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
Aran asked. “Where do we take him now?”Liam thought for a moment. “You take the employee walkway, go to the docks of City X, you take him to a cargo ship, preferably an export ship. Boss said, just throw him as far away as possible."Aran is a bit worried. “He has no money. If you put him on a cargo ship, nothing will happen to him, right? After all, he is also a rich young master, served by many people."Liam raised his hand and hit Aran's forehead. “Are you worried about him? He is a man with full limbs, are you afraid he won't find a way to survive? Furthermore, how long do you think you can hide this from Vontroe's house? He also wants to marry Miss. Bertha? Throwing him on a cargo ship was lucky for him.”"So how should we deal with the two bodyguards of Vontroe's house downstairs?"Liam said. “Let me handle it.”“…”After the two divided the work, they immediately started taking action.—Bertha was driving to the Douglas Hotel when she suddenly received a text message from Noa
Arriving at the villa, Tyrone was preparing to use an umbrella to help her open the car door. He saw her get out of the car herself and go into the flower garden in the rain.Tyrone was scared and quickly chased after him. "Mistress. Take an umbrella. Don't catch a cold."In the villa, Derek was in the kitchen cooking when he suddenly heard Tyrone's words.Looking at the time, he discovered that Bertha came home twenty minutes earlier than usual today. He was very happy, washed his hands, and went out to pick her up.Derek had just gone out when he saw her open the door and go in. Her hair and body were all wet from the rain, her small shoulders were soaked by the rain.Derek quickly went to the bathroom and got a towel to help her wipe her face."Didn't you bring an umbrella? The weather has gotten cold lately, so don't catch a cold. I'll make you a cup of ginger tea in a bit.Bertha didn't say a word, she curled her lips and observed him.When he saw him say those words of concern f
