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
He is truly evil.Bertha was very angry, she started to want to hit him to vent her anger, so she continued reading."Bertha. By the time you read this letter, I may have left you forever. This is the last thing I voluntarily do for you. You don't need to feel guilty and don't blame yourself. Do you know if you cried when you heard the news of my death? I hope you will cry, I'm also afraid you will cry because I don't want to make you sad Griselda's house is cheerful and innocent."Just reading this, Bertha couldn't help but cry.She wiped the tears from her cheeks and calmly continued reading."The thing that makes me regret the most is that when you entered Tibble's family, I didn't appreciate you. Until I realized I loved you, you didn't love me anymore. It's okay, even if you only think of me as a toy or a maid, just seeing you at the villa every day makes me feel satisfied.After I discovered I loved you, I became an insecure, scared person. You just unintentionally smiled at me,
Now that she thought about it, she felt something was unusual.She called Tyrone into her room. "You call Liam, tell him I want to see him. Right now, tell him to come here immediately. Hurry."Tyrone quickly went to find Liam.Half an hour later, Liam hurriedly ran to the villa.When he entered the room, he saw Bertha sitting on Derek's bed, her eyes lifeless, her whole body dull.In her hand she was holding Derek's bloody shirt, her tears had been wiped away, only her eyes were red and swollen from crying so much that she couldn't hide it.Liam bowed his head, his mood dropping. "Miss. Bertha, why did you call me so urgently?"Bertha looked at the bloody shirt in her hand choked up and asked. "The day you and Derek went to that abandoned house, did you meet a member of the secret investigation department? Was he seriously injured?"Liam didn't reply."Please tell me the truth, even if you tell the truth, things cannot change anymore. I just want to know the story."Liam sighed and t
"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…
