If that matter was exposed, even Winnie's father wouldn't help her.
All she could do was to suffer that loss in silence.
Tobias was rumored to be cruel yet subtle in his ways. Tracy had finally come to understand why that was now.
She severely underestimated Natalie's position in Tobias' heart, otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such trouble for herself.
"Winnie, why does he care about that girl when she's not as good as you in any way?" She asked, her face pale.
She could not understand it at all.
Why would he choose Natalie and give up on Winnie? It really was beyond her understanding.
Winnie lowered her gaze to hide the tears in her eyes.
It turned out that she and Tracy looked at it in the same way. Not only was she more beautiful than Natalie, but she also had a better family background and education as well.
She thought that she would definitely be able to contend against Natalie.
However, she knew now that she was wrong.
When two women were vying over a man, their abilities were not important at all.
The most important thing was the man's heart. If one particular woman was already in the man's heart, it didn't matter how outstanding the other woman was; she would still lose miserably.
Winnie had lost, completely and utterly so.
In fact, she should have figured it out long ago, otherwise, she would not have caused so much trouble for herself.
"Mom, let's go back to the United States," she said to Tracy a moment later.
Her mother was stunned.
She looked at her.
There was no confusion or pain in Winnie's eyes. Instead, they were clear and bright.
It was like she had realized something.
Tobias and Benjamin had been talking on the phone for a long time now.
He instructed Benjamin, who was on the other end of the call, with everything he needed to do.
Benjamin was hesitant.
Although he knew that Tobias wouldn't listen to him, he couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Whitlock, do we really have to do this?"
"Benjamin, if you have any hesitation, you can hand in your resignation letter. I will hand this matter over to someone else," Tobias said indifferently.
Benjamin immediately gave in.
"Yes, Mr. Whitlock."
He really had no self-respect. Even though he knew what Tobias would say every time, yet he still couldn't help but persuade him every time too.
Benjamin sighed inwardly.
Why was he so loyal?
After the phone call, Tobias got ready to go upstairs.
He didn't want Natalie to know the dark side of some things, so even if he knew that she was asleep, he still went downstairs to make that call to prevent her from finding out.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the bright moon in the sky.
The moon was clear and bright, its light enveloping the land.
His frown finally softened.
Winnie's matter was finally sorted.
Just as he was about to go upstairs, his cell phone rang again.
This time, it was Cecilia calling.
"Mom," Tobias' voice was faint but respectful.
"Tobias, come and pick us up now." Cecilia informed her position through the phone; she was a short distance from the airport.
He was a little surprised.
Every time Cecilia came, she would always order a driver to pick her up. Why didn't she ask a driver to pick her up this time?
However, he had always been a man of few words.
"Okay," he said before hanging up.
He went to the garage to start up a Ferrari before he sped off towards the location where she had mentioned.
A little way off Agaphen City airport.
Selina stomped her feet and asked, "Mom, when is Tobias going to arrive?"
