She had been planning tomorrow's press conference for a long time.
Even if Bertha dies, she will leave this bitch's reputation in the dust, she will make Bertha humiliated by everyone.
Mr. Danny thought for a moment then nodded in agreement with her suggestion.
'Then listen to what you say, you arrange this well."
Mr. Danny was sad, with pain still on his face. He sighed and led Mrs. Darla went upstairs.
On the internet, because there was only one last day to announce everything, all the media continued to follow this story.
Netizens are also waiting for the truth to come to light.
Tonight is probably a restless night, having difficulty sleeping for many people.
Bertha of course did not forget, waiting for tomorrow's big play on stage.
Late at night, it was quiet, she was still extremely alert, not sleepy at all.
After tossing and turning on the bed a few times, she got off the bed again, walked to the front of the cabinet on tiptoe, and took out a small wooden box from the top of the cabinet.
She gently opened the small wooden box and took out a photo from the bottom of the box.
It was her and Derek's wedding photo, and the only one.
She held the photo tightly, her eyes were deep, her knuckles were slightly white, her expression was still cold, and no emotions could be seen.
She looked at the photo so intently that Venn knocked on the door several times but she didn't hear it.
Venn stood silently next to the door looking at her, he silently sighed in his heart.
Derek was so cold and indifferent to her, could it be that she still couldn't forget?
He wanted to go in and advise and comfort his sister, but Bertha's next move stunned him on the spot.
She picked up the scissors and without hesitation cut the photo into pieces.
'Bertha, what are you doing?"
Venn entered the room and patted her shoulder to comfort her. 'I thought you couldn't let go, and still missed him…"
Bertha smiled coldly, the expression on her face suddenly became extremely fierce.
'This three-year marriage, the debt he owed me, it's time to pay it off."

The night was long. Laura couldn't sleep.
Derek didn't contact her all day today.
She's busy preparing for tomorrow's press conference, she can't call him.
Tomorrow is the day he promised to tell everyone.
Without saying a few words to him, she always felt uneasy.
She sat up, took the phone from the bedside table, opened her contacts, and called his number but couldn't reach him.
Every day, because of work, Derek will sometimes put his phone on silent mode but never lock it.
Laura was taken aback, she wanted to call back, but the phone rang.
After seeing the name displayed on the screen, she received the call and asked. 'Where is Derek? Where is he?"
'Laura, I'm at the back gate of the villa, can you meet me for a moment?"
The voice on the phone was extremely weak.
Laura was surprised, she quickly changed her clothes, then gently went out.
Cadell waited at the back gate, constantly looking around, until he finally saw her figure hurrying towards him.
'Why did you come here? Is Derek not with you? Why doesn't he pick up my calls?" Laura's face was filled with doubt and insecurity.
She glanced at Cadell who bowed his head and said nothing.
Based on the dim light, she now saw that his hair was messy, there were a few holes in his clothes, there were wounds on his face, and his whole body exuded the smell of fresh blood.
"What's wrong with you? Who injured you to this extent?" Her emotions changed from doubt to fear, and her heart became even more fearful and uneasy.
'After the boss heard that Bertha jumped from the plane, he drove there directly to look for her, and until now he still hasn't returned. Maybe there's no signal there so he can't receive your call. Furthermore… perhaps for a short time, he may not be able to return."
"What? Is he looking for Bertha?"
Laura asked impatiently and hurriedly asked. 'So has my plan been revealed?"
'No, don't worry, I have accepted all responsibility on myself. After my boss left, he locked me in the bedroom and sent someone to follow me. He hit me so I was seriously injured. When those people got drunk tonight, I ran out."
Laura was surprised.
'The boss will not continue to keep me by his side. He may even hold me responsible and severely handle me. Can you let me stay at your house for a while? I was injured and couldn't run far. But when I get better, I will leave immediately."
Seeing Laura's shock, she didn't say anything.
He hastily added in a way that was both humble and urgent. 'Don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble."
'Hey… please wait for me to think." Laura unconsciously took a step back. 'I will try to handle this smoothly."
To her, once Cadell lost Derek's trust, he no longer had any value.
But now that she betrayed him, if he left Greer's house and exposed her, it would be even more disadvantageous for her.
To ensure that there are no mistakes in the plan, she can only pretend to care about him and let him stay temporarily in the house for a few days.
'Of course, it's no problem. Now that you're injured, I can't help but help." Laura pulled his sleeve. 'For these two days, you will share a room with the maid, okay?"
'Ok, Thank you."
Cadell looked at her excitedly, his expression sincere and admiring.
Laura responded with a smile, but as she turned away, the smile disappeared. Instead, there was an annoyed face.
'It's obvious that he no longer has any value, why should I help him?' Laura thought to herself, angrily.
Cadell limped behind her, his eyes staring at her back, the admiration in his heart increased even more.
After Laura arranged a place for him to stay, she gave him a few simple instructions and then returned to her room.
She sat on the bed, calling again, and a cruel, sinister look appeared on her face again.
'Wait until tomorrow after everything is over, I want you to kill him, cutting off the future disaster."
Without waiting for the person on the other end to answer, Laura coldly hung up and threw the phone on the nightstand.
