From the moment her identity was made public, she knew that Boniface would find an opportunity to denounce her.
She just didn't expect him to be so impatient.
However, this came at the right time.
Hanging up the phone, she told her assistant to decorate the building and then returned to Griselda's house.
But as soon as she parked her car halfway up the mountain, Venn gave her a spare key to the villa where she stayed first.
She went in to get some things, then she leisurely walked to the lobby.
Just arriving in the hall, a few meters from the door, she heard the cry of Meryl - Boniface's wife.
"Oldest brother. You also saw this face of Boniface was destroyed by Bertha. You can't forgive her this time."
The son of the two of them - Maximus - was beside them indignantly. 'Uncle, Bertha is too much this time. No matter what, my father is her elder and relative, and even if she is dissatisfied with him, she cannot destroy him like this."
'…"
Mr. Tabitha was sitting in a wheelchair. Amid the accusations from Boniface's family, he remained silent and did not speak. He gently turned the rosary in his hand.
Uncle Clark next to him sighed, he seemed hesitant and didn't know what to say.
Mr. Tabitha asked Uncle Clark. 'What do you think about this?"
"I do not dare."
"It's okay, I'm here, you can rest assured."
Uncle Clark thought for a moment. 'Boss, I feel like we can't just listen to what Mr. Boniface said, besides, he accused Lady Bertha, he should have proof."
Mrs. Jennifer sat to the side, dissatisfied. 'Husband, you know Bertha's personality, normally she is arrogant, arrogant, and doesn't care about anyone. It's not surprising that she did it at all, men and women also need proof."
Mr. Tabitha didn't speak at all, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Boniface suddenly stood up from his chair, he walked to the cushion placed in front of the ancestral tablets and knelt, his tone resolute. 'I, Boniface, swear in the name of my ancestors that it is true that Bertha used sulfuric acid to hurt me. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was suddenly a loud explosion outside.
That scared him immediately, his legs trembled.
Both Meryl and Maximus were so scared that their faces turned pale.
The atmosphere in the room became unusually solemn because of the loud noises outside.
In this strange atmosphere, Bertha's clear and cheerful laughter rang out from outside the door, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Bertha pushed the door open, she was holding an orange-flavored lollipop in her mouth, she curled her lips slightly. 'It seems that your oath is not true, even God does not believe it."
Boniface was about to die. 'Bertha, the thunder just now was because you were playing a trick, right?"
Bertha smiled and shrugged.
She just told Donald to turn on the speakers to make a thunder sound. Who would have thought that Boniface's whole family would be so scared?
'You did something against your conscience, otherwise why are you afraid of being struck by lightning?
"You…"
Boniface glared at her.
Bertha pretended to be surprised "Oh my" and said. 'Why is your face injured like this? Looks like there's writing on it, right? You're a lazy person, well, these words suit your temperament."
Being humiliated like that, Boniface's family was angry.
Boniface stood up, he glared at her angrily.
'Bertha, at least I dare to swear in front of my ancestors, but do you dare? Do you dare to say that you did not use sulfuric acid to hurt my face?"
Bertha sneered. 'Why should I swear? That's what you want to do, so why are you making me do it?"
"You don't swear because you don't dare." Maximus next to him interjected aggressively.
'Are you provoking me? I wasn't fooled." Her pink lips pressed tightly against the lollipop, comfortably blooming.
Mr. Tabitha was the head of the family, he looked at Bertha gently, but from beginning to end, he still didn't say a word.
Everyone couldn't guess what he was thinking, so no one dared to speak up arbitrarily.
But Bertha dared. 'Uncle, you say I harmed you but you have no proof. You have to get the evidence out. I can't let your family cooperate with Jennifer to bully me."
Boniface said nothing, Mrs. Jennifer was upset and sobbed at Mr. Tabitha. 'Husband, you look at her. She called me names, she didn't respect me at all, and I didn't bully her."
Mr. Tabitha was so noisy that he got a headache. He gently reprimanded her. 'This has nothing to do with you, stop talking nonsense."
Mrs. Jennifer pursed her lips in extreme discomfort, standing behind him.
Then Mr. Tabitha looked towards Boniface. 'Bertha is right, you are just slandering her, you must have evidence."
Boniface said. 'Eldest brother, at that time she knocked me unconscious and kidnapped me, then she took me to a certain basement to commit brutal acts on me. Once done, she will clean it up. Where do I get evidence?"
He kept talking, tears streaming down his face. 'Eldest brother, you know me, from then until now, I have always loved my little niece very much. My personality is weak, I have never had ambition. If it wasn't her, why would I arbitrarily slander her?"
'Of course you will."
Mr. Tabitha did not answer, these words were Bertha's.
'Because you've wanted to kill me for a long time. When I was in City X, you told Maximus to threaten Bruno and be cruel to me. Surely you still remember this?"
Boniface snorted coldly. 'Without any evidence, I give you these words."
'Uncle, you forgot, of course, I have proof." She smiled, opened her bag, took out a prepared document, and walked over to give it to Mr. Tabitha.
Boniface's eyes trembled, but he said nothing.
