Chapter 226 Conscience Was Long Gone

After she finished speaking, Erica's heart trembled with fear.

She knew that Bernard suspected her.

He protected her because what she said was useful to him. Once he no longer trusted her, she would no longer be valuable.

She would never let herself lose that last bit of... value.

Bernard looked at how uneasy she was. He quickly put his hands around her neck. In an instant, his five fingers were clasped together, suffocating her.

Erica opened her mouth and stared at him in bewilderment.

His expression was icy, as if he was not strangling her.

As she was gasping for air, the fear of death began to surge in her heart.

"Please... Please..."

"Let... me go..."

"I don't want to... die..."

However, Bernard seemed to turn a blind eye to her.

Because Bernard had been in the army this whole time, his hands were so strong that no matter how much Erica struggled, she could only feel the grip on her neck getting tighter.

She couldn't breathe and she started feeling dizzy.
