Bertha asked all the girls in turn, and they all gave very fake answers, without any results.Bertha could only find Ivy who was eliminated last week to ask.Ivy said. "My votes were so low that I was eliminated, how would I know? But, indeed, Zillah never came to find me, this is not like she did. But I know that Barbara had a bad relationship with Mica before. She often takes advantage of the camera's absence to secretly bully Mica. Maybe you can investigate this."Barbara?Bertha nodded. "Okay."Bertha immediately asked the person in charge to investigate Barbara's diary and discovered she had just gone out early that morning. Half an hour after she left, the organization area reported that Mica was missing.Could this be a case of violence?Bertha quickly called the staff to find an excuse to call Barbara back.Barbara entered the staging area and was grabbed by staff, taking her into the conference room.Bertha sat at the head of the conference table, staring coldly at her, start
Because it's rest time, there are no cameras in the venue, and places like the restrooms don't even have surveillance cameras.Kelly learned that Barbara was suddenly kicked out of the competition, so she went to the organization area and dealt with Mica so that Mica wouldn't dare report her again.Mica was cornered, her whole body trembling, the words Bertha said in the morning suddenly appeared in her mind.She gritted her teeth, picked up the dirty mop in the corner, and waved it majestically in front of the other three people.“Kelly, I tell you, I always gave in to you before, but from now on, you will not dare to touch a hair of mine.”"Okay. So let's play a game, let's see if you can beat us?"Four girls rushed into each other, the bathroom kept ringing with shrill screams, and the scene was chaotic.The next morning Bertha found out about this.Kelly's face and nose were bruised from being beaten so severely, that she announced that she wanted to hire a lawyer to sue Mica for
He had not yet had time to digest the pain brought by that rattan whip, followed by a second and third, directly hitting his back, leaving him with absolutely no chance to breathe.Pain, really pain.Because he was injected with special medicine, his physical condition became very weak, his skin also became more fragile, and the feeling of pain increased even more.This special medicine was originally used for prisoners of war and kidnappers who committed major crimes. After being injected, their bodies will have no ability to resist, and the pain during punishment will greatly increase, leading to extreme physical and mental torture.Unexpectedly, one day, this drug would be used to torture him, even though the version of the drug had been improved.The sharp pain in his back interrupted his thoughts.More than twenty lashes landed on Derek's back, the bottom of his shirt turning a purple-red color.He held his breath, not letting himself scream, he bit his lower lip until it bled, c
Nine o'clock in the evening. Derek was awakened by the sound of birds singing. He endured the pain in his back, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly stood up. He still has work to do in the evening, so he has to stay awake. He returned from the railing to his room on the second floor, went into the bathroom, and turned on the shower on the hot water side. Because the shirt on his back was stained with blood, he was in a coma for six hours. He didn't have time to change clothes, so the blood from the wound got on his shirt. If he tried to change his clothes, he could peel off a layer of skin, so he could only use hot water to remove his shirt quickly. When the hot water touched the wound on his back, it was like he was being tortured a second time, like there were hundreds of needles on his back. Derek was in so much pain that he was shaking. He clenched his teeth. Even though his body ached, his mind became more and more alert. A few minutes later, he changed into a clean shirt
At this moment, he screamed miserably again. Was he intentionally pretending to be weak?He publicly denounced Venn.Casey and Emilio were angry, but they couldn't show any expression in front of Bertha.Bertha couldn't read the thoughts of the two of them.Derek's condition is quite poor, not like he's pretending.She unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt and pulled it down.Her eyes were covered with bruises, almost no part of it was healed, there were a few places where she had been hit hard, the scars had turned into dark purple blood streaks, and there were even broken, patchy wounds. blood.Casey and Emilio saw her face becoming colder and colder, they knew that in a second she would explode, so they prepared to kneel.Bertha's voice was calm. “Who hit him?”The two of them couldn't guess whether she was angry or not, so they answered honestly."It's the third young master."“What did he use to hit?”“Use… rattan whip, hit ninety times.”Casey stopped, and he quickly defended Venn
Bertha stopped at the door for a moment, smiling in response. "What are you suddenly telling me these things for? Do you think I will care about you?"Having finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.Casey was waiting outside the door when he saw her come out with a strange look on her face."Miss. Bertha?"She regained consciousness and glanced at the medicine box in Tommy's hand. "You go into the room and apply the medicine to him.""Yes."Casey bowed slightly, and after seeing her leave the second floor, he entered Derek's room.Derek was still in a dazed state.Looking at Bertha's reaction just now, she seemed very surprised by Fawn's matter, it seemed like this matter had nothing to do with her.He breathed a sigh of relief, the burden in his heart suddenly disappeared."Hey, Mr. Derek?"Casey's angry expression interrupted his dazed state. "Please take off your shirt and lie down on your stomach so I can apply the medicine."Derek took the medicine box from him. “No n
"Mr. Derek, Mrs. Victoria fell down the stairs. She said she wanted to see you. Please follow me to the car."Mrs. Victoria fell?Why is that?"Okay."Derek looked through the window and saw the other three people happily talking and laughing, his dark eyes contained complicated thoughts, then he immediately followed Tommy back home.—Mrs. Victoria was taken to the hospital, her leg was in a plaster cast and she was lying on the bed looking dejected.Hearing the door open, she looked up, and seeing that it was the boy she had always been waiting for, her eyes immediately turned red."Derek, I almost thought for the rest of my life I would never see you again..."Derek only lightly touched Mrs. Victoria's leg, which was in a cast, but she immediately shouted.Seeing her fake reaction, Derek walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down."Why did you fall down the stairs?"Mrs. Victoria was upset. She was about to explain when she saw Tommy standing behind Derek. "Dude, I haven
Bertha came to City X because she wanted to meet and get to know Derek after Derek's father told her a lot about him.For the past three years, she's been looking for a way to melt his icy heart. But he hurt Bertha for so many years, causing her love for him to now only become cold and revengeful.Derek's heart ached.Now he wants to save this love, is there still time?After exchanging news with Liam, Derek went down to the living room on the first floor in a complicated mood.Tommy lay on the sofa in the living room and he didn't wake up that quickly.Derek quietly walked next to him and sat down.He hadn't been sitting down for two minutes when Tommy woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Derek's expressionless face.He says. “I didn't expect you to fall asleep.”Tommy was stunned.“How can I sleep?”Derek's appearance is dignified. “I finished talking and saw you sleeping here. I waited for you to wake up. If Bertha knew about this when she returned, how angry would she be? But don't
"You're still not sleeping?"Bertha saw her husband enter the room as she stepped out of the bathroom, he looked tired after so much fun they had had today. After having lunch with Venn and Mica, Shane took them to a nearby park and Clement enthusiastically agreed. They spent the rest of the afternoon there, both he and Bertha played hide and seek with her son and they had a small picnic there. Clement was so happy when his dad finally promised to give him a dog for his fifth birthday after Shane and Bertha saw how adorable their son was playing with the dog in the park. After having dinner at another restaurant where many women squealed over their adorable sons, they finally went home. Clement finally fell asleep five minutes before they got home, much to his parents' delight.Shane hummed, put the phone down on the bedside drawer, and hugged his wife, who was standing in front of her dressing table. She smelled like soap and vanilla as he buried his face in the crook of her neck,
Five years later.Shane woke up when he felt someone snuggling into his chest, arms wrapped protectively around his neck. He opened one of his eyes and chuckled at seeing his five-year-old son practically hugging him. He looked at the clock and sighed slightly when he realized it was still seven o'clock in the morning. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and stewed chicken entered his nose when he heard loud voices outside the room. That immediately brought a bright smile to his face, looking at the sleeping boy as he stroked his dark hair and chuckled when he heard his son grumble at him.“Clement, wake up.” He whispered into his ear and the boy only responded with a growl.Shane removed his hand from his neck. “Your mother is home.”Hearing that, the boy immediately opened his eyes and looked at him with big eyes that were inherited from his father. Shane held back his laughter as he looked at his sleeping son and smiled proudly because he could see how great the resemblance was bet
Bertha was stunned, she and Shane glanced at each other, and neither of them understood what Susanna meant."I've always been Shane's fiancee, I've never changed, what rumors have you heard?"Susanna's face was cold: "Not long ago at the royal banquet organized by the Princess of Country H, you were so dominant on stage that you certainly didn't pay attention to the audience below. At that time, I was also present at the party.”Bertha's expression stiffened.If Susanna was present at the party, she would surely have known about her wedding to Bruno, no wonder her attitude towards Bertha was not good."That happened for a reason..."She wanted to explain but Susanna looked at her coldly. She walked over and pulled Shane's arm: "Come alone with me, I have something to tell you." Shane was dragged away.Bertha looked at the backs of the two people chatting in the corner, her eyelashes drooped, a bit lonely.Liam noticed her feelings, and he immediately went to comfort her: "Miss Bertha
"But do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment you walked into my cell, from the first moment I saw you, I was fascinated, I liked you. So I always pretended stupid, thinking that by doing so, I could stay by your side forever.""Raise a cute little girl to be your friend, raise her until she's white, then you'll 'eat' me, so I can completely become your girl. Isn't that good?"Liam: "..."This time, everything was roasted from Liam's neck to his cheeks, and his heart beat fast: "Do you know what you're talking about?""Of course, I know. I'm almost twenty years old, I'm not the naive type, I understand the trivial things between men and women."“…”Very good. It turns out he was a naive person before. The person who was deceived was also you?Is he a fool?Liam seemed crazy, his whole body wasn't feeling very well."Liam, what do you think?"Aimee's tone was weak, her watery eyes looked at him expectantly, as if she would be heartbroken if rejected.Liam raised his eyebr
He sadly turned away, his handsome face contorted as if to say 'I feel sorry for me, please come comfort me'.Shane's serious and angry appearance is also very adorable. Bertha held back her laughter, she gently stood on tiptoe and kissed his thin lips, she used a gentle voice to comfort him."Be good, I remember your preferences very clearly. From now on, I only care about you, forget about everyone else, okay?" Shane's face turned hot: "It's what you said."Bertha quickly nodded, the two hugged each other tightly as they watched the plane carrying Bruno slowly take off into the sky.---Sitting in the car outside the airport, hearing the sound of the plane taking off, Liam pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a drag.Cigarette smoke rose, and Lealia quietly observed his expression, she noticed that he was not in a good mood.“Liam, don't you want him to go?”Liam took a drag of his cigarette and said: “When he was in the dungeon in country H, he beat me one hund
Venn patted her shoulder: "Bertha, don't overthink. In short, this matter has been resolved well.""Yes." Bertha nodded.Leaving the court lobby, Bertha saw a man leaning against a luxury car. His familiar handsome figure made her anxious heart immediately look for a place to return.It's Shane.She immediately ran to him, her small hands slid into his open black jacket, and she felt his warm body around his waist.“When did you wake up? Is there discomfort elsewhere? Taking the opportunity that my second brother is still in S city, I will ask him to cure your illness."As soon as he met and heard her enthusiastic concern, Shane patted her head with satisfaction, he used his jacket to wrap around her fragile body and he hugged her tightly.“Maybe as soon as you arrived at the courthouse, I regained consciousness. Rest assured, your second brother's medical skills will not leave any disease on my body.”Bertha was a little less worried.Shane leaned close to her ear and said in a deep,
Shane understood clearly what Bruno wanted to ask, and he smiled slightly: "In the past half a year, because of you, I got sick, and almost died many times, but I also caused you the same pain and severity, I punished you almost to death. But since you gave me the antiviral medicine, my body has completely recovered, and our previous resentment seems to have passed.”Bruno was a bit taken aback.However, Shane said the same thing Bertha said earlier. He said the same thing Bertha did at the time.They are both ruthless bloodthirsty men, incompatible opponents, and mortal enemies. How could Shane let Bruno go so easily?Bruno propped himself up, he leaned against the headboard: "You know, I gave you the antiviral medicine because of Bertha. I didn't want to save you, I wished you would die.""I know."Shane's eyes were calm, and his expression was also calm: "This matter, you wanted to satisfy her, but she opened fire and shot you. Besides satisfying your death wish, she also wants to
Taking into account the eldest princess's stubborn personality for many years, when threatened by others, will she obediently compromise?But compared to this, she was even more worried about Mica.“Did Mica bring the photo here herself? Where is she?"Venn thought for a moment: "Just now she said she was going to the bathroom, she will return to the break room to join us in a moment."---On this side of the room, the eldest princess was angry, throwing things fiercely.Gaye Harold was afraid that she would damage his public property, so he quickly ordered someone to clean up the flower vases and teacups in the room and gave her soft pillows on the sofa.The princess took the pillow, struggled wildly, and tore the pillow into pieces, feathers flying all over the room.Gaye Harold helplessly supported his forehead.Okay, he had to pay for the pillow again, because he underestimated Lance Hilda's destructive power.Guy Haro stood to the side and cleared his throat. His voice was low an
Attorney Terry raised his hand to speak, then he looked at Bertha: "Miss Bertha, don't be afraid, what happened on the wedding day at the cathedral?"The Griselda House Lawyers Association seems to have planned very well. Just wait for Bertha to read everything on the paper they gave her, and then they'll give the judge Liam's injury assessment along with a bunch of evidence.At this moment, all eyes were on Bertha. Bertha bowed her head as if thinking about something."Miss Bertha. You can talk now.”Lawyer Terry called her and quickly pulled back her thoughts. His eyes contained a reminder: "Don't be afraid, rest assured, the judge is always fair and just, he will be your boss."Bertha looked at him, of course, she understood the meaning in his eyes.He's saying, put all the responsibility on Bruno, let Bruno shoulder it all, let him be named...After all, Bruno is dead, this is only for the living to see, and waiting for this to end will not have any effect on people's lives.But…
