Chapter 265
1060words
After making arrangements, Derek strode out to the villa gate.
Just walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.
"That's not enough. Find a wooden stick, the type that leaves an extremely scary wound after being hit."
Liam rolled his eyes. "Boss! You treat yourself so cruelly."
If he is not cruel, how can he bring his wife back?
He missed the best opportunity to confess last night. If Bertha wants to beat him tomorrow night, then it means she is willing to forgive him. If she finishes beating him, her anger will also disappear.
But if she doesn't take action against him, this matter won't be easy to resolve.
Shane sighed softly. He thought about Tyrone's words just now and felt extremely guilty in his heart.
'Hurry up, I've made her suffer so much for the past half a year, I have to pay her something, so I can feel in my heart that I don't owe her anything."
Liam wanted to speak but didn't.
Derek no longer owes Bertha a long time ago.
But Liam knows that he loves Bertha so much, he wants to do everything to win her trust.
He loves to the point of being too mean.
Liam felt sorry for him, but he had no way to help him.
—
Bertha has woken up.
The first thing she did was check her body for hickeys.
On the small sofa, the cotton blanket is neatly folded.
Looks like Shane didn't take the opportunity to touch her last night.
He accepted sleeping on the sofa, but he was a clean man, different from what she had heard in previous rumors.
She still remembered what happened before she got so drunk that she passed out last night.
But last night, because she drank a little alcohol, her mind was not clear
Shane's story was so strange, that she had to investigate again.
Knowing Mr. Miller invited her to have breakfast together. She originally refused, but thinking about Shane's situation, she agreed.
At the dining table, take advantage of your free time while chatting with Mr. Miller about life, she asked.
"Mr. Miller, I heard Mr. Shane just returned half a year ago, right? When I saw him last night, he looked very handsome, but why are there rumors saying that he looks very ugly?"
Mr. Miller's expression did not change at all. 'After this kid got a position in S city, many beautiful women wanted to stalk him, but he didn't like it, so he deliberately let others guess like that."
"It turned out that way." Bertha smiled lightly and continued asking. 'So he always looks like that?"
'Uhn. Why do you ask like that?" Mr. Miller looked at her with suspicion, his face full of wrinkles, his expression extremely natural.
Bertha smiled brighter. 'I see Mr. Shane is so handsome, I want to see if there are any pictures of him before."
'No photos, this kid hates taking photos."
Does Shane hate taking photos?
This is quite similar to Derek.
She remained silent and continued to eat breakfast.
On the car back.
She remembered the words Norabel had said to her earlier at the bar.
Norabel said. "My eldest brother is quite cold. Half a year ago, he completed his duty in the army and came back. His whole body was covered in blood. His injuries were very serious. I heard that he vomits blood every day, making Grandpa extremely scared..."
Half a year ago, Derek passed away, and half a year ago Shane returned to Miller's house covered in wounds.
Is there any connection between these two things?
To answer her doubts, she called Norabel.
"Sister Bertha, you took the initiative to find me, I feel both happy and worried."
Bertha asked with a calm expression. 'Norabel, I called you today, mainly I wanted to ask about Shane."
"Rub!"
Her voice was full of meaning. 'Sister Bertha, I see, what do you want to ask about the eldest brother? I will tell you everything!"
'Half a year ago, when did Shane return to Miller's house?"
Norabel on the other end of the phone seriously thought for a moment. 'It's been so long, I don't remember clearly."
'So now Shane, do you feel like he's a little different?"
'No, he was drafted when he was a child. In recent years, he rarely returned, especially after the age of fifteen. He never came back until half a year ago."
After the age of fifteen, Shane didn't return to Miller's house anymore.
Strange.
Bertha continued. 'Last time I heard you say half a year ago when he returned, his body was injured, so where was the wound? On his face or his back, was he seriously injured?"
'I don't know about this. I haven't seen his injuries yet. I've only heard what the maid at my grandfather's villa said, but his injuries are very serious. During the power struggle with the second uncle, when the eldest brother went to meetings, he was in a wheelchair and wearing a mask."
Bertha felt there wasn't much information that was particularly useful when talking to Shane's sister.
Bertha asked her a few questions, then hung up.
Tyrone drove in the front row and asked curiously. 'Mistress, why are you suddenly interested in Mr. Shane? Last night, did you two develop feelings for each other?"
Bertha was busy thinking, she didn't have time to pay attention to his question, she just talked. 'Tyrone, I always feel like there's something strange, it feels like Derek isn't dead yet."
Tyrone doesn't believe it. 'Miss, how could this happen? Not to mention that before the accident, Derek's body was seriously injured. He was surrounded by a group of assassins, and his survival rate was low. Moreover, at that time, his body was cremated by Liam."
'So is it possible that the body is fake? They found someone with a similar physique to replace them?"
Tyrone thought seriously. 'It's possible, but if Derek is alive, why doesn't he come back to find you? Before, he just wished he could be by your side every day."
This is also what Bertha wondered.
