Chapter 92 Asked Richard for Help
Chapter 92 Asked Richard for Help
Penny stayed awake all night. Why? Because Winnie told her that there were backups of the evidence.
If there were really backups in her computer, she would be still under her restraint, and she would be
threatened by Winnie all the time in the future.
What worried her most was the reaction of Brian. He had failed to restrain himself and began to fall in
love with Winnie. When he realized that he had fallen in love with Winnie, he would probably
terminated the contract.
Thinking of this, Penny became resentful and gritted her teeth. She wouldn't allow either such a thing to
happen or her efforts over the past four years go down the drain.
Believing that she couldn't await her doom, Penny made a phone call.
"Get Winnie's computer for me."
Penny got down to the business, not caring that the other person was still sleepy.
"What computer?"
Klara was still sleepy and still didn't understand why Penny called her suddenly.
"Last time, you failed to get her mobile phone. Now, get her computer for me. I'm sure that I can find
evidence in the computer. I'll drive Winnie away as long as I find evidence."
Penny didn't tell the truth to Klara because there would be a greater threat to her if one more person
knew it.
The reason why they could cooperate was that they had the same goal to drive Winnie away.
At the beginning, they agreed that Klara was responsible for stealing Winnie's mobile phone and Penny
would handle the rest of the matter. However, Klara failed to steal Winnie's mobile phone, and Penny
had to ask someone to rob Winnie of it herself.
Now, the backups were in the computer, so she had to ask Klara to get it for her.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Bennet, but I can't help you anymore."
Klara was finally awake and understood what Penny wanted her to do. Then, she rejected decisively.
"Why?"
Penny asked.
"Last time, Winnie saw me when I was searching her bag. Now she's very wary of me, so I don't have
any chance at all. Besides, I would lose my job if it was discovered."
Klara didn't want to continue to take risks anymore. Although she hated Winnie, she really dared not do
something that was against the law.
"Klara, you've done something similar before. It's too late for you to stop. If I tell Brian what you had
done, do you think you can keep what you have now?"
Penny threatened her. She would have no way to get Winnie's computer if Klara refused to help her.
Anyway, she couldn't send someone to the company to rob her of it.
"Your position is more important than mine. If you're not afraid of losing your position, I guess I don't
have to."
Klara knew that Penny would threaten. This was also a reason why she refused to help her again. It
was not too late to quit. Even if what she had done was discovered, Brian would forgive her.
At that time, Winnie mentioned her secret while Brian warned her because of Winnie. Then, she agreed
to cooperate with Penny out of anger.
After she calmed down and thought about it, she found it unwise for her to do so. Therefore, however
Penny tempted her, she wouldn't continue to do that.
"Well, Klara, you dare to threaten me. Well, wait and see. We'll know if Brian will be able to protect you
or me."
Penny hung up the phone angrily and had to give up the trick she had just thought of.
However, she had to do something now, otherwise it would be too late.
Penny thought for a long time and found that she could only ask her father for help.
She wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast, so she went to the headquarters of the Burns Group after she
dressed up.
In the chairman's office of the Burns Group.
"Why do you come here today?"
Richard put down the document and sat down on the sofa.
"Sit down."
Penny sat down after she put her bag on the tea table.
"There is something that I can't handle, so I come to ask for your help."
"What happened?"
Richard frowned. As he had known, Penny wouldn't come to find him if she didn't encounter anything
problem.
"There is a new female software engineer in Brian's company. It seems that Brian has fallen in love
with her. Now, she is a threat to me. I don't t know what to do."
Penny didn't tell him what happened four years ago, but described Winnie as the other woman.
"I've told you that your marriage could be in trouble. The tie between you and Brian is too weak. To give
birth to a child is the only way to consolidate your position."
Richard had known that something like this would happen long ago. He had mentioned it to Penny
many times, but she just didn't listen.
"I wanted to have a baby, but Brian disagreed. What can I do?"
Penny said helplessly and angrily.
They had been married for four years, but Brian had never even touched her. How could she have a
baby?
"If he disagrees, manage to get pregnant. Don't tell him when you're just pregnant. Several months
later, he can't let you have an abortion. If you can't not even manage to do that, how can you
consolidate your position? Could it be that you're going to just be a stepmother for the rest of your life?
Are you willing to let that brat get the Bennet Group?"
Richard's eyes were filled with desire. He wanted to gain profit from the Bennet Group. If Penny could
control it, it'll be more convenient for him to get benefits from the Bennet Group.
Although Brian wouldn't let it happen, it would be a different story if he got a successor.
"How is it possible that I'll just be a stepmother for the rest of my life? I hate that kid so much. Now,
there's the other woman. I'm at my wit's end."
Penny said helplessly. She never wanted to ask her father for help. She believed that she would trouble
anyone because Brian could help her. It never occurred to her that Brian would fall in love with another
woman and she couldn't drive that woman away without the help of others.
"Give me that woman's basic information to me and I'll handle this matter. Don't care about anything
else in the future. Manage to have a child as soon as possible."
When Richard said these words, the expression on his face was as sinister as that of Penny. It was
even more vicious than that of Penny.
'Besides, don't tell anyone about it. It's a secret between you and me."
Richard added. Penny was hot-headed, so he was afraid that she would leak it out.
Seeing that Richard agreed to help her, Penny was much relieved and then smiled. However, she
suddenly put on a malicious expression a moment later.
"Dad, if possible, teach that brat a lesson. Without him, my child would definitely get the Bennet
Group."
Penny said maliciously. What she wanted Richard to do wasn't just to give Luke a lesson. She just
couldn't speak it out too bluntly.
Richard frowned and thought for a moment.
"I'll consider it carefully. You go back first."
Richard didn't agree directly. After all, Luke was the only child of the Bennet family, so he had to think
twice before he decided to do something bad to him.
In the President's office of the Bennet Group.
Leo sat on the sofa and waited for Brian who was on the phone.
Since their companies contacted each other about cooperation, it was the first formal meeting between
Brian and Leo.
Leo looking around Brian's office and found that it was indeed a magnificent office. This matched the
character of Brian.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Johnson."
Brian finally hung up the phone and said in a cold and emotionless voice. He came close to the sofa
and sat down.
"It's all right. It's my honor to talk business with Mr. Bennet. It doesn't matter to wait a little while."
Different from Brian, Leo spoke in a gentle voice, looked modest and wasn't affected by personal
feelings.
"Well, let's talk business first."
Brian said coldly. He couldn't deal with Leo calmly because he would think of what Winnie said last
night when he saw Leo. Naturally, he frowned and his eyes became sharp.
"Ok. I've already provided the material for your company, but I'll give an overall explanation face-to-face
to you today. The mobile phone store owned by our company not only has chain stores in all parts of
our country, but also begin to have chain stores in other countries..."
Leo got down to the business directly. He understood what Brian meant.
If he wanted to talk business first, then he must want to talk about private matters later.
Brian was satisfied with the conditions of cooperation Leo put forward and the strength in sale that
Leo's company was proud of. In order to achieve a win-win situation, Brian agreed to cooperate with
Leo's company.
"We'll sign the contract after the lawyers draw it up. Now, we can talk about private matters."
Brian still said in a cold voice while looking at Leo with his deep dark eyes.
Leo was still relaxed and smiled calmly.
Since they had achieved cooperation, Leo didn't mind talking about private affairs. After all, Brian was
someone who was scrupulous in separating public from the private affairs and didn't let private affairs
affect work.
Most importantly, it could be said that there was a close connection in private matters between them.
"Ok, please, Mr. Bennet."
Leo said in a plain voice with a smile.
"What on earth happened between you, Penny and Winnie?"
Brian got down to the business directly.
Leo knew that he would ask it. He answered after thinking for a while.
"The three of us...No, to be exact, there should be four people involved. Daenerys was involved, too.
We met in a C Country's people's party in M Country occasionally. They three were studying there.
Then, I became Winnie's boyfriend."
"Not long after that, something happened at Winnie's family and she had to suspend her studies and go
home first. After that, Penny told me that Winnie was a liar, so I broke up with Winnie. Because of
anger, I became the boyfriend of Penny. You should know what happened afterwards. She broke up
with me after her family found her. Later..."
Leo stopped. Later, Penny married Brian. Brian knew that and it was unnecessary for Leo to tell him
that.
Seeing that Brian didn't have too much reaction, Leo kept silent. Then he went on.
"I got together with Winnie for about three months. During that time, we were very happy. When I got
together with Penny, I weren't happy at all. They were totally different from each other. Penny wasn't
my ideal girlfriend, so I didn't try hard to keep her when she left me."
Leo felt annoyed after he couldn't help recalling what happened many years ago. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"You still love Winnie even if she lies to you?"
Brian was talking about the present. He could tell that the memory of the past was very important to
Leo. Seeing the happiness he showed, Brian became angry.
Leo was stunned for a while, stopped smiling and looked at Brian with serious eyes.
"Yes, I've been loving her these years. At that time, I was so impetuous that she left me. I should have
trusted her. Even if she was a liar, she must have her reasons."
