Chapter 141
Derek looked up, his eyes looking straight at her.
"In the past, you loved me so much that you gave up everything for me, but I didn't appreciate it at all. Now I finally understand my heart. I've been with you for a while. I realized then how miserable you were.”
He paused for a moment, his eyes filled with pleading. "Bertha, I know it's too late to say these things. Before, I said things that hurt you. From now on, you can scold me every day, and vent your anger on me, and I won't resent you. I owe you, even if it's just a sentence, I will pay you back. Can you give me one last chance, okay?"
Every day, he cursed and vented his anger at him.
His brain is truly broken.
Bertha was cold, the first time she said the words in her heart to him. "Originally, after the divorce, I just wanted to treat you as a stranger in the future, but your mother, your sister, and your fiancée provoked me time and time again. You sent Cadell to find Laura, to kill me, why should I give you one last chance?"
Derek's eyes were a little surprised. “Wait, what did you say.”
Did he send Cadell to kill her? When?
Bertha didn't pay attention to his reaction, she continued speaking.
"Now in my eyes, you are just a maid. Wait until the one-year contract ends, I will ignore you forever, and the debt between us will no longer exist. From now on, we will never meet again."
Derek's eyes flashed with joy. "What you mean is that as long as I pay off all my debt in one year then we can be like before, I have a chance to start over with you, right?"
Bertha smiled coldly.
"I honestly don't know why you pretend to love me to the core like that. On the day you and I signed the divorce papers, you used up all your opportunities. Now you're acting so deep in front of me so sharply, don't you find it funny?”
Having finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.
"Don't go."
Derek reached out to grab her hand again, he was pulled to the ground by her.
A strong noise rang out.
Derek was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word. It took a few seconds for him to look up at her.
"You in Tibble's family endured three years, married me for three years, but I hurt you so much. It's my fault, I regret it very much. You may not forgive me but I don't send Cadell killed you. I swear."
Bertha smiled coldly, lately he was always acting in front of her, pretending.
"I don't care about those things anymore."
She finished speaking and pushed Derek's hand away.
Before leaving, she also threatened him. "Please be obedient at the hospital for treatment. If you refuse to eat, take medicine, or have injections, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Bertha had just left when someone pretending to be a doctor entered the hospital room.
Seeing Derek sitting on the ground, the needle falling out, the man quickly went to help him up.
"Boss, it's me."
The man took off his mask, it was Liam.
The moment Derek saw Liam, his face suddenly became extremely dark, and anger spread throughout his body. "You should investigate everything about Cadell."
Compared to Cadell's story, Liam feels even more sorry for him.
Derek was forced to take drugs by Bertha and then locked in the basement to torture him. Liam knew this very well.
"Boss, I haven't seen you in just a few days and you've been mistreated so miserably, or should we go back? We won't be in X city to suffer anymore."
Derek was once again helped by Liam to the bed, his face was pale, the ferocity gradually disappearing. "Okay, then you stay in city X to help me pursue my wife, I will return immediately."
Liam was speechless. Bertha is a woman who is not easily bullied. Her personality is hot-tempered and strong, and her actions are also cruel.
He can't do it.
Liam was quiet for a moment then smiled flatteringly. "So boss, just slowly pursue her, wait until you're tired, then continue talking."
"Um."
Derek restored his usual cold expression, his eyeballs slightly shrinking. "I don't care what method you use, you must force Cadell to tell everything. A traitor like him, you should know how to handle it."
"Yes, you can rest assured."
After Liam and he finished talking, Liam pressed the bell at the bedside for the nurse to come change Derek's IV.
This time, Derek didn't refuse anymore.
Originally, when he woke up, he didn't see Bertha, and he was in a bad mood. But now Bertha had talked to him, so he listened to her and obediently recuperated.
—
Because Cadell's appearance is quite handsome and his figure is also good, the people in the city's men's prison like him.
Compared to Laura's situation, except for having to suffer every night when going to the bathroom, the rest, Cadell's experience was quite peaceful, he was not starved or slept in the park, nor was he beaten.
But he did not expect that his peaceful days were about to end.
The program to select members for the group "Butterfly Girls" founded by Angel company is also nearing its end.
For the last recording, Bertha chose a rather novel method. In addition to inviting a thousand lucky spectators to have the opportunity to enjoy the performance performed by the girls, there were also two tickets with special functions. Furthermore, she also live-streamed the performance on social networks so that the audience could watch this final so that the girls could have more votes.
There are ten minutes left until the final show takes place.
Bertha stood behind the scenes observing. She was a bit nervous. After all, this was the first time she independently organized a large member recruitment program like this. If it could be successful, the market would be happy. Angel company's stock will increase by up to three points.
The performance officially began, the twenty girls in the final round went out onto the stage in order, and below, the audience's screams continuously rang out.
During the tense moment, the host announced the most important guest of today's show. "We would like to invite a very influential guest in the showbiz world to come on stage, Kirjani."
The female fans below cheered loudly, and the female trainees standing on stage were equally excited.
Kirjani was surrounded by the crazy screams of fans, his handsome appearance shining brightly. As soon as he appeared, he immediately captured everyone's attention.
But everyone sees that Kirjani is not in a position for a coach.
