Divorce agreement! That's what the fuss was all about? His hand coiled into a fist, wrinkling the paper. Then the door was open and Rita sat in the car. Rudely, Liam grabbed at her shirt and dragged her to his face, gazing at her. "This is what you want me to talk about?" He waved the paper in his hand, his eyes cold like a sharp knife. Rita was a little terror-struck. "Right." She answered, nodding. "Say it again!" suddenly, Liam's face was extremely dark. The atmosphere in the small space of the car froze. At that moment, Rita felt suffocated. "Liam." Confronting him, Rita mustered the courage to open her mouth. "If you are worrying that grandpa might not be able to accept the new. Sign the agreement first and I promise that I won't tell him and pretend that we're still married in front of him." Liam kept his dark face, no word. Rita took his silence as consent. "No worries. We need each other's help after all. I will honor our deal for my parents, if it's not for me."
A man wearing a pair of glasses walked when Liam's mind drifted. "Sorry, I'm late." He said with a smile, "I was caught up in a traffic jam." "You finally came!" Jacob started to complain to the man about Liam's "atrocity" like a pupil who just got bullied. Edison took a glance over Liam after Jacob told him the whole story. His eyebrows wrinkled. "Liam, you're becoming somebody else. You aren't the Liam I used to know anymore." Liam was no longer a man who acted resolutely. Instead, he now appeared to be rather pusillanimous. Liam said nothing but took another shot. "Liam... is this admission?" gazing at Liam, Jacob's eyes were wide in shock. Still, Liam said nothing but kept drinking. Damn! He admitted! "Holy shit... Liam's in love with Rita." He loved her, loved, not liked. They're totally two different notions. Liam's cold eyes met Jacob when he was still in shock of Liam's change. "What are you saying?" Damn, I said it out? Jacob thought. He couldn't take it back
"The remitter was Rita." The answer covered Liam's face with a layer of frozen ice. "Are you sure?" "Yes. We even found the surveillance tape of Rita remitting at the bank." "Send me the video." "Yes." He hung up, is face livid. The remitter was Rita? That's the last outcome he would expect. With a plinking sound, a message popped up on his phone. Liam put the car in neutral and clicked on the video. When he's done watching the clip, he looked so dreadful that as if he was going to kill someone. He dialed a number. "Jacob, I'll send you a video. I need you to find out whether it's been edited. Hit me back in ten minutes and tell me the result." "No. don't hang up, I want to know immediately." "Yeah... alright." Jacob was still drinking, the sudden call and Liam's cold voice gave him a pause. Then he put down his wine hurriedly and dashed upstairs to the third floor of the bar. It was one of Jacob's stomping grounds. He turned on the computer and start authenticating t
Next day.The air was fresh with the smell of soil after therain.Rita took a sniff of the fresh air as she opened her eyes and purged herself of the depression she had the day before.Suddenly, she felt a hand tightened at her waist.It freaked her.When she turned to see the man lying beside her, she was so shocked that her body foroze for a moment.Liam Wilson!!Fear flared and filled her.

There's no longer coldness on his face.Sunlight shed down through the window and stroked his face. He seemed to feel the warmth and lifted the corners of his mouth.The smile added a hint of peace into him.He didn't seem to be so scary when h
A week later, after a week of judging all the entries by the Internet and the examiners, 15 winning works were finally selected. In order to create an atmosphere, the organizers finally invited the top 30 finalists and people from all walks of life to participate in the evening of the design competition to announce the award.At six p. m., a car pulled up on the red carpet.The door opened and a pair of silver high heels stepped on the carpet. Then up were spindly and white legs. In a silky black dress, the legs were more white and delicate.The onlookers were stunned. Looking at the woman in the black dress, people were amazed and even the photographer forgot to take a picture."What are you waiting for? Take pictures!" At the editor's urging, the photographer quickly focused on the woman, who was like coming out of the painting, pressing the shutter."Who is she? She is not inferior to those online celebrity with a huge fan base!" "I don't know." "I don't know either."The crowd sho
'The winner of the design competition isBrown... Rita Brown!!! His proud smile suddenly froze, and his brain was blank. He did a double take."Duke?" "Duke." It was only when Ritas voice was heard again that he suddenly regained his mind. Then he ran into Rita's smiling eyes."Duke, please call me when you are live." "!" His heart did a flip and his face took on a ghastly expression.Seeing her beautiful smile, his irritated eyes were red and he roared, "No, it's impossible, it's impossible! The host must have misread the name. Yes, the host must have misread the name!""Yes, yes, the host must have it misread." Even the tutor on one side also just caught on, repeatedly saying. Charlotte, who did not spoke all the time, looking at the host hopefully. At the moment, her whole body tensed.For a moment, there seemed to be no sound around. Her eyes were fixed on the host. "It's the wrong name. It must be the wrong name! How can the cripple be number one! No Way!'"Rita Brown, please com
In the light, Rita was enveloped in the shadow of Liam. At that moment, she was not afraid, but surprised at the man in front of her. Her mind went blank. 'Did Liam block the mineral water bottle for her? He's... He's helping her!'The bottle of mineral water hit the man onthe back with a clunk. It sounded very painful, but there was no change on his cold face. He just looked at the woman in his arms coolly.Something imperceptible flickered in his eyes."Are you okay?" Suddenly he spoke. Rita just came to her sense. She forced herself to take her eyes back from his face. "Yes..."Making sure she was okay, Liam let go of her. He turned, and the dark eyes swept to the crowd.Suddenly, a strong sense of pressure came. Those who had just been clamoring for Rita to get out, suddenly became silent. None of them dared to be reckless again. They were afraid that the man on the stage who ate people without blinking would smash their bones, with nothing left."What proof do you have that my
Liam's words caused an uproar in the whole venue. Plagiarize! Charlotte was alleged to plagiarize!The media originally aimed at Rita. In a flash, they turned to Charlotte on the seat. Facing the cameras, her brain was going to explode. She was very anxious.Soon she began crying. "Liam, I know you want to protect Rita from being attacked. But you can't slander me for helping Rita." As soon as she cried, she dumped the problem on Rita again.Therefore, Liams remark saying that she plagiarized, which turned into making her the scapegoat for Rita. Liam was surprised at her skill of reversing the adverse trend in a few words. She was not as fragile as her delicate appearance. But she was very shrewd and ruthless.He looked at Rita and whispered, "No wonder you hate her. This woman is really not simple." Rita looked down in silence, but she agreed.Indeed, Charlotte was not simple.However, unfortunately, only when she was badly framed by Charlotte, she would figure it out. Distracted for
