As long as it was not against the law, Winnie had no regard for public opinion. But she did not have too much hope. Everyone knew Penny was Brian's wife, how could she not get the protection of the law?
She said that with the purpose to make Penny angry, and it was the best she was in a sulk.
However, something that surprised her happened.
"There was no registration and no wedding."
"Honey..."
Brian’s affirmative answer made Penny completely shocked.
Penny did not understand what they were talking about. WhenWinnie asked if she was his legal wife, she panicked, but then she calmed down.
She thought that Brian would never tell the truth about their relationship, because that would be a dangerous thing for him.
But she was wrong. Brian knew it was like a landmine, but he would like to take a risk for Winnie.
Winnie was surprised, but then she looked at Penny sarcastically.
"Since your position is not so secure, Penny, you should behave well and keep a low profile. When I told you that I despise everything about you, you should stop. You don't seem to be a clever person."
"You..."
Penny was still angry and had less confidence in her eyes.
Winnie did not continue to pay attention to Penny but looked at Brian again.
"Since your marriage is illegal, well, I agree to be your woman."
Winnie agreed readily with the purpose to suppress the arrogance of Penny.
After knowing that it was not a real marriage, she felt relieved and thought she had not involved in others’ affair.
Winnie said and walked away.
"Winnie..."
Brian called Winnie, but Winnie interrupted her.
"I know what you want to ask. Ask your wife... No, ask Penny. If you don't understand what she tells you, come to me."
Winnie continued to walk, and then suddenly stopped.
"Don't call me Winnie, Brian. Penny used to call me Winwin, and you may do the same."
Winnie's words were meanful with provocation. As for how they met amd what had happened, he could ask Penny.
Winnie left in a natural and unrestrained way. The hatred in the heart for years finally released at this moment.
Brian got off from work and arranged Luke to Winnie before going home.
He did not findPennyin the sitting room, so he directly went to Penny’s room on the second floor.
Brian kicked open the door with anger.
Penny lay on the bed and directly sat up by being startled.
Seeing Brian’s cold face, she immediately got flustered.
"Hon…, Brian, you are back.”
She had no courage to call him husband, so she changed the way to call him.
"Say it, what's going on? What is your relationship with Winnie?"
Brian's voice was cold, but his eyes were burning with flame of fury.
"It doesn't matter what the relationship is. It's gone, just leave it alone."
"Say it."
Brian's roar made Penny shudder all over.
"Winwin and I were classmates. I don't want to slander her. Brian, I don’t...”
"I need you to tell me about you, Winnie, and Leo."
Brian was furious. He had to know the truth. No matter how shameless Winnie was, no matter how unbearable she was. He just wanted to know what was going on between them.
"I..."
Penny was helpless but had to tell the story to Brian.
"Brian, Winnie cheated Leo. I just couldn't bear it and helped him. As for what Winnie said, it was to cover her up and slander me. I'm really innocent."
"You said you were with Leo, and now you said you're innocent."
Brian didn’t know if Penny's words were true or false.
Because what she said was the same as Leo's angry words against Winnie, and what they had in common was that Winnie was a cheater.
"Those are all angry words, who can control emotions when he gets angry? Brian, I now feel that I should not have been so kind to help. It’s been for four years, Winnie was scheming. She hid her hatred for four years and finally came back to take revenge on me."
Penny’s ability in talebearing was good. While she said, she cried for being wronged.
"Brian, Winnie is really a cheater. Don't be fooled by her appearance. Her approach to you is to destroy our relationship."
"......"
Penny got more and more sad. Brian said nothing but frowned tightly.
“Brian, let us not say any more of the past. It's a shame for Winwin. Now you just have to stop trusting her."
Penny continued, wiping away her tears while taking glance at Brianstealthily to see what his attitude was.
“Brian, at any rate, you shouldn’t tell the state of our marriage."
Penny looked up to Brian, who was glaring at her angrily.
Penny hurriedly explained.
"Brian, I didn't mean anything else. I was afraid that Winnie might threaten you and blackmail you with this after she knew about this. If she breaks the rules and tells the secret, Uncle Zak will have a chance, and Grandpa will be disappointed in you."
Penny was clever and began to care about Brian.
"You don't have to worry about me. I know what to do and what not to do. I warn you, do not forget our agreement. You have no right to interfere in my private life. No matter what relationship is between me and Winnie, don’t interfere. Remember, you are not my wife, and you have no right to ask Winnie."
Brian warned her coldly and there were doubts in his eyes againstPenny.
