Zillah hugged her arm, cooing, her expression unable to hide her pleasure.
The two of them laughed got in the car and left.
But as soon as they left, Bertha, sitting in Angle's office, received a text message.
In the message, there were only two words: mission completed.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
After three days, Tibble Corporation will go bankrupt.
She was looking forward to this.
She was thinking, suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the door. Noa spoke and walked into the room.
Unlike his previous elegant and calm appearance, he frowned, looking very uncomfortable.
Without waiting for Bertha to ask him, he went straight to the chair and sat down across from Bertha, one desk away from her.
"What's wrong with you?" Bertha asked puzzledly.
"I didn't expect you to learn about real estate because of him." His expression was heavy, his eyes seemed sad.
How did he know so quickly?
It's true, although Noa's house is not as good as Griselda's house, but their family is also famous, so it's easy for him to investigate.
But Bertha didn't want to hide from him either.
"That's right."
Seeing her admit it, her expression was very calm, Noa was very upset.
"Why? If you look back, you will see that there is someone better waiting for you."
"You mean yourself?"
Bertha interrupted him, her eyes calmly looking straight at him.
Noa blushed slightly.
He mustered up the courage to confess his love to her, but Bertha interrupted him. "But you also know, you and I are not capable."
Noa seemed to fall into the abyss, his eyes showed hurt.
"I don't know, why?" He thought for a moment. "Is it because of Karlina? Indeed, she did wrong before, but lately, she's been obediently staying at home. She's realized her mistake. She won't target you again in the future."
Bertha shook her head and smiled in response. "I know you like me, I knew it many years ago, but your liking is just because you can't have me, so you're not satisfied."
Noa didn't say a word, his eyes were slightly red as he looked at her.
Bertha continued. "You are warm, humble, and you treat people very well, but you also have a flaw, and you cover up that flaw. How Karlina harmed me at that time, you also know well, but those days in that month, you never mentioned it."
"I…"
Noa choked on his words. He was still dissatisfied and said. "So what about Derek? The cruel things his mother and sister used to do to you, shouldn't he protect them?"
Bertha was silent for a moment then laughed. 'You two are the same, sooner or later you have to pay, Derek is no exception."
Hearing these words, Noa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She will seek revenge on Derek for what happened before, but she won't say she will take revenge on him for Karlina.
She still paid attention to him in the end, right?
Now she is only angry with him because of Karlina, he still has a chance.
Thinking so, Noa happily stood up. 'Bertha, don't worry, I will change all of these things. I'm willing to wait. As long as you turn around, I will always be here."
After he finished speaking, he left.
Bertha's face darkened. Looks like he still doesn't understand what she means.
Waiting for the opportunity later, she explained to him later.

In the following days, Zillah went to different construction sites every day, was rarely present at the company, and never went to the company to report on work progress.
If Mrs. Victoria called to ask, she just said she was busy.
Mrs. Victoria was unhappy with Zillah's attitude. If she hadn't needed her help, she would have been angry at Zillah.
Mrs. Victoria was thinking when the phone rang, it was Rose calling.
'Good girl, what's wrong?"
Rose's voice on the other end of the phone was extremely dissatisfied, her mouth full of resentment.
'Why has my pocket money decreased recently? I can't go shopping with my friends. What should I do?"
Mrs. Victoria was somewhat worried.
Now all the money is given to Zillah to invest in different items, she can only quietly reduce Rose's pocket money.
"Mom. Why are you doing this to me?"
Mrs. Victoria had no choice but to comfort Rose.
'Good girl, recently the company encountered some financial difficulties, I had to do the same. Wait until things get better, your pocket money will double, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
'Then I would like a full set of limited edition skin care products released by LC."
"Okay. I know."
Hang up the phone, in Mrs. Victoria shows up on Zillah's face.
These past few days, Zillah hasn't come to the company to report progress, nor has she called. Why does she feel like this grandchild is hiding something from her?
She was insecure in her heart, so Mrs. Victoria decided to call Zillah herself.
She had just opened the phone book when the door opened and her assistant Iris pushed the door open and rushed in.
Mrs. Victoria was unhappy and angrily scolded Iris. 'Why don't you knock on the door?"
Iris ignored it, she said nervously. 'Mrs. Victoria, something bad happened. The Niagara Stream project team is making noise outside the door, they block the main door of the building."
'What?"
Mrs. Victoria slammed her hand on the table, she stood up in surprise. 'What do they rely on to be so arrogant? Where is the security team? Why not stop them?"
'There are many people outside, who say the payment for the project has not been transferred to their account, the person in charge was fired by Zillah's general manager. She believes that the person in charge did not complete the task well. They held construction tools on the construction site as weapons, screaming for you to explain."
Don't transfer payments?
So where is her money?
Just what the hell is Zillah doing?
