Chapter 81 Ask the Chairman for Help
Winnie was full of anxious at this time, but couldn't find a way to vent it. She was so heartbreak that she almost suffocated to death but couldn't help at all.
She had made all the calls she could think of, but no one could help her, which made Winnie once again felt the despair which was like that time when she lost her parents. At this time, she forced herself to calm down, and then called Butler Lowe.
"Lowe, please let the Chairman answer the phone."
Winnie's voice was too anxious which made Lowe shocked.
"It's night. The Chairman has already gone to bed."
Butler Lowe had already received Felix's orders, so he refused directly.
"Lowe, please, it's about Luke. I can't find anyone but ask the Chairman for help."
Winnie begged, crying helplessly.
Butler Lowe also realized something wrong. Because in his eyes, Winnie was always sunny and confident and he had never seen that she was so anxious.
Butler Lowe felt that something bad happened and then he quickly gave the phone to Felix.
"What's the matter?"
Felix's voice was too serious. He did not hear Winnie's panic and anxious voice.
"Mr. Felix, please help Luke. He is being abused now. Please. I can't do anything about it."
Winnie tried her best to plead Felix.
"What did you say? Make it clear."
The matter was related to Luke, so Felix frowned.
"It's too late. Grandpa, you call Penny first and ask her to send Luke to your house. Save Luke first."
"I'm coming to your house now. I'll explain it clearly to you later. Grandpa, please trust me this time and save Luke as soon as possible."
Winnie had already decided. She had to tell Felix about Luke's abuse by Penny. She couldn't bear it anymore.
The consequences of enduring it could only be worse for the child. Luke could only suffer more.
Winnie's bitter pleading finally worked. Maybe Felix still trusted her very much. Winnie heard Felix's cold command.
"Call Penny and ask her to send Luke here right away."
After Felix ordered, he continued talking to Winnie.
"You come to my house now. Give me an explanation."
After hung up, Winnie did not immediately drive forward to the Johnson's villa, but found the video with her trembling hands again.
At this time, the screen was completely dark. Without thinking about it, she knew that Luke was locked into the warehouse again. However, at this time, Winnie did not hear any voice from Luke, which made her panic even more.
Winnie tried to call Luke's name, but to no avail. She held back the fury and drove towards the Johnson's villa.
She vowed to herself that she would not spare Penny, nor would she be tolerant of Penny at all. She would fight with Penny to the end.
After Penny finished hitting Luke, she felt much better. Since Brian did not come back tonight, she planned to lock Luke in the warehouse overnight. Anyway, Brian didn't like the home and didn't like her. He jus liked Winnie. So Penny could only vent her anger on Luke.
Brian indeed didn't come back tonight, but Penny didn't expect Felix would call her. He insisted on seeing Luke now.
This made Penny a little flustered. She hurried to the warehouse to get the child out.
She checked Luke carefully. Luckily, she knew which part she should hit and which part she shouldn't hit. After grooming and changing clothes for Luke, he didn't seem to be hit at all.
But she still warned Luke to prevent him from talking nonsense.
"Luke, you can't tell anyone about today's affairs. If you tell anyone about it, I won't beat you next time. I will kill you directly."
Luke's eyes were hollow. He had no reactions.
"When you see your great grandfather, you can't tell him anything. If you dare to tell him, I will kill you and Winnie."
Speaking of Winnie, Penny's emotions became even more agitated. Her voice was so louder.
This sudden roar made Luke tremble with fright. He couldn't help but keep nodding. He held tightly the toy bear in his arms. At this time, the only thing he could lean on was this stuffed toy. However, Penny didn't expect that everything she did was recorded by this bear, including her mean warnings just now.
Winnie rushed to the Johnson's villa, but Luke hadn't arrived yet. She waited restlessly for Luke in the living room, not in the mood to explain the situation to Felix.
Fortunately, Butler Lowe, who had been waiting outside, brought Luke in.
Luke had been silent all the time. He didn't expect to see Winnie at great grandpa's house. When he saw Winnie, he threw himself into Winnie's arms and cried loudly.
"Auntie... I..."
Luke cried bitterly. He was venting out of his grievance.
Winnie couldn't help holding Luke and cried out.
"You can cry. Don't bear it. Auntie is here."
Winnie encouraged Luke to vent loudly and let him vent all the fear so as not to leave a shadow in his life. At the same time, she blamed herself for failing to protect Luke well.
Luke buried himself in Winnie's arms, crying sadly. He was unable to speak a word.
He thought he would stay in the warehouse for one night, and thought he would die slowly in a terrifying environment. But finally, he saw his Auntie. This was God's favor for him and Auntie's love for him. Seeing the two people crying sadly and painfully, Felix also felt so sad. Although he still didn't know what was going on, he could feel Luke's dependence on Winnie.
Winnie held Luke and cried for a long time before she reluctantly stopped. She wiped off Luke's tears while comforting him.
"Luke, good boy. This little thing can't defeat Luke. You'll be optimistic as before in the future, right?"
When Winnie was comforting Luke, she couldn't help sobbing. Seeing Luke's face full of fears and his red and swollen eyes because of crying, Winnie felt so heartbreak
All this made her ached.
Luke did not speak, but nodded. His eyes were still a little dull. It could be seen that he had not recovered from the shock.
"Luke, Auntie will take you home later. You can play with Megan and never leave Auntie again, okay?"
Although Felix had not yet agreed to let Luke go with her, this was the only way to appease Luke. Besides, no matter what method she had to use, even if she had to kowtow, she had to take Luke away. Sure enough, Winnie knew Luke best. After she finished saying that, Luke had an obvious reaction.
"Well, I want to go to Auntie's house. I don't want to go to Daddy's house anymore."
Luke was staring at Winnie in fear and with hope, for fear that what Winnie said was fake.
"Well, Luke, don't be afraid. Auntie will definitely take you home."
Winnie's tears fell down again. She felt so guilt when she saw his panic.
"Luke, can you go to play with Lowe for a while? I have a few words to talk with great grandpa. Don't go to bed. Wait for me."
She couldn't let Luke hear the conversation between her and Flexi. If Luke heard it and saw it again, it would be second hurt to him.
Butler Lowe walked over and held Luke's hand. Winnie said to Lowe.
"Lowe, don't let Luke go to sleep. He has just been frightened. It is easy to have nightmares. Bother you."
Winnie carefully and gently said. It was not like an aunt's love to a child. In Felix's eyes, it was more like a mother's care for her son. "Don't worry."
Butler Lowe gave Winnie a positive answer before taking Luke away. Only Winnie and Felix were left in the living room.
"Go ahead. It's your turn to explain."
Felix said in a deep voice. He had just observed Luke. There was nothing unusual except for fear of panic. It was a bit inconsistent with Winnie's strong reaction.
"Mr. Felix, look at the video on my phone. You will understand after watching it."
Winnie said. She found out the mobile phone video and placed it in front of Felix.
The picture started with Brian leaving, and then Penny went down to block Luke who was about to go upstairs, then the toy bear in Luke's hand fell to the ground. Finally, Luke was pushed to the ground, followed by Penny's punches and malicious cursing.
"You little bastard. You dare to make a request to your Dad behind my back. Don't you dislike here? If you don't like here, I'll let you like here."
While Penny was shouting, she kicked Luke who already had fallen to the ground.
Felix's face darkened at this moment. He frowned.
In the video, Penny had gone too far. Besides, she scolded Luke more and more harshly.
"Luke, no one can save you if you dare to play tricks with me in the future. I will keep you in the warehouse for the rest of your life and let you be eaten by rats."
"Little bastard, I don't believe that I can't train you. Remember. As long as there is something in the Bennet family that makes me unsatisfied, I will vent on you. You were born to pay off debts. Don't you like Winnie? The more you like her, the more I will torture you."
Penny said viciously. Luke, who was lying on the ground, did not dare to make any noises, only covered his head with his little hands, while his whole body was curled up tremblingly. Penny sent Luke to the dark warehouse after hitting and scolding. Besides, she warned Luke viciously again before she left.
"Your Dad will come back tomorrow. You stay here and think about yourself. Before your Dad comes back, I won't let you come out. Also, if you don't know what mistakes you made and if you don't forget Winnie, just wait to be eaten by rats."
After Penny's voice disappeared, the screen turned to pitch black. Then Luke's panicked and suppressed voice came.
"Dad, help. Auntie, help."
There was only such a sentence. After that, the screen was deadly silent.
When Felix saw here, he was so furious. He slammed the coffee table hard.
"Damn it. She actually dares to hit Luke."
Felix yelled. He never expected that Penny would abuse Luke like this. He had already known that Penny was not so much kind, but he didn't expect her to be so insidious.
No wonder Luke didn't like to go home. No wonder Luke felt depressed every time he came back. It turned out that all of this was caused by Penny.
Winnie was crying sadly during the whole process of watching the video. When she heard Felix's shouting, she stopped crying. At this time, her eyes were also red and swollen from crying. "Mr. Felix, this is why I have to take care of Luke in person."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
