Chapter 78 Being Abused at the Banquet
Winnie was not only beautiful, but also more beautiful when she danced. Once again, she attracted everyone's attention. These gazes were envious, or jealous, or appreciated, or worshiped. Only Brian looked angry.
From the beginning of dancing, he had been paying attention to whether Winnie was invited by anyone. What he was worried about still happened.
Brian couldn't remain his coolness as before. He looked so cold now. But in public, he could only endure his anger. He could only watch that Winnie was held by Leo and danced with Leo. They smiled so brightly and looked like really matched.
The more Brian saw it, the more angrier he was. The anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Finally, the song ended. When the people in the center of the dance floor hadn't left yet, the second song had already begun.
Brian directly blocked Winnie.
"Miss Winnie, may I have a dance with you?"
It seemed that he was asking, but the looks in his eyes looked so domineering.
Winnie hesitated. She could not refuse Brian in front of so many people. Besides, this was also an opportunity for their relationship to ease.
After Winnie signaled Leo to go back, she was taken to the center of the dance floor by Brian.
Brian held Winnie's waist a bit tighter, as if he wanted to embed Winnie into his body.
"Who are you trying to seduce when you dress like this? Those who are here today are all high-ranking officials. No matter which one you hook up, you will have no worries about your life anymore." Brian was attached to Winnie's ear and said sarcastically with a voice that only they could hear.
Winnie last hope disappeared suddenly. What could she expect from such a man who didn't care about her?
"I lose my job, but I have to live. Finding a rich man to cheat more money will definitely be better for me. By the way, I will send you my resignation letter by email tomorrow."
Winnie changed her breath and continued talking.
"If you are in a hurry, I can move to Leo's house first. If you are not in a hurry, I will return the house to you after I find the house."
Winnie didn't really want to move to Leo's house. The reason why she said this was deliberately to let her look less pitiful. She wanted to let Brian know that even if she had no job, she would have someone to take her in.
Although what she said was not her real thoughts, she just said it out. She thought she would feel less angry.
"Just give up Luke like this?"
Brian suddenly became a little confused and panicked. It was as if Winnie was saying goodbye to him, as if she would soon disappear out of his world.
Had he gone too far? Shouldn't he indulge his grandfather to force Luke to stay?
If Luke was with Winnie, he still had a reason to let Winnie stay.
"What if I don't give up?"
Winnie's hatred gradually rose. She was completely disappointed with Brian. No matter how he tempted her, she would not believe it.
"Then quickly hand in a resignation letter. Don't affect the future of the Bennet Group."
Brian finally said the hurtful words again, but he still did not have the courage to let Winnie move out immediately. He was afraid that Winnie would really move to Leo's house if he forced her too much. "Don't worry. I won't affect the Bennet Group."
Winnie answered Brian sadly. When she finished speaking, she suddenly found that Luke next to Albert was gone. Winnie panicked immediately.
She tried to leave to find Luke, but was stopped by Brian. She couldn't walk away at all.
"So many people are watching us. Don't embarrass me."
Brian said in a very cold voice. He thought that Winnie would leave him alone again. So he warned.
"I have something urgent to deal with."
Winnie frowned and said anxiously.
"Hold it on."
Brian insisted. He couldn't be embarrassed by her in public. Although he had seen the anxiety on Winnie's face, she was a liar whose acting skills were even better than those actresses. Even the look in her eyes might be fake.
"You..."
Fortunately, just when Winnie was about to continue to refute, the dance music ended.
After Winnie glared at Brian angrily, she quickly left.
Winnie eagerly looked for Luke while holding the mobile phone. She turned the mobile phone into the video mode. She had a bad feeling. Penny must be torturing Luke. Winnie not only wanted to rescue Luke, but also wanted to get all the evidence.
Winnie looked for the entire hall but couldn't find Luke. She became more and more anxious.
She walked out of the hall to look around, but she still didn't find Luke.
When she was passing the door of a safe exit, Winnie heard Penny's deliberately lowered voice coming from the corridor.
Although the voice was low, it couldn't conceal Penny's hideousness and mania.
Winnie gently opened the door to a gap and saw that Penny was hitting Luke's head with her hand, and her other hand began to pinch the inside of Luke's thigh.
"Your Dad is dancing with your shameless aunt. Since he doesn't care about my feelings, I won't care about your feelings. You will be responsible for everything your Dad does."
Penny said viciously, and hit Luke on the head fiercely.
Seeing the scene, Winnie was furious. She felt so heartbreak. She pushed the door hard, came to Penny, raised her hand to slap Penny.
"Penny, you actually hit such a small child."
Winnie couldn't care so much, and shouted angrily. Then she squatted down and hugged Luke trembling body.
"Auntie."
Luke's voice was so small, but he dared not cry. Because Penny was there.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Winnie checked Luke's head, and then checked the inner thighs. There was no trauma to the head, but the inner thigh had been bruised. Winnie could not stop her tears.
"Penny, damn it. Are you crazy? You dare to abuse such a small child in such a public place."
Winnie angrily scolded Penny.
"Winnie, what's wrong with you? I'm helping the child tidy up the clothes. Don't slander me."
Penny was startled with Winnie's appearance. She was so startled that she didn't react even after being slapped by Winnie. Later, she forced herself to calm down. Even if Winnie saw it, there was no evidence. Winnie couldn't do anything with her.
"You don't know what you are doing? A slap is not enough, isn't it?"
After Winnie finished speaking angrily, she quickly got up and slapped Penny's face again.
Winnie would feel a little better if Penny admitted it and apologized. But Penny still pretended to be innocent, which made Winnie so mad.
"You..."
"Penny, you deserve these two slaps. You are so mean."
Winnie's anger did not fade away because of two slaps. Her eyes were scarlet because of anger. She felt that her heart ached because of seeing Luke's bruises.
Seeing Luke being abused, these two slaps could not calm Winnie down.
"Winnie, don't go too far. You slander me. I'll let Brian avenge me."
Penny said viciously.
Then she picked up the phone to call Brian and was about to ask Brian to hold justice for her.
Penny thought that there was no surveillance and no evidence. If she said Winnie framed her, Brian would surely believe it. As for Luke, he dared not tell the truth. Although this idea was a bit risky, it could let Winnie be taught, and let Brian see Winnie clearly. Penny felt it worth.
The she took out the phone and started dialing the phone number.
"Auntie, don't make a scene. Today is a company celebration. Dad will be embarrassed."
Luke hurriedly said. Every sentence he said was for Brian, but every sentence hurt Winnie.
No matter who Penny looked for, Winnie was not afraid. Even if Brian came here, she could expose the matter.
However, Luke's remarks had to make Winnie reconsider. If the matter was getting worse, would it cause psychological harm to Luke?
Penny turned on speakerphone. She wanted Winnie to listen to how she explained the "facts".
At the same time, Winnie also took out her mobile phone. She showed the video she took just now, and spoke angrily.
"Open your shit eyes and see if this is evidence."
At this moment, the phone was connected. Brian's cold voice came from the phone.
"What is the matter?"
Penny couldn't hear Brian's voice. She just looked at the video in Winnie's phone in a panic.
No! How could Winnie have evidence?
Winnie came prepared and deliberately wanted to set Penny up.
"Speak."
Brian's impatient voice came from the phone again.
"Honey, I have a toothache. I have to go home first. I let Miss Winnie take care of Luke. You'll take him home later."
Penny made up a reason as quickly as possible, and then hung up.
"Winnie, I didn't expect you to be so insidious. I really underestimated you."
Penny gritted her teeth bitterly. If Winnie had the evidence, she would always worry about it, and it would be not good to her.
"I have no ways. To deal with people like you, I have to get the evidence by myself. Otherwise, you'll go too far."
Winnie was mad without showing any fears. Looking at Penny's angry and gloomy face, she also knew that the war between them was getting worse and worse. There was no room to ease. "Well, Winnie, that's not over."
Penny wanted to leave quickly and re-planed what to do next. After four years, Winnie was no longer the original Winnie. Penny must be cautious.
"Wait, Penny, I warn you, if I know that you abuse Luke again, don't blame me for showing this to Brian. You know what will happen to you better than anyone else."
Winnie warned Penny. She used the video to ensure the safety of Luke, and used the video to curb Penny's viciousness.
After hearing it, Penny didn't speak. She just looked at Winnie in disgust and then turned and left.
After Penny left, Luke finally couldn't help crying.
"Auntie, I'm so scared. Auntie, I want to go home with you."
Luke said while crying. The crying sound made Winnie feel heartbreak, as if her heart being held by a hand.
"Luke, don't cry. There won't be such a thing happening again in the future."
Winnie hugged Luke and comforted him. She clearly felt that Luke's body was still shaking because of fear. She felt ached again.
Until the end of the banquet, Winnie held Luke's hand all the time. Only by holding Luke's hand like this did Winnie feel at ease.¶¶¶¶¶¶
