Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 161

"What about Luke? Have you ever thought about Luke? Luke is now very dependent on Winnie. If you separate them, Luke cannot accept it.”

It was the most important. They could not let a child in deep depression because of the adult's selfish interests.

"I worry that too, I don’t want to hurt Luke."

Felix knew it was difficult, but there was no perfect thing. He could only find a way to reduce the damage to the lowest to Luke.

"If Wendy comes back, I'll take care of Luke. I will never allow Luke to be bullied by his stepmother. Wendy left because Luke, if she can accept Luke, she would not leave. Even if she comes back, she is impossible to get along well with Luke."

Rufus said firmly. He came here with the main purpose of fighting for the custody of Luke.

About that, he could not communicate with Brian now, so he could only talk to his father. As long as he could have Luke, and took Winnie as his god daughter, Winnie could live with the two children, so that no one would be hurt.

"All right, let Luke live with you. I will talk to Brian."

For the time being, Rufus's idea was the best, and Felix had no reason not to agree.

"Have you improved your relationship with Brian?"

Felix asked.

"Yes. He's been to my house several times and had spoken to me."

"These are all the credits of Winnie. She was the only one who could convince Brian to do that. Take your time. A good beginning is half the battle."

Rufus said with a sigh. He got something on his trip to fight for the custody of Luke. As for Brian and Winnie, he could only try not to violate love.

Rufus left the old house and went directly to Richard's office.

Richard was even surprised when he saw Rufus.

Before he often met Rufus and he never met him and got news of him. He did not even show up when Penny and Brian married.

He was somehow uneasy, except for shock, at his presence.

"Rufus, long time no see."

Richard greeted him warmly, but Rufus was sulky with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I have something to tell you, otherwise we wouldn't meet."

Rufus's voice was cold and deep. He hadn't talked to others like this for many years.

The moment he saw Richard, he could think of the scene of Penny mistreating Luke, even if he wanted to be gentle.

"......All right, sit down, sit down."

Richard was embarrassed. Looking at Rufus's unkind expression, Richard could do nothing but smile.

Rufus sat down, but the cold momentum did not reduce.

When contacting with Richard at the beginning, Rufus knew his treachery, and now it seemed that Penny inherited her father's malevolence.

"I'll go straight to the point. You ought to teach your daughter to stop her mistreating my grandchild. She knew the existence of Luke when she married to Brian and agreed to accept him. She should be good to him. If she mistreated Luke again, have psychological preparation, I never missed in the business."

Rufus warned coldly. He was not afraid of revealing Brian's plan, not afraid of the Burns family getting prepared. As long as he made up his mind, he would achieve the goal.

Rufus never hurt anybody, but Penny provoked the wrong person, she should not mistreated Luke.

“I don't know what you're saying, Rufus.”

Richard looked at Rufus in daze, but he was no confident, because he was afraid of Penny to make trouble again.

"I don't seem to be making myself clear..."

As Rufus was to explain, Richard’s phone rang.

"President, Miss Penney came to see you."

"She can explain."

Rufus also wanted to meet Penny.

"Let her in."

Richard could only say so but it was not the right time Penny came.

As soon as Richard's voice fell, the door of the office was opened and Penny walked proudly in like a rooster.

"Dad......"

As soon as she saw Richard, she called him, Penny then noticed Rufus sitting on the sofa.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Penny was surprised and had a bad presentiment.

She could only see Rufus in the New Year reunion dinner, but unexpectedly he appeared in the office, she was nervous.

"I am here because of you. I won’t come if you did not maltreat Luke."

Seeing Penny, Rufus gnashed teeth and said coldly.

"Dad......"

Penny turned frightened from astonishment. His heart was beating violently.

Even in this panic, she did not choose to be honest.

"Dad, I don't understand what you're saying. When did I abuse Luke?"

Penny asked, looking innocent.

Penny had no repentance, which anger Rufus. He came up to Penny and gave her a slap on the face directly.

"You are ignorant. I won’t talk nonsense here without proof. You don’t repent and pretend you did not do that. Don't you know what you did? Aren’t you ashamed?"

Rufus angrily stared at her and loudly rebuked her.

He did not care that Richard was there, or that Penny was his daughter-in-law. What he was teaching now was a wicked stepmother.

"Dad......"

Penny was stunned by that slap. As she was to explain, Richard stopped her.

Richard saw Rufus's anger. It must be Penny's fault, otherwise Rufus would not beat her.

"Rufus, let's talk. There's no need to be angry. Penny, you go out first. I want to talk with Rufus alone.

Richard went to Rufus, took Rufus's arm and said with a smile on his face.

"You can't go, tell your father how you mistreated Luke. Show your father if he has a cold-blooded, treacherous daughter."

Rufus would not allow Penny to leave anyway. He saw through the trick of Richard. He was afraid he would again beat Penny.

For so many years Rufus never beat others, but now he was furious. He could not vent out his anger if he did not beat Penny. He did it for the sake of Luke. But this slap was simply insignificant compared with Luke's injury.

"I..."

It was the first time that Penny saw Rufus as angry as a lion. She was so scared that she did not know what to do. She could only look at Richard.

"Then you stay and tell me all about it, and we'll figure it out."

Richard had to ask Penny to stay. It seemed that Rufus would not give up.

"I... I'm sorry, dad. I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit Luke. But don't get me wrong, I regard Luke as my own child. He has wrong and I disciplined him."

Penny did not dare to hide it, and she could not lie. But she must find a reason for herself, or Rufus would kill her.

However, her words once again infuriated Rufus, and Rufus mercifully slapped in the face of Penny again.

"I'm not asking you to lie but to explain. I'm giving you a chance to repent. It seems that you have no idea of repentance. "

Rufus loudly rebuked. He did not expect that Penny was more ignorant than he imagined.

"I..."

"What happened, Penny?"

Richard interrupted Penny in a sharp voice, afraid she once again angered Rufus and got another slap.

"She has used up the chance, I'll say it."

Rufus never gave second chances to others, especially Penny.

"She maltreated Luke when Brian was not there. She beat him, scolded him and put him in the warehouse. Such things happened more than once, so Luke got depression. He's just a kid and you did that to him."

Rufus scolded Penny pointing at her nose. Penny was trembling and her eyes were erratic.

"I'm sorry...”

"Richard, let me tell you, the child of my family has never been so maltreated. If you don’t teach your daughter a lesson, don't blame me."

"You should know me. Once I make a move, there is no way for you to make it up."

Rufus did not want to listen to Penny's sorry, do not want to look at her. If it was not bound by other things, he would now let Penny pay the price.

Rufus said coldly and turn to leave directly.

Richard got angry at the moment Rufus left.

He stared at Penny, with the flame of rage in his chest.

"Is that true?"

Richard said coldly, which made Penny shudder.

"Yes, it's true."

Admitted Penny at last. But the next moment she was slapped again, not one but in succession, and her face became numb.

"Are you stupid? Luke is important to the Bennet family and you dared to abuse him. You don't want to live?"

Richard loudly scolded, he felt that Penney was of no use.

"When you got married, I told you that the existence of Luke is a good thing for you. As long as you treat this child well, the Bennet family will certainly treat you with special regard. You can only do something to him when your position in the Bennet family is stable."

"You didn’t hear me? How could you waste such good opportunity? You deserve to be beaten."

The more Richard scolded, the angrier he became. He felt that Penny had reached a hopeless point.

"Dad, I was wrong. I couldn't stop getting angry, so I vent anger on him."

Penny sobbed as she confessed her mistake, ignoring the swelling of her cheeks.
