“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
“Bruno, I slept very well last night. When I heard that you wanted to leave the city, not knowing when you would return, not knowing why... I always felt empty in my heart.” Bertha's delicate eyelids frowned slightly, her slender hands gently hugged her chest, looking heartbroken.Her voice was so soft and her sad gesture made Bruno unable to control himself.“Stupid girl, you certainly have feelings for me but don't worry too much. Regarding the matter of the secret investigation department over there, I have handled it quite well. For the time being, I can stay in the city for a while longer."Knowing that he was not leaving for the time being, Bertha was very happy. “That's great, just in time for Calista to come to town, we can happily hang out together for a few days.”Bruno also smiled and said. “That's right, but let her play alone, I just want to hang out with friends more like now.”Bertha laughed at her but said nothing.Bruno looked at her, suddenly he remembered something,
A roar rang out through clenched teeth.Bertha was startled, she knelt on the ground on the spot.“Eldest brother, I really know it's wrong, I knelt, and you still don't forgive me?”The man on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, he suppressed his anger and spoke. “How many times has this been brought to the police station? I didn't calculate before. This time there were a lot of employees at the bar, but you hit someone. Bertha, you are truly courageous. If that person was forced by you to take a risk and you were injured, what would you do?Bertha mumbled something in her mouth, she was a bit dissatisfied. When she raised her head and saw Venn shaking his head, the intention was to tell her not to add fuel to the fire.She spoke softly. “I was wrong, next time I won't be like that again.”Fawn sighed, he didn't know what to say, he paused for two seconds then he changed into a cold tone again. “If you have knelt, then please kneel for an hour, Venn will supervise
