Chapter 10

Derek's face darkened, he looked at her with disappointment, his eyes filled with anger.

"You are stubborn."

He pulled Rose's hand from his sleeve and gave an order. "Starting from today, you are forbidden to go out. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Please reflect on your mistakes."

After speaking, he pulled Laura away.

Rose still wanted to chase, but Cadell held her back, she could only cry bitterly and beg for forgiveness.

Finally, she was forced to return home.

She was so angry that she went crazy. As soon as she returned, she started breaking things to vent her anger, the entire room was a mess.

Mrs. Victoria was awakened by the violent noise and ran to her daughter's room.

"Girl, what's wrong? Aren't you going to the party? Why are you so angry?"

"Mom..."

Rose burst into tears and rushed into Mrs. Victoria's arms, adding a lot to the story of tonight's party and told Mrs. Victoria. "Mom, you have to help me. Brother is not fair. Not only did he not deal with that bitch, he also banned me from going out. Mom, you must help me."

Mrs. Victoria sadly rubbed her back.

"How do you want me to help you?"

There was a cruel look in Rose's eyes. "I want her dead."

Bertha still hasn't found a place to live, so she temporarily moves into Venn's mansion.

Aunt Jinna - the maid - as soon as she saw Bertha, she was both excited and happy, she hugged Bertha, and then she was busy helping Bertha put away her luggage and clean up the bedroom.

Bertha originally intended to go help Aunt Jinna, but Venn pulled her back to the sofa and sat down.

"Sister, you start work at the company tomorrow, do you have any arrangements?"

"Just do what we said before, you just keep being the president, everything in the company is handled by you, I will learn well."

Venn hesitated a bit. "Okay, if you don't want others to know about the relationship between you and me, then after tomorrow, I won't take you to the company anymore, I will give you a limited edition Maserati MC77. For example, this will be the style you like."

"MC77? It's very expensive." Bertha shook her head, her attitude determined. "Just going to work every day, buying a cheap one is fine. If you want to give me a car, then give me a Volkswagen Santana."

Venn frowned. "So… are you okay?"

Bertha grinned, she took his arm and cooed. "Of course it's okay, brother, I have no intention of revealing my true identity for the time being."

Venn nodded. "It's up to you. The security equipment at my house is very good, you can rest assured to stay here during this time, absolutely no one will come to bother you."

Thinking of something, he added again. "Recently, I have been flying abroad every day. At the hospital, my second brother received a rare medical case. He was so busy that he couldn't go anywhere. Hearing the news of your divorce, they were also very happy, so they bought you a small gift, which you will receive in a few days."

Bertha curled her lips angrily. "Why is it that my sister gets divorced and my brothers celebrate happily like fireworks?"

Even though she said that she was very curious. The eldest brother was a top captain, and the company under his name was scattered all over the world, no one dared to touch it. The second brother was a good doctor in the surgical world and is also an outstanding medical master.

If these two brothers want to give her a gift, it will be a special gift.

Venn looked into her intelligent eyes, he chuckled and touched her nose with affection, and then he went upstairs to take a shower.

Midnight.

After Derek took Laura back to the hotel, he also returned to the villa.

He opened the door, the living room was dark and empty.

He didn't know what this feeling was, it was a bit complicated.

He turned on the light, and sat on the sofa, smoking and listening to Cadell report.

"Sorry president, I can't find out where Miss Bertha went. After she left the hotel, it seemed like she disappeared into thin air, and her phone and account were also jammed. signal, our people tried many ways but could not crack the password."

Derek smoked, his face sad.

Bertha seemed to disappear into thin air.

His subordinates were all elite hackers, yet they still couldn't find her location.

He was quite curious why Bertha could hide so well. Could someone help her?

A name appeared in his mind.

Venn?

Derek frowned, his voice cold and stern. "Continue to search, Venn's side also sent people to investigate. Once they find information about Bertha, they will immediately notify me."

"Yes."

Cadell nodded, but his face showed displeasure.

Seeing him still standing there, Derek asked suspiciously. "Why haven't you gone yet? What do you want to say?"

Cadell hesitated for a moment, knowing full well that he might anger his boss, but he spoke anyway.

"I don't understand, president, you're divorced but you still care about your ex-wife. You treat coldly with Miss Laura, who you should care about, what do you think?"

Derek's eyes seemed to condense, he picked up the file on the table and threw it at Cadell.

"That's my business, no need for you to care. Go out."

Cadell left Derek's room.

Derek smoked two more cigarettes. Under the lingering smoke, his face was a bit blurry.

He was a little hungry so he got up and opened the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is full of fruits and vegetables, all of which he likes to eat.

He was stunned on the spot.

Suddenly he vaguely remembered the past three years. Every time he returned home, the first thing he saw was Bertha's eyes waiting for him.

She would greet him with a smile, give him the slippers, and speak. "You're back, you've worked hard today, are you hungry? I have finished cooking the food."

But he never looked her straight in the eye, facing the hot dishes on the table, he always said a few sarcastic words and then returned to the bedroom.

It was obvious that she tried very hard but couldn't receive praise, but every day that stupid woman continued to repeat these things tirelessly.

Thinking of this, he was dazed and laughed a little.

Tonight he didn't know why, suddenly he wanted to taste the taste of those dishes.

But suddenly in his ears came Bertha's last words before she left the party tonight.

"Having been married for three years, as for you, I have no guilty conscience…"

If she didn't feel guilty on her conscience, then, what happened to Venn?

Feeling that he was always thinking about Bertha's affairs, Derek felt very strange in his heart. He angrily closed the refrigerator, went upstairs to take a shower, and went to bed.
