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
Liam stood there obediently, rubbing the wound on his cheek.Derek lay on the bed, he closed his eyes, and pain appeared between his eyebrows.It wasn't until Tommy walked in that he broke this quiet atmosphere.Seeing Liam also here, Tommy was a bit surprised. He asked as he put the breakfast on the table. “Liam, when did you arrive?”Liam doesn't talk.Tommy walked up to him and looked. As soon as he saw Liam's face, he was startled.“What's wrong with your face? Why are you injured? Who hit you?”Tommy couldn't believe it and looked at Derek, who had a weak expression on his face, he basically couldn't hit Liam.Liam controlled the anger in his heart. He pulled out a tissue from the hospital bedside table, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said uncomfortably. “No, I beat myself.”Tommy gulped, not understanding why Liam was hitting himself.Tommy felt scared, so he helped Derek open the porridge box.Derek sat up, he suddenly looked at Liam. “What are you standing t
Allen opened several other surveillance cameras there was only the back of the other person, he was wearing a mask, dark glasses covered his face, and his face was completely invisible. Allen guessed that this person had a large physique.This man is not only arrogant, he is also very familiar with the police department's surveillance equipment. Are there spies in the police department?Allen was angry, but Bertha laughed.This man was very similar to the one she met last night in the hallway of the Color Bar.Furthermore, with this action, he was indeed deliberately provoking her.She took off this person's mask again.After leaving the monitoring room, Bertha went straight to the door.As for Saint's autopsy report, she was no longer interested, and she led Tyrone and Casey away from the police station.Donald stood outside to welcome her.Seeing Donald, she suddenly thought of someone still in the hospital. “Why are you here, how is Derek?”"Mr. Derek's okay. His injury last night
Derek nodded, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. "Okay."Bertha turned and walked toward the door.As soon as she turned around, Derek couldn't stand the fishy taste that suddenly rose in his chest. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand and silently vomited a mouthful of blood.Bertha is sharp, she hears very small noises.She just walked to the door but turned around to look back.Derek was on the hospital bed with his head bowed, his left hand still under the blanket, his right hand holding a spoon to eat porridge.His eyelids drooped, his long curled eyelashes trembled, and he did not look at her.Bertha frowned, not hearing, she opened the door and walked out.Except for Tommy who stayed at the hospital, the other bodyguards quietly followed her."You don't need to follow me, go home first and wait for me."“Huh, Mistress?”Donald didn't stop her but saw her going in the opposite direction.Bertha quietly went to the doctor to treat Derek.Walking to the office door
