His voice suddenly stopped.
He put that cigarette in the trash. He told Liam to throw it away in the trash, now he knows where to find it.
Bertha's hand squeezed his face a little harder. 'In the office?"
'I threw it in the trash, then told Liam to throw away the trash bag."
Bertha raised her eyebrows. 'Is it such a coincidence?"
What a coincidence.
Even if he jumped into the river now, it wouldn't wash away his injustice.
Shane internally screamed frantically, his black eyes continuously staring at Bertha. 'I don't have evidence, but I still have witnesses, I will ask Liam to personally come and prove my innocence."
Bertha glanced at him haughtily, then she let go of his chin as if she had tacitly agreed.
A minute later, Liam's phone was connected.
Before waiting for Liam to speak on the other end of the line, Shane became aggressive and gritted his teeth. 'I give you fifteen minutes, come to my house immediately."
After all, Liam was about to arrive. Bertha didn't want to lower his honor in front of others. Her eyes gestured to the small sofa next to her.
"Sit down."
Shane didn't move, he lowered his head angrily, his black eyes were so cold that he wanted to kill someone.
Bertha remembered his heartache, and she quickly patted his cheek to comfort his feelings.
"You listen to me, sit down on the chair, maybe in a moment you will be vindicated."
Only then did Shane control his aggression and sit down on the sofa next to him.
Fifteen minutes later.
Liam rushed over.
As soon as he entered the room, he was scared by the cold air in the living room to the point of shivering.
Seeing the cigarette boxes on the coffee table, he understood what had happened.
He had meticulously planned it, so quickly, that the boss was captured.
Complete the task excellently.
He stood seriously facing the coffee table, a little happy in his heart.
When Shane saw him, he even smiled.
In front of Bertha, Shane suppressed the anger in his heart, his voice gloomy.
'Bertha saw the medicine box you put in the drawer, you honestly help me explain to Bertha, that if you dare to lie, tomorrow I will take you to the interrogation room to use the lie detector and electric shock machine."
Damned. Is Shane that cruel?
Why was it different from the scenario he had planned?
Wasn't the boss expecting to be beaten by Bertha? Shouldn't he be very happy?
Liam was so scared that he was stunned, he didn't dare say a word.
Bertha frowned, she glared at someone. 'What are you threatening him for?"
"I do not have..."
Shane's tone immediately weakened.
Bertha had no intention of reprimanding him, she just looked at Liam, asking in a cold tone. 'Liam, please answer me honestly, did Shane smoke today?"
Liam was stunned for a moment, he unconsciously glanced at Shane next to him.
Shane gently reminded. "Shockwave."
Liam's whole body trembled. 'No smoking. He came to me asking for a cigarette, he just sniffed it and threw it away."
Bertha elegantly clasped her hands, her expression calm, glancing back and forth between the two men, as if she didn't trust them.
'Liam, don't be afraid, I'm here, as long as you tell the truth, I guarantee that Shane won't dare to lay a finger on you."
With these words from Bertha, Liam breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his right hand and swore.
'Miss. Bertha, I guarantee that everything I say is true."
"Okay."
Bertha nodded as if she trusted Liam.
Shane breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could even take a breath, he heard Bertha continue to ask. 'And what about those cigarette cases in the drawer?"
'In the afternoon, he told me to go buy cigarettes. He told me to find a drawer and hide all the cigarettes in there."
Bertha noticed the keywords and narrowed her eyes. "Hiding?"
Liam nodded. 'The boss said you are busy with a lot of work during the day, you won't often search the drawers. Shane told me to find a drawer in the corner and put them there, so they wouldn't be discovered."
Bertha sneered, her eyes looking meaningfully at Shane next to her.
"Oh, so that's it. That won't be discovered by me."
Shane was crazy inside, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
The more Liam talks the worse it gets, Shane is about to be completely exonerated.
He was aggressive, rolling his eyes at Liam, his expression fierce as he clenched his teeth. 'I asked you to explain, but I did not ask you to report my words without missing a word. You came here to vindicate me."
Liam understood completely.
It turned out that during the day, he had misunderstood Shane's meaning, he thought that the boss was deliberately wanting to be beaten by Bertha. It seemed he wanted to hide his cigarettes from Bertha.
Compared to Shane's hot temper, Bertha smiled very gently. 'Don't be afraid, you've explained very well, with me here, you can rest assured and speak boldly."
However, after learning that he had done something wrong, that he had harmed his boss, Liam was no longer as confident as before.
He must seriously think and find a way to make up for his mistakes.
Otherwise, his life will end.
If the boss is angry, even Bertha cannot save him.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke seriously. 'Bertha, it's true that he hid it from you, indeed, he didn't do it right, but he always remembered the schedule you arranged, he never really wanted to smoke."
'Recently he takes medicine three times a day. Those medicines are very bitter. Drinking too much will lead to loss of appetite, reflux, and nausea. The boss wanted to find a way to ease the discomfort after taking the medicine. He just used it the wrong way." These somewhat ridiculous accounts from Liam and Bertha sounded extremely touching.
Shane's gloomy face gradually improved, and he finally heard some beautiful words from the mouth of a certain assistant.
There was no expression on Bertha's face, making it impossible to guess whether she believed it or not.
Liam asked hesitantly. 'Bertha, you stop being angry with him."
