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
Bertha gritted her teeth, she pinched his cheek and said.“Last night you admitted with your mouth that you took Laura away, but now you deny it, don't you feel it's too late?”Laura?Derek's eyes were stunned, his expression determined. “Laura? Isn't she in prison?”Bertha pursed her lips and did not respond. Her eyes still looked at him coldly, as if she wanted to see how much longer he could act.Derek knew she didn't trust him at all. “Bertha, this wasn't my doing. Everything I did during this time was sincere.”He coughed twice then continued speaking. “I wasn't happy to see Noa propose to you last night, so I secretly took him away. As for Laura, I don't know anything."Bertha saw him speaking very urgently, and then she thought about Noa's incident last night, feeling a bit strange.Those two things happened at the same time, is it such a coincidence?If it's not him, then things aren't that simple.Bertha's cold eyes narrowed slightly, she looked towards Derek, but there was s
A lion, once filled with ferocity and arrogance, seemed to have truly been tamed by her.But why is she unhappy in her heart?After careful calculation, his debt up to this point seems to be almost enough.Bertha regained her thoughts, pushed the door open, and entered.When Derek saw her coming, he put down his pants, covered himself with the blanket, and leaned against the headboard to wait for her.She sat down on the chair next to his bed, she held the bowl of porridge, used a spoon to stir it, and gently blew on it to cool down the heat, her gestures were very graceful and gentle.Derek looked at her with bright eyes, his heart pounding.He licked his thin pale lips, his eyes were full of anticipation, and he obediently waited for her to feed him.Bertha noticed he was looking at her, she was still quietly blowing the porridge in the bowl, and there wasn't any wave in her eyes.Feeling that the temperature of the porridge in the bowl was not too hot, she gave him the bowl and spo
"You're still not sleeping?"Bertha saw her husband enter the room as she stepped out of the bathroom, he looked tired after so much fun they had had today. After having lunch with Venn and Mica, Shane took them to a nearby park and Clement enthusiastically agreed. They spent the rest of the afternoon there, both he and Bertha played hide and seek with her son and they had a small picnic there. Clement was so happy when his dad finally promised to give him a dog for his fifth birthday after Shane and Bertha saw how adorable their son was playing with the dog in the park. After having dinner at another restaurant where many women squealed over their adorable sons, they finally went home. Clement finally fell asleep five minutes before they got home, much to his parents' delight.Shane hummed, put the phone down on the bedside drawer, and hugged his wife, who was standing in front of her dressing table. She smelled like soap and vanilla as he buried his face in the crook of her neck,
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. His voice was low an
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…
