Her voice was cold, she wanted to take her hand away but couldn't.
Bruno held her wrist tightly, his expression still stern. 'He hurts someone, he should be punished, but if you hurt him, you will be like him. Don't forget, this is a bar, even if you clear the scene, there are still workers staring at you, all of them are witnesses."
Bertha was a little startled, the corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile.
'But I acted, how do you want to handle it?"
Bruno was stunned for a long time before speaking. 'I can pretend I didn't see it and I'll help you clean up the scene, but you can't hit him anymore. Derek is just a servant now, he's your pet. You don't need to cause trouble for yourself because of him."
His words surprised Bertha.
'If Derek hadn't protected me, I'd be the one injured right now, I'd probably have my face destroyed. How can you say such words?"
Bruno was speechless.
Bertha forcefully shook his hand away, her eyes were cold beyond belief, and she stared at him. 'Bruno, my current friend makes me feel strange."
His eyes trembled slightly, those deep blue eyes were a little hurt, he quietly took a step back, no longer stopping her behavior.
Not being stopped by him, Bertha's mouth curled into a cold smile, and she squatted in front of the man again. 'Come on, let's continue."
"No, I do not want…"
Bertha ignored his pleas, she aimed right at the back of his hand and held up the broken piece of the wine bottle.
"Stop."
She was about to smash the wine bottle down on the man's hand when suddenly there was a scream at the door.
It was Allen, captain of three divisions, leading a team of police quickly towards Bertha.
"Mr. Bruno, you're here too."
Allen went inside and saw Bruno, he quickly greeted Bruno. Seeing that his face had no expression, Allen stepped forward and snatched the bottle of wine from Bertha's hand.
Seeing the tragic situation of the man on the ground, he snorted softly.
He carefully observed Bruno next to him, he saw that Bruno's face was very unsightly, he did not want to protect Bertha, he said. 'Miss. Bertha, we received a report that someone is causing trouble at the bar, please come with us to the police station."
Bertha smiled softly, her voice soft. 'He threw sulfuric acid at me, harming my subordinates. I just took revenge, and I wasn't careful so I used a bit too much force."
Allen looked at the man's bleeding face and instinctively swallowed his saliva.
Like this, she says she's not careful?
He said with a serious face. 'Miss. Bertha, what is the specific situation? Anyway, you have to come with us to the police station."
Bertha blinked her beautiful eyes. 'If you want to investigate and interrogate me, no problem, how long will this take?"
Allen answered as he put the electronic handcuffs on her. 'I can't say this, it depends on whether you end up committing a crime or not."
Other police officers also stepped forward to handcuff Tyrone and Casey.
Calista heard the movement, she ran over and shook Bruno's hand. 'Brother, sister Bertha is about to be arrested, you can't sit still and not care."
Bruno didn't say a word, his deep phoenix eyes stared at the back of Bertha being taken away.
Unable to convince them, Calista wanted to move forward to stop them, but she was stopped by Bruno's subordinates, so she could only watch Bertha sit in the police car.

Because of exhaustion, Derek was in a coma for several hours before he woke up.
Derek's back wound was bandaged and treated. The doctor saw that he looked so good but his body was so weak, he was extremely sad. In addition to giving him water, the doctor also gave him nutritional solutions.
It was midnight when he woke up in the hospital room, Tommy and Donald were sleeping in the hospital bed next to him.
Looking around the hospital room, he didn't see Bertha.
He instinctively panicked, waking Tommy.
'Where is Bertha?"
Tommy yawned. 'The owner is at the bar dealing with the consequences. I guess she probably finished dealing with it and returned to the villa to rest."
Derek frowned slightly, his low voice trembling slightly. 'She... didn't come here?"
'No, she told me Donald to take you to the hospital."
Derek's dark eyes gradually became gloomy, his heart felt like it was on fire.
He was in even more pain when acid was splashed on his back.
Tommy saw that Derek's face was very unsightly, so he quickly comforted him. "Mr. Derek, don't worry, it's too late now. She will be very tired after handling everything, I guess she will be here early tomorrow morning."
His thin, pale lips pressed tightly into a straight line, he said nothing, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.
But in his heart, he knew that Bertha was not coming tonight, and perhaps she would not come tomorrow.
A sleepless night.
—
X City Police Department.
Because the scene of Bertha beating someone was witnessed by the police team, plus the time was too late they had to close, early tomorrow morning they could officially investigate so Bertha could only stay at the police station for one night.
Allen learns Bertha's true identity from Bruno, he feels his legs go weak.
The youngest daughter of Griselda's house, the richest family in S city, is Fawn's precious sister.
Last time he almost brought such a big figure into the cell.
Allen thought back, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Because this matter was still under investigation, he arranged for Bertha to have a luxurious single room in the police department, and even Tyrone and Casey were put in a double room.
In late fall, the accommodation the police department provided to the suspects was an empty room, with partitions, no bed sheets, no chairs, no place to wash face, and no one to go to the bathroom. must also report to the guards.
The floor was damp, some prisoners chose to squat to sleep.
But Bertha's small room was different, with soft sheets, a full single bed, and a crystal-felt carpet. They were afraid she would catch a cold, so even the table and telephone were thoughtfully provided for her.
Although the computer can only connect to the police department's internal network, it cannot connect to the outside internet network.
