Chapter 1470 Sounds Like Mr North
She would be willing to lay down her life for him.
"Mr. Knowles, it's my fault for misleading them with the wrong information and causing harm to you and Ms. Benett. I am to blame for staining yours and Ms. Benett's reputation."
Brie's words caught in her throat as she felt a pang of pain thrum in her heart.
She had acted rashly based on her assumptions. Although Mr. North had misunderstood them before, he had never tried to spread false rumors about them.
Mr. North even suspected that Elisa was Winslow's daughter.
Brie wasn't privy to everything that happened, so he shouldn't be too harsh on her.
However, Winslow was insistent on letting Brie go.
"Elisa and I had finally been reunited by fate. She's my family member. If I couldn't even protect her from rumors, how is she able to trust me in the future? Just leave, Brie."
After considering everything, Winslow made the decision that Brie had to leave.
But Brie didn't want to go; she was adamant about staying by his side.
She inched closer to him on her knees. "Mr. Knowles, you could take my life, but please don't chase me away."
Her voice was a hoarse whisper as she begged for mercy, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
She was more capable than Mr. North in many ways. Winslow had always relied on her and valued her skills.
Winslow didn't want to punish her as harshly as he did with the other employees, considering all the years she had worked for him. However, he knew that he had no choice but to fire her.
"Do you really think I can keep you around?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.
"I know you wouldn't keep me here anymore, and I would rather die than leave your side."
She pleaded with him, her voice filled with desperation.
Brie was determined to stay by his side. Even if she had to die today, she wanted to die by his side. She had given her heart to him the day he took her in and brought her to work in the casino.
The fervent determination in her eyes made Winslow hesitate.
He knew he couldn't kill her, no matter how many rules the casino had or how heartless the system was.
He also understood how critical her assistance has been throughout these years.
"I'm not going to kill you," he muttered finally. "Not after everything you've done for me."
Winslow turned his back on her, his shoulders rigid. He didn't say another word.
Winslow crossed his arms behind his back, his expression unreadable. His body language made it clear that his decision was final.
Brie knew what Winslow's actions meant. He was done with the exchange of words between them.
It was too late. There was nothing she could do to change his mind.
She had been so quick to judge and spread rumors, and so she had to pay the price.
It was all her fault!
Brie got up and drew the gun from her waist.
Within a second, she could have pulled the trigger and ended it all.
But she didn't want to leave any loose ends.
Brie took a deep breath and mustered up her courage. She was about to tell him how she felt after all these years.
The door suddenly opened with a loud woosh, and Brie's heart skipped a beat.
"Mr. Knowles."
The person that entered his office was Mr. North.
His voice made her regain her senses, and she lowered the gun.
Winslow's eyebrows snapped together when he heard Mr. North's voice. "What happened to your voice?"
The sound of Mr. North's voice was like nothing Winslow had ever heard before.
It was different, somehow...off.
But how would he know? The real Mr. North had been violently beaten up by Gareth and was pinned to a cross in the basement.
The person in front of him was Gareth, wearing a realistic human mask and using a voice changer to sound like Mr. North.
Gareth kept his composure, even though Winslow was clearly suspicious of him.
"It could be because of the cold I caught," he replied calmly.
