Chapter 1125 Bert's Love Interest
When Alivia woke up again, all she could see was darkness. Everything that had happened before flashed through her mind, and her body quickly tightened. She tried to move her legs and feet, but as expected, she was tied up by a rope.
Her eyes slowly adapted to the darkness, and she gradually saw that this was a small room without windows. The space of ten square meters was very narrow. Perhaps because there were no tables, chairs, or furniture, it appeared to have a slight breathing space for her.
Alivia's ears were quiet, and her mouth was sealed with tape. The scene that she had only seen in TV series really happened to her at this time.
In her lifetime, she had never thought that such a day would come.
Where's Lucas?
Was this child safe?
Almost simultaneously, as this thought flashed through her mind, the door in front of her was opened from the outside. The bright light in the corridor shone on her face, which made her want to cry.
She closed her eyes tightly and opened them again after getting used to it.
The one leading the way was a man of about 5 feet 8 inches tall. Because Alivia was lying on the ground, she had to make a great effort to raise her head to get a clear look at this person's face.
At first glance, he found the long scar across his forehead and left cheek. The wound didn't seem to have formed for a long time. It looked a little red and swollen, which made his already fierce face even more ferocious.
His skin was very bad. It was dark and bumpy. His face was very big, even bigger than a plate. He had a short, round head and shifty eyes. His whole body was filled with obscenity and hostility.
It reminded Alivia of the photos of the murderers she had seen on the Inte before. Each one had a sinister look, sending shivers down one's spine.
"You're awake?" The man crouched down, lifting his hand to pinch her chin with such force as if he wanted to crush her bones. "I remember you, the woman who took a bullet for Bert."
Alivia widened her eyes and finally connected the dots.
It turned out that this group of people was the one who wanted to assassinate Bert last time.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
At the thought of the bullet piercing through her flesh, her body couldn't help trembling slightly. After all, she was 22 years old. In front of such a group of vicious people, she was always afraid.
The man winked at a lackey behind him, and the latter immediately stepped forward to tear off the tape on her mouth.
With a "whoosh," Alivia's lips and the side of her face immediately burned with pain.
"Who are you?" Alivia looked at them warily. Her eyes were timid and alert.
"Impressive, the woman that Bert set his eyes on. You do have good mental resilience, hahaha!" The man's rough laughter echoed in the room as he looked at her with a hint of mockery. "Unfortunately, you've fallen into my hands..."
"Who said I'm his woman?" Alivia immediately explained, "I have nothing to do with him."
The sinister smile on the man's face froze for a moment because of her words, but he quickly shook his head. "You want to lie to me? When I caught you, you said that you were his woman..."
"You believe that?" Before he could finish, Alivia suppressed the panic in her heart and stared at the pair of narrow eyes. "I said that because I am the child's godmother, and I don't want you to take the child away. That's all."
Alivia saw that the smile on the scarred man's face was getting smaller and smaller, and in the end, it all disappeared on his fat face. He was still shaking his head but not as confident as before. "Do you think I will believe you?"
"You won't, but..." Speaking of this, she deliberately paused. Even she didn't expect that she would be good at acting. "Bert has never fallen in love with any woman, has he?"
