“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
This was Calista's first meeting such a shameless man, and she momentarily didn't know what to say.When Bertha, standing next to her, heard that, she laughed.Previously, Calista had a habit of being arrogant, arrogant, and unafraid of anything, but she did not expect to be pranked by Derek one day."Bertha..." She pouted and looked at Bertha, her sparkling eyes looked like she was about to cry. She wanted to denounce Derek but was afraid of losing to this man.Bertha looked serious, she looked straight into Calista's eyes and spoke. "Calista, what he said is not wrong, he is only responsible for listening to what I tell him. You stay at my house, eat, and use my furniture, but you beat my maid, Is it too much to do that?"Calista was stunned.Bertha continued. "This isn't Felix's house. Even though I consider you my little sister, that doesn't mean I'm going to spoil you.""Bertha...""Tomorrow I will go to S city, I will buy you a plane ticket, and then we can go together.""Huh? I
Bertha sent someone to take Calista to Felix's house first, and then she returned to the villa in S city of Venn because this place was very close to Boniface's restaurant.She, Venn, and Tommy held a meeting to arrange plans for tomorrow. They talked for several hours.After settling things, she rubbed her temples.Now she just has to wait until tomorrow.After taking a shower, she returned to the bedroom. Perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep after just lying in bed for a few minutes.But her sleep was not peaceful.She dreamed and saw an extremely strange dream, around her was a sky-high sea of fire, and everything was burning fiercely, emitting terrifying explosions.A tall man was standing in the middle of a sea of fire, his whole body was covered in blood and covered in wounds, but his face and temperament were still handsome and extremely arrogant.Even though the man had his back turned to her, his back was very familiar.It wasn't until the person staggered b
Boniface seriously looked at Bruno's testimony. Immediately, his face changed clearly."Oh my god, niece, this has nothing to do with me, why would I want to harm you? When you were little, I loved you very much, I even carried you a few times, do you remember? Anyway, Bruno, I'm also a judge, and I'm just a normal person, how can I give him orders?""Hmm?"Bertha changed her tone. "I heard that your son, my beloved cousin Maximus, just took office. I wonder if this has anything to do with him. You say, should I ask my eldest brother to help me with this?" "No. It has nothing to do with him.”Bertha immediately slammed her hand on the table, her eyes turning fierce. "Why doesn't this have anything to do with him? Bruno admitted it, do you think you can deny it with just a few words from you? Do you think that without Maximus, you can rely on yourself to give Bruno orders? Let me guess, you're doing this for your inheritance, right?"Boniface stared at Bertha, but he did not answer."
She took a deep breath, her tone calm. "If you don't see him come back, he's not necessarily dead. Send someone to find him.""Mistress! Mistress!"Tyrone hurriedly ran into Bertha's room and said. "Liam called and said he expected you to arrange your return. Mr. Derek is waiting for you at the beach villa.""Mr. Derek isn't dead yet? Is he back? Was he not injured last night?" Tommy snorted, he was extremely happy.Bertha said nothing, she looked at Tyrone, waiting for him to answer.Tyrone shook his head. "I don't know, Liam just said that, but if Mr. Derek was at the beach villa waiting for you, he must have returned home safely."Hearing this, Bertha and Tommy breathed a sigh of relief."Pack your things, and book your plane tickets as soon as possible, we'll go back to city X immediately."She wants to know what Derek and Archie are doing."Yes, Mistress."They quickly got on the earliest flight the same day to return to City X.When they returned to the beach villa, it was alrea
She wiped her tears and looked at Liam, her voice hoarse. "Are you guys working together to deceive me? You randomly picked a bottle and brought it here to deceive me? Do you think I will believe it? Even if he dies, I have to see his body.""He thinks doing this will make me cry? Does he think I'll give him another chance? Dream on.""This is ashes, right? Then I'll break it, see if he's still pretending?"The corners of her eyes were red, her expression still cold, she held the bottle up high as if she was about to let go and let it fall to the ground."Do not."Liam, Aran, and Jason cried out in unison, they knelt at the same time."He's dead. Whether you believe it or not, he'll never come back again. He initially had injuries on his body. When he got there last night, he was already ready to leave. He died for you."Bertha looked down at them in horror.These people are all close friends with Derek, they are all honest, strong men.But they kneel at her feet just because of a jar
She wiped her tears, trying to adjust her voice as normally as possible. "What is up?"The person standing outside the door was Tyrone."Miss, Liam has already brought Mr. Derek's ashes back to his home. His burial date has also been chosen, which is November 4th."Bertha frowned slightly.November 4th?There are only three days left, why are they in such a hurry?Derek's funeral was helped by Venn and Liam. Organized by Victoria.After returning from S city, Venn heard about this.Even though Derek died because of Bertha, Venn wasn't moved in his heart. He knew Bertha wouldn't accept this result, so he held a funeral for her to help ease her guilt somewhat. With Venn's presence, no press or media agency dares to spread the news, even rich families do not dare to talk nonsense.Derek's funeral was truly humble.During these three days, the weather in City X was very bad.It's always raining, and every time I walk I feel cold.On the day of his funeral, the weather was even darker, th
In the cemetery, Mrs. Victoria cried so much that she almost fainted. Fortunately, Rose stood by her side to help her and advise her, and gradually she stabilized her emotions.Finally, the funeral ended, and each group of associates, friends, and relatives left one by one, everyone in an unhappy mood.Someone sighed in regret that a young talent in the business world like Derek died so early.Some people feel sorry for Tibble's family when there are only two women left, and one Mr. Devon is incompetent, afraid that they will face many difficulties in the days to come.Waiting for everyone to leave, Rose helped her mother walk out of the cemetery.As soon as Rose raised her head, she saw Bertha standing under the tree over there. She immediately became angry. "It's all your fault. If it wasn't for you, how could he die? Why are you here?"Bertha didn't object, she lowered her head and looked at the ground.Venn didn't want to see his sister criticized by others, he immediately turned
