Bertha's head hurt like a hammer. After waking up, the first thing she called was still that name.
'Derek…"
Even though her throat was hoarse, Venn sitting on the edge of the bed could still hear it.
He sighed softly, in his hand cooling the chicken soup that Aunt Jinna had just stewed for Bertha. 'Bertha, forget him, I believe that in the future you will meet a good man who will love you more."
Bertha glanced at Venn in surprise. She wanted to argue but her throat couldn't make a sound.
In this society, people are very practical, how many people can exchange their lives for others?
In her entire life, she will never meet another man who loves her like that again.
Her heart ached once, Bertha clutched it tightly, the pain was so much that her eyebrows furrowed, and cold sweat flowed down.
Venn knew she couldn't accept it, but he had no other choice, so he could only continue to gently advise her.
'You're still young, your days will get better and better, don't think about that suffering, okay? Since you returned from his funeral, you've been very haggard. I am very sad."
'If my father, eldest brother, and second brother found out, they would be heartbroken. If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about the people who love you."
Bertha turned her face away, she looked out the window, not paying attention to him.
'Bertha, please drink chicken soup, Aunt Jinna stewed it for you, it's delicious."
Venn brought the spoon to her mouth.
Bertha refused to drink and pursed her pale, slightly dry lips.
Venn knew her personality was resilient, he sighed again, he could only advise her in other ways.
'If you want to make it up to him, you have to get healthy quickly. Now that he's dead, Tibble's family only has two women left. Currently, all their assets are in your hands, but Mr. Devon will get in your way. Anyway, you have to make good arrangements for his relatives."
Finally, Bertha's eyes brightened a little.
Venn happily continued. 'You have to get better quickly and find the best solution, right?"
She lowered her eyes, falling into thought at his words.
Venn quickly brought the chicken soup to her mouth again, he gently comforted her. 'So, can we drink this chicken soup now? Take good care of your body and then you can handle these things."
This time, Bertha did not refuse to drink the chicken soup he offered.
The third brother is right, Mrs. Victoria and Rose are Derek's only relatives in this world. She needs to handle things well between the two of them in the future.
As for Tibble Corporation, she no longer has the heart to run it, she will hand it over to Tibble's family, but it must be someone she can trust.
However, with Rose's personality, she needs to teach Rose a little.
She considered carefully and rested for two days, her health was much better, and her throat gradually recovered.

In the morning, while lying in bed eating chicken porridge, she called Archie into her room.
'Mistress, are you looking for me?"
Bertha was eating porridge, her expression expressionless, asking. 'How's it going on Bruno's side?"
'I heard that he was sent to high-level prison. I still don't know how long the prison sentence will be. But he certainly cannot hold the position of captain of the Secret Investigation Department anymore. Anyway, he stole illegal drugs from the laboratory, this is not a small matter, moreover Mr. Derek is also a member of the National Bureau of Investigation..."
Bertha's hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped.
Archie smacked his mouth in frustration. Venn had told her not to mention Derek's name in front of her.
Bertha regained the emotions in her eyes, stirring the bowl of porridge in her hand, her voice indifferent. 'What is the reaction from Felix's house side?"
Archie said. 'Bruno is only the fourth son of Felix's house, he is not in charge of management. It seems that the members of Felix's house are fighting over property, they have no intention of saving him."
Even Felix's house couldn't save him, so Bruno is in trouble this time.
Whoever told him to hurt Derek, deserved it.
Bertha withdrew her thoughts and looked cautiously towards Archie. 'From today, you are no longer my bodyguard, you go."
Archie's whole body trembled. 'Mistress, you don't need me anymore? You still hate me for this…"
'I don't hate you."
Bertha placed the bowl on the nightstand. From beginning to end, her voice was very calm. 'Now the group of black-shirted assassins has been dealt with by him. No one threatens your life anymore, you can leave here safely."
'But, my mistress…"
'I want to follow you, even if I only see you every day.' Before he had a chance to say these words, Bertha's eyes turned cold. 'Every time I see you, I remember the pain he felt while surrounded by flames. I'm very uncomfortable and stuffy, so you should leave."
'Sorry, I'm very sorry about Mr. Derek's incident. You complain and don't want to see me, I can understand."
His eyes were red. 'But can you let me finish my last day of work today? From now on, I promise I won't disturb your life anymore."
Just one day, Bertha has no problem.
"Okay."
Archie left absent-mindedly.
As soon as he left, Tommy rushed into the room. 'Mistress, your phone has been turned off lately, so you haven't picked up Allison's calls. She just sent someone here to say that Mr. Devon comes every day to cause trouble at Tibble Corporation. He loudly asked you to hand over the group's business rights to him."
Bertha had no expression, she had expected this.
Derek just died, and 45% of Tibble Corporation's shares in his hands have not been willed yet. Mr. Devon will not miss this opportunity.
"I see, wait until I finish breakfast, I'll go to Tibble Corporation."
After finishing breakfast, she stabilized her bad mood for the past many days, applied light makeup, and went out.
