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.
It turns out his ex-wife is really that beautiful.
Especially the eyes, like containing stars, transparent and steadfast, but also hiding a bit of stubbornness.
Derek suddenly looked dumbfounded.
These eyes gave him the illusion of knowing each other.
While Derek was stunned, Bertha suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with coldness and contempt. “It's so embarrassing, you're not qualified to dance with me.” Then, she elegantly adjusted her outfit.
Other people passing by, hearing Bertha's words, whispered to each other.
"This girl is too arrogant. She dares to tell City X's number one CEO Derek that he is not qualified?"
Derek's face quickly turned dark, the familiar feeling from before was completely thrown to hell by Bertha's words.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Bertha would turn out like this.
His hand still outstretched, he replied. “It's just a dance, aren't you scared?”
Bertha's gaze also became cold. Why is this man so vile? He didn't understand what she said.
Bertha looked at Derek coldly and said nothing more.
Their eyes looked at each other, silently emitting the smell of gunpowder.
Seeing the atmosphere getting hotter, Venn smiled and stood up.
“Bertha is my female companion, why do you have to take my person.”
Venn pushed Derek's hand away, his eyes glanced at Laura standing next to him. “You should ask your girlfriend to dance, don't make her jealous.”
Derek still stood there, not moving.
Bertha was a bit upset, she said something to Venn and then left the main banquet room, she went to the restaurant's flower garden to relax.
Derek wanted to follow, but Venn pulled his hand back to greet the other Presidents, making it impossible for him to leave.
Although Laura and Rose at the next table couldn't hear what they were saying, the two girls saw Derek and Bertha looking at each other affectionately.
Rose was angry, looking at Bertha's back. “This bitch. She's divorced and still clinging to my brother."
Laura was so angry that her face turned red. “Maybe Bertha… likes Derek. If he also has feelings for her, I will withdraw."
Having finished speaking, she sobbed.
Rose suddenly became panicked.
“No way, Laura. Why do you want to withdraw? I just accept you as my sister-in-law. That vile woman, I hate her to death. As long as I'm here, she'll never enter Tibble's door."
Not only did Laura not stop crying, but she also became even more angry, her pitiful appearance looked extremely helpless.
“Rose, but I… what else can I do…”
Rose glanced at Laura, then looked back at Bertha as she left. She thought for a moment, then suddenly she had a thought.
“Sister Laura, you just leave this matter for me to handle, I will make that bitch no longer qualified to compete with you.”
“Rose, what are you going to do?”
Rose came close to Laura's ear and said a few words.
Laura's eyes were simple. “Is that… okay?”
“You just wait to see good drama.”
Having finished speaking, Rose's face showed an evil smile, she stood up and walked towards the flower garden.
After she left, Laura regained the resentment on her face, her eyes flashing with a smug look.
Rose is an idiot but it works for her. Laura just said a few words, Rose fell into her trap.
'I hope she doesn't disappoint me.' Laura thought to herself.
—
In the garden.
Bertha crossed her arms and stood next to the fountain breathing in the fresh air.
If she didn't go outside to breathe, she would be stunned by the bustling atmosphere in the banquet room. Because she just likes quiet space.
“Bertha!”
Behind her suddenly came a sharp voice.
She turned her head and saw Rose strutting towards her.
"Haven't you been beaten enough? Or do you want me to beat you again?" She said coldly.
Rose went crazy, wanting to pull Bertha's hair, but thinking of her plan, she had to clench her palms, trying to control her anger.
She took out a bank card from LV bag, brought it in front of Bertha, and said in an alms tone.
"There are thirty thousand dollars in here. As long as you agree to never appear in front of my brother again, and from now on leave X city and never return, this amount is yours."
Bertha frowned, looking at the bank card in her hand with a strange expression.
With only 30 thousand dollars, you can't even buy a pair of Bertha, but you want to force her to leave City X?
Rose looked at Bertha's expression, she thought that Bertha had wavered, so she was even more pleased.
"What's wrong? You've seen so much money before, right? But this money to me is just pocket money for a week, I think you'll need it."
"I remember that you used to borrow money from my mother. Unfortunately, my mother didn't let you borrow money, but now it's good. With this money, you can buy anything you want."
"What's up? You like it, right?"
Rose's eyes flashed with excitement, she kept whispering in her heart. 'Quickly receive the money. Come here and get the money.'
Her face clearly showed confidence. Previously, when at Tibble's family, Mrs. Victoria cut off all of Bertha's allowance. Over the past few years, Bertha has been in Tibble's family, and she hasn't been able to buy even a decent set of designer clothes.
So Rose was sure that as poor as Bertha was, she definitely wouldn't be able to refuse her.
As long as Bertha receives her money before the party ends, she will say that her money was stolen and blame Bertha, then she will call the police to arrest Bertha.
Once Bertha is taken to prison, Rose bribes the guards in prison, beats Bertha, and leaves her with a reputation as a thief, so that for the rest of her life, Bertha will never be able to recover.
Thinking of this plan, the excitement in Rose's eyes was almost no longer able to be hidden.
"Take the money, what happened just now, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, but this time I'll be honest, if you're so short on money, just take it."
Bertha tilted her head to assess Rose, taking all of her expression into her eyes, shaking her head sarcastically.
Then she immediately opened her phone and sent a text message to Alex, Venn's special assistant.
The black card is in my bag in the car, please help me go to the bank to withdraw one million dollars and bring it here, I'm in the flower garden, act quickly.
Almost two seconds later, the other person immediately responded.
I know. I'll be there in two minutes.
