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
That night, he endured the intense pain, curled up in her arms, infatuated with the warmth of her body.But what did she do?Not only did she coldly chase him out, but she also said hurtful words to him.Liam was right, she treated him cruelly, but he had never complained before.He put aside all his arrogance and humbly begged her forgiveness.He says. “Don't… let me hug you for a moment, just this once…”Derek also said. “Don't, I beg you…”It was obvious that he was in so much pain that his breathing trembled, but he still greedily clung to her arms and refused to let go.It was obvious that Derek was so seriously injured, why didn't he tell her?Is it because you're afraid she'll feel guilty? Afraid she will terminate the labor contract because of this?He's such an idiot.Bertha curled up in the recliner, her emotions completely broken, her whole body in pain.'Derek…'Her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't make a clear sound, so she repeated silently.'Before, you used to be
Next was treatment. The whole group was busy for two days and two nights. The weak girl lying on the bed slowly woke up.Bertha's head hurt like a hammer. After waking up, the first thing she called was still that name.“Derek…”Even though her throat was hoarse, Venn sitting on the edge of the bed could still hear it.He sighed softly, in his hand cooling the chicken soup that Aunt Jinna had just stewed for Bertha. “Bertha, forget him, I believe that in the future you will meet a good man who will love you more.”Bertha glanced at Venn in surprise. She wanted to argue but her throat couldn't make a sound.In this society, people are very practical, how many people can exchange their lives for others?In her entire life, she will never meet another man who loves her like that again.Her heart ached once, Bertha clutched it tightly, the pain was so much that her eyebrows furrowed, and cold sweat flowed down.Venn knew she couldn't accept it, but he had no other choice, so he could only
In the office of the President of Tibble Corporation.Mr. Devon was still screaming. "What does it mean that she avoids meeting other people every day? My nephew is dead, is she still pretending to be sad? Does she think she can escape the problem of managing the Tibble Group?""You quickly call her here. I must have an explanation for this today."Allison wanted to slap this old fox.But she understands that, in front of others, she needs to be calm."Mr. Devon, Miss. Bertha has been sick recently, why are you threatening us like that..."Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the Chairman's office opened.Bertha wore a tight black dress and light makeup, her face was both delicate and seductive, but inside her eyes were still as cold and arrogant as before.She didn't even look at Mr. Devon, her face cold, walked to the Chairman's desk and sat down."Say."Her one word without any emotion made Mr. Devon change his attitude immediately.He smiled and walked to the chair op
After the Lawyer finished reading, Mrs. Victoria used a tissue to wipe her tears. After Bertha heard this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. All the assets were given to her. Did he have nothing left to remember except her? He doesn't even care about Mrs. Victoria and Rose's lives?Mr. Devon was angry on the spot."What? I don't agree."His face turned black and he protested in a low voice."He wants to hand over all real estate to his ex-wife, I have no objections, but how can you arbitrarily hand over 45% of Tibble Corporation's shares to outsiders? Tibble Corporation is my brother's lifelong passion, this is why he was disloyal. Where did he put his father?”If 45% of the shares were assigned to this woman, she would later hold 85% of the large shares, which would make it very difficult for him to get rid of her.Bertha bowed her head from beginning to end, she neither objected nor spoke.She was not knowledgeable about the real estate industry. A few days ago, she was still runn
In her heart, Rose whispered to herself and asked. "What do you want to say?"Bertha glanced at the pile of documents on the table and said. "I can return this house to you two. Furthermore, I can also transfer 40% of the shares of Tibble Corporation in my hands to you, and the remaining 45% shares, I will transfer to your future children."Rose was stunned. "Are you that kind?""But I have conditions, the shares will be transferred to you after you are capable of running Tibble Corporation, the house transfer agreement will be signed by Mrs. Victoria after you comply with all the conditions."“As expected, I said you wouldn't be so kind.”Rose glanced at Bertha. "But, what condition do you have?""First, your husband cannot be a rich guy, you have to find a normal, loyal, honest person. When you give birth, whether it's a boy or a girl, it will be recorded in the genealogy of Tibble's house.”"Second, your morals are too poor, but it's okay, I've invited a noble etiquette teacher for
"On what basis do you beat me? I was pampered growing up, even my father and mother never laid a finger on me. Who do you think you are?"She was terrified, she couldn't imagine how painful it would be when that ruler hit her palm. She struggled frantically and kept screaming."Mom, please save me. She wants to hit me. Mom."Mrs. Victoria was also very heartbroken, but for her daughter to truly get rid of her spoiled, stubborn personality, she had to be cruel, turn her face away, and ignore Rose's pleas for help.Rose saw that her wrist was held tightly by the bodyguard, her arm could not be pulled back, Bertha grabbed her fingertips, leaving her helpless palm in the air.She wanted to continue scolding, but Bertha looked at her seriously, and she stiffened slightly. "This time I will only hit you ten times. If you control your mouth from the beginning, if you dare to scold me again, then next time I will use a ruler to slap your mouth. If you don't believe me, just try it." If she a
December fourth.Bertha was wrapped in a white mink coat, and she wore a long, dark black lace-trimmed dress that was both delicate and sumptuous, yet equally formal.She deliberately cut some beautiful red plums, went to the public cemetery, and visited Derek.Derek's tombstone is covered in snow. Bertha patiently helped him clear the snow, her eyes gently speaking to him with sincere words."Derek, the first snow of the season has fallen. It's been really cold these past two days. I wonder if you're cold over there? I'll burn a few more coats for you, okay?"She sat down next to the headstone, her head gently resting on his grave like she was resting on his lap.“During this time, Rose has become much more obedient than before. I took her to Tibble Corporation to start an apprenticeship. You transferred to me all the shares of Tibble Corporation, but I no longer have the strength to manage them. Until she can handle the projects herself, I will leave Tibble Corporation.”“Derek, I'm
"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…
