Chapter 8
Receiving the confirmation message, Bertha leisurely sat down on the stone pedestal next to the fountain.
Rose saw Bertha ignoring her and was a little angry. “Hey. Did you hear what I said?”
Bertha lazily rubbed her shoulders. "Wait a minute."
"Wait?"
Rose frowned. "What are you waiting for? I know you have Venn now, but he's just playing with you. You think that men are handsome, have a lot of money, and have a good family like Venn. Will agree to marry me?
While she was still seducing, Alex arrived, carrying a black trunk in his hand, bowing respectfully to hand it to Bertha.
“This is what you want.”
Rose looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared, her face immediately turned confused.
Bertha stood up and accepted the chest that Alex brought, the second time she looked towards Rose, her eyes flashed coldly, and her mouth curled into a smile.
“You talked so much just now, now it's my turn to talk.”
Rose looked at Vertha's smile, her face became even more confused.
Bertha opened the chest, picked up a wad of money, and threw it at Rose's face.
Before Rose could react, she saw something coming, her face suddenly felt pain, and then the entire chest of money collapsed on her head, flying from the top of her head, and falling all over the ground.
She rolled her eyes.
Bertha laughed. “This is one million dollars. As long as you voluntarily remove your name from Tibble's family's household registration, this money is yours. How? Do you feel the vibration? This time, I increased the amount many times compared to the number you gave.”
"You..."
Rose was so angry that she was panting, her eyes were red, and this bitch dared to hit her in the face with money and even mocked her.
"You're the kind of toy that men play with and then throw away. Damn it. I'll have to tear your face off.”
She gritted her teeth and rushed forward fiercely.
Alex quickly stood in front of Bertha, but he was pushed away by Bertha.
With nothing left to stop, Rose reached out to grab Bertha's hair, but before she could do anything, her wrist was quickly grabbed by Bertha, who forcefully bent Rose's hand behind her back.
Rose didn't mind, she raised her other hand to hit Bertha's face but was still caught by her, Rose's hands were twisted behind her back, unable to move.
The whole process was without any mistakes.
Bertha acted quickly, cleanly, and neatly, her face remained strangely calm and indifferent.
Children and grandchildren of Griselda's family began bodybuilding training at a young age. Because Bertha was female and not as physically strong as her two older brothers, their father deliberately chose Gracie's jiu-jitsu for her to learn.
At 12 years old, she was wearing Gracie's black jiu-jitsu bandage. Over the past few years, she has been soft on Tibble's family, so she hasn't had a chance to show off her skills.
Rose thinks that Bertha is weak and weak so she can bully Bertha, right?
Rose suddenly realized that she had been controlled in an instant. She simply could not accept this fact. She frantically let out shrill screams, screaming more and more ferociously.
"Bitch. I will kill you. I must grind you into ashes. Bitch, you only know how to seduce men."
The more Rose scolded, the more enthusiastic she became, saying extremely unpleasant words.
Bertha frowned. “It looks like your mouth should be cleaned.”
Having finished speaking, her eyes suddenly became cruel. She stood behind Rose, one hand holding her hands tightly, the other hand holding the back of her neck, and lifted her face from the fountain.
Rose struggled, but the back of her neck was still squeezed by Bertha.
She felt quite surprised, when did Bertha with her small figure have such strong strength?
Water from the fountain splashed everywhere on Rose's face. The more she struggled, the more water splashed into her nose. She choked and coughed, almost fainting.
Bertha saw that Rose's arrogance was gone. She was about to let go when suddenly a loud voice came from behind.
"Stop."
Bertha turned her head, facing Derek's angry black eyes.
She let go, Rose sat weakly on the ground, and Laura quickly ran towards her. Both girls sat on the ground.
At this time, Rose's makeup was messed up, her hair was wet, her black eyeliner was smudged, she looked ugly like a chicken jumping into a mud puddle, and she kept coughing, this situation looked very pathetic.
On the contrary, Bertha held her hand with a cold expression, her makeup and hairstyle were not messy at all, still noble and cold.
Because of the shrill scream, there were many people in the flower garden at this moment.
Looking at the money falling all over the ground, everyone was shocked. Many people were quietly picking up money on the ground.
Out of compassion for the weak, everyone agreed that Bertha bullied others. Their eyes simultaneously looked toward her, seemingly wanting her to explain.
Derek is no exception.
\---
Bertha raised her head high, her eyes directed towards Rose on the ground.
"You should ask yourself, Rose."
Now Rose was still coughing, her face was red, she pointed at Bertha indignantly but was speechless.
Seeing this situation, Laura looked at Bertha in disappointment and said sadly. "Bertha, anyway, in the past, Rose was also your sister-in-law. Just now at the hotel door, she didn't speak pleasantly, but she also apologized, why did you take revenge on her like that? So?"
"She's still young. You were very honest before. Why have you become like that now?"
With Laura's words, everyone thought that Bertha intentionally took revenge on Rose.
Rose also nodded continuously while coughing and crying extremely pitifully.
Everyone began to whisper, that the victim was the young lady of Tibble's family, and the advantage would be in Rose's favor, everyone denounced Bertha.
Derek didn't show any attitude, still looking at Bertha with heavy eyes.
Bertha was stared at by him. She felt uncomfortable and asked with a cold smile. "What is your sister's temperament? You are the one who knows best. Do you also feel that I am deliberately taking revenge on her?
He pursed his lips tightly, still saying nothing, his expression a bit reserved.
Bertha immediately laughed sarcastically, feeling that her question was very unrealistic. Would Derek ever believe her?
But regardless of whether he believed it or not, she felt lazy to explain.
He looked intently at Bertha, his expression cold. "In the end what happened?"
