Right now, in the office.
Bertha walked in front of Derek and saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly swollen, she could see the mark of a hand on his left cheek.
A beautiful face was betrayed by Mr. Devon's hits like that.
Sooner or later she'll fire that old fox.
"Are you in pain?"
She lifted his chin, examining his wound.
Derek had no expression, nor did he answer, his expression was leisurely as if the person being beaten was not him.
Seeing his indifferent appearance, Bertha immediately became angry, she pinched his left cheek.
Derek frowned and turned away to escape her hand.
'Finally, his face changed, I thought he didn't feel pain.'
Bertha was angry. 'It seems like you know pain. Why when Mr. Devon hit you but you didn't dodge? Don't tell me you didn't react in time."
Without her protection, with his current physical condition, how much could he endure?
Derek pursed his lips, and then he asked her again. 'Where were you when my father died?"
Bertha looked at him and found that his pupils were as black as deep holes.
'He believes Mr. Devon, so you suspect I killed his father?'
She's not lying. 'I was in front of him, the last person he saw before he died was me."
'What did he say to you?"
Bertha was silent for a moment.
Before he passed away, Derek's father didn't just tell her to protect Tibble Corporation.
When Bertha married Derek, Derek's father happily agreed. He is also the only one who knows Bertha's true identity. Because he was friends with Bertha's father.
Derek's father told Bertha about Derek, that he was handsome and talented. She admires Derek very much and decides to go to City X to find Derek. She loved him from the first meeting.
It's just a shame that Derek was in love with Laura at that time. Bertha had to stand in the back. After he broke up with Laura, she stayed by his side, encouraging him through his pain.
Pushed by Derek's father, he reluctantly marries Bertha.
Derek's father told her. 'Good kid, although Derek is arrogant, he values gratitude very much. If you let him realize your kindness, then he begins to like you, he will be willing to do anything because of you. Promise me, take good care of him, and never divorce, okay?"
But, she broke her promise because she couldn't make Derek's icy heart melt.
Therefore, protecting Tibble Corporation was her final promise to Derek's father.
Derek saw her stunned, he squinted his eyes and asked her. 'What did he say to you anyway?"
Bertha sat back in her chair, her eyes indifferent again.
"Can not answer."
Her tone when she said these words was a bit careless.
Anger suddenly rose in Derek's eyes.
She continued. "What's up? Do you also think I killed him?"
Derek was silent, his face serious. 'No, you won't."
'Looks like he wasn't fooled.'
'He's not stupid either.'
Her anger subsided quite a bit.
She raised her head and saw that the left side of Derek's face was swollen and out of proportion, destroying his normally handsome face.
Even though his personality is unpleasant, his face is still usable, ruining it is not good.
She took the medicine from the drawer under the tea table and pushed it in front of him. 'You should apply the medicine. There is ice in the refrigerator in the other corner, apply ice to your face."
"Okay."
Derek did not refuse.
He took the ice, walked to the sofa, and applied the medicine.
Bertha went to her desk, she started handling today's work.
The bodyguard and Allison went out and closed the door.
Now, the only thing left in the office was the sound of typing on the keyboard, along with the sound of Derek applying medicine to his face, the atmosphere was quite strange.
No one opened their mouth first.
This atmosphere lasted for half an hour until Allison knocked on the door again and entered.
'Miss. Bertha, Mr. Noa is here."
'What did Noa come to Tibble Corporation for?'
Bertha thought and then spoke. 'Let him in."
Derek sitting on the sofa suddenly frowned.
'Who is Noa? Is it the man she just met?'
Noa pushed the door open as Derek stood up.
Even though they were far apart, the two of them still discovered the other's existence from the first moment.
The enemy saw the enemy, fire shot out in all four directions.
Derek said. 'It turns out you are the young master of Vontroe's house. Sorry."
When Noa saw Derek, anger flared up.
He originally came here to advise Bertha on signing the agreement with Derek, but he didn't expect that she would bring Derek to the company.
Noa's face darkened, and he approached Derek, speaking softly. 'Bertha divorced you. She signed a one-year agreement to help you repay the debt. Don't have any intentions with her."
Although his expression remained courteous, his tone contained a threat.
When Derek heard the agreement, he paused a bit.
'He also knows about this, it seems that his relationship with Bertha is not normal.'
'On what basis do you warn me?"
Noa said. 'She's single now, I'm pursuing her. I believe that soon, she will accept me, so I use my identity as her boyfriend to tell you."
'So, now she still hasn't agreed? But have you thought about claiming sovereignty?"
Noa frowned. 'At least I have a chance, but you never will."
'…"
Bertha shook her head.
The two men in front of her were arguing, their eyes flashed fire, and they turned her office into a battlefield.
'Why are these two men so enthusiastic? While I'm very tired of them.' Bertha thought to herself.
Derek said. 'Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't deny that I am her former husband. At least I was close to her."
He emphasized the last words as if his eyes meant something.
Noa was angry. 'But you've only known her for three years, how much do you understand her? I grew up with her as a child, I understand her more than you."
Derek frowned deeper.
"Alright."
