Her voice was so soft and her sad gesture made Bruno unable to control himself.
'Stupid girl, you certainly have feelings for me but don't worry too much. Regarding the matter of the secret investigation department over there, I have handled it quite well. For the time being, I can stay in the city for a while longer."
Knowing that he was not leaving for the time being, Bertha was very happy. 'That's great, just in time for Calista to come to town, we can happily hang out together for a few days."
Bruno also smiled and said. 'That's right, but let her play alone, I just want to hang out with friends more like now."
Bertha laughed at her but said nothing.
Bruno looked at her, suddenly he remembered something, his phoenix eyes narrowed.
'Bertha, I heard you went to the hospital to visit Derek today, how is he?"
Bertha's smile gradually stiffened, her tone was disgusted, and she opened her mouth. 'He relied on saving me last night, he asked for a reward. Anyway, I'm tired of his acting skills. He's been bothering me for the past two days."
Bruno is very happy. 'If you're tired of him, why don't you throw him away? After all, he is just a small pet, from now on it will be okay to have me by your side."
Bertha smiled.
'Of course, but he was hurt because of me anyway. I can't just use him and abandon him. If this story gets out, people will say I have no conscience or ethics."
Bruno's expression stiffened. 'So what are you going to do?"
'When he is discharged from the hospital, I will temporarily raise him in the villa. During this time, I will not let him go out to avoid bringing disaster. When the time is right, I will let him go free."
Bruno was silent, his blue phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not refute.
Bertha rolled her eyes, she changed the subject. 'Bruno, I encountered something very scary today."
"What's up?"
'I went to interrogate Saint, the guy who threw acid last night, but he was already dead, just ten minutes before I went in. The mastermind behind it blatantly provoked me in front of the surveillance camera. I always felt that he was going to come and kill me, and I was very afraid."
Bruno's expression gradually became serious. 'How could this happen?"
"That's right."
Bertha tilted her head, her sharp, suspicious gaze fixed on him.
'Bruno, you are a member of the military, the entire police department in the city must listen to you. Regarding this matter, no one informed you?"
Bruno paused for a moment, his phoenix eyes serious. "During the day I was busy dealing with the secret investigation department so I didn't ask about last night's case. I don't know, but..."
He stopped speaking, his eyes were apologetic, and stared at Bertha, explaining. 'Sorry Bertha, because I was angry with you last night, I didn't stop Allen from taking you away, making you suffer all evening at the police station. But you have to trust me that I haven't changed, I'll always be your Bruno."
Bruno spoke so excitedly that he reached out and took Bertha's hand.
'Of course I trust you."
Bertha smiled softly, she calmly took her hand back, she elegantly pushed her hair behind her ear. 'That's right, my money has been in the hands of Helga Corporation for too long, if I don't go get it, I will feel unhappy. In the future, I will still need your help."
Bruno did not refuse. 'Of course, as long as you want to do it, I will help."
Bertha smiled until her eyebrows arched, very gently.
The two of them chatted for a while.
At eight o'clock in the evening, this meal ended.
Bertha refused Bruno's invitation that he wanted to take her home, she took Donald and Archie and drove back to the beach villa.
After sitting in the car, the gentle smile on her face stopped, and her eyes became cold again.
The pressure in the car is extremely low, which can directly make people cold and shiver.
Donald and Archie realized she was in a bad mood and they didn't dare breathe.
Arriving at the seaside villa, Bertha suddenly discovered that the light in the living room was still on. She asked Tyrone to find out that Venn was there.
She opened the door to the house, Venn was sitting on the sofa with a strange expression.
'Third brother, what's wrong with you?"
Venn blinked at him. He pointed to the phone in his hand and spoke softly. 'Eldest brother called you, but you didn't pick up the call, so he called me."
For a moment Bertha stopped breathing, her heart was pounding.
Until now she is not afraid of anything, even her father, she dares to anger him directly, the only thing she is afraid of is her eldest brother Fawn.
Looking at the third brother's unsightly face, the eldest brother looking for her was not doing anything good.
Bertha's calves almost went limp like a conditioned reflex, she said in self-pity. 'Third brother, please don't call him back, let me think slowly."
'Bertha Griselda."
Just as Bertha finished speaking, a stern voice rang out on the phone in Venn's hand.
It turned out that Venn's phone was always connected and on speakerphone.
Fawn called her by both her first and last names, which meant he was extremely angry.
Knowing she couldn't run away, Bertha trembled as she answered the phone, her voice soft. 'Elder brother, I was wrong, don't be angry…"
'Where are you wrong?"
On the other side of the phone, Fawn's voice was extremely cold.
Venn was next to her, holding his breath in concentration, not daring to say a word.
Bertha thought for a long time.
Honestly, she doesn't know either. "If you say I'm wrong, I'm wrong, everywhere is wrong."
'Bertha!"
