Bertha's whole body was cold, she folded her belt in half, and her eyes were dangerous, raising her belt high, she pretended to hit Derek's injured back.But her eyes stopped on the hand-sized wound on his back.Bright red flesh and blood, ugly wounds, it's really easy to attract others' attention.Furthermore, this injury was caused by him shielding her, otherwise, the injured area could very well have been her face.Thinking of this, Bertha's heart was extremely complicated. Her wrist seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force. She couldn't bear to hit him.She silently sighed, her whole body suddenly seemed to lose all strength.Because she realized that she was starting to hurt him.This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.Being in Tibble's family for three years was like living in hell, she had never felt a ray of warmth. After the divorce, during this time, she felt Derek's changes and feelings. If she said she wasn't emotional, she'd be lying.But.That's the old pa
Liam replied respectfully. He came close to Derek's ear and whispered.“Boss, you guessed right, something happened to Archie, yesterday he drove to the suburbs, got out of the car for about ten minutes, and by the time Miss. When Bertha arrived, he calmly returned.”Derek frowned. “Do you know where he went?”Liam shook his head. “This kid is like a thief, our subordinates can't catch up with him.”Derek smirked, he fell into thought for a moment. “Okay, everything here, I leave it to you, I have to return to the beach villa.”Arriving at the mansion, Derek didn't go upstairs, he went to the backyard.Bertha didn't bring Archie to the company today, she let him stay at the villa. When Derek returned, Archie had just left the underground guard station to go to the bathroom. At this time, he was washing his hands in the bathroom.Seeing Derek, he smiled and said. "Mr. Derek, what a coincidence.”Derek's expression was cold. “No coincidence, I came to find you.”Archie faced Derek, his
At the same time, Derek led Liam into the ruined house. Three men were standing in the room waiting.The man who was the master of the other two was over forty years old. When he saw Derek enter, his face immediately filled with a smile. He bowed respectfully to him."Hello, young master."Derek said with a cold expression. "Uncle Harold, what's wrong?"The man Derek called Uncle Harold, his expression slowly became serious, and he presented honestly. "In the chaotic family, we need you to leave immediately and return with me to handle everything."Why such a rush?He spoke without thinking. "No, I still have a lot of things to do in City X. In a few days, I will return on my own."Uncle Harold's expression became more and more ugly. "Young master, this time we have an urgent matter. You must return with me. The boss said that this is the best opportunity for you to sit firmly in a position of power."Derek was silent.He also thought he could still stay with Bertha for the last seven
Liam's voice trembled. "Impossible."Derek ignored him. “Uncle Harold, continue.”Liam was so angry that his eyes turned red and his fists turned white, but he was an outsider standing here, he had no way to drag that stubborn idiot Derek away.Uncle Harold did not move, he felt that Derek was not lightly injured.His eyes looked at Derek's back.He can only hit Derek's back hip if he continues to land the last ten blows.Harold pondered for a moment, he looked at the two bodyguards in the room. “You guys go out and keep watch.”"Yes."Waiting for the two of them to go out, Uncle Harold took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on the wooden bar and waved it again.Ten consecutive hits rang out.They all hit the open ground.“Young master, I have finished beating thirty times, you can stand up.”Uncle Harold said as he wiped the wooden stick clean: "The deadline is three days, by then you must return, remember carefully."Liam helped Derek up. "Thank."Uncle Harold bowed slightly to h
He reluctantly smiled bitterly at Bertha. “Yes, I just slipped, but luckily I reacted quickly and caught the boss's arm so I didn't fall.”It was just a small matter, Bertha didn't care, and she quickly left the abandoned construction site.Derek let Liam drive his car and he sat in the car with Bertha and they returned to the villa.On the road, he sat upright, his suit straight, his back not touching the car seat.Bertha noticed that but she remembered the wound on his back so she didn't think too much and just asked. “How is Bruno's side today? Can you ask him anything?"Derek's throat moved, it took him two seconds to speak. “No, but don't worry, tomorrow I will make him tell the truth.”"Okay."During the journey, neither of them said anything else.Soon they arrived at the beach villa, and both of them went into the living room.Bertha was slowly changing her shoes.Derek changed his shoes, grabbed the railing, and went up the stairs.He had just gone two steps when he stopped,
Calista has been very close to Bertha since childhood. Felix's house and Griselda's house have always had a close relationship, so the bodyguards of Felix's house came to her door, Bruno has been locked up for investigation if Bertha doesn't take Calista to her home to take care of her for few days, that wouldn't make sense.But Derek…She looked down at someone in her arms, that person on the bed seemed to feel her gaze, he voluntarily loosened her waist, he lay back on the bed.“I'll sleep a little longer, wait until you come back, I'll make sure to finish cooking dinner.”Bertha didn't ask any more questions. “You rest, after I return, I will look at your injuries.”Bertha sat beside his bed for a while, she saw that his breathing had gradually calmed down, and his expression was also very calm, she led Archie, Donald, and Felix's house bodyguards to leave.When the sound of the car engine gradually disappeared, Derek called Tommy in."Mr. Derek, how are you?”Derek gritted his teet
It seems his face has improved a lot."Why don't you put on your coat? Have you taken your cold medicine yet?"Although her tone was as cold as ever, she had just returned and asked about his health, which made Derek feel warm."You said you'd look at my wound when you came back at night, so I didn't wear it."As he spoke, he pulled his shirt halfway up his arm and showed her the bandages on his back. "It's just, during the day I only had minor injuries, now you see, I've bandaged it up."Bertha remained silent and said nothing.On the contrary, Calista stared at Derek's face and then seriously asked Bertha. "Sister Bertha, who is he? He seems very handsome. Your eyesight is very good, the men around you are all very handsome."Because last time at the Color Bar, when Calista walked up to them, Derek was injured so she couldn't see his face.This time seeing Derek's face, Calista's eyes couldn't leave Derek.Bertha said expressionlessly. "My maid."“Just a maid?” Calista's eyes lit up
“That bastard Boniface, I won't forgive him. Tomorrow I will go to S city alone to collect the debt.”He wanted to use such sinister tricks to destroy her face. If she doesn't let him taste it, she won't be able to swallow this anger.She raised her head, remembering the wound on Derek's body. “You are injured, stay in the villa to recuperate, you are not allowed to follow me this time.”Derek was worried and didn't know what reason to find, so Bertha didn't let him go, so he had to wait for another chance.“Okay, I'll stay at the villa and wait for you to return.”The last few words he said, the sound became increasingly softer, but Bertha didn't pay attention, she was still seriously reading Bruno's statement.“Damn old man Boniface, you hid well.”“Listening to your voice, it seems like you also know Mr. Boniface. Have you been to Griselda's house before?”Derek raised his eyebrows. Even though he already knew that she was the lady of Griselda's house, Bertha had never proactively
