"Wrong is wrong. I will not be biased. Taking this opportunity, I will cultivate their character."
Although there was no problem with these words, after all, Bertha also felt that something was strange.
"Mrs. Victoria is your biological mother, aren't you afraid that she will scold you for being an unfilial child?"
Derek's head dropped lower, Bertha couldn't see his expression.
He was silent for a moment before speaking. "She can accept it, if she can't accept it, I will replace her."
In this aspect of handling, Bertha somewhat praised his style.
"I'm going back to Angel's company, you keep working."
"Okay."
Bertha stood up and walked towards the door, her eyes detecting that he was still squatting. 'I'm gone, why don't you stand up?"
Derek's face was so white that it looked like there was no blood left. "My legs are numb."
Bertha smiled, not paying attention to him anymore, she opened the door and went out.
Before leaving, she told Allison about Derek's request for an assistant.
Allison worked very quickly. That afternoon, Liam voluntarily went to Derek's office to report.
"Boss, it's you. From now on, you won't have to meet me quietly, and won't make Miss Bertha suspicious. You're so smart."
Derek was already busy working in front of the computer. He was suddenly attracted by Liam's words and glanced at him incredulously.
"Didn't I secretly meet you? What I did was the right thing to do."
He fiercely picked up a pen from the table and threw it towards Liam's head.
Liam patted his head.
"Boss, you are so cruel, my brain is concussed, you must compensate me for work accident costs."
Derek's eyes were cold, he picked up another tree.
Liam was scared. "I was wrong. Next time I won't dare anymore."
Liam briefly checked the office once, confirmed there were no eavesdropping devices, and then gave the documents from Cadell to Derek.
Derek took the document of Cadell's testimony and the completely redacted timeline of events. He opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Boss, with this evidence from Cadell, you can be exonerated."
Derek said nothing, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He thought for a bit, and finally, in front of Liam, he tore up the documents.
Liam was stunned.
"Boss. What are you doing? This is proof that you did not harm Bertha."
Derek had no expression. "If I show this piece of evidence to her, the trust I'm trying to create in her now will completely disappear."
Liam didn't understand, he was heartbroken looking at that pile of scraps of paper.
This was something he had to be extremely busy for a while to complete.
Derek didn't look at the pile of shredded paper. "The moment you just gave me this evidence, I realized, with the strength of Bertha and her brothers, how could they not investigate the origin of the story? She didn't investigate, in her heart she thought I was the murderer."
He sighed, it seemed Bertha didn't trust him at all.
He wants to gain her trust again, which is not an easy task.
"Furthermore, if I give her this evidence, during this time I will quietly check behind her back, and go see what happened to Cadell, she knows everything, later, she just be more wary of me."
Liam got it, he was a little heartbroken for Derek. "So this matter, you can only take responsibility for yourself. This damn Cadell, it seems a hundred strokes are not enough. I should beat him two hundred more."

Half a month later.
During this period, Tibble Corporation experienced a period of ups and downs, projects gradually increased again.
Allison took the data document and gave it to Bertha. Bertha was very satisfied. "Based on the current situation, Tibble Corporation's business situation is stable. If we find Helga Corporation to discuss, we can gradually arrange it."
Allison nodded. "Boss, what are you going to do?"
Bertha laughed.
"From now on, as long as it is something that Helga Corporation wishes, within the scope that Tibble Corporation can accept, everything will be cut off."
Just as she finished speaking, her assistant knocked on the door and came in. "Miss. Bertha, Director Noa has arrived."
"I know."
Allison left the office, just in time to see Noa enter, the two greeted each other.
Waiting until Allison was completely gone, Noa sat in the chair opposite Bertha's desk.
Without raising her eyes, Bertha asked. "What are you doing here today?"
There was a smile on Noa's face, his ears were a little pink. "Bertha, did you forget, three days later is my birthday."
Bertha doesn't remember at all.
"So you want me to wish you a happy birthday first? I remember before, your parents would hold a party every year on your birthday. How long do you plan to return to S city?"
Noa was a bit embarrassed. "My parents said, if I don't bring my lover home, I don't need to go home anymore."
In the blink of an eye, Bertha understood what he came here for today.
"But you are the backbone of Vontroe's house. How could your parents not let you come back? Don't joke with me."
Having been exposed to her, Noa was not discouraged. "I know you won't be returning to S city for the time being, but three days later, please go out to dinner with me, as your birthday present to me. There's no problem, right?"
As a friend, his reason was not much, Bertha had no reason to refuse, so she agreed.
—
At the same time, on the twenty-third floor of the Tibble Corporation building.
Liam quietly walked into Derek's office.
"Boss, I heard that Mr. Noa is here again, he is talking privately with Miss. Bertha on the top floor."
"Private talk?"
Derek frowned, unhappy.
As long as Noa comes back, nothing good will happen.
Derek stood up, pushed open the office door, and entered the elevator to the top floor.
Noa came out of Bertha's office, he was waiting for the elevator to go downstairs.
