Chapter 537 If You Love Her, Set Her Free

Brian did not expect the news would have such a big impact and it spread so fast. If he knew, he would
have taken it under control.

"Ok, I'll talk to her."

Brian answered Joshua with a frown and a low voice.

"Have you found out who sent the news?"

Rufus asked with dissatisfaction to Brian.

"I have not checked it yet."

Brian wanted it to be known, naturally he would not investigate it.

"There are only two possibilities. One is your grandfather, and the other is Gloria. No journalist would
dare to report anything involving the Bennet family, especially if it was uncertain."

Rufus suspected, if it was not his father, it would be Gloria. If it was Gloria, she was not a simple
person.

"Winwin is suspecting Gloria."

Joshua could not help but said and he wanted to make it clear.

"Winwin said whether it would affect Gloria's work, she is in doubt that Gloria did it."

He explained Winnie's idea clearly. Joshua did not doubt his judgment. That was what Winnie meant.

"It is not Gloria, Gloria has a boyfriend. She's the one who proposed cooperation. How could she make
such a fuss?"



"I think it is grandpa. He is optimistic about Gloria's wealth and status. It would be difficult for Brian to
deal with if he made it public."

Stella did not agree with Joshua's words, she thought it was her grandfather instead of anyone else.

"Brian, you can go to grandpa and confirm with him."

Stella added, feeling that after confirming they would rest assured, and Winnie would not be estranged
to Brian.

"It's no use, even if you ask, Grandpa will not tell you the truth. Whether he did it or not, he won't admit
it."

"Forget it, I'll have the news blocked. Vanessa is right, we cannot let the children know it or allow
Winnie to be attacked by Gloria's fans."

Now Brian felt complex in heart. He felt sorry for Winnie, and he had to take the children into account,
what was more, he had to consider what role grandpa played in this and his attitude.

With much in mind, he might be thoughtless and could not analyze thoroughly.

Brian did what he said, ordered Albert to block all the news when he was back to his room.

As he put away his phone, Winnie returned to the room.

"Have the kinds finished their homework?"

Brian stood up and asked Winnie.

"Yes. They are now playing with your father downstairs."

Winnie put down her coat and bag, feeling tired.



"How about Vanessa?"

Brian continued.

"Good, she said she could handle it."

After that, Winnie turned to the bathroom, but Brian had not finished his words.

"Vanessa saw the news?"

Hearing that, Winnie stopped her paces.

"Yes, as soon as the news came out."

Winnie thought for a moment before she answered, because she did not know if she should be
perfunctory or tell the truth. But the whole world has known about it, how could Vanessa not know it?
So she thought she had no need to lie.

"What did she say? Is she disappointed in me?"

Vanessa still minded what happened in the old house, and not it happened. Brian could imagine
Vanessa's reaction.

In the past, Vanessa would call him to get to know the truth, but now she did not call. He could see that
she was disappointed.

Winnie was again silent, she did not know how to answer. Vanessa was disappointed, but if she told
Brian, he would be upset.

She’d better cover it up.

"She said nothing. She said it was expected."



"Brian, it doesn't matter what Vanessa said. Do whatever you want and don’t care other’s opinion. No
matter how Vanessa thinks about you, it doesn’t matter."

Winnie was disappointed too, but she controlled it and did not know it obviously.

Although Winnie did not say it, Brian knew Vanessa must be very disappointed.

"Winwin, I have ordered Albert to block the news. You and the children will not be affected."

"It has gone on more quickly than I thought possible, and it must have caused you much trouble. I......"

"Well, don't be so polite with me. I know that. I understand that. But I really need to take a shower and
relax. I've been receiving calls since the news came out this morning. And I am tired of explaining it."

"You go downstairs and check on the kids. I'm going to take a bath."

Winnie knew Brian was to explain and to say sorry.

Every time he did not know it would hurt her until he did that, and after he did that, he would say sorry
to her. Winnie had been tired of Brian's approach and he did not want to listen to his explanation and
sorry.

She turned and went straight to the bathroom.

Winnie lay in the bathtub, trying to relax with her eyes closed.

But those annoying things still bothered her.

Brian said he had the news blocked, but the goal was achieved. The whole world had known about the
relationship between the two of them.



But the damage to her could not be removed. She could not pretend nothing had happened. Once she
hurt, there would be a scar. When she had a lot of scars, she would not know how pain felt.

When Winnie went upstairs, she did not go directly to the two children's room. Instead, she stood on
the second floor, where she could not be seen, and heard the dialogue between Rufus and Brian
downstairs.

Only Joshua could hear her hint. No, the Bennet family was so smart and they should understand her,
but they did not it was Gloria behind it.

The Bennet family, including Brian, was standing in the perspective of the Bennet family, so they didn’t
think Gloria would do so. Only Joshua was standing in the outsider's point of view, so she gave a
rational view.

Winnie felt hurt deeply, but only now she understood that she, like Joshua, was an outsider of the
Bennet family.

But it was not right either. How could she be the same as Joshua? Joshua was accepted by the Bennet
family, but she was much inferior to Joshua in the point of the Bennet family.

She’d better not care about anything. Even if she had heartache, she could not blame anyone. She
would only live for the kids and Brian could do whatever he wanted, as long as he was happy.

The next day to work, Brian went first. He wanted to see Vanessa during the breakfast time.

When he reached Vanessa’s school, Vanessa did not let him in. Brian could only wait for Vanessa in
the parking lot outside the school.

The car parked. Brian stood outside the car, thinking about how to make Vanessa believe him and she
would not feel sad.



"Do you want to see me?”

Vanessa came to Brian and spoke in a strange tone.

"Vanessa, I know you don’t have much time, so I will make it short. Yesterday..."

"The headlines about you, right? I know it. You just had a blind date, but you made the whole world
know it, I really don't understand the rich’s world."

"Brian, do you know why I don't let you go in my school? You are famous now. Everyone in our school
knows you. If you went it, I will be the focus. Poor people like us don't dare make a fuss."

Vanessa felt sorry for her sister at the thought of what happened yesterday, now she had no hope for
Brian. And she did not want to listen to his explanation.

"Vanessa, I did not deal with it well. I didn't expect to make it so big. I know you won't understand, but
I..."

"Alas...... Hold on, hold on. It doesn't make any sense if I understand or not, because my sister is a tool
to give birth to your kids, I am even nothing, so my understanding does not matter."

Vanessa interrupted Brian again. No matter what Brian said and did, she did not care. She only cared
about her sister, as long as she would not hurt.

"Vanessa, I know I'm thoughtless, but you need to hear me out."

Brian knew that Vanessa would be dissatisfied with him, but did not expect she was emotional and
even did not give him a chance to explain.

"Brian, you should hear me out. You should know what I think."



"Brian, in my heart you are my brother-in-law, but I find that our family though too much. You don't give
a shit about all of us. Yes, you have your reason to go to a blind date and you have to do it, my sister
and I have no right to interfere it, but can you keep a low profile? Could you please not make my sister
sad?"

"She loves you. Her heart is made of flesh and blood, not steel that could be good all the time. She
said nothing, but her heart ached."

"Must you hurt her in such a way? Are you happy to hurt her bit by bit?"

“You don't love her. How could you possibly fall in love with a humble orphan like us? If you love her,
you should first consider her feelings instead of neglecting her."

"Brian, I know what you want to say. You want to say you were forced to have a blind date and you did
not mean to hurt my sister. You just find all kinds of excuses for your behavior."

"I accept your explanation, and forgive your behavior. I don't hate you or blame you. But if you love my
sister, don't play with her. If you love my sister, set her free. We are poor, but we have dignity. We are
not for you rich people to play with."

Vanessa said in one breath, did not give Brian the opportunity to refute. After saying that, she gave a
disappointed and angry look at Brian and then turned away.

She didn't need to listen to his explanation because she knew it.

Brian frowned and stood there with guilt. Looking at Vanessa's back, he was speechless.

Vanessa's accusations like a bayonet into his heart made him unable to refute. His wrong judgment
and perfunctory behavior brought Winnie much pain and he did not realize it till someone told him
so.

"Brian, in my heart you are my brother-in-law, but | find that our family though too much. You don't give
a shit about all of us. Yes, you have your reason to go to a blind date and you have to do it, my sister
and | have no right to interfere it, but can you keep a low profile? Could you please not make my sister

"She loves you. Her heart is made of flesh and blood, not steel that could be good all the time. She

"Must you hurt her in such a way? Are you happy to hurt her bit by bit?"

“You don't love her. How could you possibly fall in love with a humble orphan like us? If you love her,
you should first consider her feelings instead of neglecting her."

"Brian, | Know what you want to say. You want to say you were forced to have a blind date and you did
not mean to hurt my sister. You just find all kinds of excuses for your behavior."

"| accept your explanation, and forgive your behavior. | don't hate you or blame you. But if you love my
sister, don't play with her. If you love my sister, set her free. We are poor, but we have dignity. We are
not for you rich people to play with."

Vanessa Said in one breath, did not give Brian the opportunity to refute. After saying that, she gave a
disappointed and angry look at Brian and then turned away.

She didn't need to listen to his explanation because she knew it.
Brian frowned and stood there with guilt. Looking at Vanessa's back, he was speechless.

Vanessa's accusations like a bayonet into his heart made him unable to refute. His wrong judgment
and perfunctory behavior brought Winnie much pain and he did not realize it till someone told him
SO.
