The masked man walked up to him, and he got straight to the point, speaking. "Lately there's been a sample bottle of the biochemical drug S404 missing from the lab. I've been investigating its records. Half a month ago you visited and took notes at the lab."Bruno was dissatisfied and said. "I'm not the only one who visited the lab. Why do you suspect I took it?"“Because the day you asked Bertha to go to Color Bar, at the same time someone took that bottle of medicine, can you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?”Bruno frowned slightly. "How do you know?"The man with the devil mask descended in front of him.Revealing Derek's cold, handsome face.Bruno stared at his face, his eyes filled with wonder. "It's you again. Why do you have this mask? I don't believe the head of the National Investigation Bureau could be you."Before, he only felt that Derek was not normal. He even sent someone to investigate. Derek's file was too clean. At that time, Bruno suspected th
Bertha didn't pay attention to that, she asked. "How's it going? Did he declare anything just now?"Derek shook his head and said. "No, he refused to talk.""I want to talk to him alone for a moment.""Okay."“Your subordinates are not allowed to eavesdrop on our conversations, including you,” Bertha emphasized.He was suddenly taken aback, his voice a little depressed. "Okay."After Bertha entered, Derek helped her close the door, he and his other subordinates went under the next tree and waited.In the small room, Bruno saw her enter, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly."Bertha, I didn't expect tonight's dinner to be a scam. Could it be that all this time, you pretending to love me was just pretending?"Bertha also did not hide. “Yes, otherwise, how can I catch you.”Bruno smiled, his smile was somewhat mournful.“When did you start being wary of me?”“From the moment you took out the gun and wanted me to choose whether to shoot Derek or Laura, I knew there was something wrong
He took off his suit jacket and put it on Bertha's shoulders, which he wrapped tightly around her small shoulders. "It's late at night, it's very cold outside. Get in the car and wait for me. I'll be there soon."Bertha did not refuse, she nodded and returned to the car.After she had gone away, Derek called Liam over, his expression returning to its cold expression.“You should use all means to force Bruno to reveal everything within two days. The method and process are not important, even if it makes him disabled, it's okay. From the police department, I will explain, I just need the results."“Yes, boss.”Derek looked toward the small room again, his eyes growing darker and darker. “When this is over, reward him with a vial of sulfuric acid.”Liam said. “Is sulfuric acid too convenient for him? What he threw on your body was the biochemical S404 virus.”"What? Are you planning to use S404? There are only ten bottles in total, so expensive, he doesn't deserve it. I will contact the
He lowered his eyes, still trying to find a way to deceive her.Under Bertha's gaze, he slowly took off his silk shirt, revealing perfectly firm eight-pack abs, the bandage in the middle spoiling the beautiful feeling a bit but the skin was honey. His is strong and eye-catching.But right now Bertha was not in the mood to enjoy. After Derek undressed, she stood up and walked towards him. “Please turn around.”Derek obediently followed her instructions.Bertha took action directly, she used brutal force to tear off his bandages.Because there were about ten layers, she removed each layer one by one, her movements were quick, and her hand strength was great.After removing the last layers, the blood stains under the tape were visible, and Derek groaned.Bertha heard the sound of his groaning, her movements became much gentler.After removing the bloody bandage, a hand-sized burn mark on his back appeared before Bertha.Bertha frowned deeply, many days had passed, and his wound was still
Bertha's whole body was cold, she folded her belt in half, and her eyes were dangerous, raising her belt high, she pretended to hit Derek's injured back.But her eyes stopped on the hand-sized wound on his back.Bright red flesh and blood, ugly wounds, it's really easy to attract others' attention.Furthermore, this injury was caused by him shielding her, otherwise, the injured area could very well have been her face.Thinking of this, Bertha's heart was extremely complicated. Her wrist seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force. She couldn't bear to hit him.She silently sighed, her whole body suddenly seemed to lose all strength.Because she realized that she was starting to hurt him.This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.Being in Tibble's family for three years was like living in hell, she had never felt a ray of warmth. After the divorce, during this time, she felt Derek's changes and feelings. If she said she wasn't emotional, she'd be lying.But.That's the old pa
Liam replied respectfully. He came close to Derek's ear and whispered.“Boss, you guessed right, something happened to Archie, yesterday he drove to the suburbs, got out of the car for about ten minutes, and by the time Miss. When Bertha arrived, he calmly returned.”Derek frowned. “Do you know where he went?”Liam shook his head. “This kid is like a thief, our subordinates can't catch up with him.”Derek smirked, he fell into thought for a moment. “Okay, everything here, I leave it to you, I have to return to the beach villa.”Arriving at the mansion, Derek didn't go upstairs, he went to the backyard.Bertha didn't bring Archie to the company today, she let him stay at the villa. When Derek returned, Archie had just left the underground guard station to go to the bathroom. At this time, he was washing his hands in the bathroom.Seeing Derek, he smiled and said. "Mr. Derek, what a coincidence.”Derek's expression was cold. “No coincidence, I came to find you.”Archie faced Derek, his
At the same time, Derek led Liam into the ruined house. Three men were standing in the room waiting.The man who was the master of the other two was over forty years old. When he saw Derek enter, his face immediately filled with a smile. He bowed respectfully to him."Hello, young master."Derek said with a cold expression. "Uncle Harold, what's wrong?"The man Derek called Uncle Harold, his expression slowly became serious, and he presented honestly. "In the chaotic family, we need you to leave immediately and return with me to handle everything."Why such a rush?He spoke without thinking. "No, I still have a lot of things to do in City X. In a few days, I will return on my own."Uncle Harold's expression became more and more ugly. "Young master, this time we have an urgent matter. You must return with me. The boss said that this is the best opportunity for you to sit firmly in a position of power."Derek was silent.He also thought he could still stay with Bertha for the last seven
Liam's voice trembled. "Impossible."Derek ignored him. “Uncle Harold, continue.”Liam was so angry that his eyes turned red and his fists turned white, but he was an outsider standing here, he had no way to drag that stubborn idiot Derek away.Uncle Harold did not move, he felt that Derek was not lightly injured.His eyes looked at Derek's back.He can only hit Derek's back hip if he continues to land the last ten blows.Harold pondered for a moment, he looked at the two bodyguards in the room. “You guys go out and keep watch.”"Yes."Waiting for the two of them to go out, Uncle Harold took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on the wooden bar and waved it again.Ten consecutive hits rang out.They all hit the open ground.“Young master, I have finished beating thirty times, you can stand up.”Uncle Harold said as he wiped the wooden stick clean: "The deadline is three days, by then you must return, remember carefully."Liam helped Derek up. "Thank."Uncle Harold bowed slightly to h
"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…
