"I don't know, if I did, I would have found the buyer already."
"I'm not sure when the auction is on, so you can inquire it."
That was all Romeo knew, and he could only ask Winnie to inquire about it, fearing that she would miss
the auction with his limited abilities.
"Okay, I know, I'll take care of the rest myself. Thank you so much, I'll treat you to tea sometime."
Winnie felt indebted and if Romeo had not kept an eye out for her, this opportunity would have been
missed.
After the call, Winnie was in good mood and went downstairs for dinner.
"Looks like good news."
Brian saw the shift in Winnie's mood and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. It's been a long time since I've had such good news."
Winnie smiled as she answered Brian and picked up her chopsticks to resume eating.
She looked up at Brian, he suddenly wanted to ask Brian to help ask about the charity, but she did not
want to bother him.
"Why are you looking at me, is it related to me?"
Brian felt Winnie had something to talk to him, but she was hesitating.
"No, I am just in a good mood."
"Let's eat."
Winnie didn't end up saying what she needed, she felt that it might be convenient and easier to get
Finn's help than Brian.
She did not want Brian to help her, or she would not repay her favor.
The next morning, Vanessa insisted on going to school, and no one could stop her.
After sending both Vanessa and the children to school, Winnie and Brian went to the hospital again.
After picking Rufus up from the intensive care unit and making sure everything was stable for him,
Brian and Winnie went their separate ways.
Instead of going to the office, Winnie went straight to the police station and came to Finn.
"Director Poole, I may need your help."
Winnie went straight to the point. If she had asked for Brian's help, she would have been thinking all
day about how to return the favor.
"It looks like it's urgent, or you couldn't have come straight to me, well, go ahead."
Finn would like to offer help.
"I won't beat around the bush then, I wonder if you know any friends from the charity. There's a house
that's going to be auctioned off, and I want to buy it, but I don't know when it's going to be auctioned
off."
Winnie made her needs clear.
"Charity?"
Finn pondered for a moment.
"Do you have to buy it?"
Finn asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it's my former villa. Vanessa and I grew up in there."
Winnie replied. This house for her was important. It would remind her of her parents love.
"Okay, I'll get you accurate information. Give me the exact information about the house and I'll get back
to you soon."
Finn readily agreed, since it was the place where Winnie grew up, there was no need for him to ask too
much. That kind of sentiment could not be understood by others, all he could do was that he had to find
the appropriate information.
"Thank you, and I'll give you the basic information of the house in a moment. Director Poole, please
help me find out who the donor of this house is."
Winnie still wanted to know the donor, who had bought her house but hadn't gone through the closing
process for so many years.
"No problem, I'll do that too."
Thinking the question was simpler, Finn agreed.
"By the way, are you free this weekend? If so, let’s take the kids out together."
Finn invited Winnie, wondering if Winnie had noticed his embarrassment.
Going out together was something that her daughter had suggested. She had asked for it for a long
time, but he had been too embarrassed to talk to Winnie about it. Winnie had been very busy during
this time, and he was afraid that Winnie would overthink about it.
So he said it embarrassingly.
"I am, but I have to ask permission from the children's father. As you know, the safety of my children
has never been guaranteed, so I can't make the decision straight away."
"I'll try though."
The children's safety had always been something that Winnie was concerned about, so she said these
words with some apologies.
"No problem."
Finn expressed his understanding.
"Speaking of safety, it's a shame for us cops. If we could have found Richard earlier, your family
wouldn't have had to be so cautious."
Finn felt ashamed for Winnie did not feel safe. However, without Richard, Brian's children was also the
center of attention and safety had to be put first.
There was no doubt about the caution of the Bennet family.
"No one is to blame, it had happened to us. When Richard is caught, we'll be able to relax, and I won't
have to have to discuss everything with the children's father."
Winnie sighed, she wanted this situation to end quickly so that she could take the children back to her
own home.
"I gotta go, Director Poole, thank you again for helping me."
Winnie had a job, Finn was also a busy man, so she could not bother him for too long.
"Ok."
Finn knew that she was anxious, probably because she was afraid that the house would be bought by
someone else.
Winnie left with anticipation, and Finn began to look for connections.
Finn was a very efficient person, and Winnie received a call from Finn while she was waiting for her
children from school.
"The house is indeed in the charity and titled to the charity. The exact time of the auction has not been
set, but it was just recently."
"They'll let me know when there's definite time, you just have to be ready with the money."
"And I'm sorry to say that the person who donated didn't divulge his names, so there's an obligation of
confidentiality on the charity."
Finn thought it was a simple thing but didn't expect this result, but the one who could donate such a
villa must be a rich person.
"It's okay, I'm already grateful to know that, thank you. And please be sure to keep an eye out for me on
when the auction is, I'll have the money ready."
Winnie was very grateful and excited to get the exact information.
The most important thing for her right now was money, and she had to have more of it ready to have a
sure grip on the situation.
But the money was a problem for her. After all, she had just invested in the general agent of the hot
pot. Both dividend would have to wait until the end of the year, and she was too embarrassed to ask for
the company and Leo to offer help.
Brian had that money, but Winnie didn't want to bother him.
Hanging up, Winnie started thinking of ways to get money.
Although Daenerys and Emily had money, they invested in the hot pot restaurant too ...... alas ...... As
long as she could fix it, she would not ask for help.
Winnie waited for Brian in front of the school, and the two took the children to see Rufus.
Felix happened to be at the hospital when they arrived.
"Hello Great Grandpa, hello Grandpa."
The two children greeted.
"Hello."
Felix smiled, seeing the two children was like seeing hope and future of the Bennet family. But when he
saw Winnie behind them, Felix didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
What purpose did she bring to approach Brian, and to what did she want to do.
Having just made a somewhat good impression on Winnie, he had to be wary again because of her
true identity.
Winnie was not an ordinary person, if she wanted to take revenge to the Bennet family, it was not a
problem. Felix must figure out the truth, lest the Bennet family destroyed in Winnie's hands.
"Do you still hurt, Grandpa?"
Megan asked her grandfather in distress, seeing him with all kinds of tubes in his body and instruments
in his hands that she didn't know about.
She wanted to hold her grandfather's hand, but she was afraid of hurting him, but she couldn't bear to
look at him in pity.
Heartbroken tears fell from Megan's eyes.
"Grandpa, get well soon. It hurts too much."
"I am fine, no crying."
Rufus was so weak that it was difficult to speak and breathe. But when he saw the children crying, he
had to comfort them.
"It hurts when Grandpa talks, Megan, don't you cry, don't let Grandpa talk."
Winnie hurried over to soothe Megan, and Luke hurriedly wiped away his tears that were about to fall
down when he heard that.
"Grandpa, don't talk, Grandpa, hold on."
Luke didn't say anything else, he didn't want his grandfather to hurt.
Rufus nodded, the two children's good behavior and understanding was the thing he was most proud
of. It was for the sake of the two children that he wanted to make the Bennet family happy.
"Grandpa's been sitting here for a while, just watching and not talking."
"Grandpa, I'll take you home."
Stella walked up to her grandfather and persuaded him that he could only be more down to earth sitting
here, and he couldn't help anything, but only burdened her father.
"I'm not tired, I'll go back later."
Felix knew himself well.
"Director Chambers, how is Vanessa, has she been affected?"
Felix cared for Vanessa, even if she wasn't a Bennet, at least she had helped the Bennet family a lot.
"She’s fine. I went to school to see her before I came to the hospital and she was fine."
Winnie replied in a relaxed tone, the fact that Felix could remember Vanessa at this time made her
touched.
"School? Why doesn't she take a couple of days off before going to school?."
Felix continued.
"She insisted, afraid of falling behind in her classes. You don't have to worry, she's in pretty good shape
and has taken the tonic prescribed by Doctor Burns."
