The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 217

Bennett's tone grew somewhat sullen, "Well? Go on, then!"

Winona's face turned slightly pale. She nodded and slowly walked upstairs with heavy footsteps

When her back disappeared at the corner of the stairs, Bennett looked at Mr. Cruise and said, "Winona's my favorite person. I usually won't like anyone shooting her a second glance. But I'll hand her over to you today, so you'll have to be nice to her."

Mr. Cruise leaned on the back of the chair. Although his eyes were still a little drunk, he was obviously not as dazed as before. His eyes looked indifferent and calm. "Something happened back in Glooney, so Mr. Hilde decided to shorten his trip to Cantent this time around. He has already started to consider the matter of signing the contract. As long as I put in a few good words for you, Mr. Townsend, he'll agree to it as soon as possible."

Bennett got up and poured another glass of wine for Mr. Cruise. While putting his hand on the back of his chair, his eyes flashed as he leaned over. He lowered his voice while chuckling and said, "The Townsends can do this collaboration with the Merck family all on our own. We have the capability. If you can get Hilde to agree to only sign with me, then you may head upstairs!"

Mr. Cruise thought for a while and said, "I've constantly been working hard to fulfill your wishes before, Mr. Townsend. So I think...."

He raised his head and smiled. "It shouldn't be a big issue."

"I believe that you can make it a reality." Bennett stood up and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Ms. Moore's already waiting for you in the room. I wish you a good time!"

"Thank you, Mr. Townsend, for willing to share something you cherish!"

Mr. Cruise said in a gentlemanly manner and turned around to walk upstairs.

Bennett looked at Mr. Cruise's back view with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He turned to leave the villa

When Suzy and George were about to return to the manor, she received a text message from Winona asking her to come look for her at around two in the afternoon.

She looked at the time and realized that it was already almost two o'clock.

Suzy then asked Winona what was going on, but Winona never replied to her.

It was about a quarter past two by the time they got back to the manor. George had other matters to deal with, so Suzy decided to go look for Winona first before sending the bracelet over to Mrs. Merck. George asked casually, "Why is she looking for you?" "I don't know. I asked her about it but she hasn't gotten back to me. I'll head over to see what's up.'

George nodded. "I'll ask Jessie to go with you."

Suzy nodded back at him and took Jessie with her to go see Winona.

Upon reaching the outside of Bennett's villa, Suzy asked Jessie to wait outside the door and went in alone.

There was no one in the living room on the first floor, and even all of the servants were gone. Suzy's face flashed with suspicion, and she called Winona again, but no one answered even after quite some time. Suddenly, Suzy heard some movement upstairs. She walked along the stairs to the second floor. As soon as she got upstairs, she heard Winona's scream. "Please! I beg of you! Don't touch me! "Go! Go away!" Suzy was startled by this. She pushed the door open and was about to rush in, but she was stunned when she saw the scene inside. Inside the room, Winona was pressed onto the bed by a tall man. Her clothes had been torn off and she was struggling violently. She tried to escape again and again but was dragged back by the man and thrown onto the bed. As for the man who was forcing himself onto her, it was Hilde's butler, Mr. Cruise. At this moment, Suzy was incredibly calm. She wondered if this was a plot hatched by Winona and Bennett. First, Winona would have to lead her here. Upon seeing that she was getting bullied by Cruise, if Suzy were to rush over to stop him, this man would certainly become angry and hold grudges. This would directly affect the collaboration between George and Hilde. With Bennett's wicked character, it was possible for him to hatch up a plan like this!
