After Thomas left Richard's residence, he carefully thought over these things and felt that Brian had many things to hide from him, but Richard did not tell him.
Maybe Richard knew all about Brian, but he couldn't tell him all at once. But as long as he heard a bit of news, he wanted to know more and what means Brian used to get his current position.
Thomas got nothing from Brian, so he came to Richard, but Richard did not tell him the whole story, so put the hope on Penny.
Thomas drove directly to see Penny.
In the interview room, Penny was glad to see him. She had been looking forward to his coming so that she could know more.
"Thank you for seeing me. Only you don't dislike me."
Penny pretend to be moved.
"Not at all. How is the food and accommodation?"
Thomas asked with concern while glancing at the police, who were close to Winnie. He was afraid that there were police behind him too. And there were many monitors, it was not convenient to talk.
"It is good, I am fine with your help."
Penny saw the way Thomas looked at the policeman, and guessed that he might have something to say, and that it must be about her father.
But having been in prison long, she knew that it was tightly controlled, especially since her father was a wanted man, it was hard for her to say anything.
"Good, good. I won't worry since you are good."
"Can I ask something about your husband? How did you end like this?"
Richard was a sensitive subject, but it was OK to ask about Brian.
Penny hesitated for a moment. Instead of asking about her father, the man mentioned Brian. What purpose did he have?
The police did not stop their topic, so Penny began to speak.
"Alas...... Winnie's involvement ruined my family. Otherwise I wouldn't have come to this point today. I also blame myself, the way to deal with the problem is not right. If I have more consideration, it would not end like this."
"Now I'm giving up my place to her."
Penny put all the responsibility on Winnie.
Not knowing the real purpose of the man before her, there were words she could not utter.
This man might be sent by her father, or might be sent by Brian, or she might make her own sentence worse and hurt her father.
"Winnie? Brian wants to marry Wendy, not Winnie. Are you sure that Winnie influenced your marriage?"
It was of no use for Thomas. He must get more information from Penny.
"How do you know about Wendy?"
Penny thought Wendy might be the woman Winnie said that Brian had been waiting for. That was what Winnie and Daenerys said the last time they came.
Was it really not Winnie Brian would marry to?
But so what? Brian loved Winnie. Wendy might be a victim like her. They might marry for the sake of Felix.
"Now the whole B City knows that Brian's future wife is Wendy. It is not surprised I know."
Thomas answer indifferently.
"Those are false, Brian loves Winnie. Even if he married Wendy, he would have been guarding Winnie. If Felix agrees, he will marry Winnie."
"But it is not easy for Winnie to marry Brian without a family background. As long as Felix is in the Bennet Group, everything is done as he wants."
Penny showed hatred when speaking of Felix.
Although she should take the responsibility that Brian bought the Burns Group, if there was no Felix's command, Brian would not be so unscrupulous. So she hated Felix.
Although Thomas got not useful message from Penny, but she reminded himself of one thing that the real person controlled the Bennet Group was his father, and Brian must be obedient to him.
And Thomas had confirmed that Brian cared Winnie the most, so Thomas found Brian's weakness, and it would be useful in the future.
Penny paused, then suddenly thought of her question and asked again.
"You have come to see me twice, and I still do not know who you are."
Hearing that, Thomas knew that she was on her guard. It seemed that Penny was not as useless as Richard claimed.
"Let's talk when I come to see you next time. I gotta go. Remember to take care of yourself and not let yourself get sick."
As Thomas said, he stood up, staring at Penny, seemly speaking something.
He could not now let Penny know his identity, nor could he know more under these circumstances. He could only wait for more opportunities.
"I know, thank you for coming to see me."
Penny was taken to her room, and she wondered what he had meant by the look in his eyes before he left. Was he really afraid that she would be ill, or...
Penny suddenly understand and also saw the hope.
Since came back from the competition, Winnie had not seen Daenerys, so after work she came to the home of Daenerys.
"Your belly gets bigger and you became fatter, did you eat a lot?"
