She was given a headache by two men, she had to chase them away
She turned her head to look at Noa. 'What are you here for today?"
Noa originally came to advise on Bertha's signing of the agreement with Derek, but Derek was present so he couldn't speak.
So he talks business. 'It's about building a film and television base. At first, I went to Angle to find you, but you weren't from there. I knew you were at Tibble Corporation so I came."
This is work.
Bertha looked at Derek. 'Yesterday afternoon until now, you still haven't visited your mother and sister, right? I told the bodyguard to lead you to the house, you comforted the two of them a bit, you told the two of them not to make a fuss to avoid getting into trouble."
'Did she purposely chase me away?'
'So she chose Noa over me?'
Derek was very upset. "Do not go."
Bertha didn't care if he was happy or not, she called a bodyguard to come and drag him away.
When the two men looked at each other, Noa saw that Derek's left cheek was still swollen. He smiled sarcastically as if he had won.
Derek walked out of the office with a black face, down the elevator, he was stuffed into the car by bodyguards.
But now he is no longer jealous like when he was with Noa.
He thought about Noa's last words.
It seems that, out of irritation for him, Venn also said the same thing before.
At that time he didn't think much, he thought that Venn said that on purpose to make him angry.
Now that he thinks about it a bit, he feels that something is not right.
When he reluctantly marries Bertha, Derek doesn't care about her identity because he doesn't love her. He just heard people say that she was an orphan.
But the two young masters Venn and Noa, two powerful families of S city, both said they had known her since childhood...
Could it be that she is also a member of several major families in S city?
If Bertha is an unknown woman, why does his father insist on him marrying her? Surely they must have known each other.
Then, taking advantage of his absence, she robbed Tibble Corporation and the mansion and even sent Fawn to kill him.
Was it possible that the whole thing was a conspiracy from the beginning?
If that's true, is she forcing him to sign a labor contract as an act?
The fact that he owes her three years of youth is to wash away all doubts and arouse his guilt.
Derek rolled his eyes, the doubt in his heart deepening.
The car stopped in front of Derek's gate.
Derek wanted to go inside himself, so he turned around and said to the two bodyguards. "You guys wait for me at the gate, I'll go inside and take a look, just for a moment."
The bodyguard looked determined. 'No way, Miss. Bertha warned us, we must protect your safety, we will not leave even an inch away, please don't make things difficult for us."
Bertha guarded him very closely.
'Okay. But when my sister and I talk, please stand far away and don't eavesdrop on our conversation, okay?"
The two bodyguards glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
Because Mrs. Victoria is old, she has understood from a young age what suffering is, so she does not make things difficult for Juliet's group of people.
Rose is young, has a shallow temperament, and since childhood, she has been used to being arrogant and always resisting the instructions of Juliet and the other maids, so the two of them are assigned two separate tasks.
Rose has to clean the maids' dirty bathrooms.
Because of the closer distance, Derek chose to visit her first.
The maids received the news, released Rose, and arranged for Rose to wait in the hallway for Derek.
Rose was wearing servant's clothes, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time.
She just saw Derek, and as if she saw her savior, she ran to hug him, wanting to be comforted.
"Older brother. You finally come back. You came to save me, right? Please take me away quickly. Now, home for me is like hell. I don't want to be here another second."
She pulled Derek's hand to leave, but Derek didn't move.
She doesn't understand.
The bodyguard next to him explained to him. 'Now he is Miss Bertha's maid, he didn't save you, he just came to visit you."
'Huh? When did you become a maid?"
Rose was terrified and her hopes collapsed.
She simply couldn't accept this truth. 'Brother, why did you surrender to her? You are my brother. You are the only man of Tibble's family. Why you…"
The bodyguard still wanted to say something but was glanced at by Derek's aggressive eyes. He closed his mouth and went somewhere else to rest.
Seeing that the bodyguard had left, Derek spoke in a low voice. 'Rose, you stay here for a while, I will think of a way."
Rose cried. 'What can you think of? You are already her servant, no different from my status and mother…"
She paused, suddenly she thought of something, and her expression gradually became cruel.
"I got it. You're usually by her side now, right? So you should find an opportunity to kill her. I hate her. She and I will forever be enemies."
Derek looked at the state of hate clouding her mind, he figured that even if he said more, she wouldn't listen.
Derek reminded her of two sentences so that she would be less tormented during this time, then he prepared to visit Mrs. Victoria.
Rose didn't give up yet, she shouted. "Older brother. Remember, you must kill her."
The expressions of the two bodyguards changed slightly.
Derek let the expressions of the two of them in his eyes, said nothing, and went to visit Mrs. Victoria.
Mrs. Victoria was mowing the lawn in the small yard next to the back gate.
Seeing her intact son standing before her, she was happy and hugged Derek. She cried and asked kindly.
'My son, you have returned. At this time, you are quite skinny, do you not eat well? Why is your face so pale? Are you sick? I know you won't have any luck by Bertha's side. But you have to take good care of yourself, otherwise I will be very heartbroken."
