Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

She was about to leave but was stopped by Rose's close friends.

"Stop. You hit someone and then want to run away? There's no such thing as that simple."

"If you don't explain today, you should never step out of this door."

Bertha looked at the girls contemptuously. She was about to return when she saw Venn push the crowd away and come in front of her.

The other girls' eyes lit up when they saw Venn, adding fuel to the fire.

"Venn, this time you saw it, this woman is extremely cruel, bad, and bad."

"That's right, Venn, you must get justice for Rose. Also, how is this kind of woman suitable for someone like you?"

Venn's face showed no emotion, he slowly took off his jacket.

The girls watched in fascination as Venn gently put the shirt on Bertha's body, his eyes still as doting as before.

"It's late at night, don't catch a cold."

The sounds that were unfriendly to Bertha suddenly stopped.

The girls looked jealous, wishing they could kill Bertha with their eyes.

Venn paid them no attention, embracing Bertha's shoulders. "It's late, let's go back."

Bertha nodded.

As soon as the two of them turned around, Laura's disgruntled voice was heard behind them.

"Venn, it's undeniable that she bullied Rose. Do you want to protect her?"

Venn turned his head, his eyes facing Derek. "Bertha never takes the initiative to cause trouble, unless someone teases her. Derek, if you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras, or should we go to the police station together to investigate who is right and who is wrong?

Derek is angry when he sees Venn being intimate with Bertha.

Looking at how familiar these two people are, could it be that they knew each other before he and Bertha got married?

He clenched his fists, his eyes looked at the small Bertha in Venn's arms, his voice was very serious. "Are you sorry for me?"

The crowd suddenly stirred.

Derek's words were a bit bitter.

Bertha seemed to be listening to an interesting joke, she turned her head to look at him.

"Having been married for three years, I haven't done anything wrong on my conscience. I should ask you this question." She said, her face showing sarcasm, she looked towards Laura who was holding Rose on the ground.

She then immediately left the hotel with Venn.

Now the crowd is exploding.

---

There are rumors that Derek has a wife that hasn't been announced for three years. They just divorced. Didn't expect that woman to be the girlfriend that Venn brought to the party?

Everyone's eyes looking towards Laura changed in an instant.

Laura was a little panicked, not expecting her to pick up the rock and hit her foot.

Now, everyone is doubting whether she is the third person or not.

Derek's assistant - Cadell - proactively stood up to clean up the mess and explain to everyone.

"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Derek and Miss Bertha are divorced, and his relationship with Miss Laura is just friends. Today's story hopes everyone will save face for Tibble's family, don't say anything."

After overcoming the consequences, the crowd finally dispersed.

Rose regained some strength, she stood up from the ground, clutching Derek's shirt.

Her thick dark circles looked very funny, but she still gritted her teeth unwillingly. "Brother, in this matter, you have to help me, she is bullying me, she is embarrassing Tibble's family in front of everyone, you must teach her a lifelong lesson."

Laura added. "Derek, Rose has suffered a lot tonight, what are you planning to do now on Bertha's side?"

Derek's eyes were quite heavy, he glanced at the two of them in turn.

"If you insist that Bertha bullied you, then first go look at the surveillance cameras."

After saying these words full of anger, he lifted his feet and left first.

A bit of confusion appeared on Rose's face, and she instinctively looked toward the camera on the streetlight pole in the flower garden.

Considering that the camera could also see her being bullied, it shouldn't be a big deal.

At this time, she followed Derek's footsteps along with Laura.

Before leaving, Bertha deliberately told the hotel manager that, until Derek appeared, the manager would lead them into the surveillance room. Before leaving, he even caught a glimpse of Rose's stunned face.

In the surveillance room.

The video is on and is played every second.

Rose couldn't believe that the hotel camera could record audio.

She heard herself cursing in the surveillance video, along with her unsuccessfully taking action first and then being controlled by Bertha in return, her face became increasingly pale.

Derek's face was terrifyingly dark, a sign of upcoming anger.

Rose glanced at her brother's expression, completely surprised.

"Brother, please listen to my explanation."

Derek didn't ignore her, turned around, and left.

"Older brother."

She chased after her, still feeling dissatisfied. "I spoke a bit harshly, but I didn't mean anything bad. You see, she pushed my head into the fountain, I hadn't even touched her finger yet."

Derek's face turned pale.

"Rose, other people don't know, but I know you best. What purpose you pretend to give her money for is clearest in your heart."

Suddenly Rose's small face turned white and she cried. "I just want to teach her a bit. I can't stand it when she clings to you while seducing other men. I'm just angry on your behalf."

Derek was quiet, silent, his eyes looked a bit dark and unclear.

Rose thought he was wavering, she was secretly happy and continued.

"Look, Venn is very intimate with her, they must have had sex while she was living with you.

You should give this kind of despicable woman a lesson."

She paused for a moment then continued speaking. "Or let's take advantage of this to delete the sound in the surveillance video, post this video on the internet, and in the blink of an eye, she will be cursed by thousands of people, and her dignity will be lost, what do you think?
