She would be willing to lay down her life for him.
"Mr. Knowles, it's my fault for misleading them with the wrong information and causing harm to you and Ms. Benett. I am to blame for staining yours and Ms. Benett's reputation."
Brie's words caught in her throat as she felt a pang of pain thrum in her heart.
She had acted rashly based on her assumptions. Although Mr. North had misunderstood them before, he had never tried to spread false rumors about them.
Mr. North even suspected that Elisa was Winslow's daughter.
Brie wasn't privy to everything that happened, so he shouldn't be too harsh on her.
However, Winslow was insistent on letting Brie go.
"Elisa and I had finally been reunited by fate. She's my family member. If I couldn't even protect her from rumors, how is she able to trust me in the future? Just leave, Brie."
After considering everything, Winslow made the decision that Brie had to leave.
But Brie didn't want to go; she was adamant about staying by his side.
She inched closer to him on her knees. "Mr. Knowles, you could take my life, but please don't chase me away."
Her voice was a hoarse whisper as she begged for mercy, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
She was more capable than Mr. North in many ways. Winslow had always relied on her and valued her skills.
Winslow didn't want to punish her as harshly as he did with the other employees, considering all the years she had worked for him. However, he knew that he had no choice but to fire her.
"Do you really think I can keep you around?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.
"I know you wouldn't keep me here anymore, and I would rather die than leave your side."
She pleaded with him, her voice filled with desperation.
Brie was determined to stay by his side. Even if she had to die today, she wanted to die by his side. She had given her heart to him the day he took her in and brought her to work in the casino.
The fervent determination in her eyes made Winslow hesitate.
He knew he couldn't kill her, no matter how many rules the casino had or how heartless the system was.
He also understood how critical her assistance has been throughout these years.
"I'm not going to kill you," he muttered finally. "Not after everything you've done for me."
