âIsnât that great? We wonât have to go to such lengths to find him now that heâs basically presenting himself to us!âAs Lisanne had not rested for two days, she was in a poor mental state. She blurted anything on her mind without thinking about Winnieâs situation.She had no idea how dangerous Harold was, nor did she consider the possibility that he wanted to take revenge on Winnie, not hang out with her.However, Winnie still contemplated Lisanneâs suggestion seriously.As the Speiser family was worried that Harold, Leandro, and Big Black Bearâs men might take revenge on her, they spent a huge amount of money to erase any information about her on Chaneaâs web.Xavier also suggested that she should not return to Chanaea for the time being and remain hidden.However, at that moment, she suddenly thought that Lisanneâs words made sense too.Since Harold was such a vicious and petty man, he would not abruptly change his mind if he had set his mind on taking revenge.Given that he would find her one day, she would rather make it a quick battle. She could lure him out directly by leaving out some clues deliberately. Dragging it out further was not a solution.âYouâre right, Lisanne. Itâs best that heâs coming to us. However, I need to be prepared early. Why donât we do this? Rest well at home while you wait for my updates. You donât have to care about anything else.âAs all Lisanne wanted was to bring Christopherâs corpse back personally, she would not listen to Winnieâs suggestion.She asked anxiously, âWhat are you planning to do? Whatâs your plan? I donât need to sleep. Tell me your plan! I can help!âWinnie glanced at Lisanne and said, âIâll discuss it with Lucas first. When we have a detailed plan, Iâll tell you.ââSure! Lucas will definitely be helpful. Letâs go back quickly.ââOkay.â Winnie nodded while replying to Lucasâ message, informing him that she would be bringing Lisanne back soon.He praised her for coming up with such great solutions.Meanwhile, Lisanne was so anxious that she jumped to her feet to leave the restaurant immediately.However, she realized something wrong with her body the moment she stood up. âOh no!âLisanne looked at Winnie with a frown.Not knowing what happened, Winnie quickly stood up as well and scanned her surroundings. âWhat happened?ââIâ¦â Lisanne lowered her voice. âI got my period.âWinnie heaved a sigh of relief and glanced at Lisanneâs pants subconsciously.Since she was wearing a thin pair of chiffon pants, the red stain was quite obvious.Winnie soon came up with a solution. âI have a jacket in the car that Iâll get for you. Wait here for me.âLisanne nodded. âHurry up, then.ââOkay!â Winnie strode out and returned with the jacket within a minute.Since her jacket was quite long, it was able to cover the embarrassing stain on Lisanneâs pants.The moment Lisanne went out, her driver was about to open the car door for her.However, since the driver was a man, Lisanne felt embarrassed and did not want to be in the same car as him.She instructed, âGo back first. Iâll take my friendâs car.âWinnie glanced at the driver and nodded at him slightly. Although the driver did not know Winnie, his first impression of her was that she had a very strong presence.However, precisely so, he was afraid that something bad might happen to Lisanne. He immediately called Lucas and reported it to him.When Winnie heard him making that call, she deliberately waited till the call ended before starting the engine.Having found out Winnieâs identity from Lucas, the driver bowed at Winnie. âDrive safely, Ms. Garland.âWinnie started the engine and asked Lisanne, âDo we return directly or deal with the stain somewhere first?âSince Lisanne was feeling quite uncomfortable, she immediately chose the latter. âLetâs deal with it first.ââOkay, we can go to my office. There are not a lot of people at the office now. Even the shopping malls arenât open yet.
Luckily, Iâve got some extra clothes and toiletries in my office. Thereâs a bathroom in the lounge for you to take a shower too.ââSure!â Lisanne wished for nothing more than a shower. âLetâs do that.ââOkay! Itâll take around ten minutes. Iâll be quick!ââ¦It had been a long time since Winnie went to Garland Group.Although it was only eight in the morning, there were quite a lot of employees who had reached the office early.They stared at Winnie with a look of respect and curiosity.A thought suddenly surfaced in Winnieâs mind when she noticed their reaction.She greeted the employees and brought Lisanne to her office.While Lisanne freshened up in the bathroom, Winnie checked some things on her laptop.
She even made a few calls and had a video call with Xavier for a few minutes.Soon, Jasmine arrived for work. She greeted Winnie and reported some important work-related matters.Seeing how busy Winnie was, Lisanne sat quietly on the couch beside the bookshelf after changing her clothes, not wanting to disturb her.After Jasmine was done with her report, Winnie walked over to Lisanne.Gazing at Lisanne, who now looked refreshed after a shower, she could not help but smile. âLisanne, you look much better now. The clothes fit you too. Are you all good now?ââYeah.â Lisanne closed the book that she had just opened and said, âIâm all good now.âWinnie nodded. âLetâs go.âTo her surprise, Lisanne suddenly changed her mind. She rose to her feet abruptly and said to Winnie, âI donât want you to go anymore.ââWhat?â Winnie frowned and asked in a semi-joking tone, âWhatâs wrong? Why arenât you letting me go with you? Does your family no longer welcome me?ââNo, Winnie.â Knowing that Winnie might have misunderstood, Lisanne quickly clarified, âThatâs not what I mean. Youâre always welcome at the Marsh residence. I just realized something. I havenât been in a great state for these two days.
Today, I even rushed out to look for you. It was only when I was taking a shower earlier that my mind cleared up. I was being too irrational earlier. I assumed that since Haroldâs looking for you, we can make him return Christopherâs corpse. However, it dawned on me that heâs not looking for you just to reminisce about the past and have a nice little chat. Heâs definitely planning to hurt you, so itâs too dangerous. You should remain hidden and stay away from any trouble.âWinnie was stunned. âI have a feeling you needed to tell me something when my assistant was talking to me. Is this what you want to say to me after keeping it inside for so long?â
