Chapter 326 The Strange Penny
Chapter 326 The Strange Penny
Before Thomas could finish his words, Penny spoke.
“Sir, I heard from the police a few days ago that Winnie was slandered online, do you know that?”
Since the day she heard about it, she had been excited. And now she wanted to verify it from Thomas.
As Thomas heard Winnie’s name, he was in high spirits.
“Yes, the new spread everywhere, sure I know it.”
“It was said that her private life was indiscreet and she messed around with several men at the same
time. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but she was scolded miserably.”
Thomas said with interest, which made Penny more excited.
“It is true. She deserved to be scolded. While she was with Brian, she still has an affair with Leo. And
she could have other men. She was not a good person, but Brian is blind to be with her.”
Penny said gladly. She had not been so happy since she was sent to prison. She knew that Winnie
would be punished sooner or later.
“You’re right, there were three guys on the site at the same time. I heard that one is Brian, one is Leo,
and the other seems to be her ex-husband, but it is hearsay.”
Thomas was more and more interested in it, and the police would not have suspect.
“Ex-husband? What ex-husband, it’s just formality. She temporarily registered with a man in order to
register her child’s household, but she divorced after the household was registered.”
Penny knew it, but she did not know who Winnie’s ex-husband was. She felt that saying so would not
have an impact.
“What does it mean? Her ex-husband is not the father of her child?
Thomas felt this information valuable. If the child’s father was not Oscar, who was the father?
“It is......”
She uttered a word and paused. If she said that, this man might spread it.
If it reached Felix’s ears, Winnie would become the hostess of the Bennet family.
“I don’t know who the father is, but it’s definitely not her ex-husband’s.”
“By the way, Sir, do you know who her ex-husband is?”
Penny asked casually.
“It’s called...Oscar, yes, Oscar.”
Thomas answered, but he kept paying attention to Penny’s expression.
When it came to the child’s father, Penny hesitated visibly, which proved that she knew the father. It
seemed that she had Richard knew a lot of things, but they had not told him.
When she heard the name Oscar, Penny was stunned.
She did not expect that it was Oscar. She did not expect that Oscar would have a fake marriage for
Winnie.
“Why... Do you know Oscar?”
Thomas always paid attention to Penny’s expression, so it was not difficult for him to see she was
shock.
“Yes, he is a classmate of Winnie.”
The two men continued their conversation, but Penny suddenly refrained from discussing sensitive
topics. Two people were inside talking but someone was waiting outside.
Oscar wanted to see Penny before he went back to spend new year with his parents in his hometown.
When he arrived, he found that someone was meeting her. He could only wait outside until the first
man came out.
After a while, the police came out to inform Oscar. As Oscar talked to the police, Oscar saw Thomas
walking out.
Oscar did not know Thomas, but he was curious who came to see Penny. He asked the policeman.
“Did this man come to see Penny?”
The police looked at Oscar warily, and then in the direction he was pointing to.
“Yes, you know him?”
The police asked Oscar.
“No, I’ve never seen him.”
Oscar really did not know him, but judging from the age of this man, he should be her father’s friend.
Oscar thanked the police and hurried to go into the room.
Seeing Penny had a dignified face, it seemed they had talked about unhappy topic.
“What happened? You are not glad to see me?”
Oscar said jokingly, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
“No, I am happy. Did you see that man who just went out?”
She had a lot to say to Oscar. She was very happy that Oscar came to see her, but there was
something urgent.
“Yes, an old man.”
Oscar did not understand why Penny asked.
“Do you know who he is?”
Winnie asked anxiously, she wanted to know who he was.
“He came to see you and you don’t know who he is?”
Oscar was confused and had no idea what was going on.
“He came several times. He did not say who he is and I did not see him before.”
Penny was disappointed that Oscar did not know him.
“I’ll check it out and I’ll tell you next time I come.”
It was weird, but Penny did not look like she was lying. Oscar could only promise to help inquire.
“How have you been doing? I was busy, so I had no time to come to see you. I have brought you a lot
of things, and they will give them to you soon.”
Oscar went on talking.
“Eat more and think less. It’s the best.”
Oscar advised Penny.
“I know, you don’t have to worry about me. It’s just that six years is a long time. I don’t know if I’m going
to make it.”
Penny felt tired, after seeing Oscar, she was eager to be out of prison.
“It’s not a problem commute your sentence if you behave well. It won’t take six years. Time is fast.
Don’t worry.”
“Oscar, did you help with Megan’s household?”
Penny casually asked.
“Yes, I registered marriage with Winwin and then dealt with the child’s residence. Why?”
Today Penny was different, asking questions that made him confused.
“Nothing, a few days ago I heard that someone scolded her on the Internet, and it reminded me of the
child. Did you know at that time that the father is Brian?”
Penny had no scruple against Oscar, because Winnie would not hide things from Oscar. If she guessed
right, Oscar should have known the child’s father was Brian.
“I didn’t. Winwin told me when I was back. But those on the Internet are not true.”
Oscar felt it necessary to clarify for Winnie, after all, that was slander.
“Who has she offended? Who would slander her for no reason?”
Hearing Oscar’s explanation, Penny felt bitter and her voice became cold.
“Brian’s fiancée, Wendy, had a problem with Winwin and deliberately slandered Winwin. She had been
found out and had made a public apology.”
The name of Wendy appeared again in the ear of Penny inadvertently. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
She first heard the name from Winnie, but she had never met Wendy.
Oscar said she was Brian’s fiancée, so what Winnie said before was true. But that Winnie liked Brian
and Brian also liked Winnie was an indisputable fact. She posed a threat to Wendy, otherwise how
could Wendy slander her without any reason?
“Brian is really fast. When will they get married?”
Penny asked bitterly. If nothing had happened, she was Mrs. Bennet. Either Wendy or Winnie could
contend with her.
“They were going to get married before, but two children objected, so the wedding was postponed
indefinitely. Whether they can get married or not, it depends on when the two children accept the fact.”
Oscar told Penny what he knew, but the news was a surprise to Penny.
Winnie was behind the children. If she could see Wendy, she would teach Wendy how to deal with
Winnie.
“Winnie...Forget about her. Tell me about you.”
...
Penny wanted to comment, but she knew Oscar would be on Winie’s side. Whatever she said, it would
only make him angry.
The children finally had a holiday. Brian was not available, so Rufus came to pick up the two children.
When he arrived, Rufus did not go upstairs. Instead, Isobel took the two children down.
Since Isobel came back, it was the third time they met. Isobel was reluctant but she had no other
choice. Everyone was absent today, only she could send the child down.
“Grandpa...”
“Grandpa...”
The two children saw Rufus and ran into Rufus’s arms.
“Good.”
At this moment, Isobel came, but stopped at a certain distance.
“Take them home. There’s influenza these two days. Be careful.”
Isobel said and turned around, Rufus hurriedly stopped her.
“Isobel......”
He let go of the two children, and asked them get in the car first with Paul. Rufus went to Isobel.
“Spent New Year here, take the children, Winwin and Vanessa to my home, so that the children feel
better.”
Rufus said gently, but his mood was complex.
“No, it’s a bother to you. We’ve communicated about it and we’ll be fine.”
Isobel walked on, thinking there was no need to get involved with the Bennet family, for it was better for
them to stay away from each other, even though they had already been inseparable from each other.
They, the poor people, could not afford to stand with the people at the top of the pyramid.
However, Rufus did not give up, he again stopped Isobel.
“We’ll pretend we don’t know each other, so the children won’t see it. Think for the children.”
Rufus was sincere. He wanted Isobel to spend new year in suburb with the children. It might be the
only chance in a lifetime for a family reunion.
