After hearing it, Brian was silent first. He couldn't draw a conclusion casually without any evidence. He couldn't let something without evidence affect the overall situation.
However, Brian still doubted that Penny had done all these. He just didn't expect that Penny would do it in such a cautious way.
"Don't waste time on these people anymore. Go to investigate Penny."
Brian decided to do it in a different way. In this way, however cautious she was, he could find out some clues.
"Yes, Mr. Bennet."
Albert received the order.
"What about the investigation about Winnie?"
Brian asked again.
"I went to the school they graduated from. All her classmates and teachers had a good impression of Winnie. As for Mrs. Bennet, they gave neither positive nor negative comments. In their memory, Winnie had been protecting Mrs. Bennet. Moreover, Winnie had given Mrs. Bennet the opportunity to receive a government-sponsored oversea education."
"I know what you just said. Albert, you didn't work efficiently recently."
Brian was unsatisfied with the result of his investigation because he knew all that things. He just felt surer after Albert mentioned.
"Mr. Bennet, it's not that I don't work efficiently. Recently, there're too many things to do. I'm also responsible for the acquisition of MT. I can't finish all the work well by myself."
Albert said helplessly. After Winnie came, there were suddenly a lot of extra things. And he had to do all of them all by himself. He really was about to wear himself out.
Brian thought for a while and then said.
"Transfer Calvin and Morgan back."
Brian also realized that there were too few employees he trusted around him. He minded what Klara had done this time and couldn't trust her completely in the future. Therefore, he could only transfer his other two right-hand men back.
"I'll go to the Personnel Department and ask them to make arrangements soon."
Albert felt much relaxed now. When his two colleagues were transferred back, they would share the work with him.
"Albert, don't let Klara know important things in the future."
Brian reminded.
In the past, both he and Albert trusted Klara, but they couldn't trust her anymore now. She was under the control of jealousy and sometimes couldn't tell right from wrong. It was easy to use her.
"Yes, Mr. Bennet."
Although Albert didn't know what had happened, he believed that Brian must have reasons to give such an order.
"Well, continue the previous topic. What else did you find out?"
Brian continued to ask.
"Winnie had a good relationship with girls, but she was indifferent to boys. It wasn't because she was arrogant. The reason was that Winnie didn't want to play with men's emotions and therefore tried to disappoint her many admirers who she didn't like. Therefore, she had no boyfriend when she was in college."
Albert paused for a while and then went on.
"Mrs. Bennet says that Winnie is a liar, but she is not. Her classmates and teachers all said that she was from a rich family. There is no need for her to cheat other people."
From the very beginning, Albert didn't believe that Winnie was a liar. Now, it was finally proved that she wasn't a liar. He was very happy.
"She is from a rich family? What do her parents do?"
Brian asked casually. He was in a better mood because Winnie didn't have a boyfriend when she was in college.
"I haven't found that out, but I know that her parents had passed away."
Albert felt helpless again. He worked efficiently, but he had to delay when he had to pay attention to everything.
"Continue the investigation and find out everything about Winnie."
Brian ordered seriously.
Although Winnie wasn't a liar when she was in college, it couldn't prove that she didn't cheat other people when she was studying abroad. After all, Penny wasn't the only one who said that Winnie was a liar. Leo liked Winnie so much, but he also once said that Winnie was a liar.
Therefore, Brian wanted to find out everything about Winnie and proved that Penny had told lies. Only in this way could he feel comfortable.
After he arrived home from work in the evening, Winnie had already prepared dinner as usual. They four had dinner happily.
After dinner, they four sat on the sofa together and watched TV. At this moment, Winnie stood up and came close to Brian.
"Come with me."
After saying a few words to kids, Winnie took Brian to her studio, turned on the computer and showed that e-mail to Brian.
"What does it mean?"
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"Perhaps the sender meant it literally? I showed it to Klara and asked her about it today."
Winnie observed his expression carefully, finding that he had no special reaction and that he was just too calm.
"What did she say?"
Brian asked in a colder voice.
"She said that it was a prank, but I did saw her rummaging through my bag."
Winnie repeated what Klara had said.
"You think too much."
Before Winnie told him her doubts, Brian denied them directly. He denied her doubts so fast that Winnie felt uncomfortable.
"Perhaps I'm just like the knave who thinks of others in terms of his own desires. It seems that you know Klara well and trust her very much."
Winnie felt a sense of loss and said. She wanted Brian to analyze it for her, so she told him this thing. However, she forgot that Brian had a very special feeling for Klara and that it was impossible for him to doubt Klara.
