Zillah and her mother were not satisfied, but they pretended to be silent under Bruno's pressure and did not speak up.
Bertha stroked her skirt and looked at Bruno beside her with gentle eyes.
'Bruno, I'm a little tired, you should handle the matter here. Zillah likes to tear up papers, just let her tear up all the papers in this living room and then take her to the police station, what do you think?"
Bruno raised his eyebrows, his blue eyes both deep and gentle.
'I will listen to you, but..."
He stopped momentarily, gently holding Bertha's hand before continuing to speak. 'I helped you with such a big matter, but last night you suddenly left. How should you make it up to me today?"
She smiled and spoke seductively. 'Of course, to compensate you, wait until you finish work, come to the beach villa tonight, I will cook and treat you to a meal, how do you think?"
Bruno felt both surprised and happy.
Then he thought about the troublesome group of people in her villa. 'But in your villa, there is someone I don't want to see."
"Does not matter."
Bertha smiled. 'He's just my maid. Tonight, let's have a few drinks, I'll ask him to stand next to me and pour you some wine, what do you think?"
Bruno saw her calm expression, his eyes pampered her, then smiled and said. 'Okay, I listen to you."
'Then I'll go home first, I'll wait for you in the evening."
She took her hand from Bruno's palm and looked towards Archie. 'You stay with Bruno to help him, don't be lazy."
'Yes, Mistress."
After completing the instructions, Bertha moved out of Zillah's mansion, leaving the stage to Bruno and the police department.
When she got in the car, her expression gradually became cold.
She opened the box of wet tissues and wiped her hands clean.
After solving the problem of Helga's house, it was still early so she went to Angel company and focused her attention on Kirjani and Mica's recent filming progress.
Busy until the afternoon, she returned to the beach villa two hours early.
When she returned, Derek was squatting on the ground and mopping the floor.
Because the special medicine in his body has been cured, this housework is also much easier for him.
Seeing Bertha come home so early, Derek felt a bit strange. 'You left early today, it's only half the afternoon, you probably don't want to have dinner that early, right?"
Bertha nodded slightly and stood at the door, not moving.
Derek voluntarily stopped what he was doing, he washed his hands, then helped her get slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them down.
Then he helped her take off her coat and hang it on the clothes rack.
After finishing all this, he continued to clean the floor.
Bertha did not go upstairs but sat on the sofa quietly watching him clean the house.
After looking at him for a few minutes, she spoke. 'Put aside what you're doing and come here."
"Okay."
Derek went to wash his hands again and then walked to her feet. He knelt on one knee and slowly squatted down.
Bertha was very pleased with his usual obedient appearance.
She grabbed his chin and studied his expression.
Without special medicine, his skin was no longer as pale as before and his dark eyes were brighter.
Although his face was still very handsome, it looked sharper than this time around, he didn't look as easy to bully.
Bertha smiled. 'I still like your old state when you got hit with special medicine, now you seem even more difficult to handle, not easy to tease, or…"
She stopped and then curled her lips into an evil smile. 'How about I inject you with another special medicine, let me continue to bully you for a few days, and when I get bored, I will give you the antidote?"
Derek's breathing stopped, and his black eyes flashed with surprise.
Are these the words of a human?
When he was injected with 023, it was extremely painful. Furthermore, his back was still injured so the pain would increase even more.
That pain can kill a person.
He is bitter. 'If your happiness depends on my pain, as long as you give an order, as long as you can trust me now, I will obey unconditionally."
"Really?"
Bertha lifted his chin a little higher again and forced him to look at her.
Derek stared into her sparkling eyes, and he nodded firmly.
Seeing him so serious, Bertha laughed and let go of the hand holding his chin. 'I'm just kidding, I don't have such cruel and crazy pleasures."
Derek narrowed his eyes, he didn't say anything.
The joke ended, and Bertha became serious and started talking. 'Your juniors don't look weak at all, especially Liam. If they fight against an elite, well-trained army, what are the odds of victory?"
'If they fight directly, I don't know how, but with Liam's strength, when he fights it will take a bit of time but the loss rate is not high."
Bertha softly said 'uhm' then she lowered her head in thought.
'Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Bertha replied with another topic. 'Bruno is coming to the villa for dinner tonight."
Derek didn't say anything, he seemed to frown unconsciously, and his eyes immediately became gloomy.
Bertha saw all his reactions, she leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Evening.
Seeing Bruno coming, Bertha stood at the door of the seaside villa waiting for him.
Bruno came here directly in a military vehicle and he only brought with him two of his closest juniors.
As soon as he got out of the car, he looked up and saw Bertha still wearing delicate makeup. She especially came out to welcome him, Bruno couldn't hide his happiness.
'Bertha, you're so beautiful tonight, obviously we just met during the day but it's only been a few hours, I feel like half a month, I'm already missing you."
'Why do you also learn these sweet words?"
