Kelly learned that Barbara was suddenly kicked out of the competition, so she went to the organization area and dealt with Mica so that Mica wouldn't dare report her again.
Mica was cornered, her whole body trembling, the words Bertha said in the morning suddenly appeared in her mind.
She gritted her teeth, picked up the dirty mop in the corner, and waved it majestically in front of the other three people.
'Kelly, I tell you, I always gave in to you before, but from now on, you will not dare to touch a hair of mine."
"Okay. So let's play a game, let's see if you can beat us?"
Four girls rushed into each other, the bathroom kept ringing with shrill screams, and the scene was chaotic.
The next morning Bertha found out about this.
Kelly's face and nose were bruised from being beaten so severely, that she announced that she wanted to hire a lawyer to sue Mica for intentionally causing injury.
Anne stood next to him and said. "Three people beating one person is unreasonable. She is shameless and wants to sue Mica. She is too unreasonable."
Bertha also laughed. "I leave this matter for you to resolve. Whether Kelly wants to hire a lawyer or she wants to cause causeless trouble, you just fight with her. We support Mica."
"No problem, director."

Bertha has been busy these past few days, and Derek hasn't had any free time either.
Beachside villa.
Bertha hasn't come home for three days in a row, and Derek doesn't understand why.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the scene of Bertha and Venn together would appear before his eyes.
As soon as he thinks about it, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.
Why is that?
Before, he thought that the person he liked was Laura but after Bertha divorced him, he realized that he no longer loved Laura.
This time, he doesn't miss Laura. She is just a memory to him. His love for Laura has been dead since the day she said goodbye.
When Laura wanted to get back together with Derek, it was because he pitied her that he stayed by her side. At that time, he did not love Bertha. He's just heartbroken because his first love broke up.
But now things are different. As he interacts with Bertha more, Derek finds that Bertha can always influence his emotions: anger, surprise, heartbreak, and guilt.
It seemed like her existence was very special to him.
Although he was very confused in his heart, he was not free these days.
By pretending to leave the house so the bodyguards could stop him, he found a hiding place where two bodyguards stayed to guard the villa. He found a clear rule, if Bertha didn't come back tonight, it would be his only chance.
He sat on the sofa thinking, the flower garden gate next to the living room suddenly opened.
Thinking that Bertha had returned, Derek stood up and wanted to go pick her up.
But he saw that it was not Bertha who came in, but Tommy.
Tommy led three tall men behind him. They walked in aggressively, their eyes looking at him without much sympathy.
Derek felt the threat. He looked towards Tommy and asked calmly. "What are you doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three men behind Tommy rushed towards Derek aggressively.
Two people walked up to him, they held his shoulders tightly.
The other person stepped in front of Derek, and he aggressively raised his fist, preparing to punch Derek in the face.
But Tommy promptly stopped it. "The third young master said, don't hit him in the face. With this weak body of his, how many punches can he withstand? Don't hit him in the face, otherwise you will ruin this precious face."
Third young master?
Derek narrowed his eyes, he smiled coldly. 'I don't know who your third young master is, why does he want to beat me?"
Tommy said, imitating Venn's cold tone. "You are not at fault with the third young master, but you injured Miss. Bertha. The third young master will punish you severely."
Venn is heartbroken over Bertha, he wants to replace her to get revenge on Derek.
Derek felt very strange inside.
"So this is just the third young master's order, it's not Bertha's idea?"
Tommy was silent.
"What's the difference? You're the one who signed the agreement with Miss. Bertha, you shouldn't have evil thoughts. But in the middle of the night, you sneaked into her room and injured her. Could it be that you are not worthy of punishment?"
Even though injuring Bertha was not his original intention, it was because of him that she was injured.
He is responsible.
Besides Venn sent these people here, Derek guessed that nothing good would happen today.
"You tell them to let me go, punish me however you want, I accept."
"Okay. You're very brave."
Tommy winked and signaled to the two people holding his shoulders. The two of them understood and let him go.
"The punishment is very simple, the third young master considered your current health situation, so he asked us to give you a hundred lashes as a warning, how about? This doesn't bother you, right?"
Tommy took two big rattan whips, smiled, and stared at Derek.
Venn initially planned to use a horsewhip.
But Derek's body is very weak, if he can't stand it and dies, it will be difficult for Venn to tell Bertha.
The rattan whip does not beat people to the point of bleeding, but it can cause pain and the next day the wound will be swollen.
That feeling is very tormenting.
Derek also knew this well, the corner of his lips curled up and said sarcastically. "The punishment is very simple, the third young master is truly a tolerant person."
Tommy heard the strangeness in his words and said with a smile.
"Are you ready?"
Derek nodded, he voluntarily walked to the wall, facing the wall, his hands on the wall.
A rattan whip carrying the howling wind suddenly flew forward and fell directly on Derek's back, making a crisp sound.
Derek gritted his teeth, his hands almost instinctively clenched into fists.
