Chapter 76 A Matter of Principle.
Chapter 76 A Matter of Principle.
Felix said in a low voice. Although his tone was not very sharp, but his look revealed something
strange, and then he changed his attitude.
"But Luke won't go back, you take Megan back."
After speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Winnie.
"Chairman, we should have a talk. I don't understand why you don't let me bring Luke back?"
Winnie was obviously a little anxious, and she felt she couldn't help it.
Felix stopped and turned back.
"I don't understand why you insist on taking care of Luke. Can you give me a reason to convince me?"
Felix didn't answer the question.
"I... Chairman, I have already said the reason. I think Luke will be more sunny and happier on my side,
which is of great benefit to his healthy growth. We have to consider it from the perspective of children."
Winnie was stunned for a moment, and finally responded.
"Why are you worrying about our child from the Bennet family? You can't judge where the better place
for his growth is. You can't convince me with your reason, please go back, Miss Winnie."
Felix gave her marching order indifferently. Without giving Winnie a chance to explain, he went straight
back to the study.
Winnie had no choice but to leave with Megan even though she was desperate.
After exiting the gate of the villa, the two got into the car.
Winnie was still thinking about how to persuade Felix, when Megan suddenly spoke.
"Mummy, Brother Luke was sent to his mummy in the morning."
A word from Megan caused Winnie, who was anxious, collapse instantly. She was taken aback for a
second, and quickly took out her phone and looked through the video.
In the video, Luke was doing homework alone in the bedroom. Seeing Luke was safe at this time,
Winnie was relieved.
She began to check the security tape, and put the phone away when there was nothing unusual.
"Mummy, what's wrong with you?"
Megan sat behind and couldn't see Winnie's video. She just felt that her mummy was suddenly silent,
so she was a little worried.
"It's okay, we will go home now."
Winnie answered perfunctorily and drove away.
The only person who can solve this matter now was Brian, and she needed to see him.
However, Brian didn't answer the phone, and he was not in the company. She called Albert to find out
that he was at home.
But she couldn't go to find him even if he didn't answer the phone. After all, Penny was at home.
But it was okay for Brian to be at home, at least Luke was safe.
On Monday.
It was Winnie's first day at work after being injured. She came early.
She was dealing with the backlog of work during this time, as checked the time and waited for Brian's
arrival.
The waiting time was agonizing, and finally it was time for Brian to go to work.
Winnie knocked on the door of Brian's office with files.
After getting permission, Winnie pushed the door to enter.
First, she put the files in her hand on Brian's desk, and then she spoke.
"Mr. Bennet, Chairman does not allow Luke to stay in my house. I want you to persuade him."
Winnie didn't talk about official business, and went straight to the subject.
"This is working time, don't talk about personal matters."
Brian refused indifferently, then sat down and began to look through the documents.
Just seeing Winnie still look embarrassed, his anger ignited inexplicably. He didn't explode because of
his patience.
"I won't see you during get off work hours, so I can only say it during work hours."
Winnie was firm. No matter what Brian's attitude was, she would take up working time.
Brian didn't say a word, but his dark bright eyes shot at Winnie sharply.
But his warning had no effect at all for Winnie, and she was not afraid at all.
"Mr. Bennet, this is something we have gotten agreement. Luke must stay with me."
Winnie's tone remained firm. Even if Brian's eyes were like a sharp sword that could behead her, she
was not afraid for Luke.
"Yes, we had a deal. But it's not me who broke the agreement. Go to Chairman and don't bother me
here."
Brian was annoyed at Winnie's disobedience, increased the volume and said in a very indifferent tone.
"I have already found Chairman, and he didn't agree with me before I came to you. Although you did
not break the agreement, but I have given you the newly developed software, you have the obligation
to help me."
Winnie knew that she was a little unreasonable. However, she was not the only one who was
unreasonable, and she had no choice but to speak like this.
"How much the software is, I'll give you money. Don't always use software to threaten me."
Brian threw the file in his hand on the table, the sound piercing his ears.
"Mr. Bennet, it's not a matter of money. It's a matter of principle. You can't go back on your word."
Winnie held the attitude of seeing death as home, even if Brian demolished the whole building, she
would say what she should say.
"Winnie, don't push your luck. No one dares to talk to me like this."
Brian finally couldn't help it, and didn't know how to fight back, so he could only make himself angry
without restraint.
However, his words were like icebergs in the Arctic, not only cold but also capable of piercing people's
hearts.
Winnie showed mocking chuckle, and she only saw Brian's purpose now. He didn't help her because
he didn't want Luke to stay with her.
"Mr. Bennet, in this case, I have nothing to say. Our current contract has not been signed yet. I can only
resign and return to the original company."
Winnie saw no hope, and could only threaten him.
"Whatever you want, you are not the only person who can program software in such a big country. You
are not the only talent. Without you, the Bennet Group will continue to develop."
"Get out."
Brian scolded furiously, unexpectedly Winnie threatened him with work because of this matter. He
hated the threats of others most, and it was his kindness that he didn't make Winnie pay the price.
Winnie was completely disappointed and desperate for Brian.
Looking at his face like an iceberg, looking at the dismissal in his dark and cold eyes, Winnie knew that
Brian would not help her, and knew that Brian didn't care about her in any way.
"Well, since Mr. Bennet said that, I have nothing to say. Mr. Bennet, since you don't care about
anything about me, you shouldn't ask me if I care about you that day."
Winnie left such a disappointing sentence and turned and left.
Back at the office, she left the company with her own bag.
She was filled with pain, and there was no one who could help her. Winnie drove to the beach to avoid
suffocation.
The infinite breadth of the sea could accommodate all her troubles.
Winnie had no way at all at this time, and Brian refused to help her solve it. This matter was even more
difficult to handle.
Luke's safety would not be guaranteed if time delayed.
Luke's mood had only improved a bit recently. If he was being abused, he may not be able to hold on to
it.
But Winnie could only be in a hurry and couldn't find the next person who could help her.
Now she had a fight with Brian and lost her job. It was even more difficult to protect Luke.
Winnie was annoyed that she shouldn't went against Brian directly. As long as she said something soft
and nice, the situation may be different now.
Winnie was at the beach and didn't go back until the time to pick up the child.
She looked forward to seeing Luke in the kindergarten, and then asked Luke to go home and fight with
Brian. However, Winnie's hopes came to naught once again, and she did not see Luke.
"Mummy, Brother Luke was picked up at noon."
Megan saw Winnie, the first thing she said was about Luke. It could be seen that Megan was also very
sad.
"Was he picked up? Who picked him up?"
Winnie couldn't calm down and asked in a flurry.
"His mummy picked him up. She said she wanted to take Brother Luke to go shopping for some
company celebration."
Megan repeated what she had heard.
"Celebration?"
Hearing what Megan said, Winnie remembered the invitation letter she saw at the company in the
morning.
During her stay in the hospital, the phone had been successfully launched and sold well. In order to
celebrate a good start, the Bennet Group prepared a celebration banquet.
Did Penny take Luke to the celebration party?
Thinking of this, Winnie hurriedly opened her bag, rummaging through the invitation card. Fortunately,
the invitation with hope lay in Winnie's bag.
Even if she resigned, she would attend this celebration banquet because this was the only chance to
meet Luke.
Taking Megan home, they both were listless along the way. When they got off the car and closed the
door when she arrived at community, she saw Daenerys getting out of the car.
"Are you busy today?"
Winnie took Megan's hand and came to Daenerys' car.
"No, I come to you to dinner after getting off work on time."
Daenerys said happily. She had been working overtime for many days. Today she could finally have a
rest. It was natural to be happy.
But the next moment she discovered that the emotions of Winnie and Megan were not right, and one
person was missing.
"What's wrong? What about Luke?"
"Brother Luke..."
As soon as Daenerys asked, Megan couldn't help crying, and couldn't say anything next.
Winnie handed the bag to Daenerys, bending over to pick Megan up.
"Okay, don't cry, Mummy will definitely get Brother Luke back."
After comforting Megan, Winnie told the matter to Daenerys.
She didn't say it carefully, because she was afraid that Megan heard something that she shouldn't
know.
Today's dinner was a bit simpler than usual, because Winnie felt upset because of Luke's matter, and
had no intention of making a big meal.
Dinner was on the coffee table in the living room, and the two women chatted while drinking. After
Megan finished eating and went to the study to do her homework, Winnie explained the matter in detail.
"How can Brian break his promise?"
After listening to Winnie's account of the whole thing, Daenerys was angry.
Although Brian was indifferent, Daenerys thought he was a real man. She would inevitably be
disappointed as he did such a thing. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"He can say whatever he wants, no one can control it."
Winnie looked at the wine glass and sighed, helpless.
"Winnie, just tell Brian about Penny's abuse of Luke. I don't believe that he will let the Luke stay with
Penny after he knows that Luke is abused."
Since Brian was so unkind, Daenerys felt that this was the only way to solve the problem.
"No, one is that Luke won't let me say it. The other is that it may not be effective."
Winnie directly denied Daenerys's opinion.
She sighed again and continued.
"Penny seems very important to Brian. Even if I tell him, Brian may not punish Penny. If this is the
result, Luke's future will be even more difficult."
