Romeo said in a gentle voice. Seeing Winnie work so hard now, he was deeply moved.
In the past, her father passed away before he paid tens of millions dollars back to debtors. In the past five years, Winnie had paid off most of the debts. Ordinary men couldn't do as well as she did. Therefore, he was proud of Winnie.
"You're the last debtor. I feel guilty for repaying others before you. Thank you! Thank you so much! If you weren't tolerant, I wouldn't be able to pay off most of the debt now."
As Winnie spoke, she couldn't help feeling sad. Having been suffering from pain and fatigue for so many years, she had never mentioned it to anyone. Now, in the presence of someone who was like her father, she felt aggrieved. However, she restrained it and then forced herself to be strong.
After coming out of the Cafe, Winnie was in a much better mood and felt more relaxed than before. As long as she gave Uncle Romeo a million dollars back and then paid a million dollars back to Daenerys, she would pay off all the debts.
She planned to buy a bigger house after selling the one under the name of Vanessa. Then, her family would be able to really live in B City again.
Penny hadn't made any trouble for Winnie recently, but it didn't mean that she had given up.
Today she came to get the mobile phone Winnie lost before. She would like to see what was stored in Winnie's mobile phone.
She was cautious. Afraid that it would be discovered, she asked the person she hired to put the phone in a safe and only came to get it after such a long time.
She found the safe, entered the password and then saw the mobile phone Winnie lost.
Finding that this mobile phone had run out of power, Penny found a place to charge it. However, after she turned it on, she found that she couldn't unlock it. Therefore, she found someone professional to unlock it.
After returning home with this mobile phone, Penny went back to her bedroom, locked the door and then began to search for the video videoed on that day.
However, a few seconds later, her face became pale. She widened her eyes in horror and in disbelief. After watching all the videos in Winnie's mobile phone, her heart palpitated in fear.
"How is it possible? Why would Winnie have the video videoed when Luke was beaten? No wonder she hates me so much. She knows so much!"
Penny talked to herself in shock, but suddenly thought of the camera.
She ran out of her bedroom and rummaged around in the house. She was so anxious that she didn't even hear the servant greet her. After rummaging for a while, she was sure that there wasn't any camera in the house and then went to the storeroom. She rummaged around in the storeroom, but still didn't find the camera.
She went back to her bedroom in astonishment, forced herself to calm down and watched the videos again. Judging from the video, the camera moved as Luke moved. Then, the camera should be carried by Luke.
Penny began to recall what Luke had done when he was beaten. Finally, she thought of the teddy bear.
She went to Luke's room in a hurry and saw that the teddy bear was placed on the bed. Penny tore the teddy bear as if she were crazy. Finally, she found a tiny camera in the eye of the toy.
She stared at the camera as if she wanted to kill someone. Winnie should have begun to scheme against her a long time ago! She was so careless that she knew nothing about it.
She must get Winnie's computer and deleted all the evidence. Besides, she must drive Winnie away from B City. Winnie's continuing to stay in B City was a recipe for endless trouble.
After deleting all the videos from the phone, Penny smashed it and threw it into a dustbin outside.
Albert finally made a progress in the investigation because of what Penny had done.
Now, he was reporting in the President's office with the mobile phone Penny threw away. And at this moment, Brian's face was dark.
"Mr. Bennet, I've made sure that this cell phone belongs to Winnie and that it's Mrs. Bennet who has thrown it away. Therefore, Mrs. Bennet must have asked the robber to rob Winnie of it."
Albert went on reporting.
"What about the investigation about the car accident Winnie met?"
Brian asked angrily.
"I still haven't found out the fact. The offending driver had never contacted Mrs. Bennet. Besides, he was well protected by the Chairman and we can't do anything."
Albert answered seriously. He didn't expect that it would be so difficult to investigate this accident.
"It seems that I should go to see grandpa."
Brian said in a cold voice. Then he continued to order.
"Get someone fix this phone and try to keep all the data in it."
Brian would like to know what evidence there was in the mobile phone that was worth the trouble Penny took.
On the weekend, when Brian was about to go to the Johnson’s villa with Luke, he received a phone call from his grandpa who asked him to take Megan and Winnie to the Johnson’s villa with him.
Although Winnie felt puzzled and was unwilling to go to the Johnson’s villa, she had to go with Brian in the end.
After they came to the Johnson’s villa, they found nothing special. Except that Felix was a little serious, nothing unusual happened.
After lunch, Winnie went to have a rest with the kids. Only then did Brian have a chance to talk to Felix alone.
In the pavilion in the garden, Felix was sitting while Brian was walking back and forth.
"You get along well with Winnie. Is it that you and she are together again?"
Felix asked in a deep voice.
Brian paused and leaned against the back of the bench.
"Yes, Luke can't bear leaving her or me."
Brian finally decided to admit it. He knew that his grandpa wouldn't ask tentatively if he didn't know everything. It would be invidious for him to conceal it from grandpa.
"In my opinion, it's you who can't bear leaving her."
"Since you've been prepared, handle the relationship between you and Penny as soon as possible. You should know what I want."
By these words, Felix ordered Brian to acquire the Burns Group.
In Felix's view, it was not beneficial for Brian to get entangled with too many women. Therefore, he wanted to Brian to deal with the relationships with these women as soon as possible, otherwise Brian would be put into a very difficult position when Wendy came back. If that was the case, the Bennet Group would be affected.
Now Winnie was very important for Luke. Therefore, it was only proper for Brian to handle the relationship with Penny.
"The reason why you protect Penny is that you want to prevent me from finding any evidence?"
Brian finally found the chance to get to the point.
"Yes. After you acquire the Burns Group, I'll give you the evidence. Then, you can decide how to deal with it."
Felix said in a cold and precise manner. He had wanted to acquire the Burns Group for many years and he would never give up.
"Grandpa, do you know that it's not fair for Winnie? She almost died."
Brian wasn't being calm again. He disagreed with Felix. He could acquire the Burns Group even without Penny.
"Do you treat her fairly? If you do, why do you want her to leave after Wendy comes back?"
Felix said with yellow looks.
"People's destiny depend on God and they're all of some use. Winnie is doomed to be used by you. Don't think too much. Just give her more compensation when you drive her away in the future."
"Try your best to acquire the Burns Group. This is my last request for you. As long as you acquire the Burns Group successfully, I won't do anything to Wendy's father's s company and you'll be the Chairman of the Bennet Group."
After Felix said these words coldly, he stood up and left directly.
Brian frowned and was angry. His face darkened and he didn't know what to do.
He didn't care about the last sentences grandpa said. What made him feel uncomfortable now was that he should be using Winnie.
Felix liked Megan very much, so he forced them to stay for dinner.
When they were eating, Felix paid all his attention to them four. The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious and happy. What mattered most was that Luke was very happy and Brian seemed to be obedient to Winnie.
After dinner, they sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted happily. Suddenly, Felix stood up.
"Winnie, follow me to my study."
Felix said in a peremptory way.
