'Why don't I dare?"
Mrs. Jennifer looked into Bertha's fierce eyes, she immediately lost and turned to look at Mr. Tabitha, crying.
'Husband, do you sit and watch your daughter bully me? Me and her, there's only one person left in the dining room. You choose."
Mr. Tabitha was stuck in the middle, he was extremely awkward, and feeling a headache.
Bertha saw him sigh, his wrinkled face showed pain, and her heart was not comfortable either.
After several years of not returning, her father has aged a lot. As his daughter, she didn't want her father to be upset, but it was really difficult for her to get along with Mrs. Jennifer.
'I don't want to eat anymore."
She stood up, straightened her clothes, turned around, but did not go upstairs but went out the door of the villa.
'Bertha, it's late, where do you want to go?"
Mr. Tabitha called after her.
But she pretended not to hear, she didn't turn around and left the villa.
Bertha left, and Mr. Tabitha felt guilty.
Mrs. Jennifer said from the side. "She's grown up, nothing will happen to her, stop pampering her, go eat quickly."
Mr. Tabitha was angry, but he could not scold Mrs. Jennifer, he was no longer in the mood to eat, he just ate lightly and went upstairs.
Mrs. Jennifer didn't care, she continued eating.
Furthermore, because today is Bertha's first day home, tonight Mr. Tabitha instructed the chef to cook many delicious dishes.
Rarely winning against Bertha once, Mrs. Jennifer was extremely pleased, she tried each dish prepared for Bertha in turn.

Tonight, Bertha's mood is extremely bad, she doesn't want to return to Griselda's house, making Mr. Tabitha awkward.
She took Tyrone and Casey to the bar and rented a VIP room to drink.
Among the bodyguards, only Tommy received orders from Venn, he was able to advise Bertha.
At this time, two bodyguards were standing outside to guard her. They were worried that after a while she would lose her temper and get drunk.
The two of them were discussing whether or not they needed to call Tommy and ask him to come over and advise her when Noa just happened to pass by the hallway.
He had met Casey. 'Is Bertha inside the room?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other, but they did not answer him.
Noa felt awkward, he quietly opened the door and looked, there was only Bertha alone, but she was drinking highly concentrated white wine, her face was red, and she was lying on the sofa, dreaming, but She was still drinking.
'Alcohol is harmful to your health, let me advise her."
The two of them had no better way, they thought that at least Noa was their lady's friend, what if he could advise her, so the two of them did not stop her?
Noa opened the door and went in. He sat down next to Bertha, gently advising her. 'Bertha, stop drinking, you're drunk, can I take you home?"
Bertha half opened her sleepy eyes, her head was dizzy, and she was drunk.
'Derek, I miss you, don't leave, please come back, okay?"
Her voice was very small, Noa leaned close to her mouth to hear her mumbles.
Derek?
Is she calling Derek?
Noa suppressed her unhappy mood and comforted her. 'Bertha, I won't leave you, I'm not going anywhere."
Bertha didn't respond, she just collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep.
After Noa asked Casey, he found out that she was in a bad mood tonight and that she didn't want to go back to Griselda's house, so he insisted that Tyrone and Tommy swipe his card, go to the hotel next door, and rented a room for Bertha.
Waiting until Tyrone and Casey left, he helped Bertha out of the VIP room.
Noa had not even taken two steps when a figure suddenly jumped in front of them in an instant.
Waiting for him to react, Bertha was transferred to the lap of the man opposite.
The man wore a silver-gray mask. Although his face could not be seen, anger could be seen in his eyes. The surrounding atmosphere was very low.
Just looking at the mask, Noa knew his nickname. Noa smiled and greeted him.
"Mr. Shane, what a coincidence, are you here too?"
Shane didn't care about Noa, he carefully hugged the drunk Bertha into his arms.
After observing her condition, the ferocity in Shane's eyes became even more intense. "Her ability to drink alcohol has always been very good. Why is she so drunk? What did you do to her?"
Noa felt it was unfair, but with Shane's question as well as his behavior when keeping Bertha, he was very dissatisfied.
"Mr. Shane, are you suspecting me of drugging her? I despise doing things like this. It was all because Bertha was in a bad mood, I drank with her, she was drunk, and I had to take her home to rest."
He stepped forward to grab Bertha, but Shane leaned out of the way and hugged Bertha tighter to his chest.
'No need to bother you, I will take good care of her."
Noa's expression gradually became serious. 'What do you mean, you like Bertha too?"
"Correct."
Noa feels so upset.
He just lost an opponent in Derek, and now he has Shane in the way.
"Mr. Shane, it doesn't seem good for you to hug her like that. Besides, Bertha just returned to S city, it seems like she's not familiar with you, and she and I have known each other since we were kids. You better give her to me."
He intended to take Bertha back hard, but Liam blocked him. 'Please have some self-respect, Miss. Bertha and Mr. Shane are engaged, he takes care of Miss. Bertha is reasonable."
"Engagement?"
What the hell is going on? Why hadn't he heard about this news?
Liam saw Noa's doubts, he said. 'Last night, Mr. Miller came to Griselda's house to get engaged, The news will be announced at Miss. Bertha's cleansing party. Please understand clearly who is the outsider."
Noa's face turned pale. He didn't expect Miller's house to act so quickly, but Mr. Tabitha still agreed.
Shane is Bertha's fiance, and Noa is just a friend, this time he doesn't have the upper hand.
Seeing that he didn't stop him anymore, Shane carried Bertha's bridal style, he turned around and prepared to leave.
