Derek walked out of the bathroom before his eyes were Bertha's "Lover" video.
He was a little depressed. If he knew that the last person to be tired was himself, he wouldn't have helped her this time.
He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, then opened them and saw Bertha's face, especially her big round sparkling eyes, both innocent and stubborn, once seen, she would remember forever.
Also... a bit familiar.
Seeming to remember something, Derek decided to call Bertha.
He wanted to ask her something clear.
Called the first time, but no one picked up the phone.
Called the second time, the phone sent a signal that the call could not be made.
Doesn't she want to see him?
Derek threw his phone aside in frustration and went to sleep.
Laura arrived at a small abandoned house outside the city.
Faye had been standing at the door waiting for her for a long time.
Laura came closer to see the wound on Faye's face and body. She was immediately startled and scared.
"What happened? Why are you injured like this?"
Faye bowed her head, unable to see the emotion in her eyes. "On the way, the woman protested violently. As a result, there was a small accident. I accidentally poured too much medicine in, she..."
"I'll go inside and take a look."
Faye stops her. "You came here alone tonight, does Miss. Karlina know?"
Laura's face immediately darkened, extremely unhappy.
Every day, Karlina always acts arrogant. It was very difficult for Karlina to come to S city.
Laura and Karlina are just a business partnership, they are not close, so whatever happens, she has to report to Karlina.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Laura glared at Faye and said. "You are the person Karlina sent to work for me. She is no longer in City X. You just need to listen to my orders, understand?"
Faye bowed her head even lower. "I got it."
"Your mission is complete now, go away."
"Yes."
Faye finished speaking but still stood.
Outside the small abandoned house, there was only a light that flickered from light to dark. It was impossible to see clearly what expression was on that bloody face.
Laura saw that Faye hadn't left yet, and she was very upset. "You don't understand what I'm saying?"
"Alright." Before leaving, Faye took out a phone from her coat pocket and gave it to Laura. "This is that woman's phone. Someone called her just now. I was afraid it would affect your plans so I put the phone on silent mode."
"I know." Laura arrogantly took the phone.
Waiting for Faye to leave, Laura turned on Bertha's phone and immediately saw the missed call on the screen.
Just by looking at it, Laura was angry.
Even though she didn't mention the caller's name, she knew clearly who it was.
It's late now, Derek took the initiative to call Bertha.
As for her, every time she took the initiative to find him, after meeting him again, Derek never paid attention to her.
Based on what?
It was clear that she was his fiancée, and that the woman was the third person interfering in their love affair.
Derek and Bertha are divorced, what is he calling her for?
The more Laura thought, the angrier she became. She couldn't hide her hateful and evil eyes.
She angrily raised Bertha's phone high, wanting to smash it immediately.
But she suddenly stopped. A wonderful thought appeared in her mind.
She used Bertha's phone and sent a text to Derek.
After that, Laura aggressively threw Bertha's phone to the ground. As if her anger wasn't over yet, she used her high heels to step on the phone, until the phone screen broke, then she stopped.
At this moment, she looked towards the abandoned room, tonight she was determined not to let Bertha have a chance to escape.
Thinking so, she immediately pushed the door open. The room inside was very dark, without any light.
What's going on? Couldn't Faye have left an oil lamp behind?
Laura was suspicious and took two steps, the dust in the room made her cough a few times.
It was so dark, she couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, Laura felt panic, she was about to go out to find Faye, tell her to bring an oil lamp.
Suddenly the door was closed.
Realizing something was wrong, Laura immediately ran towards the source of the light and knocked on the door. "Who? Who's out there? Faye? It's you, right, Faye? Open the door for me."
There was no movement outside the door.
So quiet that it scares people.
Laura breathed, trying to regain her composure, she turned around, relied on the feeling to grope around, and screamed at the same time. "Bertha? Bertha, are you here?"
No matter how much she shouted, all she received was silence.
Realizing that she was alone in this small room, Laura immediately lost all defense.
Was Bertha playing tricks?
But Faye is Karlina's subordinate, how could she help Bertha harm Laura?
Could Karlina have linked up with Bertha?
"No way. It can't be like that..."
Laura felt extremely confused in her heart. Her hands held her head. She squatted down in fear, cowering and trembling.
The endless darkness filled her with fear and despair.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside the room.
Laura immediately held a ray of hope, she stood up and frantically banged on the door. "Whoever's out there, let me go. Quickly open the door."
The sound of the door opening.
A tall figure walked in, then a second person, a third person...
They were all men she sent to deal with Bertha.
Laura was about to lean on the light source to run out the door, but immediately, she was held back by one of those strong men.
"You recognize the wrong person. It's not me. I'm not Bertha."
Her response was a strong slap.
