Chapter 277 Brian's Mistress
Chapter 277 Brian's Mistress
Thomas understood what Richard meant, but if he did not to reveal any valuable information, Thomas
would not help.
Helping Penny out was a long and laborious business, and it involved sharing the responsibility. If
something happened, he would be an accomplice, and when Brian knew about it, he would be
exposed.
"I really can't help you with that."
Thomas refused. He kept Richard because Richard knew something he shouldn't know and because
he was still useful for the time being. Otherwise, Richard would have died now.
Thomas left Richard and went directly to the suburbs.
"Stella, you are here. Why don’t you accompany grandpa?"
Thomas walked into the sitting room and saw Stella and Rufus were sitting on the sofa.
For Stella, Thomas had been on guard. Stella was warm and kind on the surface, but she had been
helping Brian, so he could not neglect the existence of Stella.
Thinking of this, Thomas suddenly thought of Winnie.
Winnie had a humble status, so Brian asked Stella to erase Winnie’s previous information?
Thomas thought it was possible, but for what the previous information of Winnie would be erased?
"Uncle Thomas, you are here. Grandpa went to see an old friend today. I got bored at home and came
to spend time with my father."
Stella said, while getting up to give her position to Thomas.
"Good, come often and spend time with your father, so he won't be lonely."
"Hasn’t Luke come back these days? I have not seen him for a long time."
"He comes back on weekend. This weekend I will take Luke to my father. He misses Luke."
Rufus answered.
"Brother, is Luke all right? Do you trust the parents of a classmate?"
Thomas wanted to get some information.
"Don't worry, she is better than Penny."
Rufus said in a deep voice and he trusted Winnie.
"Penny is our misfortune, Wendy will not do that. I think it's safer to get Luke back."
"If Winnie does something not conducive to him, we will regret it."
Thomas concerned about Luke, sounding sincere in tone.
"Uncle Thomas, you think much. There is only one Penny and Luke won't be so unlucky to always
encounter bad person."
"Uncle Thomas, drink tea."
Stella rebuffed Thomas with a very simple word. Then she put the tea in front of Thomas.
"You are right, Luke won't be so unlucky."
Thomas took a sip of tea and continued talking.
"Alas, but it is better if the child is with his mother. If only Luke's mother can come back."
Hearing that, Stella had no reaction, but she held vigilance.
Luke's sudden appearance did make Brian and Stella feel difficult to deal with for a few days. It could
not be said that he was born by a surrogate woman, so they explained that one of Brian's girlfriends
gave birth and left.
Now although Grandpa already knew it, he himself found it out. For grandpa, it was acceptable if it was
a child of the Bennet family, and he did not care who the mother was. He would be scornful especially if
she was a lowly woman.
However, Uncle Thomas was not aware of the truth. Had he known anything since he suddenly
mentioned Luke's mother?
"We cannot accept that kind of woman, who abandoned the child. She is not a good mother, and if she
comes back, she could not fulfill her duty to be a mother."
Stella answered, lest Thomas asked more.
"Well, that makes sense."
Thomas found that Stella held vigilance, so he suspected more about Winnie. It seemed that there was
something wrong with Winnie.
In the suburbs, he did not find out more news of Winnie, Thomas felt depressed. When he was back
home, his eyes were on the TV, but he kept thinking about Winnie.
He had found someone to continue the investigation into Winnie, and increased the efforts. But ge was
still perturbed and always felt that Winnie had a big secret.
"Dad, you are so absorbed, what are you watching? I have called you several times."
Jack's voice pulled back Thomas's wandering mind.
"I am watching TV, why are you so late?"
Thomas asked Jack.
"I had dinner with friends? Am I late?"
Jack threw himself on the sofa.
"Is Grandpa sleeping?"
Jack continued to ask.
"Yes, do you think everyone has no sense of time like you?"
Thomas started nagging as a father.
“It is just eleven o’clock, and you are up too. Young people do not sleep so early."
Jack thought he had come back early, but his father still said he was later. It seemed that this was the
so-called generation gap.
"Early to bed..."
"Ok, I'll go to bed to fit in with you."
As Thomas was to nag, Jack impatiently interrupted him.
But when Jack got up, Thomas continued to speak.
"How is your work these days? Have you made any progress?"
Thomas's tone was low. It had been days he did not talk with his son about the company, so he took
this opportunity.
"I go to work routinely, no outstanding achievements."
Jack answered in a desultory way.
During this time, he just got to know the job. His assistant and secretary did everything for him. He just
needed to sign the papers. This kind of work was impossible to produce achievements.
But for the current situation, Jack had no complaints. Only in this way he could be relaxed and had
more time for entertainment.
"You can't do that. Take a chance to make a difference, you gotta make Grandpa and Brian think you
can make achievement."
For his son's insouciance, Thomas was angry, but he couldn't let it out. Otherwise, Jack would walk
away again.
"I know. I've been looking for a chance. If I try too hard, I become the focus of attention. You don't have
to worry, Dad. I'm still young and have plenty of time. I can take my time."
Jack was perfunctory to his father, who annoyed him every time by saying that.
But if he said he didn't like the job, his father would be furious and cut him off from all his wealth. In this
case, he could only play with his father again and again.
"Ok, let me know if there are difficulties, I will help you out."
"By the way, do you know Winnie well?"
Thomas turned the conversation to Winnie.
"Not very well. She used to work for our company, and now she is working for a small company. I don't
know anything else, except that she's a nice person."
"She is at the same age as me, divorced, with a daughter, a sister and an aunt."
When it came to Winnie, Jack had interest and told what he knew.
"Divorced? Where's his ex-husband?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Thomas did know the basic information about Winnie, but he ignored her ex-husband.
"I don't know. I just heard it from the company."
Jack had no more news and no one knew about her ex-husband.
"She did have divorce, otherwise she would not be involved with Brian."
It seemed that he should investigate her ex-husband, to see if he could learn more from this aspect.
"Be involved with Brian? Dad, what do you mean?"
Jack did not understand.
"You've been in the company so long, and you don't know that. Winnie was Brian's mistress before
Wendy came back, and their relationship is still there."
Thomas thought that Jack would know more than he did, but it was not the truth.
"You learned that from whom?"
Brian was visibly nervous. He had never heard such rumors in the company. How could Winnie be
Brian's mistress? Brian was not likely to be involved with a divorced woman.
"Everyone knows that. I really don't know whether you are intentional or not."
Thomas was angry. With such a loose mental state, how could he inherit the Bennet Group? If he
wanted to win over Brian, he must understand all his things, but he did not even know Brian’s important
weakness.
Alas......
Thomas sighed, got up and went back to his bedroom.
Jack sat alone on the sofa in the living room, thinking about facts he didn't want to believe.
How could such a good woman as Winnie become someone else's mistress?
It was the weekend. Winnie drove Luke to the suburbs. Megan at home was bored, so she followed
Winnie to send her brother.
On the way, the brake suddenly went failure, Winnie panicked at this moment.
Fortunately, the speed was not fast and there was very little traffic on this stretch. But something must
be done, or there will be an accident at the traffic lights.
As she had just talked to Leo on the phone with her headphones still in her ears, Winnie called Leo.
"My brake isn't working. What should I do to stop the car now?"
Winnie's voice was eager and panic, which made Leo nervous.
"Manual or automatic gear?"
Leo did not ask the reason. To stop the car as soon as possible was the most important.
"Integrated one."
Winnie knew little about cars, but she did know the gear.
"First turn on the double flashing lights, other cars will see the car and avoid you. Try to get to the
outside lane. Then switch to manual gear and gradually reduce the car. Take it easy, as long as you
slow down, you'll be all right."
Leo told her the method and comforted her.
"Remember, you have to control the steering wheel."
Leo added.
Winnie followed Leo's instructions, first turning on the double flashing lights, then switching to manual
gear, gripping the steering wheel and starting to slow down.
