Now that Winnie was back with Brian, she was starting to get involved in the Bennet Group’s work.
After getting Brian and the Bennet Group under her control, the Bennet Group was going to be
destroyed in Winnie's hands.
At this moment Felix's worry had not decreased.
"No need, I can work anywhere. If he needs this place, I'll go to my own room, for I want quality work
not working conditions."
Winnie understood Felix probably was afraid of her stealing Brian's work secrets.
She knew that Felix had never dropped his guard, and that she was either a liar or a thief to his eyes.
In short she had always been the one he was wary of.
"Yes, that's right. It's the work quality matters not the condition."
"Director Chambers, I've always admired your ability to work."
Winnie was smart and had a strict attitude towards her work. Such a girl was indeed his standard for
choosing a grandson-in-law.
But not Winnie, she was Dominik Chambers' daughter and likely carried hatred with her, one day she
would take revenge.
"Thank you, Chairman, for your appreciation."
Winnie said politely, his wariness had never waned, but this time it was obvious that he was strict too.
Although she didn't know the reason for Felix's rigor, Winnie clearly knew that she hadn't done anything
excessive, let alone stealing any secrets in this office.
There was no way she could change Felix's cold attitude towards her, but she could do her best.
"I want to thank you for improving the relationship between Brian and Rufus. On behalf of everyone in
the Bennet family, I ......"
"You don't have to be so polite, Chairman, I didn't do anything. The bond between father and son will
never be broken no matter what they go through, they just need a chance. Once this step is taken,
things will be better resolved in the future. So you don't have to worry anymore, everything will be fine."
Winnie interrupted Felix without letting him finish his sentence.
She did not want him to thank her.
She didn't accept Brian's thanks, didn't accept Rufus' thanks, didn't accept Stella and Joshua's thanks,
since that was the case, she couldn't accept Felix's thanks.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't feel she had the ability to change Brian. So she couldn't take
their whole family's thanks.
"Director Chambers, you are right, but you're modest."
Felix’s heart was soft again. She was a kind-hearted woman, who would never take revenge.
At this moment, Felix had a selfish thought, hoping that Winnie was not here to take revenge, hoping
that she and Brian did not know anything, hoping she kept by Brian’s side to give strength to Brian and
help raise the next generation of the Bennet family.
As Felix's words fell, Butler Lowe knocked on the door.
"Chairman, the clothes are ready, we can go now."
"Good."
"That's it then, I'll go to the hospital."
Felix stood up, and then walked out of the studio.
Winnie sent Felix away and then went back to work, not wondering what Felix's purpose for coming
here was.
When the charity auction started on Wednesday, Winnie didn't tell Brian but asked Finn to accompany
her.
From the moment she walked into the auction site, Winnie became nervous and even excited.
She came with the imperative determination that her family's house would have to come back to her.
Finding a seat near the front, Winnie and Finn sat down.
Watching the bidders walk in, Winnie became even more nervous.
"These people are here for the house?"
Winnie whispered and communicated with Finn next to her.
"No, there's more than just the house up for bid today, there's other donated stuff up for auction along
with it. You don't have to worry, it's going to be a success."
He had sensed Winnie's nervousness long ago, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
If she was his girlfriend, he would hold her hand in his own and would give her a hug.
"Oh, I thought it was all about bidding on houses."
Winnie relaxed, or the bidding on the house was estimated to be a hundred million.
"You're overthinking it. By the way, how was the money raised?"
Finn returned the money to Brian, but Brian didn't say how Winnie got the money.
"I got an cooperation and I was given a total of fifty million for the deposit and start-up capital. I didn't
borrow the money from you, because I think fifty million is enough."
Winnie felt that she was late in saying that, she should have told Finn when she raised the money so
that he wouldn't be worrying.
"Well, good. You won't have any pressure to raise money in that way."
That was Winnie’s personality.
She would rather suffer herself and never bother others, never make things difficult for others. Such a
good woman was not cherished Brian, though.
"Yeah, you know me. I'm solid with the money I've earned with my own efforts."
Winnie did not say that she was out of psychological shadow of debt, out of fear, she did not dare to
use other people's money.
Finn smiled lightly, looking at Winnie's pure and sunny appearance when she smiled. If they had met
earlier, maybe they would have been more than just subordinates.
"I don't think this house will sell for fifty million, the land is indeed worth twenty-five million, but the
house is very old, I guess it can't be worth twenty-five million. You've got enough money ready, if it is
not enough, I can lend to you."
Finn diverted his thoughts, focusing on the house instead of ruminating.
"Hopefully 50 million will do, if it's not enough, you'll really have to help me. But don't worry, as soon as
the house is bought, I'll use it to get a loan and then pay you back."
Winnie was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so she told Finn so as not to catch herself off guard.
"No problem."
Finn agreed readily.
The two men chatted for a while before the auction began.
There was indeed more than this one villa up for auction, and by the time the villa was auctioned, it was
an hour later.
Looking at the pictures of the house shown on the screen, Winnie's heart ached uncontrollably.
It wasn't just a house, it was the only memory her parents had left behind. It was exciting to think about
it and she even wanted to cry. If no one had been there, she might have lost her voice long ago.
"This villa was donated by a very successful entrepreneur, but he does good deeds without leaving his
name. None of you should try to know who he is."
The host humorously opened his mouth, but he did not say who the donor was.
"Without further ado, the starting bid for this villa is twenty-five million, and we will now begin the
bidding."
"Since we have to save every penny of our charity's money, the auctioneer is me. Come on, twenty-five
million, any more?"
The host's humor and wit eased Winnie's nerves, and at this point, she didn't have the energy to be
nervous and to be all in on the bidding. It was because of a strong conviction that she had to calm
down.
"Twenty-six million."
As soon as the host's voice fell, there were bidders who raised their bids.
"Twenty-seven million."
"Twenty-eight million."
There was a steady stream of people giving prices, and Winnie remained silent as she listened to these
people's price increased.
It was easy to raise the bids one million by one million up to 50 million.
"Twenty-eight million once, twenty-eight million twice, twenty ......"
"Twenty-nine million."
"Thirty million."
The price continued to rise, but when it grew to thirty million, Winnie heard people whispering behind
her.
"This house is not worth it if the price is being raised, the location is good and the house is big, but the
house is too old to live in, and tearing it down is like throwing away a lot of money."
Hearing people behind her talk like this, Winnie felt happy instead. The more they talked like this, the
less competition there would be.
It was not decent or worthwhile for them, but for Winnie, this house was the most decent, more
valuable than even Brian's hilltop villa.
The bidding continued and didn't stop with the chatter of the people behind them.
"Thirty-six million."
"Thirty-eight million."
There was silence for a moment after 38 million.
"Thirty-eight million once, thirty-eight million twice. Thirty-eight million ......"
Just as Winnie was about to raise her hand, someone else raised the price.
"Forty million."
"Forty-two million."
These two prices were given by two people, and the price was raised to such a high level because
these two people had been insisting on it.
Forty-two million was a surprise to the host.
"Forty-two million once, forty-two million twice, forty-two million ......"
Just at this critical moment Winnie raised her card.
"Forty-three million."
No one expected an increase on this house, and it was a beautiful, sophisticated and young woman.
They all looked at Winnie with astonished eyes, thinking that such a beautiful and rich woman should
buy a better villa.
"The lady is up to forty-three million, any more?"
"Forty-three million once ......"
"Forty-four million."
There was a man who raised a million higher than Winnie. Winnie blandly looked back at this person,
whose face had turned gloomy and his eyebrows were knitted together, looking as if he had reached
his limit.
"Forty-five million."
Winnie raised her card again, not yet the expected fifty million, she didn't need to panic.
"Forty-five million, forty-five million once, forty-five million twice, forty-five million ...... three times."
"Deal, the house is this beauty's."
As the host's words fell, Winnie's heart fell with them, feeling relieved.
The house was finally back to her.
Winnie took a little more time to deal with the procedure, and the first time she walked out of the
charity, Winnie called her aunt on the phone.
Waiting for the call to be connected, Finn could see that Winnie could not contain her excitement
already.
As soon as the phone was connected, Winnie's tears flowed down.
"Auntie ...... Auntie, I have good news for you. I bought back our villa, we have a home now, we can
now go back the house my parents sued to live."
Winnie was unbearably emotional, sobbing.
"Auntie ...... Auntie, | have good news for you. | bought back our villa, we have a home now, we can
now go back the house my parents sued to live."
Winnie was unbearably emotional, sobbing.
