But compared to this, she was even more worried about Mica.
'Did Mica bring the photo here herself? Where is she?"
Venn thought for a moment: "Just now she said she was going to the bathroom, she will return to the break room to join us in a moment."

On this side of the room, the eldest princess was angry, throwing things fiercely. Gaye Harold was afraid that she would damage his public property, so he quickly ordered someone to clean up the flower vases and teacups in the room and gave her soft pillows on the sofa.
The princess took the pillow, struggled wildly, and tore the pillow into pieces, feathers flying all over the room.
Gaye Harold helplessly supported his forehead.
Okay, he had to pay for the pillow again, because he underestimated Lance Hilda's destructive power.
Guy Haro stood to the side and cleared his throat. His voice was low and thoughtful, explaining the reason to her.
'Hilda, while the trial is on hold, please withdraw the lawsuit. The Griselda family has solid evidence proving that Bruno is your illegitimate child. Once the incident is revealed to the outside world, it will be harmful to you and me, let alone the royal family. If the king knew, he would disagree with your assessment of Bertha."Hearing that, the princess became even angrier, her eyes widened fiercely.
"Why? This bitch Bertha killed my son, a life for a life. Do they think that if they use old stories to threaten me, I will listen? Dream on."
'I have to get justice for Bruno. What is the purpose of exposing the royal family's reputation? Either way, I lost all my money. I will sue until the end."
Guy Haro couldn't convince her, his face darkened and he said nothing more.

Mica had just come out of the bathroom and was walking down the hallway when Eugene's subordinate took her away.
She was taken to the hotel next door and pushed into Eugene's room. She staggered a few steps before she could stand.
In the room, Eugene was leisurely sitting by the window lighting a cigar. Under the hazy smoke, he still couldn't hide his anger under his amber eyes.
'So you agreed to go back to Felix's house so quickly to help Bertha find evidence?"
His voice was cold and dangerous, the smell of cigarettes in the room mixed with the menacing breath on his body almost made people suffocate.
Mica took a deep breath, she tried to resist the suffocating feeling he brought, and firmly nodded: "That's right."
A loud noise rang out.
As soon as Mica finished speaking, the cup of tea in Eugene's hand flew straight towards her, fell at her feet, and crushed into small pieces. Mica took two steps back to avoid being injured by falling pieces of the teacup.
Eugene glared at her: 'What did the Griselda family give you that you can risk your life for, and you don't even regret plotting to harm someone in our family? Truly a wolf-hearted girl, not raised well."
The last sentence deeply hurt Mica. She resolutely responded to Eugene's oppressive eyes.
'Yes. Because I wasn't raised well. I also know that everyone in Felix's house does not welcome me. You are my relatives, but you are colder than outsiders."
'Even though Bertha is not my biological sister, she always treats me with all her heart. If it weren't for her helping me, I don't know how many times I would have died. You and the eldest princess want to judge her, of course, I can't stand by and watch."Eugene smiled coldly: "No matter how well she treats you, it's only because she finds you still valuable. Is there anyone in this world who can be closer than family? She killed our fourth brother with her own hands."
'Even though Bruno is illegitimate, he is still considered half of us from the Felix family. We can't be bullied by the Griselda family. Furthermore, once the Griselda family reveals Bruno's identity to the outside world, the Felix family's business will suffer huge losses, do you understand?"
'I'm so sorry sir, I just wanted to help Bertha."
Mica's eyes were red, she bowed deeply to him: "I have no feelings for you, Bruno's family, or Felix's family. If you don't mind, please cancel my welcome home party, considering you can't find your sister who has been missing for many years."Eugene extinguished his cigarette butt, his phoenix eyes slightly closed, making it difficult to see his emotions.
Before leaving, Mica said one last sentence: 'Maybe you don't know Bertha's feelings for me. I would rather not be the daughter of the Felix family than do anything that would harm her."

Liam quickly drove a recovered Shane to the countryside.
Inside the brick house with a red tile roof, the man just woke up.
His chest was wrapped in thick bandages, with faint traces of blood seeping out, his lips were white, and there was not a trace of blood on his face.
His phoenix eyes were as deep as jade, difficult to lift, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
He tilted his head slightly, catching a glimpse of Shane sitting in the chair next to the bed.
"Is that you?"Shane played with the watch on his hand, his dark eyes did not look at Bruni, and his tone was indifferent: 'Even Bertha herself doesn't know about this. That day she was so nervous that her hands shook when she shot the gun. The bullet did not hit the heart but missed by 2cm, luckily it did not hit an artery."
"Why?"
Bruno asked weakly, feeling confused inside. Even if Bertha couldn't shoot him immediately, losing too much blood would kill him. If Shane sees Bruno die and doesn't save him, there's nothing he can do.
Or did Shane save his life and then secretly torture him?
"Why should I save you?"
