Cadell saw her passing by and then ran into the villa to see how Derek was doing.
Bertha ignored him and took the phone to call Anne.
'Please help me find some people to take care of the beach villa. The furniture in the house must be thrown away, all tools must be bought new, and new flowers in the garden will also be planted."
'Yes, director."
Anne replied and asked again. 'Director, how long do you plan to move there? I will arrange my body as quickly as possible."
Bertha smiled. 'Who said I wanted to be in there?"
'Huh? You're not in that villa? So…"
Before Anne could finish speaking, Bertha hung up the phone.
She walked to the car parked at the gate. As soon as she opened the door, she heard the sound of a car engine slowly approaching behind her.
The car stopped not far from her.
Laura got out from the back seat, there was another person in the car, at a glance, it was probably a woman, but her face was hidden, so Bertha didn't know who it was.
Bertha only glanced once, then she withdrew her gaze and prepared to get in the car and leave.
Laura ran to block her car door, her tone extremely surprised.
'Why did you appear here? Do you still want to cling to Derek? Now Derek no longer has any relationship with you."
After hearing this, Bertha burst out laughing, she said. 'You should ask him, he called me."
Laura's eyelashes trembled slightly.
'Why did Derek call you over? If it weren't for you seducing him, do you think he would want to meet you?"
Bertha took the transfer paper out of her bag and held it up to Laura's eye level. 'Look, Derek transferred this house to my name."
After speaking, she pushed Laura.
Laura's whole body staggered before she stood up. She was so surprised that her eyes turned red.
Derek gave Bertha this house?
He didn't even allow Laura to come close to it, but he was generous to this woman.
Based on what?
She was so angry that her heart hurt. After thinking about it, she thought clearly.
Staring at Bertha, she spoke viciously. 'This is Derek's compensation for the divorce, right? He did this to set a clear boundary with you, hoping you would no longer have any thoughts towards him."
Bertha smiled coldly, not angry, looking at Laura with cold eyes. 'This villa is my personal property from now on, people like you, it's best to stay away for a while, otherwise I will tell my people to throw you out."
"You..."
Laura was angry, seeing Bertha sitting in the driver's seat, her eyes flashed with victory again.
'Before, you still had Venn as support, I couldn't win against you, but starting tomorrow, you will forever be trampled under my feet."
Bertha glanced at her, completely ignoring Laura's cruel words, Bertha started the engine, and drove away, even letting the car smoke blow into Laura's face.
Laura coughed loudly, staring at the blue Santara car, she stomped her foot, her eyes flashing fiercely.
She also wanted to see how arrogant this bitch would be.
---
Bertha drove back to Venn's villa. While passing by the mall's big screen, she read the news. Greer's house's favorite daughter - Olwen Greer drove drunk and caused an accident. When cured, Olwen is temporarily not life-threatening but can become a permanent vegetable.
The couple at Greer's house cried and were heartbroken.
Bertha just glanced, unconcerned.
It wasn't until three days later that Bertha went to the cafeteria for lunch.
The staff now seems to like to gossip, their faces all showing excitement.
Bertha is a bit curious, but she is a 2G type of person who doesn't like surfing the internet so she doesn't like to gossip.
'Director, have you heard the big news this morning?"
Anne brought the food and two other close assistants and went to sit next to Bertha.
"What's news?"
Anne said. 'Did you know, the first lady of Greer's house had a traffic accident? In recent days, Greer's house announced that they will divide their assets to their youngest daughter."
Bertha did not raise her head, concentrating on eating. 'What's strange about this?"
'Do you know who the second lady of Greer's house is? It was Laura, a while ago, the president of Tibble Group announced that he would get engaged to her a month later."
Bertha's hand stopped briefly.
Seeing that she had finally reacted, Anne continued to speak excitedly. 'Everyone felt funny about the actions of Greer's house. The eldest daughter became a vegetable, and after less than two days of heartbreak, they planned to divide their assets."
Two other female employees sitting at the same table also quickly joined the chat. It was no wonder that they were dissatisfied with Greer's house's actions. They even guessed that Laura's status was not simple.
Bertha listened quietly, not participating.
She suddenly remembered that a few days before leaving the beach villa, Laura had said some very fierce words to her.
Now it seems, the story of Olwen having an accident is not so simple.
Now that Laura has gone from being an illegitimate child to a genuine child, what will be her next move?
After eating, Bertha returned to her office, turning on her work mode.
The story about Greer's house is just her guess, there is no real evidence, and she doesn't care.
But if Laura took the initiative to anger her, she would not hesitate to fight back.
At noon, Kirjani called Bertha.
'Sister Bertha, are you free tonight?"
Bertha typed on the keyboard, her tone calm. "Wazzup?"
Kirjani smacked her lips, stating the purpose of his calling her. "There's a party at Greer's house in the evening. I have to go there. I've also worked for seven or eight days straight. I want to take a leave of absence."
"Approved."
Unexpectedly, she agreed so freely. Kirjani hesitantly asked further. 'So may I have the honor of asking you to play the role of my girlfriend and come with me tonight?"
Bertha pursed her lips, her eyes sparkled, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she replied. "Okay."
Having finished speaking, Bertha hung up the phone.
Kirjani on the other end of the line whispered to herself. 'She's so cold.'
