Derek felt very uncomfortable inside. “Why didn't you come home last night? Are you drunk? Where did you sleep? Were you with Noa all night? Did he do anything to you?”Bertha was silent.What does it have to do with Noa?Furthermore, why did he ask so many questions, which question did he want her to answer first?She said while wearing sandals. “Last night Mica got drunk, I took her back to her apartment. Then she got dizzy and nauseous, so I stayed to take care of her all night."Derek was stunned on the spot.Bertha massaged her stiff shoulders as she prepared to go upstairs.Derek pulled her hand back. “Bertha, it took me three hours yesterday to cook the dishes on the table, do you want to eat?”Bertha is cold. “I've already eaten. If you haven't had breakfast yet, you should eat it.”His heart suddenly ached. He was so pressed by her words that he couldn't breathe. He was stunned for a moment, still unable to speak.Bertha saw that he had nothing more to do, she took her hand f
As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed like he understood something. “Looking at this appearance, could it be that she did it?”“So, Bertha, nothing happened to you? I heard that medicine is powerful, it's all my fault. I should have told her to stop."He sighed, felt sad, and regretted.Bertha frowned slightly. “From now on, please call me Director Bertha, or Miss. Bertha. You calling my name like that makes me want to vomit."She looked at Derek standing next to her and said. “He said Mrs. Victoria proactively asked him for help, Mrs. Victoria said he was the mastermind, who do you think I should trust?”Derek looked at Mr. Devon with a serious expression, he smiled coldly. "Uncle, you got into trouble, you pushed it to women, and your way of doing things is despicable."Derek's words were a statement.Mr. Devon's expression heated up, he pointed at Derek and scolded. “Now you are just Miss. Bertha's maid, so why did you intervene when the landlord talked?"Bertha hates cunning
Impossible. He doesn't want to die alone.He gritted his teeth and looked at Derek angrily. "Why did you cooperate with others to harm me? Have you forgotten that this also involves your mother? If I am guilty, then your mother is also guilty. I was tortured by these drugs, Your mother will have to do the same.”Derek's cold expression remained unchanged. "If she does wrong then of course she will also be punished. I will not be biased. Furthermore, I also have to endure the punishment that Bertha gives her."That drug almost killed him.That painful feeling he probably won't forget for the rest of his life.Derek's words were an act of pleading guilty on behalf of his mother, Mr. Devon didn't know what to say.Mr. Devon was very dissatisfied, but looking at the four bodyguards that Bertha brought, all of them were cruel, and not friendly at all.Even if he ran away, he couldn't.There is no other way, Mr. Devon spoke softly. "Miss. Bertha, please forgive me. Please lighten the punish
As soon as the word left Derek's mouth, Bertha burst into laughter. "And yet you say that you have no other purpose. Derek, your acting is really good. With your acting ability, not going to Angel to register as an artist would be a waste of talent."She looked at him coldly, then opened the door and prepared to get out of the car.Derek quickly caught her wrist, his knees bent, explaining. "I want to authorize not because I want to take back the Tibble Group, but because I want to use it as an excuse so that my subordinates still trust and respect me. If you are worried, you can send Tyrone and Casey to follow me, I won't do any tricks."His dark eyes contained an unprecedented sincerity and even a hint of weakness that was hard to see.Bertha looked at her phone, Anne was still sending her text messages.She thought for a moment. "Okay, I believe you for once. The entire Sunrise project from reassuring the workers to completing basic construction, I give you one month. If you can't
Derek walked over, took slippers from the shoe cabinet, and then put them on her feet. "You worked hard today."Bertha heard his voice a little breathless, the collar of his white shirt was wet with sweat. An hour before she arrived home, he was very busy."Have you finished cooking dinner yet?""Not yet. Can you give me another twenty minutes?"Seeing that he was very busy today, Bertha didn't want to intentionally make things difficult for him. She gently said 'Uhm' and then went upstairs.—Dusk, at the men's prison in City X.After the prisoners finished eating, they were free for half an hour.The prison's most prestigious boss will visit tonight, and Cadell plans to quietly take a shower.There weren't many people bathing at this time. As soon as he took off his shirt, someone gagged him with a piece of white cloth from behind and pulled him to the corner of the wall.Even though his fighting ability wasn't bad, he still couldn't withstand the sneak attack from eight big men fro
Manager Kai saw that Derek had finally reacted, and he continued to speak further. "It seems like Miss. Bertha just took office and doesn't understand the real estate industry at all. Allison is a person without opinions. The company can't keep going down like this, right?"His hand was propped up on the desk, tapping lightly, a bit thoughtful in his black pupils."Whatever you want to do, say it directly.""If you have thoughts of taking over Tibble Corporation again, we will support you. Not only us, but many former employees also volunteer to follow your orders. Even Miss. Bertha has 5% more shares than you, but you have been running Tibble Corporation for a long time. If you directly oppose, your share will not be too low."Derek was silent for a moment before speaking. “Please make a list of those employees for me.”Kai and Peter were very happy. "So you agree?"He shrugged his shoulders, looked shy, and did not answer.The two of them knew his cold personality well, and only whe
Derek has been very principled lately."Wrong is wrong. I will not be biased. Taking this opportunity, I will cultivate their character."Although there was no problem with these words, after all, Bertha also felt that something was strange."Mrs. Victoria is your biological mother, aren't you afraid that she will scold you for being an unfilial child?"Derek's head dropped lower, Bertha couldn't see his expression.He was silent for a moment before speaking. "She can accept it, if she can't accept it, I will replace her."In this aspect of handling, Bertha somewhat praised his style."I'm going back to Angel's company, you keep working.""Okay."Bertha stood up and walked towards the door, her eyes detecting that he was still squatting. “I'm gone, why don't you stand up?”Derek's face was so white that it looked like there was no blood left. "My legs are numb."Bertha smiled, not paying attention to him anymore, she opened the door and went out.Before leaving, she told Allison about
As soon as the elevator arrived, the door opened and the two of them faced each other.Noa smiled and spoke first. "Hello, Mr. Derek. What a coincidence."Derek's face was cold, his tone indifferent. "It's not a coincidence, I intentionally found you."Finally, the two of them walked together to a safe and quiet passage in the building.Derek and Noa brought assistants to guard the different sides of the aisle.Noa leisurely leaned against the railing of the walkway. "What do you want to say?"Derek's dark eyes stared at him, Derek's expression cold."If your sister has a conflict with Bertha in the future, who will you choose?"Noa considered for a moment. “That won't happen, because Karlina already knows Bertha's identity. As long as Karlina still cares about Venn, she won't quarrel with Bertha.""Are you sure?"Derek smiled coldly. "As far as I know, the engagement between Venn and Karlina was arranged two years ago, but they have not yet confirmed it on paper, because Venn did not
