He pulled Bertha's hand and left without turning back.
The other guests also did not dare to tease the unruly young master like him, they stayed out of the way of the couple.
Mrs. Darla's face stiffened. She didn't understand what was going on.
Mrs. Darla wants to question Laura, but Mr. Danny and Derek walk towards them together.
Seeing Derek, Laura immediately burst into tears and hugged him. 'Derek…"
Derek glanced at her, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Under the dim light, his expression looked a bit unclear.
Mr. Danny saw Laura's disheveled face and asked. "What happened?"
The guests standing around spoke up to explain to Laura.
Although they defended Laura, they considered not daring to anger Kirjani, and Bertha's wonderful dancing, so they did not dare to say anything too much.
Mr. Danny heard that, and he understood what happened.
He smiled and greeted the guests, continued to return to drink, comforted Laura with a few words, and then returned with the guests to the main banquet hall.
Laura sobbed and pulled Derek's hand, she weakly acted like a babe, she looked so miserable that it made people feel sorry for her. 'Derek, don't blame Bertha. Maybe because of our engagement, she's in a bad mood."
Derek still bowed his head and glanced at her, asking in a very cold voice. 'What did you say to her just now?"
She was stunned and looked up at Derek, she saw that his face didn't look good, and quickly explained. 'We're about to get engaged, I just hope she can give us her blessing. I didn't expect her to be angry, so she poured wine on me."
"Really?" Derek frowned, his expression growing colder.
Laura was still holding on to a ray of luck, nodding, she held his arm tightly.
Almost instantly, he withdrew his hand. 'Laura, I don't understand you more and more."
Laura's jaw dropped.
This was the first time since he met Laura again that he spoke to her in such a cold tone.
Had he seen it all?
She didn't dare continue pretending.
If Derek saw those things, her continuing to pretend would only make him feel more offended.
'Derek, because Bertha used the image of the incident during my performance to laugh at me. I was instantly angry, so I wanted to pour wine on her. I haven't changed, Derek, I'm still the same person I was before."
Derek said nothing.
Laura did not receive his answer, her heart became even more panicked, and she burst into tears.
'Derek, you're so quiet it's scaring me. Before, you agreed to marry me, right? Believe me, I didn't mean it. I still love you like before."
Derek unconsciously frowned.
A bit of resentment suddenly arose in his heart.
In the past, Laura broke up with him. After being dumped by her boyfriend, she wants to get back together with him. Because of this, Derek hurts Bertha, divorces her, and marries Laura, just because he still has feelings for Laura.
But now, he feels so tired when he is with Laura.
Mrs. Darla stood nearby, hearing those things. She understood very well and was very offended by Laura's behavior.
She quietly rolled her eyes and turned to leave. But she gets called back by Derek. 'Lady Darla, Laura is not feeling well tonight, please take her back to her room to rest early."
Mrs. Darla didn't dare to refuse. She smiled gently and pulled Laura's hand.
When Derek was completely gone, she retracted the smile on her face, pinched Laura's arm, and whispered. 'The third person's daughter is indeed equally despicable. He's gone, don't act anymore."
Laura glared at Mrs. Darla.
'Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Mrs. Darla let go of Laura's hand, she turned around and walked back to the main banquet hall.

After leaving Greer's house, Bertha and Kirjani separated and she returned to Venn's villa alone.
She showered, applied a beauty mask, ate some fresh fruit, and was in a very comfortable mood.
Suddenly the phone rang.
She looked at the name displayed on the screen, without hesitation, and accepted the call. 'Thank you so much tonight. If it weren't for you, the one who would be embarrassed in front of everyone would probably be me."
Windy on the other end of the line laughed loudly. 'Don't be polite. My design is just for you. That dress suits you very well. If it was tainted by Laura, I would be very sad and angry."
Bertha smiled.
Miss Z is the stage name of Windy - Bertha's best friend. She is a famous wedding dress designer.
Tonight, fortunately, before Bertha left, Kirjani's side discovered a problem. She called Miss Z to find out that the dress was fake.
Fortunately, Laura's body was a little fatter than Bertha's. Laura didn't fit that dress, so she had to ask the servant to take it to the store to have it repaired. So, Bertha had the opportunity to exchange the real dress.
'Anyway, this time I have to thank you. When I'm free, I'll invite you out to eat."
Windy is watching the video of Bertha dancing the Lover's dance recorded by Kirjani, smiling evilly. "No need. I need you to be my model. My salary is not low."
"Wait until you invite me before we continue talking."
Windy sighed. She was both upset and complimented how wonderful Bertha's dancing was tonight.
It's been months since Bertha ran the company and she hasn't had a chance to contact Windy, so the two girls chat late into the night.

The next day, Bertha went to work on time, she was in a very good mood.
But when she arrived at the company, the expressions on the faces of the employees passing by looked at her very strange and complicated.
Bertha didn't understand, but she didn't think too much, she went directly to her office.
The staff on the same floor saw that she had entered the room, and they gathered in a group, whispering.
The fat employee said. 'Hey, is what the internet says true? But I see that this new director's personality is very straightforward, not like that type of person."
