Chapter 62 He Is My Only Bet in Life


    Winona’s instinct was that Benjamin must''ve known the inside story; otherwise, he would not be here.


    He slowly opened his eyes while his heart ached. “Why don’t you believe the news?”


    “I understand my man. He has his principle and he sticks to it. I’m a hundred percent sure that he


    would not do such immoral things!” Winona insisted.


    His blood boiled and he became very agitated as he yelled, “You only knew him for two to three months


    but you’ve known me for over twenty years. Why do you choose to trust him instead of me?”


    She slowly released his cor and said, “Benjamin, there is noparison. He is my husband and my


    only bet in life. We grew up together and you are my lifelong friend. I do not wish that we can no longer


    be friends.”


    What she said was like a dagger that stabbed him in the heart. He spent so many years with her and


    now she only said that they were friends? It was beyond all doubt that he loved her. The only problem


    was he was unable to express himself and used to bury his feelings for her. She was the only woman


    he loved.


    He took a while topose himself and then slowly said, “Matt’s methods are very heavy-handed and


    sinister and naturally made a lot of enemies within the country. They hoped that he would note


    back alive. There''s the possibility that they''ve formed an alliance against him.”


    “Ah! So they intentionally created a rumor to nder him. That is as good as stabbing him in the back!”


    “Winona, seize the opportunity to divorce him since not many people know about your marriage to him.


    I will arrange for someone to hasten the process.”


    Clunk, she opened the door and said coldly, “Mr. Larson, please get out of the car!”


    “Winona, I’m doing this for your own good. I can’t bear to see you implicated by him. Once you are


    under investigation, they would eat you alive. You''ll die before you even know it!”


    She turned and smiled, “Thanks for the warning. Matt once said to me, till death do we part.”


    Benjamin got out of the car and stared as she drove off. He clenched his fists and punched the wall


    repeatedly until fresh blood stained the wall. The pain was nothingpared to his heartache.


    He regretted letting her go. He bent down and cried sorrowfully, “Winona, Winona…”


    Winona was driving back to the manor when Karen called, “Madam, don’te back! Argh!”


    “Karen!” Winona yelled.


    Then a man’s voice said, “Madam, where are you now?”


    Winona quickly ended the call and turned off the phone. She stopped the car and threw the phone into


    the trash bin. She untied her hair and let it cover her face partially and blended in with the crowd.


    She did not expect the authority to conduct arrests so soon. The headlines were just rumors and those


    useless officials actually took it as evidence. She now believed what Benjamin said. Someone wanted


    to bring Matt down. Not only was the news trying to nder him, they knew that public opinion was far


    more effective in destroying a person.


    Very soon, the police found Winona’s phone and her abandoned car.


    “Find her! She must be nearby!”


    However, they looked for a long time but still could not find her.


    “She is as cunning as Matt!”


    “This is just her final struggle. We have men in every road intersection, train station, and airport. We’ll


    catch her unless she grows a pair of wings and flies herself out of here.”


    At this point, a schoolgirl was helping an olddy across the road.


    “Thank you, Miss. There’re not many kind souls around now.” The olddy said.


    “No thanks. I’m helping myself by helping you.” Winona said and turned to leave. Her short and neat


    hair coupled with her baby face made her look like a female student.


    The night fell and the President’s Office was brightly lit. The guards stood and stared forward at


    attention.


    In front of the President’s Office was the Shorehut Park. There were numerous tall French sycamore


    trees. A petite body was hiding behind one of the trees. She patted the cat in her hands and said, “The

    ham that you want is in that box. Go get it!”


    She released the cat and the cat ran towards the rubbish bin which was at the entrance of the


    President’s Office.


    Bang! The car was shot dead. The guard kept his gun and said, “Tonight everyone must be extra alert!


    Not even an animal can get in!”


    Winona’s heart sank. Matt was in trouble. Now the only ones who could save him were his mentor


    Frederick Tucker or the President. However, due to Lilian’s incident, Matt and his mentor had a falling


    out. Thus, the best chance was to approach the President for help.


    But security at the President’s Office was very tight today. Even animals were not spared. There were


    only two possibilities now. One was that the President was now under someone’s control and all


    external information was kept from him. The other was he had abandoned Matt which was why he was


    unable to face him. The heightened security was the result of his guilty conscience.


    Regardless, she had decided to try getting into the President’s Office so that she could win Matt a


    fighting chance.


    Inside the President’s Office, The President was focused on some documents. A ck figure appeared


    in front of him. He had thought that it was a cleaner and did not raise his head.


    Suddenly, a cold de was pressed against his waist as the figure said, “Mr. President, do you still


    remember me?”


    He raised his head and saw a pair of crafty eyes and thought that he had seen someone else. He then


    came to his senses and asked, “How did you get in?”


    Winona patted the dust off her body and said, “I hid in the rubbish bin and stole a cleaner’s uniform.” Of


    course, the unlucky cleaner is now in the rubbish bin.


    “You don’t have to treat me like this. I always trusted Matt and do not believe that he would do such a


    thing.” The President said.


    “Then why did you aid those people to take action against Matt’s subordinates?” Winona asked.


    “I don’t know about this. It must be those bastards at the Senate. You should know that although I’m


    the President, certain things are out of my hands.” he exined.


    “Then ording to you, I’ve wasted my timeing here?” Winona asked.


    “Matt had broken off contact with me. Tomorrow I’ll send my secret squad to Esnurg to locate him.”


    “Okay, count me in!” Winona demanded.


    He looked at her with admiration, “No wonder you’re Matt’s woman. You’re brave, resourceful,


    courageous, and knowledgeable. Very impressive!”


    “Thanks, Mr. President. Do you mind if I spend the night here?” Winona requested.


    “Certainly. Tomorrow I’ll embed you within the secret squad and sent you to Esnurg.”


    He then dialed a number and instructed a guard to take her to her room. As she turned around, she


    suddenly felt a cold gun barrel pointed against her head, “Ha! Miss Winston, how dare you sneak into


    the President’s Office? You’re brave but too foolish!”
