Chapter 116 Ten Million Dollars or a Hundred Million Dollars
Brian pulled his already messy hair, feeling very upset. Why did he drink so much wine? Why did he lose control of himself and do such a thing after drinking?
Who was she? She was Penny, the person he hated the most. Why did he just sleep with her?
Looking at the clothes, underwear, underpants and tissues scattered on the ground, it was difficult for Brian to deny what had happened.
On workdays, Winnie deliberately dodged Brian in fear that she would accidentally expose her emotion. It seemed that Brian also dodged her. In short, they worked on the same floor, but they hadn't met for several days.
These days, Brian had been trying to figure out a way to deal with Penny. He had to handle this matter well before he seen Winnie.
In the evening, Brian drove home. Knowing that Brian was back, Penny was excited and cooked a lot of delicious dishes. However, Brian felt it disgusting to see Penny and was not in the mood to eat. He asked all housemaids to go out, leaving only him and Penny in the living room.
"Let's put an end to what happened that day. Tell me what compensation you want."
Brian said coldly, showing no affection. There was obvious distaste on his face.
"Brian, I've said that I'll be responsible for it myself and that I don't want any compensation. Just let it go and don't mention it again."
Penny said in a seemingly natural and tactful way, but she didn't feel that way.
It made her heart ache to see distaste look on Brian's face and hear the tone that was hurtful. But she couldn't show it because she didn't want Brian to hate her more.
"I can't let it go. So far, I don't know if I really slept with you. You're the only person who knows the fact. Since you said that I did, I have to deal with it. Whether you want 10 million dollars or 100 million dollars, just tell me. After you receive the money, don't mention it to anyone and forget what had happened that day."
Brian said coldly and maliciously. Until now, he couldn't remember what he had done that day. Therefore, he wanted Penny to forget it completely, too.
"Brian, you know that I don't need money. You can deal with other women with money, but I'm different from them. I'm your wife. I'm..."
"Shut up. People believe that you're my wife, but you know that you aren't."
Penny tried to convince him, tried to perform well and tried her best to please Brian, but Brian wasn't touched at all. He interrupted Penny coldly and decisively. "Penny, do you think that I don't know your scheme? You'll never be Mrs. Bennet. I warn you. You either take the money or have nothing."
Brian stood up angrily. Seeing that Brian was stubborn, he hated her even more.
In his view, only woman like Winnie who understood situation could be with him. And, the sooner he left a scheming woman like Penny, the better.
"Brian..."
"You have two days to consider. You either tell me how much money you need or give up the scheme you have in your mind. Otherwise, you'll regret it one day." After saying that coldly, Brian directly left, leaving Penny who was very angry and resentful.
Seeing that Brian leave ruthlessly and then looking at the dinner she prepared carefully, she couldn't breathe as if there were something weighed on her mind like a big stone. Suddenly, she turned around, came close to the table quickly and angrily pushed all the delicious dishes to the ground. Instantly, there was the sound of smashing dishes.
But she couldn't vent her anger and resentment in this way.
Penny broke things in the empty house for quite a while, after which she sat feebly on the sofa in the living room. Looking at the mess and thinking about Brian's being ruthless, Penny began to scheme again. Brian wanted to put an end to it with money, which would make Penny lose her only chance.
In four years, it was the first time for her to sleep in Brian's bed. If she failed to get something from it, her sufferings in the past four years would be in vain.
Now, she understood something. She didn't just want Brian to love her. She wanted more. However, her present priority was to consolidate her place. To achieve that, she need to have a child.
It meant that she had to get pregnant in this month.
Thinking of this, Brian went back to her room, got changed and drove out.
Penny asked Daniel to meet her in the bar where they met for the first time. This time, they stayed in a private box.
"Mrs. Bennet, you promised one thing last time. Why hasn't you done it? I've been waiting for it."
After drinking off a glass of wine, Daniel asked.
"I haven't finished that thing yet. When I get everything done, I'll definitely contact you."
"Daniel, I don't understand. What's so good about her? You should hang up on her."
Penny asked in a sinister way.
After she promised him that last time, she had been planning. The reason why she didn't do anything was that she failed to find the right person to do it. In her opinion, she must do bad things in a way that wouldn't cause future troubles. Therefore. She thought it very important to find a reliable person to do that for her.
"I don't know. Maybe it's the desire to conquer that makes me hang up on her. If I have never been able to get it, I would try to get it until I succeed, no matter what price I'll pay."
Daniel told Penny his greed diplomatically.
When Penny asked him what was good about Winnie, he wanted to say that Winnie was beautiful, elegant, gentle and generous. In his opinion, even Mrs. Bennet was overshadowed by Winnie.
He kept it to himself to avoid hurting Penny's self-esteem. Which man wouldn't want such an almost perfect woman?
"Daniel, think it over. No matter it will succeed or not, you're likely to be put in jail. Does it deserve it?"
Penny asked again because she had come up with a new idea.
If Daniel said yes, she could use him.
"Yes. I'm not afraid of being put in jail. It doesn't matter that I spend a few years in prison. As long as I can taste it, I'm willing to be put in jail."
Daniel said in an obscene way and didn't take spending years in jail seriously at all. He was not afraid of anything. Now, Penny colluded with him. If he was arrested, Penny had to save him. Otherwise, he would tell the police that Penny was also involved in it.
"Since you said so, I'll help you. Wait for my good news. Cheers."
After hearing Daniel answer with certainty, Penny realized something. Since there was a person who was willing to do that and wasn't afraid of going to court, why couldn't she do that?
The next morning.
The sun was about to rise and it was still cool. There were two people lying naked in a room in a hotel. They couldn't feel the wind at all.
Daniel turned over and sobered up a little. When he opened his eyes slowly, he smiled.
Brian, you protected Winnie, but neglected your wife.
I failed to sleep with Winnie, but I had slept with your wife. Having had an affair with such a super-rich woman, why should he work? If he could find some evidence that Penny had done something bad, he would be able to live a wealthy and happy life.
It seemed that the Lord treated everyone fairly. He also believed these words: when the Lord closes one door, somewhere else he opens a window. He didn't get Winnie who had nothing but beauty. However, he got Penny who was very rich. It was worth it.
Two days later, to make Brian feel assured, Penny took the initiative to come to find Brian.
In Brian's office.
"Brian, I have made a decision. If you only want to deal with it with money, give me 10 million dollars. After I receive it, I'll forget what happen that day."
Penny spoke first. After hearing what she said, Brian's expression softened. Seeing that, Penny became furious. Was him in such a hurry to dissociate himself from her?
The more he acted like this, the more she wanted do that. She would like to see how dark Brian's face could be at that time.
"Remember what I told you that day. Don't mention it and forget it."
Brian said coldly with anger in his eyes. Penny must have understood the situation before she agreed to deal with this issue with money. Then, he could handle it with ease. "Don't worry. I will forget it and won't tell anyone else about it."
She would forget what she should forget and remembered what she shouldn't forget.
"I'll transfer the money to you now. I have to work."
Brian said in a cold and angry voice with indifference in his eyes. He didn't even bother to put on an expression. In his opinion, Penny didn't deserve him doing so.
After Penny came in the office and before she went out, Brian got rid of her with just a few words. After that, Penny had much hatred but had no way to vent. Just at this moment, she saw Winnie go into her office. Then, she came in Winnie's office after her.
Winnie had hardly sat down in the office chair when the door of the office was suddenly opened and then closed again.
Penny put on a triumphant expression and hid all the anger.
"Did you see the video I sent to you? How did you feel?"
Penny provoked Winnie. Seeing Penny act like this, Winnie naturally wouldn't show weakness. Since she had been Brian's lover, she was not afraid that Penny would know it.
"Yes. How was it possible that I didn't see such an ironic slogan? Your husband? He never admits that he's your husband in my presence. Besides, do you think that it's worth showing off? According to your opinion, you're her wife. Isn't it common for you to sleep with him? Why did you show it off to me? Could it be that it was the first time for you to sleep with him?"
Winnie said these words calmly and didn't said any dirty words. However, Penny felt that she was openly humiliated and was hurt a lot.
"Winnie, you are a shameless bitch! You openly seduce my husband. I'll make you pay for it and regret having provoked me!" Penny warned angrily. She was so annoyed by Winnie that her eyes were red. If possible, she would kill Winnie now.
"Penny, don't talk in such a dreadful way. After I came back, I wouldn't anything I had done if you hadn't done those things. It's you, who are afraid that I will retaliate against you, who take the initiative to provoke me. Just go home and think about what you have done, and wonder if everything you did was very bad. Remember that you will pay the price sooner or later after you do too many bad things." Winnie still spoke in a neither quick nor slow manner, but Penny became furious after hearing these words.
Penny suddenly said in cold voice with angry eyes. When Winnie wasn't paying attention, she took the opportunity to pick up Winnie's laptop and drop it directly on the ground, making a loud sound instantly. Then, she was still unsatisfied and stepped on it with force many times.
"How dare you provoke me? I would like to see how long you can be a poser. Winnie, remember that you'll have a same end as this computer if you don't stop."
Penny stepped on the computer arrogantly and warned her in an angry voice. After that, she felt much surefooted.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
