Liam thought for a moment. 'You take the employee walkway, go to the docks of City X, you take him to a cargo ship, preferably an export ship. Boss said, just throw him as far away as possible."
Aran is a bit worried. 'He has no money. If you put him on a cargo ship, nothing will happen to him, right? After all, he is also a rich young master, served by many people."
Liam raised his hand and hit Aran's forehead. 'Are you worried about him? He is a man with full limbs, are you afraid he won't find a way to survive? Furthermore, how long do you think you can hide this from Vontroe's house? He also wants to marry Miss. Bertha? Throwing him on a cargo ship was lucky for him."
"So how should we deal with the two bodyguards of Vontroe's house downstairs?"
Liam said. 'Let me handle it."
'…"
After the two divided the work, they immediately started taking action.

Bertha was driving to the Douglas Hotel when she suddenly received a text message from Noa.
'Bertha, Vontroe's house suddenly had an emergency, they called me, and asked me to return home, so for dinner, I can only meet you another time, sorry.'
What's urgent about Vontroe's house, why are you asking him to come back so late?
Besides, Noa has always been someone who has never broken a promise.
Bertha felt a bit strange, parked her car on the side of the road, and called Noa. But his phone was turned off.
Did he get on the plane that quickly?
Without thinking, she returned to the villa by the sea.
Derek saw her return, joy evident on his face.
Bertha felt a little strange about his affability, but she didn't care. She only ate a few spoonfuls and then went upstairs to rest.

The next day, both of them went to the company as usual.
Tibble Corporation President's Office.
Bertha is with Derek and Allison discussing work.
Tyrone knocks on Bertha's office door.
'Miss. Bertha."
He let out a scream, seeing both Derek and Allison there, he immediately fell silent.
Bertha could see the worry in his eyes, and although she felt strange inside, she still made an excuse for Derek and Allison to leave.
Waiting until everyone left, Bertha asked. "What happened?"
Tyrone leaned close to her ear and whispered to her.
'X City Women's Prison sent someone to say Laura was missing."
Bertha frowned. "She's in prison, why is she missing?"
Tyrone shook his head. "They said she disappeared for half an hour after lunch yesterday, as she evaporated from the world, leaving no trace."
"No trace?"
Bertha laughed. "This is absurd. Why can't they find out anything? We have to investigate clearly. Who visited her last time, no matter how long it took, we have to investigate thoroughly. Even a small detail cannot be overlooked."
"Yes."
"Wait."
Tyrone was about to go out the door when Bertha called him back, her expression extremely serious. "Please investigate all of Cadell's recent prison visit records."
"You doubt…"
Before Tyrone finished speaking, Bertha's eyes became colder and colder.
Hopefully, she's thinking too much.

In the afternoon of the same day, it rained heavily.
As the time of sunset approached, the rain not only did not stop but also became increasingly heavier.
Heavy rain splashed on the window glass, causing the initially intact glass to gradually form cracks.
The weather was so gloomy and scary like it was silently saying something.
Bertha stood by the window enjoying the rain, her expression indifferent, not knowing what she was thinking.
Tyrone spent the entire morning plus the afternoon, and it was almost evening before he returned to report to Bertha.
"Miss. Bertha, I have investigated all the records, and discovered that for nearly half a month only one person has visited Laura and Cadell."
Bertha's expression darkened. "Who?"
"It's Liam."
Tyrone gave her the documents and continued speaking. "Furthermore, not long ago, Cadell also disappeared for about an hour. Finally, he said he got lost in the freezer room. He was locked by the staff because the staff thought there was no one there. Who's in the room? But..."
"Continue."
"When he was discovered, his whole body was covered in blood, with multiple wounds. It seemed like he had used a horsewhip to beat him. Cadell and Liam are both Derek's subordinates."
Bertha frowned. "Why are you reporting this now?"
"Because at that time everyone thought that he was accidentally locked in the freezer room, it was because he had a grudge against the big brother in a certain group that he was beaten. Anyway, he didn't disappear, so Everyone thinks it's no big deal."
Bertha suddenly remembered yesterday afternoon, when she returned to the seaside villa, she saw Derek's unusual expression.
He seemed to delay the time and not let her leave deliberately. Is he afraid she'll find out Laura's missing?
She checked and compared the investigation report and discovered that during that time, Laura went missing.
Is it such a coincidence?
While waiting for her to return to the beach villa, Derek's face showed joy.
Is he congratulating Laura on her successful escape from prison?
Bertha thinks he's been sorry lately. What a pity, all of this was to distract her and save Laura.
Were the things he said before just a lie to her face? Except for Laura, who is always in his heart, right?
Does not accept.
The more Bertha thought about it, the angrier she became, yanking the pile of documents at the corner of the desk and throwing them to the ground.
The whole room became a mess.
"Miss. Bertha."
The first time Tyrone saw her angry, he was so scared that he took two steps back.
Bertha half-closed her cold eyes. "Return to the villa."
In case she was so angry that she drove at a fast speed, Tyrone proactively took the driver's position at this time.
Heavy rain poured down the car window, the sound was clear, making her feel more uneasy.
The anger in Bertha's heart exploded more and more.
