Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

After a whole year, the two men once again saw the influence of the name Vera Senna on Madison Avenue.

Sharlto, who was lying on the hospital bed, was plausible and righteous when facing Superman and the big boss Bruce Wayne. When he saw Vera walking in, he immediately changed his face.

The indignant protest stopped abruptly, all the fat on his face twitched at the same time, trembling like a cloth bag full of flour, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, mixed with greasy grease and blood stains, it was very difficult to Turning his head, he tried his best to say hello to Vera:

"...Is, is it Ms. Senna? Oh, ok, long time no see, hehehehehehehe......"

Clark and Bruce saw that the man was trembling and his pupils constricted crazily. It was obvious that he was so frightened that he almost peed out.

Humble and pitiful, he was so frightened to death that he forced a smile on his face, like a mouse running out to steal something and turned around and saw the cat behind him, it made those who heard it cry and those who saw it were sad.

Two men: ...

I told you a long time ago to advise you to think twice and plead guilty earlier, okay now?

At any rate, Zhenglian is more scruples, and will go through legal procedures to accuse Sharlto. If Vera and the mutants who protect the shortcomings are really going to grow up... Sharlto will only die uglier.

How stupid do you have to be to think Zhenglian is easy to bully?

To put it bluntly, Sharlto was not afraid of Superman and Wayne before, because he knew that these two people were good people and reasonable people, but if it was the famous big devil Vera Senna in the workplace—— Nima, he is familiar with the "good things" this woman has done in the workplace!

Vera was able to climb to the position of creative director at a young age, the blood and tears of many losers behind it... The Campbell that Clark met before was nothing at all.

When she was still calling the shots on Madison Avenue, there were too many people who were so stupid that they were sent to the door, and she killed them with such tricks.

Really, don't provoke the Great Demon King!

Sharlto never dreamed that a few orphans with no background could provoke such a big killer. He scratched his heart and lungs with regret, almost crying.

Ma Dan!If he had known that Vera Senna would still pay attention to such trivial matters, he should have run far away and never touched this "talent training plan" in his life!

Batman & Superman: Our Zhenglian is generally very talkative, and we firmly promise not to release Vera Senna first, but if you insist on doing this, we will not stop it.

In Sharlto's cold sweat, Clark briefly explained the cause and effect to Vera. Out of the psychology of taking care of Leila, he did not make the whole process very clear.

This gave Sharlto himself a chance to defend himself. Relying on his previous caution and lack of physical evidence, he cunningly called out his grievances again and again, as if he had been wronged extremely.

"Ms. Senna, you should be most aware of the power of rumors and rumors—you can't just make me the second Lucas Mikkelsen!"

Lukas Mikkelsen is the protagonist of the film "The Hunt," which caused a sensation last year. It tells the story of an innocent male nursery teacher who is framed as a sexual assault by a girl herself.

Sharlto made up his mind to bite to death and refuse to admit it. This swearing and pitiful look is indeed quite sincere.

Vera quietly listened to the arguments of the two parties, with a very calm expression on her face. After Clark finished speaking, she opened her mouth and asked:

"So, where is Layla now?"

"...???"

Wait... There seems to be something wrong with Vera's reaction?

At this time, according to her temper, wouldn't it swell Sharlto's face on the spot?

It's impossible to really believe what Sharlto said, is it? ?

Seeing Vera's actions, Sharlto, who was still sobbing just now, was reassured. He covered his face and pretended to cry, but in fact he suppressed a smile and was triumphant.

Vera didn't even look at Sharlto, and ignored the doubts on Clark's face, she opened another door and left to find Layla.

Her footsteps were extremely fast, ignoring Bruce who was following behind her, and she came to the small classroom where several girls were located almost instantly.

Opening the door of the classroom, Vera saw Leila, pale and dazed, at a glance. She frowned and called out to the girl:

"Layla."

This soft call suddenly exploded in the blonde girl's ears, and Leila jumped up from her seat almost immediately, taking a step back in a daze:

"S, Ms. Senna!"

As the interviewer of these young people, the strict and serious Vera left everyone with the impression of being "serious and not to be messed with". The same is true for Leila who was asked sharp questions by Vera. She was actually a little afraid of Vera. of.

Not to mention that at this time, when Vera called her by her name, Leila's tears almost rolled out of her eyes. She pinched the corner of her clothes and apologized with tears:

"I'm sorry, that, Ms. Senna... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I caused you trouble, it's because I didn't do well."

Thinking of the conversation she overheard just outside the medical room, Leila's voice was trembling, her face flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito:

"But, I'm not lying, Mr. Sharlto just, just—" wanted to rape her.

The last half of the sentence was interrupted by a sudden hug.

All of Layla's explanations got stuck in her throat.

She opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at Vera walking all the way, took off her coat casually, wrapped her tightly in this warm suit coat, stretched out her hand, and wrapped her into a ball. She hugged her into her arms.

The refreshing and energetic scent of grapefruit surged up, and the blond girl's mind went blank, and she could only be passively held in Vera's arms. She raised her head in a daze, and looked at the "scary" Ms. Senna foolishly.

very warm.

The coat was thick and heavy, like a big blanket, covering her whole body, only showing half of her small face, as if... helping her escape from this world.

While in a trance, she heard Vera saying:

"Sorry, Layla, I have to apologize to you."

"?"

Leila was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head inexplicably, "You, you...why do you want to apologize?"

Vera raised her hand, brushed the messy hair around Leila's cheeks behind her ears, took out a vigorous handkerchief from her pocket, and gently wiped away the tears on the face of the girl in her arms, before explaining softly:

"Because I hugged you without your consent."

As soon as the words fell, the stupid girl in her arms was stunned, as if she had just realized it, she shook her head desperately:

"It's okay, I, I don't mind!"

She didn't hate being held by Vera like this.

"..."

Vera let out a long sigh.

After a moment of silence, after rearranging Leila's face, she quietly asked:

"Since you can understand the reason for my apology, why do you feel sorry for Sharlto insulting you without authorization?"

——Vera Senna hugged Leila without authorization, it was her fault that she initiated this action without Leila's consent.

Then, also without Leila's consent, after Sharlto attempted to rape Leila, why was Leila the one who cried and apologized?

Vera asked softly: "It's not you who did the wrong thing, why do you say sorry?"

Unspeakable grievances suddenly surged up.

Leila opened her mouth, and the tears she had been holding back flowed down all at once.

Before Vera, even though everyone cared for her intentionally or unintentionally, even though her friend Cynthia tried her best to comfort her, Leila was still shrouded in a huge sense of guilt and shame.

When Sharlto stared at her and was forcibly held down by this bastard, in panic and despair, Leila was thinking:

...Why me?

What am I doing wrong?

Is it that I shouldn't wear a skirt that is too short?Is it that I shouldn't wear makeup?Did my attitude towards Mr. Sharlto cause his misunderstanding?Am I supposed to laugh so much, like a 'slut'?

Did I do something wrong for him to treat me like this?

After being saved, what Leila received was not Sharlto's apology, but his threats.

He refused to admit it, he argued eloquently, and even threatened to send Joel and others who had stood in for her to prison, and called her a liar.

Leila thought tremblingly:

Did I kill Joel and the others?

Am I causing big trouble?Am I worrying about Superman and Mr. Wayne?

Such thoughts gnawed at Leila's soul like tarsal maggots, and she began to crazily doubt herself, she was ashamed, she was afraid, and she felt that she must have done something wrong.

However, Vera said: All this has nothing to do with you.

"……Um."

Leila bit her lip and refused to cry out, but she still unconsciously pressed her forehead to Vera's heart, like a kitten pressing against a female cat's belly, tearing up the handmade sweater all at once.

She is not wrong.

It was Sharlto who was wrong.

"Sharlto has long thought about you 'orphans'. It's not you, there will be others. He will attack Cynthia and other girls, not because of you."

Vera didn't care about the girl's behavior, and she hugged Leila even tighter with her backhand.

She never expected that after hearing such an explanation, Leila would feel less pain.

She suppressed her grievances, forced a smile, and tremblingly said in a grateful tone:

"...Fortunately, the first target he chose was me."

In case, he chooses Cynthia and the others, Cynthia and the others who are unable to ask for help in time, and who are unable to save themselves... what should we do?

Vera's fingers moved slightly.

She lowered her eyes slightly, looked deeply at the girl in her arms, closed her eyes suddenly, and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, you protected Cynthia, you are their hero."

……

Outside the door, Bruce and Clark, who were guarding the door, drove the children to the next door and listened quietly to the conversation in the room.

Hearing this, the two men raised their heads and looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the complicated look in each other's eyes.

...they were negligent.

All of them just confirmed that the child Leila was in good health and went to question Sharlto.

But no one thought about what kind of torment this child was enduring after experiencing such a foul-smelling violation.

Except Vera.

It can only be Vera.
