came directly to Rufus and handed the results of test to Rufus.
Rufus took it over and looked at it very carefully. After making sure that it was a benign tumor, he finally
smiled and was relieved.
He did not speak. He just handed the results of test to Brian and Stella who were waiting beside him.
Now, Rufus took a deep breath again and again. Now, what he wanted to do most was to tell Isobel this
good news, so that she would not be worried anymore.
It seemed that he still had a chance to be with Isobel.
Brian looked at the results of test, smiling happily and silently. Stella was the most excited person. She
came to Rufus, held him into her arms, and cried.
"Dad, you'll be fine. You'll recover from illness after you receive an operation. Then, we can go home."
"I'm fine. Don't cry."
Rufus comforted Stella. In the past many days, everyone was worried about him and was nervous.
Now, everyone could be relieved.
Brian gave the results of test to Thomas; Winnie made a phone call to the people in the house in the
suburb and sent a message to Vanessa. Everyone was worried about Rufus, and she must tell
everyone this piece of good news.
"It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Stella, don't cry. Your father will live a better life in the future."
Thomas was also excited. These days, worrying that Rufus would have lung cancer, he had been
nervous. Now, he was sure that Rufus just had a benign tumor. He was finally relieved.
"Brian, Winwin, go to my office and talk about the operation. Let's fix a time for uncle's operation now,
so that uncle could receive an operation as soon as possible. In this way, uncle will be able to go
home."
Kevin was more anxious than anyone else. He wanted Rufus to receive the operation as soon as
possible.
"Brian, Winwin, go to talk about it. You can decide the day when dad will receive the operation."
Stella urged. Even if it was a benign tumor, she hoped that Rufus could receive the operation as soon
as possible.
Then, Brian and Winnie walked out of the ward with Kevin.
When they came to Kevin's office, the smile had disappeared from Kevin's face. But he did not put on
the look of frustration and despair.
"Why? Is there anything you didn't tell us?"
Winnie noticed his change of expression. She wondered if Kevin had concealed something from them.
"Yes. But don't worry. It can be settled."
"Sit down, please."
As Kevin said, he sat down.
"Tell us everything now."
Brian urged as soon as he sat down. Kevin's serious expression made him nervous again.
"Uncle does have a benign tumor, but there's a chance of progression. Besides, it's not a small tumor,
so the surface of the wound will not be small. I suggest that a lobe of his lung be removed. That's the
best way."
"There's no need for you to worry. Tonight, I'll contact my teacher and ask for his help. If there's a better
way, I'll try my best to implement it. The worst situation is that a lobe of his lung will be removed."
Kevin gave them a warning. This was the reason why he talked about it in his office in the presence of
Brian and Winwin. He did not want Rufus to be worried.
"Will it affect his daily life?"
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"It won't. It's just that he can't do energetic exercise for a long time."
From a doctor's point of view, Rufus could live a normal life after he received the operation. That was
why Kevin dared to give a guarantee.
"As long as his daily life will not be affected, then it's ok. Don't tell him that. For the time being, don't tell
it to Stella. Just perform the surgery in the way you plan. Fix the date as soon as possible."
Kevin was confident, but Brian was still worried. After all, if Rufus lost a part of his body, there would be
something he could not do.
