After dinner in the evening, Brian took the contract to the old house.
In Felix's study, Brian put the contract safely in front of grandpa.
"This is partnership with Andrew. The contract was signed today and the details were confirmed."
Felix picked up the contract and looked at it, but did not look the content, because he believed that
Brian could handle it well.
"Go ahead, what is your requirement?"
Felix knew the purpose of Brian coming here with the contract.
"From now on, don't arrange blind dates for me, don't interfere in my marriage, I want to be with
Winnie."
Brian answered impulsively.
He should have said this the last time he came, but grandpa didn't give him a chance. He finally spoke
up today and could finally make his own decisions. Whether grandpa agreed or not, he felt happy.
All these years, he had been trying to get stronger, trying to get grandpa’s trust. He never went against
his grandpa's wishes, and even if he had his own ideas, he never said it out.
But this time he came with the attitude that he would win, that he would not give in.
"I will not arrange blind date for you."
Felix answered, but he only gave one answer.
"What about my marriage? I want to be with Winwin."
Grandpa's answer let Brian disappointed. Brian wanted more.
"I said I will not arrange blind date for you."
Felix repeated, raising his voice and making his meaning clear.
"Well, since you said so, I can only say thank you."
Brian was unconvinced. His grandpa did not accept Winwin, he could only give up.
"I will cultivate Jack, and when he has the ability, I will give the Bennet Group to him."
Brian said angrily and was to leave, but Felix stopped him in a cold voice.
"Stop, are you threatening me? If I refuse to allow you to be with Director Chambers, you will give up
the Bennet Group."
In the face of Brian's anger, Felix was calm.
"It wasn't a threat. It was my choice between the Bennet Group and Winwin. I realize now that work
does not matter."
"I want to live for myself, I want to fight for my children's happiness. A home is not a home without
children’s and a woman’s laughter."
"Grandpa, I've been fighting for you and working for the Bennet Group. But that's not what I want most.
I just want a home for my children and a life with the people I love."
Brian had made his position clear. Whatever the obstacles, he was serious.
Brian said that and left, but Felix fell into deep meditation.
Brian’s attitude was firm and he seemed to have made all preparations for the demonstration. There
was no point in Felix doing anything now.
Even if he intimidated Winnie, even if he drove Winnie away, he felt that it would not succeed.
Felix put the key of the problem on the children. If he insisted on driving away Winnie, would two
children be depressed? Would they hate him for a lifetime?
If Brian was ready to give up on the Bennet Group, it would be a huge loss and its future must be
affected.
Winnie was capable. If Brian chose her, all four of his family would leave. Then the Bennet Group
would lose a talent.
It was a lost to the Bennet Group, it would be better for him to agree with Brain.
Felix thought so, but he would not give up the original goal easily. Now he would wait and see and it
was not late for him to make a decision when he had then answer if Winnie could be back to Brian.
After Winnie arrived in C City, she slept for a few hours and then went to school. The school had
dormitories and canteens, so she decided to eat at school and live at school.
Fortunately, it was the first day, and there was no course, Winnie slept in the dormitory.
She woke up in the evening with hunger.
The canteen had already been closed, Winnie did not want to eat out, so she ordered take-out.
When she was to pick up her phone, Finn's phone came in.
"Hi, Director. I'm settled in, don't worry."
Winnie greeted the director.
"You're a cop. Of course I don't have to worry about you. Have you had supper?"
Finn asked.
"Not yet. I was sleeping and it has past mealtime. I'm ready to order takeout now."
Vanessa spoke to Finn without the feeling of restraint, she felt Finn was not overbearing but easy-
going.
"I haven't eaten either. Come downstairs."
Winnie was puzzled to hear that.
"Downstairs? Where to?"
“I'm at your school gate, and I haven't eaten either."
Winnie was a smart man, but she was confused at his words.
“Are you at the school gate? Are you in C City?"
Winnie was surprised and did not feel real.
"Cut the crap and get down."
Finn urged her. He had pushed off the invitation of a lot of colleagues so as to have dinner with Winnie.
Winnie changed her clothes and then walked out.
Two people came to a very famous local restaurant together, and Finn got a position by the window.
"So many people line up, how did you get the position? Do you have good relationship with the boss?"
Winnie asked Finn looking at the crowd.
"There is a service called advance positioning. You are not aliens, why don’t you understand?"
Finn felt Winnie had a problem in her brain, but she looked cute.
"Oh, I forgot. You seem to have chosen the place and the time."
Winnie did not expect Finn had been prepared. So to have dinner with her was planned.
"By the way, Director...”
"Don't call me director outside, call me Finn."
Finn interrupted her and did not let other know his identity.
"Director Poole."
Winnie did not call his name, after all, he was her superior, it was not respectful to call his name.
"Call me Mr. Poole."
Finn changed his statement, seeing Winnie’s embarrassment.
"Ok, Mr. Poole."
Winnie said.
"It's just a name. It's better than to call me director."
"By the way, when did you come, Mr. Poole? Didn't you go to work yesterday?"
Winnie was confused. She took the last flight yesterday, but she did not meet Finn. But he came out of
nowhere
"First flight in the morning. There's a meeting in C City. I came to see you after it."
Finn explained.
"Not exactly to see you, I want to you fulfill your promise."
"Fulfill my promise? What promise did I make to you?"
Winnie was confused. She did not remember anything.
"You said you would invite me to dinner on my first day at work? Did you forget it?"
Finn reminded Winnie.
"... Oh... I remember it."
Winnie recalled what Finn said.
"Mr. Poole, you mean it is my treat?"
Winnie now understood Finn’s meaning.
She was invited to dinner, but she was the one who was to pay the bill.
"Yes, it is your treat."
Finn gave an affirmative answer.
It didn't matter who paid the bill, it mattered who he had dinner with.
"You are scheming."
Winnie whispered, afraid of being heard.
"Ok, it is my treat. But Mr. Poole, we can wipe the slate clean after this meal. I can't be punished for
working overtime any more."
Since she had paid the pay, she could not get in trouble.
"It's a deal."
Finn readily agreed.
Winnie smiled naturally. As long as she did not need to spend time with Brian, she could handle it
easily.
In B City.
Brian didn't get a positive answer from his grandpa, but it was a good thing that his grandpa didn't force
him to go on a blind date. He wanted to tell Winnie this, but Winnie refused to answer her phone. It was
possible that Winnie had blacklisted him.
So Brian had to call Morgan.
"Did the bodyguard take over?"
Brian asked seriously.
"Yes, they started work this morning."
"Mr. Bennet, why does Director Chambers get to the Police University?"
Morgan had been following Winnie this day. Winnie was at the restaurant, and he was in his car in the
parking lot, and he could see Winnie was having dinner with a man.
"Police University? What do you mean?"
Brian was at a loss.
"She left the hotel this morning and went straight to the Police University. And then she went back to
the hotel before noon. When she came out again, she went to the Police University with all her
luggage."
"When she came out in the evening, she changed her clothes but didn't carry any luggage."
Morgan saw only the surface and he did not know the details.
