Chapter 145 In the Same Boat
Chapter 145 In the Same Boat
Although Brian said so, he was still thinking about whether Penny and Daniel had any connection, but
they did not seemed to be connected.
“Drive him away?”
Winnie was baffled. After the acquisition of MT, she asked for the dismissal of Daniel. When she heard
the voice of Daniel, Winnie thought of Daniel was to find her revenge. Why did Brian say that he drove
him away?
"In fact, after he made a move to you on the rooftop, I fired him. Not only did I fire him, I blocked his
way out. He couldn't even find a job."
Brian said it was him drove away Daniel. He now regretted not for driving him away, but...
"If I had known that he was an unrepentant man, I should have made him disappear then, and he
wouldn't have hurt you."
Brian gnashed his teeth. He hated himself that he did not do a good job and left a threat there.
Winnie was stupefied. It turned out that Daniel was fired by Brian at that time. She did not complain, but
was moved.
Brian had protected her silently.
Winnie leaned forward carefully and suddenly embraced Brian with open arms.
"Thank you for everything. Nice to meet you again."
Winnie said in a gentle voice. She didn't know what "everything" meant. Maybe there were many things
she didn't know. It was Brian who protected her.
Brian did not expect that Winnie could embrace him. At the moment of being embraced, he heard the
sound of his heart beating violently and the sound of the iceberg completely melting in his heart.
Now his heart was nothing but the irregular beat and the soft murmur of the flowing water. The iceberg
had gone forever.
He stroked Winnie's back, listening to what she said to him.
The last sentence, however, stunned him.
Winnie had said that when she was in a drunken sleep, when he thought she said to Leo. He did not
expect the one in her dream was him.
"When was the last time you saw me?”
Asked Brian suddenly.
Brian obviously felt Winnie's body froze because of his words. She answered.
"Maybe in my previous life."
Winnie's body betrayed her, but she answered calmly, without flustering or explaining. Because one
day the truth will come out.
If she had not survived this time, Daenerys had already told her everything.
Brian didn't get the answer he wanted, so he didn't keep asking. Winnie was not suited to emotional
ups and downs. When she recovered from her injuries, he would investigate it.
"Winwin, the police will come in the evening to do a record, you need to tell then what happened. Don’t
get emotional and don’t cry. It's all over. Say it out and forget about the bad memories."
Brian said, while pulling apart the distance between them. He must say it in advance, so that Winnie
had a psychological preparation.
"Ok, I'm fine."
Winnie was flattered, since Brian was gentle to her since she woke up. She had doubt that if she got
illusion, because Brian never had been so gentle to her.
Winnie wanted to feel this rare moment of warmth, so she hugged Brian again.
This time she said nothing, just trying to keep the memory.
She did not fall asleep until after noon, and Brian went out while she was asleep.
In the car in the hospital parking lot.
Brian returned to his usual apathy.
"Look into Daniel and see if he ever left. I don't understand the connection between Daniel and Penny."
"I'll send someone to look into it. But they met."
Albert gave a hint.
"They did?”
Asked Brian doubtfully.
"In the first time we met Daniel, Penny was in the elevator too. They didn't talk, but he knew who she
was."
Albert said so, Brian suddenly saw the light.
"Check both of them and see if they're connected."
"Okay, I'll call right away."
Said Albert, picked up the phone and conveyed Brian's command.
Brian continued to order.
"Inform the police that they can come in that evening and take a transcript."
As Brian's voice fell, Brian’s phone rang.
Brian picked up the phone and found it was Penny calling. He told Albert to cooperate with him.
"Contact the police in a louder voice."
Albert nodded. He understood the meaning of Brian, so he made a call to the police. Brian also
answered the phone.
"What is it?”
"Nothing, Brian, but I'm worried that you haven't been home for a few days."
Penny's calm voice came over.
"I was too busy to go home."
"Don't be too tired..."
As Penny said, she heard the voice of Albert over the phone and stopped, alert.
"Is that Officer XX? Miss Chambers's mental condition is much better and you can come here this
evening to take transcripts."
"Yes, an important lead. She knows who it was that got away."
"OK, we'll be waiting for you at the hospital."
Albert’s said the key words, making Penny panic.
"Speak, why don’t you talk?"
Brian reminded Penny in a cold voice.
"Oh, I hear someone talking on the other end of the line. I'm afraid I might bother you. Since you are
busy, I will call you when you are free."
Penny hurriedly hung up the phone.
Brian immediately made orders.
"Monitor Penny's phone immediately."
"Mr. Bennet, we've been monitoring it, nothing unusual. I'm checking to see if Penny has another
phone number."
"Penny is protective of herself. She does everything with caution."
Albert had not found any suspicious about her or completed the tasks given by Brian.
"That's right. She graduated from the Department of Law. If she exposes her easily, it's useless to study
in school."
Brian said coldly. He was not surprised that Penny did not expose herself. If she couldn't hide it, she
wouldn't be so crazy.
"Go and set up a pinhole camera in Penny's room when no one's home. I don't believe she's
completely unexposed."
Brian knew this kind of practice was dirty, but for Penny who used law to cover up herself, that was the
only way.
After Penny hung up the phone, she picked up another phone to call Daniel.
"Did you leave?"
Asked Penny, in a voice of evident eagerness.
"No."
Daniel replied in a deep voice.
"No? Why don't you hurry away? You have exposed. The police will go to Winnie tonight and she
knows it was you."
Penny said angrily.
Since that day, she had urged Daniel to leave. Days passed and he still was there. It was inevitable
that she was angry and alarmed.
If Daniel was caught, she would have no room for survival. If Brian would kill her, she would be also
miserable.
"She knows? How come? I disguised myself very well."
Daniel was frightened.
"You must have exposed yourself, otherwise she wouldn't know. Now don't talk nonsense. I'll pay you
to leave. Come back after it is done."
For Penney, the most important thing now was for Daniel to leave. As long as he didn’t get caught by
the police, she would be safe.
"I'm not leaving."
Daniel calmed down. He said a lot of words, so it was normal that Winnie could know it was him, after
all, they had been working together for years.
"Do you want to get arrested by the police?"
Penny could not restrain her anger.
“The police can catch me even if I leave? Now the technology is so advanced, I can't even get out of B
city. You'd better do something about it. We're in the same boat anyway. You won't be happy if I'm
caught."
Daniel began to threaten. B City was the safest city for him. He would do nothing and that Penny would
protect him. If she chose to give up, it would be a dead end.
"You are threatening me?"
Penny asked in surprise. She did not expect that Daniel would do this.
"It's not a threat, it's a fact. Do you think I can get away? If the police start investigating me, the first
place they go will be A City. Where do you think I should go?"
"Well, now I can only see hope if I stay with you. I'm sure you can straighten it out, and if you can't,
your father will help you."
Daniel reminded Penny. He believed Penny and her father could make him safe certainly.
"You......You'd better hurry to leave. In case I fail, you can’t leave. You......"
Before Penny had finished speaking, Daniel's phone had hung up.
Penny was really panicked. Daniel was a rogue. If he was really caught, everything would be over and
her four years of efforts would turned into ashes.
No, she must not let it go on like this. She must do something about it.
Penny took the car keys and went straight out. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She came to the Burns Group and directly broke into her father's office without knocking the door.
"You came in without knocking, you became less and less polite."
Richard scolded her. Fortunately, there was no one in the office. Otherwise, it would become a joke.
"No time to knock, Dad. I had something urgent."
Penny could not calm down, nor did she have time to knock. Every second mattered to her.
"What's it?”
Richard frowned and asked, having a bad presentiment arose spontaneously, afraid that Penny had
done something that she should not have done.
"Dad, don't be angry, I..."
Winnie told the whole story from beginning to end.
Richard was angry and cursed repeatedly.
“Are you mad? Don't you have brains? How could you do that? I've already said I'll take care of it. Are
you that impatient?"
"All right, something is wrong. Are you capable of fixing it by yourself? Isn’t it too late to think of me
now?”
