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
Derek knelt beside Bertha's feet, his tone a bit flattering and pitiful. “Bertha, I was wrong, I didn't mean to deceive you.”In the past, when he used this kind of tone, even though Bertha knew he was pretending, she still wouldn't expose him.Today, seeing him like this, she only felt disgusted, the anger in her heart almost burned all reason.She tried to control her emotions, her voice asked coldly. “You took advantage of being injured to deceive me, just because you wanted to take her away?”Derek was stunned.Sure enough, she knew that he had taken Noa away.“You already know?”Derek also has no intention of hiding it. “Sorry, I just feel he doesn't deserve you.”Derek generously admitted that easily.He admitted that during this time he was deceiving her.“What do you mean she doesn't deserve me?” Bertha clenched her fist, she controlled the anger in her heart and said with a cold smile. “Derek, you're so interesting, you mean she's not worthy of me teaching her? So you want to
If he has paid it off and there is no more debt between them, can everything go back to the starting point?Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, supported his consciousness, and maintained a correct kneeling position.Heavy rain late at night.Derek knelt in the garden for two hours, and Bertha stood by the window, watching him for two hours....The guards take turns on the night shift.Tonight it was Tommy's turn to keep watch, he was hiding in the shadows and was watching the man kneeling in the garden.Obviously, because of the injection of special medicine, Derek's constitution was very weak. At first, he was still steady, then his body gradually swayed, but his waist remained straight.Tommy admired him a bit.Even when he is kneeling, he is still a noble person, he does not let people think of him as contemptuous.For such a man, Tommy really couldn't bear to see his arrogance cut off.He thought, then quietly entered the villa and knocked on Bertha's door."Come in."Tommy
