Perhaps God had taken pity on her and restored her hearing.
Simon was still pretending to be a loving husband, but he did not know that Bertha had already learned about everything.
She knew what he had been doing at night over the past few days. She also knew that his love could not win against the temptation of lust.
Simon probably noticed that something was off about Bertha, so he left earlier with her.
When they got into the car, his phone began ringing. He took one look at the screen and signed to her that it was a call from his company. Then, he answered the phone right in front of her face.
Luna called Simon’s name sweetly. After he listened to her for about three minutes, he hung up and gave Bertha an apologetic look. “Sorry, Bertha. There’s a really urgent meeting in the company, and I need to go back to chair it.”
Bertha did not expose him. She just smiled and nodded. “Your company’s important. Go ahead and do your thing.”
Simon reached out to pat Bertha’s head, but she avoided him. He thought that she was still mad at him, just like how she had been when he left her to return to the “company.” But when he remembered what Luna just told him, he still chose to leave after a moment of hesitation. Before he did, he signed to Bertha that he was going to bring her a gift when he came back. “I’ll get the driver to send you back, and I’ll bring you a surprise at night.”
As she watched Simon leave into the distance, Bertha’s sadness turned into tears. She had heard the entire conversation.
Luna said that her family had arranged a blind date for her. Hence, Simon had left her behind so that he could go over to keep Luna by his side.
As for what he would do to achieve it? Bertha could already guess it.
Even so, she did not expect Simon to lie to her so blatantly. Just how many times had he delivered such blatant lies to her face?
She did not ask the driver to send her back home. Instead, she went to the shopping mall alone and bought a pen drive.
While she was on her way back, it started pouring. She stood at the entrance while she waited for a car, but suddenly, she received a video call from a stranger.
She knew who it was and chose to answer it.
The video was taken from a secluded angle, but Bertha could still immediately recognize the two people in the footage.
“Master, it hurts… Please stop hitting me…”
The red marks left on her skin by a leather whip were revealed before Bertha’s eyes. Then, she heard a familiar voice. “Shut up and swallow.”
She then heard the sound of clothes being torn apart, along with moans. Those sounds blended together with the pouring rain.
Bertha trembled nonstop. Then, as if her soul had left her body, she ran into the rain and let it soak her body through.
She felt like it was the only way she could get rid of those disgusting voices that were echoing in her ears.
When Bertha got home, she was drenched, and the maids were terrified. They quickly pushed her into the bathroom so that she could take a warm bath.
Simon received a message from them and came back. By then, Bertha was sitting in the living room while wrapped up in a blanket. The sight of her dejected expression made him kneel in front of her while he slapped himself twice.
