Bertha heard his voice a little breathless, the collar of his white shirt was wet with sweat. An hour before she arrived home, he was very busy.
"Have you finished cooking dinner yet?"
"Not yet. Can you give me another twenty minutes?"
Seeing that he was very busy today, Bertha didn't want to intentionally make things difficult for him. She gently said 'Uhm' and then went upstairs.
—
Dusk, at the men's prison in City X.
After the prisoners finished eating, they were free for half an hour.
The prison's most prestigious boss will visit tonight, and Cadell plans to quietly take a shower.
There weren't many people bathing at this time. As soon as he took off his shirt, someone gagged him with a piece of white cloth from behind and pulled him to the corner of the wall.
Even though his fighting ability wasn't bad, he still couldn't withstand the sneak attack from eight big men from behind, they pinned him down.
By the time he discovered there was an anesthetic on the white cloth, it was too late, his whole body was completely unconscious.
When Cadell woke up, his surroundings had completely changed.
It's a shabby little room.
Of course, he was taken out of prison.
He tried to wiggle his wrists but found that his hands were tied tightly with rope.
He was hung from the beam of the small room, his toes barely able to stabilize his center of gravity on the ground.
This position is quite tiring since his arms are hanging upside down, and his whole body will quickly become exhausted.
Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening.
The door opened, and as soon as he saw someone entering, his eyes trembled.
"Liam, Aran, guys..."
Liam ignored him, and Aran stepped up to punch him. "You are a traitor. Why did you help Laura slander Boss in front of Miss. Bertha. Cadell, are you crazy?"
Speaking of Laura, Cadell was a little excited. "What did she do wrong? It's all Bertha's fault, you and Boss were all deceived by her."
Aran was angry. Cadell fell into the trap of love and became so blind.
"It's useless for you to follow Boss for so many years, what an idiot."
Aran got angry and stomped his feet.
But Cadell is very stubborn now, he doesn't listen to anyone, and he can't bear to hear them speak ill of Laura.
Liam sighed. "Now that he doesn't listen to what we say, it's useless for you to say anymore. Didn't he say that Laura was a good girl? Show him the evidence of her crime."
Cadell remained steadfast until Aran presented evidence against Laura.
"How is this possible..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Aran standing before him holding the certificate of authenticity. When he encountered the assassin disguised as a doctor at the Greer's house villa, it turned out to be Laura's doing.
She said on the outside that she would help him, but behind her back she wanted him to die.
Cadell cried as if the factual basis Aran gave could not be wrong.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was so heartbroken. He felt his heart was so uncomfortable that he was about to suffocate.
Laura lied to him for so long, that he was hurt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry boss, I betrayed your trust, you can deal with me however you want."
Seeing him crying so pitifully, Liam sighed. "Please tell me about the things you helped Laura before, don't lie."
"Okay."
As he spoke, Liam listened, Aran was right next to him using the computer to record what he said.
"Since the plane hijacking incident, I was taken to prison by Bertha."
Aran held the computer and showed it to Liam. After Liam carefully looked at it once, he closed the computer, his eyes were a bit complicated, looking into the distance.
"We used to be friends. This is probably the last time we'll see each other. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Cadell closed his eyes, his mind turning to ash.
"No, it's because I'm stupid, please kill me."
Liam laughed. "Do you think the boss wants to kill you? He wants you to live to atone for your sins."
Liam looked at the time for a moment and said to Aran. "You find two people and beat him a hundred times, but must keep his life. Then you take him back to prison, you tell the people in prison, from now on, no one dares to treat Being good to him is a hindrance to the boss."
"Okay."
Liam took the computer and left the small room.
Very quickly, the small room echoed with the sound of fighting along with the man's groans, sounding both painful and strange.

The next day, Bertha finished breakfast and went to work as usual.
Derek cleaned up the dishes and walked out the door with her.
Although he no longer owns Tibble Corporation, his majesty over the years remains. Furthermore, he still has 40% of the shares in his hand, and his speaking power in Tibble Corporation is still very high.
It's just where he lives, from the office on the twenty-eighth floor to the twenty-third floor, but Derek doesn't care, these things are just frivolous to him, but Bertha wants it, he will try to help her.
But just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean others don't care.
At lunchtime, manager Kai and manager Peter knocked on Derek's office door.
"Good afternoon, General Manager Derek." They said together.
Derek glanced at the two of them, his tone extremely cold. "What?"
Manager Kai and Manager Peter glanced at each other. "We came here today mainly to discuss this matter with you."
Without lifting his head, Derek spoke. "For big things, find Miss Bertha, for small things, find Allison."
The two of their faces stiffened, and they winked at each other.
Manager Peter hurriedly said. "Since Tibble Corporation changed ownership, Allison has always deliberately oppressed us, the old employees who have followed you for many years, and Miss. Bertha is a difficult woman, we cannot reason with her. Now that you're back, aren't you considering robbing Tibble Corporation again?"
Derek's hand stopped momentarily, but he didn't say anything.
