Chapter 454 Persuasion

After hearing what Paul said to them, Vanessa and Stella looked at each other and then they all
laughed.

“We do look similar, but I am old. Vanessa is still a young girl.”

“Stella, you’re not old at all. You had beautiful skin and a great figure. You looked about the same age
as me.”

Vanessa said sweetly. Stella was felt happy when she heard her words.

Paul had intended to make Stella doubt Vanessa’s identity. However, they joked with each other.

“If you were at the same age, some people would believe that you are twins.”

Paul continued to say.

“Paul, you’re right. If I wear the same as Vanessa and have the same hairstyle as her, we will look like
twins.”

Stella began to look at Vanessa carefully.

“No, Stella is more graceful than me.”

Although Vanessa found that she looked similar to Stella, she didn’t take it seriously. The world was
very big. It was not strange that someone looked like her.

They kept talking with each other. Brain and Winnie went to the sea to play together.

It was the first time that they had come out to play together. It was arranged by Brian. He wanted them
to persuade Winnie to stay with him.



The three women sat on the sofa on the deck of the yacht, looking at the vast sea. They felt relaxed
when the breeze blew their faces.

“We have been busy all the time. It is not easy for us to come out and play together.”

Winnie suddenly said to them with emotion.

Since her parents died, she had been busy. She was always tired and exhausted. And she had have
never come out to enjoy herself like this.

She had to make money to pay the debt. There was no extra money for her entertainment. She was so
tense that she never spent her time in relaxing.

“It’s good to be busy. I want to be busy and forget other things.”

Emily was thinking differently from Winnie.

She had been stayed at home and kept thinking about Leo every day. She couldn’t drive him away
from her head. Emily was going crazy about it.

“Haven’t solved the matter between you and Leo? Why do you keep ignoring him?”

Daenerys turned to ask Emily. After getting on the yacht, Emily had been avoiding Leo. She didn’t want
to approach nor talk to him. They could tell that she stayed away from him deliberately. “Yes. I haven’t
decided yet. No matter what he says, I always think that he is lying to me.”

“Forget it. Don’t mention him again. Don’t let him influence my god mood.”

Emily answered her frankly as if she deliberately said it to Winnie.

Winnie did feel uncomfortable when she heard Emily’s words. She thought it was because of her that
Emily couldn’t trust Leo.



“What could he have to do if you can trust him?”

Winnie looked at Emily. It seemed that she could solve it if Emily said it.

“I... I don’t know. Maybe it will take time for me to consider it.”

Emily hesitated and looked very embarrassed.

Then Daenerys suddenly gave Emily a choice.

“If Winnie gets married, you’ll feel relieved and trust Leo, right?”

Hearing Daenerys’ words, Winnie and Emily looked at each other at the same time.

Winnie was surprised. She did feel guilty, but she didn’t destroy the relationship between Leo and
Emily. Was it real that Emily felt insecure because of her?

Emily looked at Daenerys with a different expression. She praised Daenerys in her heart and even
needed to give her a thumb up.

They didn’t answer Daenerys, so she could only continue to speak.

“Let me analyze it. You think that if Winnie couldn’t settle down, Leo would keep paying attention to
her.”

Before Daenerys finished her words, she stopped herself. Then she became serious.

“Don’t mind it and don’t hold grudges against each other because of my words today. I just want to
solve the problem. Only when we make things clear can we come up with a solution.”

Daenerys had to clarify her intention. Although it was planned by her and Emily in advance, what she
said was a fact. They must be psychologically prepared to avoid any suspicion.



Then Daenerys continued to analyze for them.

“You think two people who have loved each other couldn’t be friends. Winnie doesn’t get married and
hasn’t settled down. Her relationship with Brian is unstable now. They could break up. If Winnie gets in
trouble, Leo will help her. Besides, you don’t believe Leo is only her friend.”

Daenerys repeatedly emphasized that Winnie hadn’t settled down in her words. which made Winnie
feel ups and downs.

After that, Winnie turned to look at Emily. At this time, Emily lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

She didn’t admit it nor deny it. In Winnie’s eyes, it meant that Emily thought that what Daenerys said
was right. But Emily didn’t want to say it directly so as not to hurt her.

Winnie felt guilty about Emily. Because of her and her unstable relationship with Brian, Emily didn’t
dare to trust Leo.

The conversation of the three ended in Emily’s silence. Winnie went to find Leo. Only Daenerys and
Emily stayed on the deck.

“Will she be more stressed?”

Emily asked worriedly.

“I can’t help it We could only force her to figure it out. It’s better than persuading her directly. She is so
stubborn that she will not listen to anyone.”

Daenerys had no choice but to do so. She knew that Winnie would regard her words as a burden in her
heart, but she had to force Winnie to be with Brian.



“I felt sorry when I saw her being silent. If she chooses to be with Brian and he couldn’t persuade his
grandpa, she will be a mistress at that time. She is of high self-esteem, so she won’t tolerate it. It will be
a mess.”

In fact, Emily didn’t believe Brian.

“We couldn’t know what will happen in the future. Just take it easy. Brian is not married yet. Winnie is
not his mistress now.”

“She is too proud. Men like the women being delicate. It is not a bad thing for her to be with Brian. At
least it will be good for their children.”

“She will have the chance to marry Brian if she is with him. Brian and the Bennet family will protect her.
Only then Wendy couldn’t do harm to her. Besides, don’t forget Felix. He won’t let her and her company
go away if she takes her kid to leave. Even if Brian protects her, Felix could take revenge on her.
Therefore, it is safe for Winnie to stay with Brian.”

Daenerys knew Felix from Kevin. T

After hearing what Kevin said to her that day, Kevin and she went to look through the information about
Felix. They finally knew that Felix was cruel and sinister.

Because she knew Felix well, Daenerys thought that Winnie should stay with Brian. No matter where
Winnie went with her children, Felix wouldn’t let her go forever.

“I hope that everything will be okay. Don’t let Winnie suffer pains anymore.”

Emily couldn’t feel eased, and she was worried about Winnie.

“We can believe Brian this time. We can help him keep Winnie. If he can’t make it this time, we will
never trust him.”



Daenerys was also worried. But she hoped that Winnie could be with Brian so that Winnie would be
happy with her love and her kids would have a warm and complete family.

Winnie came to Leo. The three of them were playing cards. Winnie thought that it was no need for her
to hide it from Brian and Kevin, so she asked Leo directly.

“Haven’t Emily accepted you”

Winnie sat between Brian and Leo. She faced Leo and asked him.

“She is more distant from me now. When I met her last time, she took back the gift that she sent to me
before.”

Leo said bitterly. Winnie felt sorry for him.

“If she keeps refusing you, what will you do?”

Winnie continued to ask him.

“I’ll wait for her. I’ll keep waiting for her to accept me. Anyway, I love her and I’ll wait for her for my life.”

Leo was determined to marry Emily.

Hearing Leo’s answer, Winnie finally collapsed.

She couldn’t be selfish and ignored others’ feelings. She couldn’t let her kids leave their father. She
couldn’t make Leo keep waiting for Emily because of her.

Besides, she had ignored that Brian could protect her and her kids when they left. But he couldn’t
protect everyone.



If she left, her friends would be in trouble, and her company would be destroyed by Felix.

Winnie didn’t want innocent people to be implicated because of her. She’d rather suffer it by herself.

After that, she asked Brian to walk with her alone. She wanted to tell him her decision before she went
back on her word.

Winnie stood on to the deck on the yacht with Brian. She looked at him seriously and took a deep
breath before she spoke.

“I decided to accept Felix’s request. I’ll live with you in the suburbs.”

Winnie sighed with relief. When she finished her words, it meant that she had to suffer anything she
met in the future.

“Really? Do you accept grandpa’s request?”

Brian asked Winnie with surprise. He didn’t expect that they would persuade her so quickly.

“Yes. But don’t be too happy now. I need to talk to my aunt about this matter. And I have a request.”

Winnie looked very calm. She also laid out her conditions.

“Just tell me. I promise you that I can make it.”

He didn’t know what Winnie would ask him to do, but he agreed with her happily. His heart began to
beat very fast. He was very excited.

The thing that he had been thinking of for a long time had been achieved now. He was cheerful and
inspired.



“If you marry another girl, I’ll take the children back to my home. We’ll live there as now. When the kids
grow up and don’t need me anymore, you will take care of them. At that time, you can’t stop me when I
leave.”

Winnie made such a request because she didn’t want to be considered a mistress.

“I won’t marry another woman. I’ll only marry you. You won’t have the chance to leave.”

Brian held Winnie in his arms. At this time, he was excited and sad. He felt distressed for everything
she had done for him and their kids without getting anything in return.
