"How? Have you finished thinking?"
'I've finished thinking."
She raised her eyes and looked at Bruno again, her eyes bright, full of determination. 'What I hate most is being hindered by others. Do you want me to cancel the engagement to marry you? Impossible."
Previously in City X, Shane had sacrificed too much for her. She didn't want to disappoint him, nor did she want to make him misunderstand her.
The smile on Bruno's face suddenly disappeared.
He was stunned for a moment, he seemed unable to expect Bertha to refuse so decisively.
'It seems you and I cannot reach a mutual agreement, goodbye."
Bertha put down the receiver, stood up, and left.
Bruno's eyes were filled with shock, his emotions gradually became crazy.
He suddenly stood up, his hand frantically hitting the soundproof glass, the metal cuffs clicking.
'Bertha! You're back. Don't you want to know his illness? He won't live much longer. He will die, you are for him but don't marry me, is it worth it? I am the most suitable man to marry you."
The dementors rushed over and they quickly overpowered Bruno who was going crazy.
Bruno's head was pressed against the ground, suddenly he laughed maniacally. 'Bertha. Sooner or later you will come back to find me. You can only be mine for the rest of your life."
In the prison visiting room, the man's strange crazy laughter echoed endlessly, until the prison guard's electric baton pierced his waist, the powerful electric current causing his whole body to convulse. Finally, he completely fainted.
The soundproofing effect of the glass layer was very good, so Bertha never heard Bruno's screams, from beginning to end, she did not look back.
Bertha sighed softly, she had just cut off a way to know Shane's health condition.
Perhaps, she could just try this last method.
Afternoon, at Miller Corporation.
Today was the monthly board meeting, and Shane was in the room for half an hour at the start of the meeting.
Liam received orders to retrieve an important document. He was about to return to the meeting room when a slender figure stopped him in the hallway.
Seeing that it was Bertha, Liam's heart jumped. 'Miss. Bertha, is something wrong? Well… if you're looking for the boss, you might have to wait a bit, he's still in a meeting, I'll go first."
He bowed his head and bowed slightly several times. He intended to go around Bertha from the right. Bertha was wearing high heels, and her long and beautiful legs decisively took a step to the right, blocking him again.
'Liam, this is the last time I come to you for this matter. If you still don't want to reveal the truth, I will never come to disturb your work again."
"I don't know anything, don't look for me anymore."
Liam bowed his head very low, he turned around, wanting to go another way back to the meeting room.
Bertha looked at his hurried back and suddenly spoke. 'Today I went to see Bruno, he said he knew everything, but he gave me a condition, he wanted me to marry him, so he agreed to tell me the truth."
Liam's footsteps suddenly stopped, but he didn't turn around.
Bertha saw his reaction and continued speaking. 'Liam, many of the misunderstandings between me and Shane were helped by you to resolve, you were the one who witnessed me and him go step by step until now. If you don't say it, I will agree to Bruno's conditions, is this the result you want to see?"
Liam's heart was torn, and his hands clutched the documents tightly. 'Boss has ordered it to be kept secret. I don't dare to deal with the discipline of this organization…"
'Don't worry, I will help you. I won't let him know it was you who said it."
Bertha walked forward, and she spoke softly. 'He is sick and suffering silently alone, so you told me to help him."
Liam wavered. "Follow me, please."
Bertha followed him, and they went into Liam's office.
Liam opened the door, he asked her in a low voice. 'Do you still remember the story about you being splashed with sulfuric acid at the Color Bar more than half a year ago?"
"I remember."
Not only did Bertha not forget, but she remembered it clearly. 'After that, I deliberately investigated this matter. Shane once said that it was not sulfuric acid, but the extremely corrosive substance S404."
Liam sighed. 'Boss… he… didn't want to make you worry and feel guilty, so he deceived you, it was the biochemical virus S404."
Biochemical viruses?
Bertha's beautiful eyebrows frowned tightly, and her heart suddenly trembled.
Even though she didn't understand anything about medical research, she did know a little about, how seriously it damaged the body, it was not a simple small problem.
Liam continued to sigh, he slowly began to explain to her. 'This virus is very terrible, it spreads extremely quickly, and the laboratory does not have an antidote…"
—
Ten minutes later.
Shane sat in the chair position in the meeting room, listening to the director's report while looking at the clock.
Liam went to get the documents and still hasn't returned.
Under the mask, his eyes gradually became deeper, his dissatisfied breath softly drifting in the meeting room.
The other directors held their breath, trying to downplay their existence.
Because they discovered, Shane seemed to be in a very bad mood today, as if his black face was about to spit fire.
Outside the door came noises.
'Miss. Bertha. Boss is in a meeting, you can't go in."
Then, the meeting room door was opened from the outside.
Bertha stood in front of the door, her eyes focused on Shane.
The entire Miller Corporation knew her identity, but the security team did not dare to take action against her, they seemed unjust. 'Boss, Miss. Bertha insisted on rushing in…"
Dozens of eyes in the meeting room all looked towards Bertha.
