Bertha was moved and deeply regretful, she said.
"Mr. Shane, as the head of Miller's house, you must have children and grandchildren to inherit the business, but I really can't help Miller's house with this. Therefore, this marriage should be annulled, otherwise, it will cause harm to Miller's house, and my conscience will be very uncomfortable."
Not only does she have an unlucky fate, but she also cannot have children, which means that this married life will not go well.
She said it, he should have an opinion too, right?
Shane calmed down for a moment, he continued to answer in a hoarse voice. 'I don't like children, so it's okay if you can't have children. Normally my work is quite busy. If you don't like that aspect of life later, you can... not need it."
Bertha was speechless.
Can he endure this too?
He can find another bride, why torture her like this?
She gritted her teeth, her voice as calm as possible, she asked. 'It looks like you support this. This marriage is due to Mr. Miller's decision, or have you had plans for me all along?"
Shane shrugged. 'My grandfather decided, I have no objection."
Oh, does he listen to his elders like that?
Bertha's belly was full of fire.
She continued to endure, but couldn't take it anymore.
In her heart, she hated Shane from the first impression.
She didn't want to talk anymore, she stood up and stroked her skirt, and her attitude also became tougher.
'I don't mind telling you that I have someone I like. I am very dissatisfied with this engagement. I believe you don't want to marry a double-minded woman. Anyway, I will cancel this wedding soon. If you can help me in front of Mr. Miller, consider that I owe you a favor, we can still be friends in the future."
'I'm leaving now."
She arrogantly glanced at the man sitting behind the chair, turned around, and left, she never looked back.
From beginning to end, Shane did not turn back.
Bertha's words "I already have someone I like" pierced deep into his heart, causing immense pain.
His long and curved eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his handsome face turned pale.
Bertha walked straight down the stairs, her eyes never looking anywhere else, and walked out of the courtyard of Shane's mansion.
Just as she walked out the door, out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure passing by quickly from the side, quickly going out the back door.
It seems...
Liam?
But how could Liam not say hello when he met her? He even sneaked around a corner and ran away?
Bertha felt strange, her heart was full of doubts.
She didn't drink today, surely she couldn't have mistaken it like last night, it was exactly Liam.
After pondering for a moment, Bertha turned around and carefully observed the villa area.
She remembered that before leaving, Liam said he was going to work with his new boss.
If she wasn't mistaken just now, could it be that Shane is his new boss, and Shane is also a member of the National Investigation Bureau?
She remembered the rumor from the City X police department that the boss of the National Investigation Bureau was wearing a mask and had an ugly face, maybe it was Shane.
However, these things have nothing to do with her. Anyway, this marriage must be annulled.
Behind the thin black silk curtain in the villa's study room, Shane's deep black eyes quietly looked at everything at the villa's entrance.
Bertha's petite figure was standing at the entrance, her gaze looking at the window of the villa's study room.
Liam frantically ran straight upstairs, to the study room door, he barely had time to get through.
He panted, rubbing his chest, which was heaving with surprise and haste.
'Boss, why Miss. Bertha suddenly came here? You should have whispered to me, just as I entered the door I almost bumped into her. Luckily I run fast."
Shane didn't say anything, the air pressure in the room had dropped very low.
Liam approached him. 'Boss, what's wrong with you?"
'Bertha said she had someone she liked…" His tone was very light and low, his eyes very sad.
He originally thought that he almost died because of her once, which might make her leave a corner of her heart for him. But it seems he had set his hopes too high.
Liam was also silent.
It's only been half a year and she already likes a new man?
Liam felt a bit heartbroken for his boss.
He intended to persuade Shane to give up, but he knew his character too well, so he could only coax him.
'Boss, don't think too much anymore, you are Shane, not Derek, she doesn't like you and doesn't love you, so, you pursue her again? Anyway, you look different now, I guess Miss. Bertha would be unrecognizable."
On the night of half a year ago at the abandoned warehouse, he was burned by fire.
After returning to resolve the difficulties at Miller's house, he quietly went abroad to have plastic surgery. Although his face has recovered very well now, he still retains five or six parts of his original face.
He doesn't care about Liam.
Bertha is very clever, as long as they meet, she will immediately recognize the clues, leading to suspicion.

On the way back, Bertha was still thinking about the engagement.
If Shane didn't want to cooperate, then she figured the marriage couldn't be completely resolved before the cleansing party three days later.
The more she thought, the angrier she became. How could the richest position in Griselda's house be taken away by one man?
It's so frustrating.
Her fighting spirit was boiling, so she arranged to build a branch of Angel company today, quickly expanding her business in city X.
The third brother has power in the entertainment industry and is the person who controls the life and death of more than half of the entertainment industry.
So Bertha will be the woman who owns the other half of the entertainment industry.
After a busy afternoon, Bertha chose the location of the building and began sending people to decorate the interior of the company.
Tommy suddenly called.
