Leo constantly said sorry, but Winnie had been hurt, and it could not change anything.
"Well, don't say that. We are friends. Don't take it to your heart. It is not a big deal."
"I gotta go."
Winnie hung up the phone and took another deep breath.
"Is it Leo?"
Brian asked anxiously.
"Yes, he said he was drunk and what he said was not true. It seems that I think too much, I am small-
minded."
Winnie admitted that she had thought too much.
She was not like this before, she looked at everything in a good way. But since her parents died, since
she had the surrogate, since the ups and downs, since Brian did not trust her, her heart became weak
and she became suspicious, and she had to complicate things to suit the wishes of others.
She wanted to get back to the old times, but she could not.
"Winwin, if Leo wants to end the cooperation, I can take over the project. I can make money with you,
too."
Brian was to dispel Winnie’s worries, and wanted her to continue to make money.
Winnie shook her head.
"Thank you, but no. If Leo wants to end this cooperation, I will stop it completely."
No matter how much money she could make, Winnie did not want to cooperate with Brian, she did not
want to have anything to do with him.
She went through a lot of pain and suffered a lot. If she agreed, the pain she suffered before would be
meaningless.
"But you need to make money, and it's a pity that a game that sells so well has to be stopped."
Brian persuaded her. The game was important to Winnie as her main source of income. Once this
game was over, Winnie would lose her confidence.
"I need the money, but I can make it in any other way. Money, like friendships and love, ends when it
should. It is not my money, not my man, I will give up."
Winnie could only persuade herself or she could not bear so much.
"Winwin, you can't think like that..."
"I'm not feeling well and I want to have some rest. Please take care of the kids."
Winnie interrupted Brian, did not give him the opportunity to go on.
She knew her temper, and she knew that it would be quarrelsome and upsetting to continue.
She was tired. She had neither the strength nor the will to continue her conversation with Brain.
At this time she just wanted to be quiet, just wanted to temporarily escape everything.
Since Penny did not let Oscar come back, Oscar left in the morning and did not come back until
evening. He was very busy this period of time, and even had no time to care for Penny.
Penny performed well during this period, and he was relieved to go to work.
Penny stayed at home alone, today she deliberately drove the nanny away and then made a call, but
she hung it up soon, because she remembered that there might be monitoring equipment in the room.
So she put her phone down and looked for possible locations for surveillance equipment. However,
after searching for a long time, she began to suspect that she had thought too much.
As she tried to call again, she got up and went outside. No surveillance equipment was found, but she
decided to be cautious.
She came outside with her phone and looked around to make sure there was no one there before she
called out.
She was nervous, however, the number did not exist.
She was disappointed and helpless as if she had lost everything.
"What's the matter? Did he get caught or was he vigilant and dropped the phone?"
Penny said to herself, but no one could give an answer.
As she was confused, the nanny came back.
"Why are you back?"
Penny asked, pretending to be calm.
"I come back for something."
Answered the nurse as she walked on.
"Please lend me your phone. My phone has no signal."
Penny tried to call it with another phone.
The nanny did not think much about it and walked directly towards Penny. After passing the mobile
phone to Penny, she hurried into the house to find her thing.
Penny called as fast as she could, but to her disappointment, the number still did not exist.
Penny was not panic, but directly called Thomas.
"Who's that?"
Thomas didn't want to answer the phone, because the number was unknown, but he still picked it up.
"Uncle Thomas, I'm Penny."
Penny calmly said, but Thomas was flustered.
Luckily there was no one with him now, or anyone would have noticed his nervousness.
"How can you make random phone calls?"
Thomas asked, afraid that he got involved.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Thomas. I'm using the nanny's phone, and no one can hear me, I am in the
yard."
Penny said, knowing that Thomas was nervous.
She had always felt that Thomas was suspicious, but she did not find anything wrong. But at this time
she could only find Thomas.
Hearing that, Thomas finally was relieved.
"What can I do for you?”
Thomas asked in a cold voice. He could let Penny aware of his tension.
"Uncle Thomas, do me a favor. I want to find my father and see my father."
Penney got right to the point, simply because she didn't have much time.
"It is not easy. Your father is now a suspect on the run and the police can't find him."
Thomas rebuffed, he can't let himself have any dealings with and Penny. Penny was useless to her and
he did not need to waste time on her.
If he had known that she would become Gloria's stumbling block, he would not have given her any
chance.
"Uncle Thomas, I believe in your ability. You are much capable than the police. Uncle Thomas, please
help me, I appreciate it and I can help you if you need help."
Penny knew that a man like Thomas would not help her if he got no benefit.
"Help me? Are you kidding me? How can you help me?"
Thomas asked jokingly.
"Uncle Thomas, I have a terminal illness. I am already a dying man. I can help you with anything. I'm
even willing to take a man's life."
Penny expressed her determination.
People didn't know that she was faking sick but felt she was dying and a dying man could do anything.
However Penny’s hypocrisy made Thomas have an evil thought. His eyes were murderous, as he had
not been so for many years.
"You've gone too far when you say you dare to take other people's lives."
Thomas was testing Penny, if Penny dare do it, it was not necessarily a bad thing, but he had to be
careful not to expose himself, not to let Penny catch his weak spot.
"No, Uncle Thomas, you can trust me, or you can test me. I'll do anything if you let me see my father
before I die.”
Penny was eager for success and promised again and again.
"Uncle Thomas..."
Just as she was about to take a second vote, the nanny came out of the room. Penny, seeing that,
quickly took back what she wanted to say but said goodbye
"I'll be in touch, Uncle Thomas. Bye."
Penny hung up the phone as fast as she could and deleted Thomas' number.
Thomas was still thinking of Penny’s words. She said she was dying and dare do anything, even kill
someone.
Would she have extreme behavior if she knew she was really dying?
Thomas immediately called Gloria.
Soon the phone was connected.
"Have you been to Penny these days?"
Thomas asked in a composed manner.
"No, I have been studying the business and have no time to go to her."
Gloria answered truthfully. She thought Penny was ill and it did not matter when she went to find her,
anyway she could not run away. Her cooperation with Brain was about to begin, and she must enrich
herself to face the cooperation with the Bennet Group.
So Gloria regarded cooperation more important than Penny.
"Take some time to see her. As far as I know, Wendy has already begun her plan. If you are not active,
you will have no chance."
Thomas urged Gloria and let her take Penny seriously.
"Well, I'll go today."
Hearing that Wendy had already started her plan, Gloria was really worried. At this time she realized
that Penny was also important. Without her, she would have been successful.
Felix repeatedly thought about how to deal with the things between Winnie and Brian. Thinking of two
kids, thinking of Brian who threatened him, thinking of Stella and Rufus who persuaded him, his will
began to waver.
If he still refused Winnie, he would lose everything, and everyone would hate him. If he accepted
Winnie, it would be a happy ending for everyone, but what he had been insisting on was destroyed.
Although he wavered, Felix could not make up his mind. He was struggling to see if he could come up
with the best way.
In the study he made a call to Winnie.
Winnie had fallen asleep, the phone was placed on the bed, and a ringing bell woke her up.
She picked up the phone.
"Chairman."
In fact, Winnie was resistant to communicate with Felix, for it would affect her mood. It had been a
while since he was at odds with herself and angry with her. It was an improvement, but he never smiled
at her
