Chapter 86 Hit the Wall
Chapter 86 Hit the Wall
Winnie walked into the secretary's office. After Klara saw that it was Winnie, she looked away
disdainfully and looked down at the files on the desk.
"Miss Klara, I don't understand where your hostility towards me comes from. I don't seem to offend
you."
Winnie asked directly.
"Miss Winnie, you think too much. I am not hostile to you."
Klara didn't even look up, just answered Winnie disdainfully.
"Don't think of me as a fool. If what you say is true, you should manage your behavior. Don't always
gloat when I leave. Don’t show resentment and hatred so obvious when I come back."
Winnie didn't believe Klara's words. Klara didn’t hide her disgust to Winnie at all. Of course, Winnie
could feel it.
"Klara, I know why you hate me. It's your business that you like Mr. Bennet. It's also your business
whether you can let him like you. Don't treat me as an imaginary enemy. Don't treat me as a barrier
between you."
Winnie knew that saying too directly would hurt Klara. But when she thought of Klara's ruthless that
day, she was extremely angry and wanted to scold Klara badly.
It was understandable that Klara didn’t like her, but at least Klara should separate her work from her
personal life. How could Klara just ignore her when she was so anxious that day? Was Klara so
vicious?
"You... Miss Winnie, please don't talk nonsense. You will make me very embarrassing. I don't like Mr.
Bennet."
Klara didn't expect Winnie to speak it so directly. Besides, Winnie actually knew that she liked Brian.
The secret that she had hidden for so many years was exposed in this way. Klara felt like being naked
to stand in front of the public.
Klara flushed with embarrassment and anger, but she couldn't admit it. So she could only refute
Winnie, though it was not her true thoughts.
"If you don’t like Mr. Bennet, why will you feel embarrassed? Klara, you can continue to treat me as a
fool. But you’d better separate your work from your personal life. Don't make a big mistake because of
your selfishness."
"Also, I am not someone you can treat casually. Because I have done nothing wrong to you. I don't owe
you. Pay attention to your behaviors in the future. Don't always look at me as if I owe you so much."
Winnie was not the kind of unforgiving person, but Klara was getting too far during this time. If Winnie
still didn’t say anything, Klara would make even bigger mistakes next time.
Winnie said angrily and then turned around. But she saw Brian standing behind her with a gloomy face.
At this time, Klara actually sobbed.
Winnie finally saw through Klara, who was more scheming than Penny. At this moment, she couldn't
help but want to check Brian’s taste. How could he be surrounded by people with such distorted
thoughts?
"Apologize."
Brian spoke in a cold voice. The coldness in his black eyes had already expressed his anger.
"Apologize? Me? What did I do wrong?"
Winnie said unconvincingly. If she had to apologize, she would not say what she said just now.
"I said apologize."
Brian suddenly roared. His face was covered with black clouds.
"Mr. Bennet, you may not know me. If I’m not wrong, even if you kill me, I won't apologize. So no matter
how loud you shout, it doesn't matter to me."
Since Brian shouted at her, she didn't have to care about Brian. She shouted back in anger.
"You still said that you were not wrong? You actually said such harsh words. You’re just a liar. What
rights do you have to be respected by other?"
Brian was anxious. He didn't expect that Winnie would shout back at him in front of others. So he was
so mad that he said some hurtful words.
Winnie's heart was like to be stabbed with a knife. The blood flowed out. She almost couldn't breathe
because of the pain.
What was Brian talking about? He actually said she was a liar in front of Klara who had always
contempt her.
Even if she was a liar, she should not be treated like this. Why should he insult her? So heartbroken!
So disappointed! She felt so regretful that she fell in love with such a man.
"Yes, you are right. I am a liar. I am not worthy of being respected. But I did not lie to her. She can’t
treat me like that."
Winnie shouted back angrily, looking stubborn and upset.
"Mr. Bennet, I didn't expect that there are so many women who make you care about, and there are
quite a few women who need you to come forward to protect. Then just protect your women well. Don't
let them be hurt by me!"
Winnie furiously pushed Brian away and left.
At this time, she looked stubborn, but her heart was hurting. In Brian's eyes, she was always so mean.
She was always the person who had to be blamed whether she was wrong or right.
Such a man was not worthy of her love. She didn’t want to see him anymore. She just hoped that he
didn't come to bother her anymore.
Winnie left angrily, while Klara was still crying.
"I'm okay. Mr. Bennet, Miss Winnie is not malicious. Maybe it's a bit misunderstanding."
Klara was still crying. Her acting skills were so good.
"Respect Miss Winnie in the future. She is the talent our company needs."
Brian turned and left after giving a cold warning.
Winnie felt so wronged, but she had no one to talk with. She could only hold it back. When she went to
the kindergarten to pick up the children, she had to pretend that nothing happened. She still greeted
them with a smile.
She lay on the sofa in the living room after having dinner with her two children in the evening. But she
was absent-minded when the children were watching TV.
When she was in a daze, there was the sound of opening the door. The two children rushed over to
greet the person.
"Daddy."
"Uncle."
The children didn't know what was going on. They all smiled happily.
Brian first glanced at Winnie who was lying on the sofa before returning his eyes to the two children.
"Did you guys have dinner?"
Brian tried his best to ease his emotions and tried not to let the children see what happened between
him and Winnie.
"Yes. Has uncle had dinner?"
Megan answered first.
"I haven't had dinner. Is there any food at home?"
Brian's volume increased. Winnie, who was lying on the sofa, could hear clearly, but she did not
respond.
"No, just let Mommy make some food for you."
Megan said happily.
Megan’s words forced Winnie to get up from the sofa. But instead of going to the kitchen, she walked to
the door.
"Megan, Mommy just said that there is something to deal with. You can order takeaway for uncle."
After Winnie said with a smile, she looked up at Brian. Although she was still smiling, there was hatred
in her eyes.
"It just so happened that you came here. Go to play with them for a while. I have to go out for a while."
Winnie said softly, holding back the anger. If it wasn't for Luke's illness, she would kick Brian out now.
Winnie put on her shoes and opened the door to leave.
When Winnie walked to the elevator, she realized that she had nowhere to go. She began to feel lost.
The elevator quickly reached the first floor, but Winnie hadn't figured out where to go. Luckily, she met
Leo on the first floor.
"Where are you going? Where are the kids?"
Leo asked.
"They are upstairs with Brian. I’m going to buy some stuff."
Winnie made up a reason, and tried her best to cover up her bad mood.
"Come on. I have made progress in the investigation. Go to my house. I’ll tell you in detail."
In this way, Winnie went to Leo’s home.
"What's the progress? Was it Penny?"
Winnie couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the house.
"Don't be in hurry. Sit down and talk."
The two came to the living room to sit down. Leo became serious.
"There is no definitive evidence to prove that it’s Penny who did it, but this matter was deliberately
covered up by Felix. The police were also suppressed by Felix. From this matter, it should be Penny
who hired the murderer to kill you, otherwise Felix wouldn't block your way."
"The Chairman helped Penny? So the Chairman knows it?"
Winnie frowned. It seemed that things were not as simple as she thought.
"Yes. Felix blocked this matter. I can't check it out any further."
Leo was a little ashamed. Winnie trusted him and asked him for help. He promised her so confidently at
that time, but he couldn't find out the truth.
"What about Brian? Did Brian intervene in this matter?"
Winnie continued to ask.
"Brian did not interfere, but he is also investigating. Just like me, he has hit the wall too."
This was also something that Leo investigated. Even Brian couldn't get any progress, so Leo could only
wait and see.
Winnie breathed a sigh of relief. If Brian got involved into this matter, she would have no hope at all.
"Then there is no way, right?"
"Felix came forward. No one can refuse him for the time being. I'm sorry, Winwin. I didn't help you."
Leo apologized and felt ashamed.
"It's okay. Why are you apologizing? I have to thank you for doing so much for me."
Winnie thought that Leo had tried his best to help her.
"Don't thank me. If you thank me, I feel ashamed. Winwin, if you’re not in hurry, you can wait for a
while. When Felix relaxes his vigilance, I can still help you investigate it."
Now this was only way.
"There is no other way but to wait. Leo, help me analyze why the Chairman helped Penny. This is an
illegal matter. If it is found out, he will not be able to shirk responsibility." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Winnie couldn't figure it out. Felix already knew Penny abused Luke. But why did he still help Penny?
"He has ways to get away, so he dared to hide it. As for why he favors Penny, I'm not sure."
"Penny is the daughter-in-law of the Bennet family. This must be one of the reasons. Felix is a
businessman. In his mind, nothing is as important as business."
When Leo paused, Winnie interrupted him and asked.
"Why does this matter have to do with business?"
Winnie still couldn't understand why she was involved in the business of Penny and the Bennet family.
"Felix has planned to buy the Burns Group. It is said he has already planned it when Brian and Penny
was going to get married. If what Penny did is exposed at this time, it will be the most unfavorable for
the Bennet family. His plan will also fall short."
All these were heard by Leo when he was in business in the past few years. So it must be true.
"The Burns Group?"
Winnie was puzzled.
"I forgot to tell you. The Burns family is Penny's maiden family. Her father's surname is Burns and her
mother is also Burns, so she doesn’t change her name. After being brought back by the Burns family,
her father wanted to change her name but she didn’t agree. "
