“Who said I want to punish you?”Huh?Jason's bent knees stopped in mid-air, his posture was bizarre, his expression was still stunned, and he looked a little funny.Derek was calm, his eyes serious. “I was also having the same problem recently, so I called you to X city, asking for your guidance.”Jason felt scared, he observed Derek for a long time and when he saw that he wasn't angry, Jason said.“My wife's personality is perfect, gentle like water, but she cannot reach the limit, otherwise she will go crazy. As for comforting a girl, it's nothing more than giving gifts and attitude. You have to be a little sweet. When she needs you, you step forward to her side."Derek lowered his eyes and thought momentarily, his expression growing more serious. “Bertha herself is a billionaire. She is not short of money, she can buy any gift herself, whether it is a precious or rare item, she does not put it in her eyes. This is not possible.”Huh?This means that the boss intends to pursue Miss
During this meeting, she felt that Bruno was very strange and that his behavior was also strange.If she doesn't go herself, how can she know what he wants to do?“Okay, where should we meet?”“Color Bar.”After thinking, Bruno added again. “This time it's just us three old friends, don't bring your pets.”“Um.”After hanging up the phone, Bertha thought for a long time, she analyzed what had happened recently.She decided to call Donald and Archie to her room.“I have a gathering tonight, I don't need too many people, I just need Archie to come with me, Donald, you go back to the villa first.”Donald looked at Archie next to him, he was a little nervous, he wanted to say something but hesitated. “Mistress…”Bertha lazily waved her hand. "Scat."Waiting for the two of them to leave, she called Venn again.“Kid, the second brother has investigated carefully, there is no record of a man with that appearance in the member list of Griselda's house.”Bertha pursed her lips tightly, and she
Bertha did not speak, nor did she deny, her eyes still contained the same faint smile.Bruno suddenly stood up from the sofa, he walked in front of her, took her glass of wine, and drank it in one go.Bertha's eyelashes trembled slightly, her expression unchanged.Seemingly stimulated by Bertha's unbelieving eyes, Bruno picked up the remaining half of the bottle of wine on the table and poured it directly into his mouth.Because he drank too hastily, a lot of alcohol spilled out of his mouth and onto his shirt, leaving dark red wine stains on his white shirt.After drinking the whole bottle of wine, he threw the bottle of wine onto the opposite wall. The wine bottle broke into pieces.“Do you believe me now?”His long slender legs slightly staggered two steps, and his phoenix eyes looked sadly at Bertha.As if feeling hot inside, he roughly opened the two buttons on his chest, his delicate collarbones vaguely exposed, combined with his face, he looked extremely charming. Unfortunatel
At the Color bar.The lights on the dance floor were magical, dazzling, colorful, blue, red, purple, and yellow.Bertha elegantly leaned her back against the pillar, she looked at Calista who was frantically dancing along with the others on the dance floor.She doesn't like noisy places.So she just wanted to stand aside and watch people, she always clapped her hands to encourage Calista to dance very beautifully.Occasionally Bertha glanced at the stream of people moving back and forth on the dance floor.Bruno was leaning against the second-floor railing. Because Bertha's position was a bit far away, combined with the flashing lights in the bar, she couldn't see his face. She just saw him looking down at the dance floor like she was right now.She didn't look anymore, suddenly Archie silently walked in front of her.His expression was very serious, and he whispered into her ear. "There's something wrong with the atmosphere in the bar today, please be careful."Bertha said "Um" softl
Derek's actions seemed to be a conditioned reflex, he quickly pulled her into his chest, the entire bottle of liquid was thrown straight onto his back, and his shirt quickly smoked."Hmm..."Burning pain shot through his body, Derek was in so much pain that his face turned white, his arms still holding Bertha tightly to his chest."Mistress, that's acid."Tommy shouted in fear.This statement was like a bomb that made everyone dancing enthusiastically on the dance floor scream and run away.The whole scene suddenly became chaos.The man who threw acid also took the opportunity to run away.Bertha was angry. "Tyrone, Casey, quickly go after him. We must catch him."Having finished speaking, she quickly observed Derek's situation, and she quickly took off his shirt.Originally, Derek had just caught a cold yesterday, but his resistance was still weak. In the afternoon, he had just taken two cold pills and had to do housework, his physical strength was exhausted.He was in so much pain t
“He wants to use acid to destroy my face, I just fight back, is that okay?”Her voice was cold, she wanted to take her hand away but couldn't.Bruno held her wrist tightly, his expression still stern. “He hurts someone, he should be punished, but if you hurt him, you will be like him. Don't forget, this is a bar, even if you clear the scene, there are still workers staring at you, all of them are witnesses."Bertha was a little startled, the corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile.“But I acted, how do you want to handle it?”Bruno was stunned for a long time before speaking. “I can pretend I didn't see it and I'll help you clean up the scene, but you can't hit him anymore. Derek is just a servant now, he's your pet. You don't need to cause trouble for yourself because of him."His words surprised Bertha.“If Derek hadn't protected me, I'd be the one injured right now, I'd probably have my face destroyed. How can you say such words?”Bruno was speechless.Bertha forcefully shook
But if anyone can't sleep, they can still play games.Occasionally, police would come to Bertha's room. They kindly asked her if she wanted to have a late-night snack. They could help her order delicious food from a nearby five-star hotel.The only bad thing: because of the control request, her cell phone was confiscated by the police.Bertha was lying on the small bed, she was bored, thinking over everything that had happened that day.While in the bar, she also noticed that Archie was nowhere to be seen, but since Derek had let Liam follow him, there was no big deal with him.But, what happened tonight was so strange, she remembered she met a man basically like Archie described. If that person wanted to do something, besides throwing acid, he would do more, right?Or, because Derek suddenly appeared with his subordinates, did he temporarily interrupt the plan?What is the next step that the other side will take?She thought, then fell asleep.—Tomorrow morning.After Derek woke up
Derek's eyelashes trembled slightly, he tried to hide the intense pain behind him, his expression was icy, and his dark eyes were deep.He asked in a low voice. “Where's Archie?”"I found it. He explains that he saw the man who had harmed Bertha earlier, but he did not catch up with him. I don't have any evidence, so I let him return to the beach villa first. Until then, he will report this matter to Miss. Bertha.”Derek spoke with difficulty. “Please continue to monitor Archie, once he takes any action, you immediately notify me. As for the Police Department, you, in the name of the National Investigation Department, asked them to release Bertha. If Bertha wants to interrogate the man who threw acid last night, then ask them to cooperate fully.”"Yes."Derek wanted to continue speaking, but his arms on the bed shook, and his whole body became weak.Seeing his condition, Liam felt something was wrong again. “Boss, even if you are injected with special medicine, sulfuric acid will only
"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…
