Chapter 133
"Mr. Derek, Mrs. Victoria fell down the stairs. She said she wanted to see you. Please follow me to the car."
Mrs. Victoria fell?
Why is that?
"Okay."
Derek looked through the window and saw the other three people happily talking and laughing, his dark eyes contained complicated thoughts, then he immediately followed Tommy back home.
—
Mrs. Victoria was taken to the hospital, her leg was in a plaster cast and she was lying on the bed looking dejected.
Hearing the door open, she looked up, and seeing that it was the boy she had always been waiting for, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Derek, I almost thought for the rest of my life I would never see you again..."
Derek only lightly touched Mrs. Victoria's leg, which was in a cast, but she immediately shouted.
Seeing her fake reaction, Derek walked over to the chair next to the bed and sat down.
"Why did you fall down the stairs?"
Mrs. Victoria was upset. She was about to explain when she saw Tommy standing behind Derek. "Dude, I haven't seen my son in a while. I want to talk to him privately, okay?"
Tommy didn't move.
Derek turned around and spoke to the bodyguard. "Don't worry, I won't make you feel awkward, I'm just confiding in my mother."
Because Tommy was the one who observed the battle last time.
Despite Derek's status as Bertha's servant, Tommy still admired Derek's integrity, so he walked out.
As soon as Tommy left, Derek asked. "Tell me, Mom, what is your injury? I don't think it's serious enough for you to scream like that."
Mrs. Victoria laughed.
"I accidentally slipped and fell down the stairs, but it was a low staircase, not serious. But if it weren't for this, how could I meet you as I wanted."
"But why do you make people think you fell so hard?"
Mrs. Victoria smiled mysteriously, then leaned close to his ear and whispered. "Of course, I have my way, but it doesn't matter. Son, what I told you last time, how are you progressing?"
Derek frowned. "What is that?"
Mrs. Victoria gently pressed his forehead with her finger.
She rolled her eyes and looked outside the door, then spoke in a low voice. "Let's get Bertha pregnant."
Derek's expression darkened, and his dark eyes quickly lowered.
"Impossible. I don't want you to mention this, nor can you say this to anyone."
Mrs. Victoria is depressed.
According to the current situation, if Bertha cannot be defeated, their family will probably be servants for life. During this time, she had endured enough humiliation. She must find a way to redeem the company and the house as soon as possible.
As for this stupid, slow-minded boy, he could only wait for her help.
"Okay, I won't mention this anymore."
She smiled and agreed with him. After rolling her eyes, she picked up the glass of water on the table and pretended to take a sip.
When she put the glass of water back in its original position, she pretended to slip and accidentally spilled the water on Derek.
“I didn't mean it, son, I just accidentally slipped my hand, let me clean your shirt for you.” She said as she gently patted the drops of water on Derek's body. While Derek was busy wiping the water stains, she quickly stuffed two small bags into his pants pockets.
Derek's white shirt got dirtier the more he wiped it. He was worried that she would notice the wound on his back. He got up and went to the bathroom.
Suddenly, he heard the familiar sound of birds singing.
It's Liam.
Derek's expression turned serious, he began to think of a way to meet Liam.
Bertha only sent Tommy after him this time, was it because she let her guard down with him? Or was it simply because she was busy eating with Venn and Noa and didn't have time to make arrangements?
Regardless, this is a good opportunity.
When he walked out of the bathroom, coincidentally, the door had just opened.
The man came in, dressed in a maid's outfit, he carefully closed the door.
When he lifted his head, it was Liam.
“Boss, just now I beat Bertha's bodyguard and made him unconscious, but that bodyguard is very strong, he will wake up soon. Let's talk briefly.”
Liam spoke very softly, his expression cautious.
“Son, who is at the door?” Mrs. Victoria heard a noise so she sat up and looked towards the door.
Derek blocked her view and then gave her serious instructions. “Mom, I have to return to the villa by the sea. Remember what I said earlier."
"I know."
Mrs. Victoria was a bit uncomfortable, but thinking about her plan, she smiled and waved at him. “You go.”
Derek didn't notice her strange behavior, he and Liam went out together to the terrace and talked.
Liam started talking. “Boss, I investigated and learned that. Griselda's house has four children including three boys and a girl. This girl is the youngest daughter of their family. But I don't know if she is Bertha, because she lives very secretly, no one knows her face or age.
Derek frowned.
He asks. “Can I find a photo of this girl in the database?”
"Are not. This girl does not use social networks. The articles written about Griselda's house also do not have any photos of her. I think only people close to her know about her.”
Derek pursed his lips in thought. Would he have to ask Venn? There was no way Venn would reveal information about his sister to Derek. Furthermore, Venn hates him at this moment.
Liam saw his boss and didn't say anything, he said. “Do you think Miss. Bertha is the youngest daughter of Griselda's house?”
“Even though I can't be completely sure, I feel like it's her.”
Derek's deep black eyes shone brightly when he said these words.
He was pleased in his heart.
Venn rubbed her calves, Venn blew into her palm when she was injured, and she even cooed at him.
All of these are feelings between brother and sister.
Yet before he suspected her of having an affair while married, now thinking back, he regrets it.
