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

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

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

He reluctantly smiled bitterly at Bertha. “Yes, I just slipped, but luckily I reacted quickly and caught the boss's arm so I didn't fall.”It was just a small matter, Bertha didn't care, and she quickly left the abandoned construction site.Derek let Liam drive his car and he sat in the car with Bertha and they returned to the villa.On the road, he sat upright, his suit straight, his back not touching the car seat.Bertha noticed that but she remembered the wound on his back so she didn't think too much and just asked. “How is Bruno's side today? Can you ask him anything?"Derek's throat moved, it took him two seconds to speak. “No, but don't worry, tomorrow I will make him tell the truth.”"Okay."During the journey, neither of them said anything else.Soon they arrived at the beach villa, and both of them went into the living room.Bertha was slowly changing her shoes.Derek changed his shoes, grabbed the railing, and went up the stairs.He had just gone two steps when he stopped,

It seems his face has improved a lot."Why don't you put on your coat? Have you taken your cold medicine yet?"Although her tone was as cold as ever, she had just returned and asked about his health, which made Derek feel warm."You said you'd look at my wound when you came back at night, so I didn't wear it."As he spoke, he pulled his shirt halfway up his arm and showed her the bandages on his back. "It's just, during the day I only had minor injuries, now you see, I've bandaged it up."Bertha remained silent and said nothing.On the contrary, Calista stared at Derek's face and then seriously asked Bertha. "Sister Bertha, who is he? He seems very handsome. Your eyesight is very good, the men around you are all very handsome."Because last time at the Color Bar, when Calista walked up to them, Derek was injured so she couldn't see his face.This time seeing Derek's face, Calista's eyes couldn't leave Derek.Bertha said expressionlessly. "My maid."“Just a maid?” Calista's eyes lit up
