Chapter 63 Showing off Something that Wasn’t True
Winnie gave Penny a contemptuous glance, but regretted it immediately. She felt disgusting when she looked at her.
"I've told you not to disturb me. Now that you win Brian back, you should prevent him from finding other women and make him love you. Don't show off to me."
"Why should I not show off? How can I not show off after I beat you again? Winnie, this is the reality. You are doomed to be the loser when you compete with me all your life."
Penny kept saying. She couldn't calm down her anger before she spoke it out.

Winnie found it bored and gave her a glance, and she didn't say anything. It wasn't that she didn't hate Penny. She just didn't want to become an impolite person like Penny after finding that Penny was acting like a clown now.
Seeing that Winnie keep silent, Penny thought that Winnie was afraid of her, looking more triumphant.
"Brian not only was back together with me, but he also decided to marry me. He said he would hold a most terrific wedding ceremony for me."
In order to get more sense of joy, Penny began to show off something that wasn't true.
Hearing this, Winnie couldn't help feeling sad. However, she told herself that she should show indifference when Penny said such words.
"Most importantly, Brian asked me to give birth to a baby for him. This time, I'll see how you can ruin my family."
Penny continued to say something untrue. She was happy when she saw Winnie's sullen face. However, she forgot that one was bound to have a slip of the tongue if he talked too much.
When Winnie heard her mention child, she couldn't stand it any longer however much she could endure. She finally had a reaction, turning around and stared at Penny with sharp eyes.
"What are you talking about? Giving birth to a baby for him? Don't you already have Luke? Why do you talk as if you were going to give birth to a baby for the first time? Did you say something you shouldn't say by accident?"
Winnie asked Penny, and Penny was unprepared for it.
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say anything that I shouldn't say. I meant that I am going to have a second child."
There wasn't any triumphant expression in Penny's eyes. Instead, there was panicky and unconfident expression in her eyes.
"Are you sure you that you won't abuse your second child?"
This time, it was Winnie who was pushing Penny. The words she said and the questions she asked were much sharper than Penny's. Every word she said was to the point. "Winnie, I warn you not to talk nonsense. It's normal for a mom to beat and scold her child a few times when she was educating her child. Don't describe me as a stepmother." Penny continued to let her gaze wander. When she looked at Winnie's eyes, she panicked because she felt that Winnie knew something.
"Are you really his mother? Are you sure that you gave birth to Luke?"
Winnie was not going to let Penny evade this issue and continued to ask.
"I...I gave birth to him. Winnie, what do you mean? I suggest that you should not to gossip, or I'll let you pay for it."
Penny warned Winnie because she somewhat couldn't deal with her.
"I don't want to say anything. Penny, you should know me well since we were best friends. I never gossip. I only talk about fact."
Winnie put on a strange smile, which made Penny even uneasy.
"You..."
"I have a question for you since you gave birth to Luke. Luke was born on January 23rd of solar calendar. Ten months before this date, you seemed to be abroad with Leo and don't know Brian. Is this child..." Winnie said thoughtfully, but saw Penny's face darkened instantly.
"Winnie, couldn't I have a premature birth? You're just a scheming bitch and you talk so unkindly."
Penny couldn't help getting angry. How could she carelessly walk into the trap Winnie had set for her? Originally, she had intended to humiliate Winnie once, but she was counterattacked by Winnie and almost told her the fact.
"Oh, you had a premature birth. No wonder you give birth to Luke on the date that you should not had according to the date of your pregnancy. It seems that I've thought too much about it. I'm sorry." This time Winnie was triumphant.
If she continued this topic, Penny would definitely break down. Winnie had already showed Penny mercy by stopping here. She hoped that Penny would not be so triumphant in the future; she hoped that Penny would not be so arrogant in the future; and she hoped that Penny would no longer come to provoke her in the future.
Penny glowered at Winnie and wanted to take revenge on her now.
"Winnie, don't be complacent too early. You'll pay for it in the future. I swear that I'll bring you down."
After saying these words, Penny pushed the door open and wanted to leave. At this moment, Winnie must do something, otherwise Penny would absolutely make trouble for her.
"Penny, remember that I'll go to ask Brian whether you had a premature birth or not if you dare to come to disturb me again."
Penny did grew tense with Winnie's words. She angrily turned around, glowered at Winnie and then left after slamming the door.
Penny got on her car and drove away. While driving, she thought about Winnie's warning and the expression in her eyes. It seemed that Winnie had known everything.
Winnie now doubted whether Luke was her son or not. Winnie must suspect that Luke was Leo's son when she considered his birthday.
However, it was easy to know the fact and Winnie just needed to take a paternity test for Luke and Leo.
Then, after Winnie knew that Luke wasn't the son of Leo, how should she explain? If Winnie publicized it, Brian would definitely say that it was all her fault. Then, she would lose her position.
The more Penny thought, the more flustered and angrier she became. She had to deal with Winnie as soon as possible, otherwise she would be in great trouble.
After being warned by Winnie, Penny really stopped disturbing her for a few days. These days, without the disturbance of Brian and Penny, Winnie began to live a normal life at last.
Brian continued to avoid meeting with Winnie. When he met Winnie occasionally, he treated her as air just like what he had said. Although Winnie still felt uncomfortable, she could endure the sadness as long as she could live a normal life.
Winnie got off work after she cleared away. When she came to the lift, Brian happened to come out of his office. Unexpectedly, he was also accompanied by a charming woman.
Winnie knew this woman. She was a very popular star recently named Stella Lee. Winnie didn't know when Brian began to socialize with stars and felt puzzled.
They came to the lift together. Brian still ignored Winnie, as if she were air. However, Winnie couldn't ignore Brian in the company. After all, he was her boss. "Mr. Bennet."
As usual, Winnie greeted him and Brian said nothing in reply.
Winnie had been used to the deliberate neglect of Brian and didn't speak anymore.
They entered the lift together, after which Winnie consciously stood at the end of the lift.
At this time, the star couldn't help doing something.
She took the initiative to hold Brian's arm and said in a sweet voice.
"Mr. Bennet, what about having dinner together tonight?"
"OK."
Brian agreed readily. He didn't speak in a voice as cold as he used to.
And at this moment, after hearing his answer, Stella's hand moved downward and took Brian's hand directly.
Winnie was stunned by what she heard and saw. Their relationship developed too fast, and Brian's transformation was unusual.
If she remembered correctly, Brian had asked her to be his girlfriend not long ago. She felt that she could still hear his voice and feel his kiss. She remembered clearly the scene when they were so close to each other. However, Brian got a new girlfriend now.
At this moment, Winnie was both angry and sad, not knowing why Brian changed so quickly.
Winnie's face darkened. She looked away, neither watching them nor hearing what they said. Since she was unwilling to be Brian's girlfriend, she was not qualified to hinder him from finding a girlfriend. Winnie went out of the lift at the ground floor. This time she didn't greeted Brian who was still in the lift for fear of disturbing them.
Getting on her car, Winnie was so angry that she honked the horn with great force. She didn't gather her wits until she heard the shrill sound. Brian had nothing to do with her. It was Penny, not her, that should be angry.
Winnie drove to pick up her two children and then drove home. In the parking lot of the residential quarter she lived in, she met Leo.
"You seem to come back early today."
Winnie greeted Leo who wasn't far away.
"Yes. I didn't have to work overtime, so I went to the supermarket and bought some food."
As he spoke, Leo took out the food he had bought from the trunk.
"Winwin, I'm free today. Why don't you come to my home for dinner with your two kids?"
Leo happily invited her. The reason why he bought so many food was that he wanted to invite Winnie to have dinner with him. For the time being, he couldn't help Winnie. The only thing he could do to make himself feel at ease was to cook for her, so that Winnie didn't need to cook and had more time to rest.
"Great. Thank you. I'll help you cook after I get changed at home."
Winnie didn't stand on ceremony and directly agreed.
Today, she was a little depressed, and she really wanted to have a drink with someone to vent her sadness.
"You don't need to help me. It'll be better for me to cook alone. You can just sit there and wait for the dinner."
It was obvious that Leo was considerate. Winnie unconsciously thought of Brian. If he could cook for her, she must be very...It was impossible. Winnie began to think about something that was impossible to happen again.
"Well, I'll go home and wait first. Let me help you with these food."
Winnie came close to Leo and offered to help.
"You don't have to. I couldn't be said to be a man if I need a woman to carry food as light as these."
Leo joked, and it was very considerate for him to do so.
After coming back home, Winnie got changed and washed off her makeup. After a short rest, she came to Leo's house with her two children.
They began to have dinner.
Looking at the delicious dishes, Winnie felt much better. She couldn't help wondering that Leo would be a good friend if he didn't stand with Penny.
The two kids kept eating without saying a word, maybe because they were hungry or the dishes were too delicious.
Winnie was happy at this.
"You see, Leo, the dishes you cooked are so delicious. Kids like them."
Winnie praised Leo.
"Really? Have some more food if it's delicious."
Leo was very pleased. It was worthwhile for him to cook as long as they liked the dishes.
"Well, I've eaten a lot. If I eat so much every night, I'll be fat in a month."
Winnie joked and the two kids also laughed.000☐☐☐
