1096words
Mrs. Darla pretended to wipe away tears and continued speaking. "My poor daughter was beaten very painfully, she vented her anger again, the wound still hasn't healed, and she is in a coma..."
'My daughter didn't do anything wrong, just that one time at the party, she misunderstood that Bertha was wearing a fake dress, not expecting the woman to take revenge. With such evil and aggressive actions, I must sue her so that everyone can see her true face..."
Bertha didn't care, continued to see what she said, then Bertha snorted coldly and drove back to Angle's company.
Anne saw that she was silent so she hung up.
Returning to the company, beautiful Bertha entered the garage, kept a cold expression, and entered the building.
A few people gathered in the hall on the first floor and whispered loudly, someone saw Bertha entering, they immediately bowed their heads and said something, and the rest quickly dispersed.
She didn't pay attention to those people's whispers, she went straight to her office.
Anne had been waiting for her in the office for a long time. Seeing her figure, Anne ran over impatiently.
'Director, you're finally back. You haven't seen the news yet, right? This is getting more and more serious."
She said as she turned on the computer for Bertha.
Ms. Darla's denunciation blew up social networks.
Many netizens are discussing this.
Fortunately, the majority of netizens are very rational, and the types of comments are not uniform.
Many people sided with Bertha, and they were stoned mercilessly.
This is Laura's plan.
It seems that she has learned from the previous experience and used public opinion to gain everyone's sympathy, putting Bertha at a disadvantage.
Bertha put down the iPad and continued to be busy preparing for the selection. She didn't pay attention to that matter.
'Director, do you have no intention of reacting to this?" Anne asked cautiously.
'No need to react, just do your job well, ok?"
Without raising her head, Bertha answered.
This difficulty is not worth her concern.
She wanted to see how far Laura could take this story.
Anne looked at Bertha's indifferent appearance, sighed, and quietly walked out.

In the hospital.
Mrs. Darla ended the interview, and then the reporter left, her crying voice from earlier was immediately withdrawn, and changed to a smiling, happy, and gloating expression.
Deep in her heart, she always hated the third person's daughter. After Laura entered Greer's house, she wished her eyes could turn into a sharp sword to stab Laura to death.
This time, Laura was beaten so miserably, that she also felt very happy.
But Olwen is lying in the hospital bed, she is still unconscious, and Laura is the only heir.
To protect the reputation of Greer's house, before Olwen woke up, she was forced to pamper Laura in front of others.
Just thinking of this, Mrs. Darla hates Laura even more.
Seeing her lying on the hospital bed with a weak appearance, her heart became even more proud, and a happy look appeared on her face.
She turned around and was about to go get her phone, but she was suddenly caught off guard and saw Derek standing outside the door.
'Hey… Derek, come in quickly, don't stand outside like that."
The smile on Mrs. Darla was a bit angry.
She didn't know when Derek stood there. Was the smile on her face at that time seen by him?
'My daughter is pitiful. She was beaten and humiliated by that woman. Luckily, she still had friends with her."
Mrs. Darla pretended to shed tears, she caught a glimpse of the okay expression on Derek's face, she saw he was the same as usual, so she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
'You two, please talk, I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay."
Derek bowed to her and entered the hospital room.
Laura was lying on the hospital bed. Seeing him coming, she was excited and wanted to sit up.
But she accidentally touched the needle in her arm, and it hurt so much that she gasped for air. She had to restrain herself from showing a fierce expression, to maintain her image.
'Be careful, don't make a mess."
Derek walked over to her and sat on the chair next to her.
'Derek, fortunately, I still have you, otherwise I don't know what I would do." She moved her body little by little, approaching Derek with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.
Derek quickly moved away from her, but still said a few words to show his concern. 'How is your wound? Is it any better yet?"
'It's much better now."
Laura pretended to be shy, so she approached him.
'I still have work to do first, please rest." Derek stood up to leave.
'Derek. Can you stay by my side a little longer?"
Laura immediately caught his arm, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked a little pitiful.
'I will help you investigate this."
Laura was a little scared. If Derek knew the truth, he would hate her. Laura was about to say no, but he had already gone out.
The hallway outside was deserted with no passersby, so quiet that you could hear the sound of breathing.
Cadell had been waiting outside the hospital room for a long time.
As soon as he saw Derrek come out, Cadell politely handed him a file.
"There have been new developments in the matter of Laura being beaten, I have attached the results on the back of the document."
Derek flipped a few pages and saw a few photos.
He looked closer, his eyebrows had relaxed and now frowned again.
He recognized the green Santana in the photo even though it was broken.
Thinking of this, a fire flared up in his heart, and he was extremely confused.
The remaining photos are similar, the last one is a bit different.
In the photo, in the darkness of the night, several people were dimly visible, he tried to distinguish, recognizing one of them as Bertha.
"According to these photos, as well as information about Miss. Bertha's movements that day, Miss. Bertha appeared at the scene where Laura was beaten. There's also this."
Cadell said, pointing to one of the photos. "Miss. Bertha seems to be making a deal with someone."
