Mrs. Ivory watched Bertha finish eating the orange, her heart bleeding.
She asked someone to bring this orange tree back from Europe by air. Its value is great, the tree bearing lush fruit implies prosperity, and this orange alone is worth thousands of gold.
Derek picked more oranges.
She squeezed her palm, suppressed the anger in her heart, and smiled.
'You are truly a talented woman. You're divorced and out of the house but can still take over the Tibble Corporation quickly. In this world, there are not many women I can admire. You are one of them. If you want to visit my family, I welcome you at any time, but you brought many of your subordinates here, what do you mean?"
Bertha did not raise her eyes. Waiting for Derek to peel the orange, she ate another fruit and spoke. 'You've been thinking a lot, I came here today to take revenge on Zillah."
"Revenge?"
Mrs. Ivory was stunned.
Zillah had just come down from the stairs. When she saw that it was Bertha, there was unconcealable hatred in her eyes.
But very quickly she noticed the group of men behind Bertha, they were wearing black suits, standing straight, all had serious expressions on their faces as if they were about to eat people, this was very scary.
Seeing her heart pounding, she walked over to stand next to Mrs. Ivory and arrogantly stared at Bertha.
'Why did you bring so many people to my house? I can sue you for trespassing."
Bertha waved her hand indifferently. 'Just now your mother said I could visit Helga's house at any time, so I came here. Was that a break-in?"
The two women gritted their teeth and said nothing.
The bodyguards behind Bertha shouted in unison. "Are not."
Their voices are loud, strong, and majestic.
Mrs. Ivory and her daughter were startled by the sudden growl, their faces pale.
Bertha was delighted with their reaction, she calmly sat up. 'Two days ago, I attended a charity party. On the way home, my car broke down and suddenly forty assassins jumped out and wanted to kill me."
Zillah snorted coldly.
'What does that have to do with me? Because you are not under control. Unfortunately, with so many assassins, they can't kill you."
Bertha had no expression. 'Yes, thanks to you, I'm temporarily not dead, but I'm still injured a bit. I came here today to collect my debt, otherwise, I would feel uncomfortable."
When she mentioned that she was injured, the bodyguards behind her became darker, more gloomy, and scary.
Derek kept his head bowed, he peeled Bertha's orange seriously as if it had nothing to do with him.
There were fifty-nine people in total. Standing in front of them, they would have been scared to death if they didn't have a strong mentality.
Zillah felt the threat, instinctively, she hugged Mrs. Ivory's arm tightly and warily stared at Bertha. "What do you want to do?"
Bertha just smiled, her eyebrows and eyes arched, she looked extremely attractive.
She gently raised her hand, and a group of bodyguards stepped forward.
Zillah's face turned pale, she unconsciously stepped back, gritted her teeth, and looked at Bertha.
'You dare to kill me? I did nothing wrong. You have no evidence, on what basis are you touching me?
'Who said I would kill you? If you die, the game is over, no fun. I will present evidence, soon."
Finally, Bertha suddenly retracted the smile on her face, her eyes were beautiful and cold, and she commanded in a low voice. 'Hold her tight."
The bodyguard immediately rushed to arrest her.
With Zillah's small body, she could feel them wanting to strangle her.
She was extremely scared. The memory of the last time she was slapped in the face by Bertha's bodyguard made her whole body tremble.
Mrs. Ivory is experienced, she quickly reacted and shouted at her bodyguard. 'What are you standing there for? You call all the bodyguards and maids to protect Zillah."
The bodyguards of Helga's house quickly took action.
But they were no match for Bertha's bodyguard group. In less than a minute, all members of Helga's house in this villa were controlled.
Zillah saw that the situation was not good, she wanted to run, but before her legs could move, her shoulders were held tightly.
Bertha's bodyguards were uncompromising, they were very heavy-handed and stubbornly knelt on the ground.
She shouted. 'You bastard, if you dare to touch me, I will not let you go. I will make you die miserably. That's hurt. Let me go."
"You're so cruel. Helga's house is after all a famous figure in the city. You dare to bully us?"
Mrs. Ivory was also controlled by the bodyguards. She could only stand by and constantly condemn and threaten Bertha.
Bertha didn't pay any attention to them, she silently ate her orange.
Under her long eyelashes, her beautiful eyes stared at the two women for a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she ate the orange deliciously.
Her beautiful and cruel appearance made Derek's heart tremble. He was a little excited, wanting to quietly caress her white face.
He looked intently at Bertha.
Mrs. Ivory looked at him and shouted. 'Derek. You let your ex-wife bully us?"
Derek's face was pale and his tone was cold.
'Aunt Ivory, Zillah must have told you, that I signed a labor contract with Bertha. I'm her person, I can't help you."
'You help bad people do evil things. We are your relatives."
Mrs. Ivory continued speaking, Bertha felt a bit noisy, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. 'It's too noisy, stop them for me."
The bodyguard immediately went to find a rag and gagged Mrs. Ivory, because Zillah still had to answer Bertha's questions, they didn't silence her.
Bertha took the dagger from Liam's hand and looked at it. She stood up and walked to Zillah's side.
She gently lifted Zillah's chin with the tip of the knife.
Zillah felt a slight pain in her chin. She was so scared that she did not dare to let out anger, her eyes trembled helplessly.
Her voice finally calmed down. 'Bertha, it has nothing to do with me, it's useless for you to take revenge on me."
Bertha scoffed. 'I know there is someone behind you helping you plan. If you can give that person and Laura to me, I will let you go, and our previous debt can also be erased, how about? Helga's house can live a peaceful life in the future."
Zillah was a bit hesitant.
