Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce



Chapter 1126 Defeated by This Woman

Alivia didn't say anything with certainty but even asked with "interest," which made everyone feel depressed.

Because they knew that Bert had never cared about anyone, the only one he cared about was Miss Shelton from six years ago, but they did not dare to touch that woman. She was Huston's wife, and they did not want to provoke another rich and powerful person because of a personal grudge. Kidnapping Lucas was a desperate move. Capturing Alivia was unexpected for them. However, they also investigated this woman and found that she had been around Bert for a short period. They even had spies tracking her when she was in Quartz City and discovered that their relationship was indeed not ordinary.

However, what she said now made them feel uneasy.

The scarred man spat and got up to call the two men behind him. "You don't want to admit it? Beat her up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's fists and feet rained down on Alivia like a shower of blows. Her chest, back, shoulders, waist... every part of her body was subjected to this brutal assault.

Alivia had never known that being hit by a man with all his strength could be so incredibly painful. The raised and heavy fists almost turned into hammers, and the blows made her feel as if her facial features were displaced.

After all, she grew up healthily and safely. She couldn't stand such a beating at all. In less than ten minutes, Alivia was in so much pain that she was about to faint.

Only then did the scarred man ask the two of them to stop and look down at her. "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I have a lot of ways to prove that. It won't be long before Bert contacts us on his own. When that happens, even if you deny it, it won't be useful!"

With that, the scarred man turned around and left the small room.

The sound of footsteps rang in Alivia's ears, starting loud and gradually getting quieter until it disappeared completely. Then, the door to the room closed again, cutting off all light and sound.

Everything was dead silent again, but Alivia could not calm down.

When she was in danger, the first person she could think of was Bert.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Would he be anxious if he knew that she was missing? How should he deal with it? Is he looking for her? Or call the police?

Alivia thought of his decisive eyes in Quartz City. She had once been angry and resentful at his cold and heartless attitude, but at this moment, she hoped he would be even more cold-hearted so that these people wouldn't threaten and manipulate him.

...

The police had been trying their best to track Alivia's whereabouts, but the other party was obviously a veteran. During this period, many similar cars appeared in the blind spot of surveillance. They had to search every route.

It was just an ordinary meeting, and no one had expected such a thing to happen. Even Huston had been caught off guard.

Time passed by, and the waiting time was undoubtedly the longest. Bert locked himself in the reception room of the police station. By seven o'clock in the evening, there was still no news.

He stood up from the chair and stretched his almost numb body. As soon as he pushed the door open, he bumped into Evelyn, who was about to knock on the door.

The man stopped in his tracks, and thick smoke floated out from behind him. He was worried about the child, so he casually closed the door.

"I'll take Lucas back first, and Huston will help the police deal with it. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Evelyn's voice was low for fear of disturbing the man who was trying his best to suppress himself.

"Okay," Bert replied, but in his mind, this was the first time he was facing Evelyn while thinking about someone else entirely.

He walked around them and was about to leave when Lucas suddenly called out to him, "Uncle Harper! When Ms. Graves was taken away by bad guys, she asked me to tell you something."

Bert stood there, stunned. He turned to look at the young face in front of him as if realizing something. His throat felt a bit dry, and he asked, "What did she say?"

"She said that she really likes you, and it's worth doing all this for someone you care about."

There was a boom. It was not an explosion, nor was there any damage. It was the sound of a corner of Bert's heart collapsing.

His tall body swayed, and a beautiful little face flashed in front of his eyes. Then, he instantly fell into a short period of darkness.

He pursed his lips, but a line of blood appeared on them because of the dry cracks.

It was over, Bert.

You would lose to this woman.
