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

    Bertha didn't think, thinking he was busy with work.There was still an hour until the appointment, relatively early, so Bertha drove back to the beach villa first.On the second floor, Tommy was bandaging Derek's waist. He used three layers of gauze on the inside and three layers on the outside, still showing a faint trace of blood.Bertha walked over, sat down on the chair next to her, and asked. "What's wrong? Haven't your wounds healed already? Why are you injured?"When Derek saw her return, he smiled happily. “Because today is a special day, I wanted to cook a few more dishes, but I wasn't careful and my back hit the edge of the kitchen table.”Special Day?Isn't today Noa's birthday?Could it be her special day?Derek saw her frowning in thought and said. “Have you forgotten? Today is the first day we met three years ago.”Bertha was surprised.She doesn't even remember this but Derek does.Derek seemed to see what she was thinking. “Since I realized that I like to care about y

    Five years later.Shane woke up when he felt someone snuggling into his chest, arms wrapped protectively around his neck. He opened one of his eyes and chuckled at seeing his five-year-old son practically hugging him. He looked at the clock and sighed slightly when he realized it was still seven o'clock in the morning. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and stewed chicken entered his nose when he heard loud voices outside the room. That immediately brought a bright smile to his face, looking at the sleeping boy as he stroked his dark hair and chuckled when he heard his son grumble at him.“Clement, wake up.” He whispered into his ear and the boy only responded with a growl.Shane removed his hand from his neck. “Your mother is home.”Hearing that, the boy immediately opened his eyes and looked at him with big eyes that were inherited from his father. Shane held back his laughter as he looked at his sleeping son and smiled proudly because he could see how great the resemblance was bet

    Bertha was stunned, she and Shane glanced at each other, and neither of them understood what Susanna meant."I've always been Shane's fiancee, I've never changed, what rumors have you heard?"Susanna's face was cold: "Not long ago at the royal banquet organized by the Princess of Country H, you were so dominant on stage that you certainly didn't pay attention to the audience below. At that time, I was also present at the party.”Bertha's expression stiffened.If Susanna was present at the party, she would surely have known about her wedding to Bruno, no wonder her attitude towards Bertha was not good."That happened for a reason..."She wanted to explain but Susanna looked at her coldly. She walked over and pulled Shane's arm: "Come alone with me, I have something to tell you." Shane was dragged away.Bertha looked at the backs of the two people chatting in the corner, her eyelashes drooped, a bit lonely.Liam noticed her feelings, and he immediately went to comfort her: "Miss Bertha

    "But do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment you walked into my cell, from the first moment I saw you, I was fascinated, I liked you. So I always pretended stupid, thinking that by doing so, I could stay by your side forever.""Raise a cute little girl to be your friend, raise her until she's white, then you'll 'eat' me, so I can completely become your girl. Isn't that good?"Liam: "..."This time, everything was roasted from Liam's neck to his cheeks, and his heart beat fast: "Do you know what you're talking about?""Of course, I know. I'm almost twenty years old, I'm not the naive type, I understand the trivial things between men and women."“…”Very good. It turns out he was a naive person before. The person who was deceived was also you?Is he a fool?Liam seemed crazy, his whole body wasn't feeling very well."Liam, what do you think?"Aimee's tone was weak, her watery eyes looked at him expectantly, as if she would be heartbroken if rejected.Liam raised his eyebr

    He sadly turned away, his handsome face contorted as if to say 'I feel sorry for me, please come comfort me'.Shane's serious and angry appearance is also very adorable. Bertha held back her laughter, she gently stood on tiptoe and kissed his thin lips, she used a gentle voice to comfort him."Be good, I remember your preferences very clearly. From now on, I only care about you, forget about everyone else, okay?" Shane's face turned hot: "It's what you said."Bertha quickly nodded, the two hugged each other tightly as they watched the plane carrying Bruno slowly take off into the sky.---Sitting in the car outside the airport, hearing the sound of the plane taking off, Liam pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a drag.Cigarette smoke rose, and Lealia quietly observed his expression, she noticed that he was not in a good mood.“Liam, don't you want him to go?”Liam took a drag of his cigarette and said: “When he was in the dungeon in country H, he beat me one hund

    Venn patted her shoulder: "Bertha, don't overthink. In short, this matter has been resolved well.""Yes." Bertha nodded.Leaving the court lobby, Bertha saw a man leaning against a luxury car. His familiar handsome figure made her anxious heart immediately look for a place to return.It's Shane.She immediately ran to him, her small hands slid into his open black jacket, and she felt his warm body around his waist.“When did you wake up? Is there discomfort elsewhere? Taking the opportunity that my second brother is still in S city, I will ask him to cure your illness."As soon as he met and heard her enthusiastic concern, Shane patted her head with satisfaction, he used his jacket to wrap around her fragile body and he hugged her tightly.“Maybe as soon as you arrived at the courthouse, I regained consciousness. Rest assured, your second brother's medical skills will not leave any disease on my body.”Bertha was a little less worried.Shane leaned close to her ear and said in a deep,

    Shane understood clearly what Bruno wanted to ask, and he smiled slightly: "In the past half a year, because of you, I got sick, and almost died many times, but I also caused you the same pain and severity, I punished you almost to death. But since you gave me the antiviral medicine, my body has completely recovered, and our previous resentment seems to have passed.”Bruno was a bit taken aback.However, Shane said the same thing Bertha said earlier. He said the same thing Bertha did at the time.They are both ruthless bloodthirsty men, incompatible opponents, and mortal enemies. How could Shane let Bruno go so easily?Bruno propped himself up, he leaned against the headboard: "You know, I gave you the antiviral medicine because of Bertha. I didn't want to save you, I wished you would die.""I know."Shane's eyes were calm, and his expression was also calm: "This matter, you wanted to satisfy her, but she opened fire and shot you. Besides satisfying your death wish, she also wants to

    Taking into account the eldest princess's stubborn personality for many years, when threatened by others, will she obediently compromise?But compared to this, she was even more worried about Mica.“Did Mica bring the photo here herself? Where is she?"Venn thought for a moment: "Just now she said she was going to the bathroom, she will return to the break room to join us in a moment."---On this side of the room, the eldest princess was angry, throwing things fiercely.Gaye Harold was afraid that she would damage his public property, so he quickly ordered someone to clean up the flower vases and teacups in the room and gave her soft pillows on the sofa.The princess took the pillow, struggled wildly, and tore the pillow into pieces, feathers flying all over the room.Gaye Harold helplessly supported his forehead.Okay, he had to pay for the pillow again, because he underestimated Lance Hilda's destructive power.Guy Haro stood to the side and cleared his throat.

    Attorney Terry raised his hand to speak, then he looked at Bertha: "Miss Bertha, don't be afraid, what happened on the wedding day at the cathedral?"The Griselda House Lawyers Association seems to have planned very well. Just wait for Bertha to read everything on the paper they gave her, and then they'll give the judge Liam's injury assessment along with a bunch of evidence.At this moment, all eyes were on Bertha. Bertha bowed her head as if thinking about something."Miss Bertha. You can talk now.”Lawyer Terry called her and quickly pulled back her thoughts. His eyes contained a reminder: "Don't be afraid, rest assured, the judge is always fair and just, he will be your boss."Bertha looked at him, of course, she understood the meaning in his eyes.He's saying, put all the responsibility on Bruno, let Bruno shoulder it all, let him be named...After all, Bruno is dead, this is only for the living to see, and waiting for this to end will not have any effect on people's lives.But…
