Noa smiled and spoke first. "Hello, Mr. Derek. What a coincidence."
Derek's face was cold, his tone indifferent. "It's not a coincidence, I intentionally found you."
Finally, the two of them walked together to a safe and quiet passage in the building.
Derek and Noa brought assistants to guard the different sides of the aisle.
Noa leisurely leaned against the railing of the walkway. "What do you want to say?"
Derek's dark eyes stared at him, Derek's expression cold.
"If your sister has a conflict with Bertha in the future, who will you choose?"
Noa considered for a moment. 'That won't happen, because Karlina already knows Bertha's identity. As long as Karlina still cares about Venn, she won't quarrel with Bertha."
"Are you sure?"
Derek smiled coldly. "As far as I know, the engagement between Venn and Karlina was arranged two years ago, but they have not yet confirmed it on paper, because Venn did not agree. Venn previously asked to annul the engagement, but your grandfather advised, that this engagement will continue."
"So what?" Noa is confused.
"You understand Bertha's personality very well, Karlina once harmed her, and Karlina's tricks are very cruel. In this life, Bertha will never live in harmony with Karlina. Karlina is also not the one who will suffer, because So between your sister and Bertha, you can only choose one."
Noa was a bit angry.
"What's the matter with you? Can't I choose both? The problem between those two, I will advise."
Derek laughed. 'You don't like Bertha that much, you're just numbing yourself. Your sister will have to get married anyway, but you hesitate, you don't deserve Bertha at all."
"You are the one who doesn't deserve her. From the day you sign the agreement with her, you and she will never be able to remarry again."
Derek didn't see that as important, he laughed. 'If we don't remarry, it's okay, at least I can still protect her in another way. Before she completely abandons me, I must choose a man for her who has true love and can protect her, but that person is not you."
Hearing these words, Noa's expression softened a lot. 'The person you are talking about is me. In every way, I am very compatible with her. Besides, I've had a crush on her for many years, and I won't hate her for marrying her twice. How can I not be worthy of her? How many men are like me?"
Derek frowned, looking at him a few times.
How could he say these words?
In his heart, he cared about this. He paralyzed himself to love Bertha, promising himself that he must make Bertha love him.
Seeing that Derek didn't speak anymore, Noa told him the good news.
"You probably don't know yet, but in three days she promised to go eat alone with me. That day I will give her a big surprise, will she agree to my proposal?"
A rare provocative smile appeared in Noa's elegant eyes.
Derek's anger gradually increased. He grabbed Noa's shirt collar and warned in a low voice.
"You've been pretending for a long time. I'm afraid that from the beginning, when you became friends with her, you had bad intentions. Stay away from her in the future."
Noa despised Derek, he slapped Derek's hand away. 'You want to stop me?"
Venn and Karlina's engagement may not necessarily come to an end. But, Vontroe's house and Griselda's house have a very good relationship, not to mention he likes Bertha very much. After he and Bertha get married, one stone will kill two birds.
But these words, Noa will not say to Derek.
The two men's eyes warned each other, they fought with their mouths. In the end, they were dragged away by their assistants, ending the war without smoke or gunpowder.
After Noa leaves, Derek takes Liam back to the office.
When he thought about what Noa said, he got angry and slammed his hand on the table, startling Liam.
"Boss, so what are you going to do?"
Derek said angrily. 'In three days, you find a way to pack him up, throw him away, don't let him stay in X city to bother me."
"This…"
Liam is a bit depressed. 'Behind him is Vontroe's house in S city, boss, I…"
Derek glanced at him. 'Vontroe's house is the weakest family among the four great families in S city. He didn't bring a bodyguard with him, he came here secretly. Can't you solve this problem?"
Liam was speechless, his superior wanted to exploit him, oppress him, and give him such a big problem. Derek intentionally causes trouble.
"Huh?"
Derek frowned, glaring at Liam.
In the blink of an eye, Liam was scared and laughed.
'I will negotiate with Aran after returning, but until then, I will need your coordination."
Derek's face now returned to normal. "Okay."
Over the past half month, Bertha had trusted him a little more. She didn't let Tyrone and Casey follow him. In his heart, he was very happy and confident.

Three days later.
Because she had a dinner date with Noa today, Bertha planned to leave work an hour early.
Just as she finished packing her papers and preparing to leave, she received a call from Tommy in the villa by the sea.
"Mistress, Mr. Derek was not careful and was injured, his waist was bleeding continuously. Please return home, please."
Bertha thought for a moment, she felt strange. 'If he was injured, why didn't he go to the hospital? What's the use of me coming back?"
"Mr. Derek said that this was the wound he received while looking for his friends in the mountains. Today he was not careful enough to touch the wound while doing housework. His physical condition is not comparable to before. I am helping him stop the bleeding. Are you sure you won't come back?"
Is that an old injury on his back?
That wound was caused by her first brother's subordinate.
"Okay, I understand."
Turning off the phone, she called Noa's phone number for the first time, but the voice on the phone reminded her that he was not in the service area right now.
