Chapter 429
Teresa freaked out, realizing she had said something she shouldn’t have, and quickly shook her head.
Bernard, snapped her wrist: “Spill it!”
Teresa, whose wrist had just been broken, screamed in pain, with tears streaming down her face.
She didn’t really know Bernard, but she thought he was out of her league.
Little did she know that he was ruthless enough to hurt a woman.
He was treating her like this without even knowing the truth. What would he do if he found out? Kill her?
Terrified, Teresa lied through the pain: “I saw it at the airport, you know. After you sent her off, you
puked blood. Didn’t you break up with her?”
The coldness in Bernard’s eyes intensified: “I sent her back because of her job, and (puked blood

Teresa went pale after hearing Bernard’s words, not sure if it was because of the pain in her wrist or
her guilt.
She thought they had broken up, but they hadn’t. Wasn’t she just asking for trouble by going to see
Bernard now?
Bernard glanced at her and saw right through her. He pushed her hand away and coldly shouted,
“Someone!”
Caleb, who had just arrived at the hospital, rushed in with a group of bodyguards.
“Mr. Laurence, what can I do for you?”
Bernard stared coldly at Teresa, who was holding her wrist in pain and trembling on the floor.
“Use whatever means necessary to make her tell the truth within ten minutes!”
Caleb took the order, waved his hand, and the other bodyguards immediately grabbed Teresa, heading
her to the bathroom.
Teresa looked back in disbelief at Bernard. He was even smarter than she had imagined.
She had only said one wrong thing, and he had sensed something was off. Instead of getting angry, he
tried to test her.
And because of her guilt, she panicked and was easily exposed.
Bernard wiped his right hand, which had touched Teresa, with a few wet wipes, but feeling more
disgusted with each wipe.
But for now, all he could do was suppress his nausea and wait for the truth.
In the bathroom, the bodyguards turned on the bathtub and ruthlessly dunked Teresa’s head in the
water.
Teresa, tormented by the pain in her wrist and now suffocating, clenched her teeth and refused to
confess. She only admitted to seeing the two of them at the airport and misunderstanding that they had

She knew that if she admitted to provoking Eleanor, Bernard would surely kill her.
But she didn’t think Bernard would go that far. Her family was a big deal in W City; he couldn’t just take
her out, could he?
Teresa didn’t think Bernard would actually kill her, but nine minutes later his bodyguards pinned her to
the ground, and four or five of them started tearing her clothes off. Teresa’s face went deathly pale.
“Stop it!”
The bodyguards exchanged glances and stopped, seemingly not wanting to touch her and just trying to
scare her.
Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could recover, one of the bodyguards pulled out a small
knife.
Without hesitation, he slashed her wrist: “Ms. Teresa, Mr. Laurence can find out anything. He’s just in a
hurry for results, that’s why he sent us. He doesn’t care if you’re dead or alive. So, if you confess now,
you might be spared. But if you keep quiet, we’ll just wait for you to bleed out. We’ve got time…”
