Mrs. Victoria was happy when her son divorced Bertha. She thought that Bertha didn't know her status, like an orphan, how could she be suitable for her outstanding son.
Derek pursed his lips, his mood a complete contrast to his mother's excitement.
He even felt a little uncomfortable and had an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Previously, he thought that Bertha would not easily agree to a divorce, so he prepared three million dollars and a villa as compensation, but this time she was the one who initiated the divorce, she didn't even ask for a penny in compensation.
After the divorce, she will become a person with no money and no relatives. How will she live in the future?
Derek assumed she was an orphan because she never mentioned her relatives.
He sadly pulled his tie, and Bertha's eyes appeared before him before leaving.
Those eyes were cold as ice.
Many times he treated her poorly, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. But this time... why is she so determined to divorce?
She even pretended to be resilient, not needing a single penny.
Does she think she can survive without money?
He didn't want to care about her life, but he felt a choking feeling in his chest. From beginning to end, there was always an unknown anger, making him very uncomfortable.
Derek called Cadell and said. "Go find Bertha. If you have news about her, let me know immediately." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Bertha went online to find the address of the Angle Group. She directly brought her luggage and called a taxi to go there.
If she has agreed to take over this company, then, she should come find out the situation and then quickly take over.
Arriving at the company lobby, Bertha went to the reception desk and asked. “Inform your current president that I want to meet with him.”
The receptionist's expression froze on the spot, assessing Bertha from top to bottom.
Even though she had a very pretty face, her clothes were ugly. As soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to meet the president. She said it without shame.
"You have an appointment?"
Bertha shook her head. "Do not have."
The receptionist laughed. "Look at yourself. Where do you come from, who do you think you are that you want to meet the president."
Her words made Bertha frown. “Do you usually welcome guests like this?”
The receptionist assessed Bertha again and she was sure that Bertha was not like a noble lady but someone who relied on her face to make money.
“Are you considered a guest? You said you want to meet the president, do you know that the president of our Angle Group is worth more than a hundred million, can a lowly girl like you come close?”
Bertha was very angry. Relying on her value, it's enough to outpace their general manager Angle, really not looking at other people.
Bertha restrained her anger and spoke solemnly. “Connect the call to your superior, and tell him I have arrived, if your superior does not see me, I will bear all the consequences.”
The receptionist still wanted to continue to provoke Bertha, but before she could speak, she was so intimidated by Bertha's cold and sharp eyes that she didn't dare say anything.
"Alright. That's what you said."
The receptionist picked up the phone and called her manager, looking arrogantly towards Bertha.
She couldn't wait to see Bertha being thrown out by security.
However.
The smile on her face froze, she looked towards Bertha, revealing an expression of unbelievable surprise.
Bertha looked at her expression and guessed what the person on the other end of the phone was saying.
She asked, smirking. "Which floor?"
“Floor 27.”
After knowing the exact number, Bertha pushed her luggage and went straight to the elevator.
The receptionist stared at her figure, stunned.
What background does this woman have that can make Alex, the president's special assistant, speak so respectfully?
Could she be the president's lover?
The receptionist quickly spread this news throughout the company.
Bertha reached the rooftop smoothly.
Pushing open the large door of the president's office, the man sitting on the reception sofa stood up and walked towards her.
The man wore a blue suit, exuding arrogance, he looked towards Bertha with a bright smile.
“Kid, long time no see, congratulations on your divorce.”
He said, his voice low and pampering.
"Older brother?"
The corner of Bertha's eyes immediately turned red. She was extremely surprised. She did not expect that the current president of Angle Group was her third brother, Venn.
She almost immediately threw her luggage and ran to hug Venn.
"Older brother. I miss you so much."
She buried her head in Venn's chest.
It's been three years since she saw her brother, and she's still the same spoiled girl as before.
Venn smiled and stroked his sister's hair, he just wanted the best for her.
“This time your return is a good thing, my little princess. Tibble's family bullied you, I will deal with this later.”
Seeing his expression turn cold, she quickly changed the subject.
“Brother, Father, and I signed an agreement, father wants me to make Angle Group increase five times within a year. You must help me." Bertha said.
Venn took her to sit on the sofa and said. “For you, five times is a bit difficult, but Father has ordered me not to help you cheat. I can only help you, and the decision depends on you.”
Bertha's expression immediately became depressed.
Her brother is the man who holds the survival of more than half of the entertainment industry in his hands. If he just waved his hand, it could cause the entertainment industry to stagger.
The entertainment company business under his name also expands overseas.
With just one phone call, he can instantly make the star training company Angle increase tenfold.
But their father thought she would cheat.
Venn saw her miserable face, smiled, pinched her soft cheeks, and said. “Silly sister, it's good that you practice a lot. If you have come then the burden has been lifted from me as interim president.”
"Don't rush to resign." Bertha hurriedly stopped him.
Venn asked suspiciously. "Why?"
Bertha touched her chin, lost in deep thought.
A moment later she winked at Venn. “I have a very attractive offer, please listen.”
Venn looked at her fox-like cunning expression.
An hour later, the two of them reached a consensus.
In less than five minutes, all employees of Angle company quickly received an emergency notification.
The announcement content is that there will soon be a new mysterious business director.
The whole building exploded.
First: a woman suspected of being CEO Venn's lover.
Second: a mysterious CEO will appear.
People are excitedly speculating. Is this new CEO and CEO Venn's lover the same person?
However, they all did not know that they had changed bosses.
Bertha hides her identity.
One: because she had never managed the backstage of the entertainment industry and didn't understand the work process, she needed Venn to help her get through it.
Second: she doesn't understand the company's employees, so she has to silently hide among the employees, becoming everyone's colleague, to help her quickly understand the employees' situation.
At that time, everyone was still talking. Alex went to see Kayla - the receptionist, who despised Bertha, said coldly. "You're fired, pack your things and get out."
"What?"
Kayla was stunned, she felt like she had been thrown into hell.
It's over. She lost her job. Who did she piss off anyway?
Seeming to think of something, her tear-stained face immediately stiffened.
Could it be the woman from before?
Kayla's face immediately became gloomy and unwilling and quickly made a phone call.
Bertha needs to put on makeup and change new clothes because tonight she has to attend a party. The guests are all famous figures in the business world, people from the upper class.

Evening.
In the seven-star luxury hotel in the east of City X, a high-end party is about to start.
In front of the hotel door, the bosses and children of noble families and the upper class were greeting each other.
A Lamborghini car running as fast as the wind suddenly stopped in front of the door.
Derek and Laura slowly got out of the car. The man is noble and serious, with a strong temperament, while the woman is beautiful, gentle, and seductive.
The appearance of the two of them caused the crowd to become excited. They whispered together.
“CEO Derek is so handsome, the girl next to him is very beautiful.”
“Do you think the two of them are a good couple? I'm so jealous.”
"Who is she?"
"Probably CEO Derek's lover. Mr. Derek just got divorced, so he has the right to love another woman."
Mrs. Victoria also supports Laura and Derek's love story. However, Derek did not speak up in this matter.
Feeling the admiring gazes of those women, Laura arrogantly raised her chin.
She believes that Derek will marry her because she has Mrs. Victoria support the rear. At high-class parties like this, she became even more sought after.
Even later, she will become a powerful woman in City X.
“Wow, it's Angle's CEO Venn.”
Laura was feeling proud when suddenly she heard the noise of the crowd.
Just then, she saw a global limited edition Rolls-Royce Dawn car slowly stop.
Venn got off the bus first. With a 1.8-meter physique and long legs, he exuded a full temperament and his body made everyone admire him.
Then everyone saw him smiling, bending down, and reaching out to support the person in the car.
Rumor has it that President Venn has never been around women before, but this time he brought a woman along.
Everyone was curious and scurried to look inside the car.
First, stepping out of the car is a pair of white, slender legs, under their feet is a pair of extremely expensive black diamond-studded high heels, followed by a limited edition black mermaid dress, highlighting The woman's slim figure exquisite, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
By the time the woman raised her head, everyone was extremely surprised.
Her beauty is like a black swan, noble, cold, and forbidden sex.
Laura, who was standing in front of them, had surprise on her face but also horror.
So, Venn's companion is...
"Bertha?"
Hearing someone calling her name, Bertha turned her head to look, there was no expression on her face.
She also predicted that Derek and Laura would appear at this party, but from the moment Derek wanted her to apologize to Laura in the villa, her heart was completely numb.
Now for her, Derek is just her ex-husband, no longer important.
She had a polite smile on her face, took Venn's arm, and walked over to say hello.
Seeing Bertha and Venn walking towards them, except for surprise, Laura unconsciously turned her head to look at Derek beside her.
Derek's eyes were still on Bertha, he was almost shocked, but the color in his eyes was still very dark.
She looked like a different person after a few hours of not seeing her. Her previously wavy black hair was styled in a classic style. A few strands of hair hang loose on her sexy collarbone. It makes her skin look even better and more attractive.
Bertha not only changed her appearance but also seduced another man.
Although it must be said, tonight's Bertha is truly beautiful, so beautiful that it touches people's hearts.
Married for three years, but he didn't know his wife was so beautiful.
Could it be that Venn is her new man?
Just divorced, she found another man, what to do?
Derek felt extremely strange in his heart, his eyes gradually became cold, a sign of upcoming anger.
He glared at Bertha who was walking towards him, waiting for a reasonable explanation from her.
As they approached Derek, Venn and Bertha both stopped, smiled, and shook hands with the man standing next to Derek, completely treating him like air.
This action inherently despises him.
It seems like Venn has a hostile attitude towards him.
Derek's face became darker and darker, and Laura's expression was also unnatural. Just now, she even raised her hand, preparing to say a few provocative words.
But Bertha ignored them, the words she had prepared could not be uttered.
Derek's sister, Rose, also came to the party. She was originally enjoying champagne in the hall, heard a disturbance in front of the door, and walked towards them.
Rose approached Laura, gently placed her hand on the other's shoulder, and asked. “Sister Laura, why did that bitch come here?”
Laura's eyes lit up and she spoke softly. "She found a new support, so she came in here."
Rose's face gradually turned pale. Her indignant gaze turned towards Bertha, who was following Venn to pay a courtesy call. "Just a few days after the divorce, she found another man and took her to this high-class place. She acted as fast as firing a rocket."
“This bitch. Eighty percent of people have seduced others before getting divorced. If you dare to have an affair behind my brother's back, I will tear her face off."
Rose immediately walked towards Bertha. Laura pretended to stop him but couldn't. Then, Rose arrogantly raised her face and cleared her throat.
"Hey."
Venn turned his head, that handsome face momentarily made Rose stunned.
Does City X have a man as handsome as her brother?
In an instant, Rose's jealousy and anger towards Bertha became even greater.
“Who are you?” Venn coldly glanced at her.
Bertha smiled, whispering in his ear. "She is my ex-sister-in-law, the most arrogant and stubborn person in the Tibble family."
Hearing Bertha's words, Venn's expression became even colder.
Although Bertha spoke softly, Rose heard it very clearly, the intimate action between the two of them stimulated her nerves even more.
Because Venn was in front of her, Rose retracted the fierceness on her face, she showed an admonishing look, and her voice deliberately became sharp.
“Don't let this woman deceive you, she was already married. Furthermore, she comes from a lowly background, has a cruel heart, she previously had an ambiguous relationship with my father, she..."
The slap cut off Rose's words.
The whole banquet room suddenly became quiet.
Rose cupped one of her cheeks and looked at Bertha. She couldn't believe it and her eyes widened.
“You dare hit me?”
Bertha's delicate eyes looked at Rose contemptuously.
When she was in the Tibble family, she tried to please them even to the point of lowering her self-worth. Now, she is divorced, and she has nothing to do with them.
Bertha wiped her hands. Then he threw Rose a look of contempt.
"Yes. I hit you because your mouth was so vile."
Bertha rubbed her palm, a sarcastic smile curled her lips. “It seems like the Tibble family is not good at raising children, raising a daughter who only knows how to talk nonsense.”
"Is there a rule that if you're married, you can't attend the party? Isn't your brother also married? What you said just now is slander and insult me, I can sue you."
"You..."
Rose is always pampered. So, she had never heard such words before and was slapped in front of everyone. She immediately blushed in embarrassment and was about to raise her hand to slap Bertha.
But Venn quickly held her hand and squeezed Rose's hand, causing the person to cry in pain.
Derek sat quietly next to him, his eyes gradually darkening. He had never noticed Bertha's determination and boldness before.
Rose initially wanted to threaten and provoke Bertha, but in the end, she slapped her. She was completely stunned by the result. She then stared at Bertha in disbelief. She couldn't understand what this wild country girl was capable of, daring to slap her.
Derek frowned, his dark eyes glancing at Rose. “How long do you want to cause trouble? Please apologize."
Rose immediately became as defensive as a furry cat when she heard what Derek said. She groaned. "Older brother. She hit me, why did you..."
Derek's face turned completely black, warning her. "Shut up. I have eyes, I know who is wrong and who is right. I repeat, please apologize to her."
Rose was always afraid of her brother, but she was very angry. She wanted to argue, but Laura hugged her shoulder and whispered. "Rose, your brother is really angry. He only wants the best for you. Anyway, you can't let Bertha sue you. We are wise people, don't let small things affect big things."
Under Laura's comfort, Rose's emotions stabilized, and she spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito. "Sorry."
Then, with an embarrassed face, she ran away.
Laura gave Derek a look to reassure him, then she immediately chased after him.
A joke that seems to have been resolved.
Although everyone was curious because of Rose's words just now, they knew clearly that whether it was Venn or Derek, they were not easy to deal with.
Therefore, the entire banquet room restored its original atmosphere, no one dared to discuss what happened just now.
Bertha glanced at Derek, her smile gradually fading. She decided to forgive Rose.
Venn looked in the direction Rose left, frowning and asking his sister. “You want to ignore her? Do you need me to find someone to teach her a lesson and help you vent your anger?”
Bertha laughed, gently pushing his shoulder. "Do not need. I wasn't angry at all, moreover, I had already slapped her. Looks like I won."
Venn. “…”
He suddenly felt that his little princess was very brave.
Derek was not focused when greeting the guests. From beginning to end, his eyes looked towards Bertha. Seeing her talking and laughing happily with Venn, he suddenly felt unhappy.
He also didn't know why he was unhappy, perhaps because this was the first time he felt like he was being played with by a woman.
Ten minutes later, Laura led Rose back to the banquet room.
It seemed that Rose had reapplied her makeup, hiding the traces of the slap on her left cheek.
She silently followed Laura, standing behind Derek, extremely obedient.
It's just that occasionally she would glance at Bertha with evil eyes, who was shining in the crowd. Rose is the young lady of the Tibble family. Everyone always treated her politely, but Bertha dared to take action against her. She had never been this embarrassed in her entire life.
The party entered the middle, started dancing, and everyone swayed to the music.
Laura was also very excited, she looked at Derek expectantly, waiting for him to take her arm and invite her to dance.
Derek stood up.
The excitement in Laura's eyes became even more intense, she seemed to have seen the scene of her becoming the focus on the dance floor.
But a second later.
Derek picked up a glass of red wine and walked towards another table.
Bertha listened to the melodious music on the dance floor while enjoying the chocolate mousse cake on the table.
Suddenly, a large man's hand entered her sight.
“Girl, I wonder if I could have the honor of asking you for a dance?”
She raised her head, looked at his hand, and then looked up at Derek's cold and serious face that had not changed for thousands of years. Suddenly she no longer had any appetite.
While four eyes looked at each other.
Derek's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This was the first time he seriously observed Bertha's face at such a close distance. He discovered that every part of her face was perfect, and her white skin made her even more attractive. she became beautiful.
