Before saying goodbye, Bertha took out a large envelope that she specifically told Alex to bring to her, then she gave it to Faye.
"In here is five hundred thousand dollars. You should move to a place where no one can see you. After Karlina finds out, she will hunt you down all over the country. So temporarily hide carefully."
Faye took the envelope with a complicated expression. She was dissatisfied and asked again. "You said you would save my mother from Karlina, bring her safely to me if you dare to deceive me..."
Bertha smiled and interrupted Faye. "Without that possibility, I can do it if I say it."
Faye is attracted by Bertha's sparkling eyes.
"Okay, I believe you."
Waiting until there was no longer a trace of Faye, Alex approached Bertha and spoke in a low voice. "Miss, why don't you kill her, and also give her money?"
"She didn't mean to kill me. Her biological mother, her only refuge, was held hostage by Karlina, so she had to work for Karlina. After all, Faye is a pitiful person. I already know her weakness, and give her money, she will appreciate me and help me, she will not harm me for personal gain."
Seeing that Alex didn't say anything, Bertha added. "Don't worry, I'm not a god, I absolutely will not forgive someone who wants to harm me, but letting her die is too easy, I had to let her endure the torment, half alive and half dead. That's the best revenge."
Alex saw her smile and he smiled too.
"Mr. Venn's guess is right, you have already planned it."
Bertha immediately raised her head and glared at him. "You two dare to speak ill of me behind my back? Have you forgotten that I am the owner of Angle Group? Do you still want to receive your salary?"
Hearing that, Alex immediately laughed. "Don't, ladies, I was wrong."
Indeed, you shouldn't offend women.
Bertha wasn't joking with him anymore, she shrugged her shoulders. "Let's go, go home. I have to get some sleep to regain my spirit. This isn't over yet. Maybe tomorrow will be the real battle."
Saying the last few words, she unconsciously turned her head and looked at a large closed store across the street.
That is a store belonging to a branch of Greer's house company.

Midnight.
Laura was taken to the hospital for examination.
The doctor's preliminary judgment was that she had two broken ribs, a mild concussion, and countless large and small injuries. Luckily, she had no injuries to her blood vessels.
Derek sat alone on the bench outside the operating room, his eyes were dark and deep, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After what happened, he told Cadell to notify Greer's house.
But Mr. Danny and Mrs. Darla waited until morning before rushing to the hospital.
'Oh, my poor daughter, why has this happened to you?"
In the hallway, Mrs. Darla's cry rang out from afar, but not a single tear flowed from her eye sockets, she even laughed at the pain of others.
On the contrary, Mr. Danny walked up to Derek with a sad expression. When he saw Derek's gloomy face, he said a few words of comfort.
Derek did not respond to those words of comfort, just politely said. 'Uncle, aunt, please sit down."
Mr. Danny was dissatisfied and asked. 'Derek, my future son-in-law, what just happened? Why is Laura so injured? Who caused it?
The eldest daughter just had a car accident and became a vegetative state. Not long after, something like this happened to Laura. Is this someone causing trouble for his family? Or is it because Greer's house has had a lot of bad luck recently?
Derek was silent for a moment before answering. 'Cadell has gone to investigate."
Mr. Danny saw that Derek didn't answer, so he didn't say anything more, sitting on the bench next to him, waiting.
Mr. Danny had been sitting down for less than two minutes when the operating room lights were turned off.
The doctor walked out and said that Laura's surgery was very successful. During this time, Laura was not allowed to move. Everything was fine. She could be transferred to the VIP room.
Three people standing in the hallway followed, and they went into the hospital room to visit her.
Laura woke up, her whole body wrapped in white bandages, her swollen eyes struggling to open and as soon as she saw Derek enter, she burst into tears.
'Derek, if it weren't for you, I probably would have died. Luckily, you came at the right time, so I wouldn't have been humiliated by those men. Derek, I really can't leave you, can you stay here with me?"
Laura weakly pulled his hand. He completely did not expect that this battle would also involve him.
At first, she sent Derek a text message to turn him on, to let him know Bertha was a whore, being ridden by thousands of men so that he could later focus all his attention on taking care of her.
Unexpectedly, this time the person who suffered was herself, but that message coincidentally became the thing and saved her.
Derek sat next to Laura's bed and calmly said 'Um'.
Laura saw that his attitude was not enthusiastic at all, she said sadly. 'Derek, can't you say a few words of comfort to me? Do you not love me anymore?
Without waiting for Derek to answer, Mr. Danny winked first. 'Laura, don't be angry, why doesn't Derek love you? Whoever harmed you is responsible for this matter, tell me, I will get justice for you."
"I…"
Mentioning this, Laura pretended to be pitiful and began to sob.
'I just remember Bertha saying she wanted to see me, so I went to that place. As a result, on the way, I was beaten by someone until I fainted. When I woke up, I was in that small house. It was very dark inside the room, I couldn't see anything, someone was hitting me. He also said Bertha bought my life, she told them to torture me to death…"
'I'm very scared, really scared…"
She cringed, as she just thought about that feeling of almost desperate pain, her whole body began to tremble, and she looked extremely pitiful and helpless.
After hearing this, Mr. Danny was extremely angry and looked towards Derek.
