Rita didn't get a reply from Liam. She raised her head to look at him and found that his eyes were closed. Could he fell asleep that fast? She knew he was just pretending so that he could avoid the subject. But inevitably, they had to divorce no matter he wanted to or not. She wriggled out of his embrace. Standing by the bed, she looked down at Liam. "Have the documents ready the day I return. We'll end this quick." Still, Liam gave no reply. Fretful, Rita raised her brows. She moved her eyes away from Liam to the desk, and plucked a pen to start drawing on a pad. She was gradually aware of how important power was after the trauma that happened to her family. Only with power could she protect the people she cared. Only with power could she safeguard herself from schemes and conspiracies. So she practiced once she was free, grasping every possible chance to better herself. Engrossed in her practice, Rita didn't notice that Liam had opened his eyes. He looked at her, his face
The chill air spilling out from Liam devoured the hall, turning summer into winter. Nora's heart thumped under her chest observing the man's fury. Why is he? Then he heard everything she just said. "Liam... I..." "Rita was right, I arrange you in the same room with Lilly intentionally. Liam interrupted her. Nora knew, but still, it hurt her to hear the truth from Liams mouth. She leaned on the crutch, asked bitterly. "You promised to forgive our family, Liam. Why are you still so cruel to me?" "I did promise that. But I didn't say that I would forgive you." Liam squinted, eyes filled with aggression. " A Wilson always protects the people he cares. Nobody can hurt the people he cares." Whoever dared to so would regret. And Nora broke Rita's leg. She had to pay her debt. Putting her in the same dorm with Lilly was just to collect the interest. His explanation shocked the two girls both. For an instant, they both looked at Liam. "Do you understand now?" Liam looked dagg
Outside a hotel affiliated to the Wilson Group, Liam parked his Maybach. Rita cradled Lillian with one hand and tried to open the door with the other. Liam got the car and spared her the difficulty by opening the door for her. "Thanks." Rita hauled Lillian, who was shitfaced, out of the car, and then moved her eyes on Liam. "I'll take her upstairs." "I'll go with you."Liam glanced at Rita's shaking leg and frowned. As he tried to take Lillian from Rita to relieve her, a car rushed by and parked before them. Jacob got off the car, his face complex. He trotted up to Liam and whispered to his ears. "Liam, It went wrong She..." He swallowed the rest of his sentence when he spied Rita. Rita took note of that. Dragging Lillian, she headed toward the hotel. "I'll leave you two alone, I'm taking Lillian to her room." "Just say it." Liam announced. He didn't have to hide anything from her. Liam gave the hotel staff a look. And then immediately, a manager came out and brought Lill
"Calm down, Rita." Liam tried to retain his composure, but some scent floating over the air was numbing his head. Frowning, he squeezed his hands grabbing Rita's shoulders. It's not going to work this way. He would soon not be able to retain his composure. He reached for the sheet, intending to strap Rita with and then call Mrs. Davis to come help. But he broke a glass bottle when he tried to grab the sheet. Rapidly, the content evaporated in the air, a strong scent swarmed up into Liam's nose. "Shit, it's..." scowling, Liam tried to cover his nose with his hand so he would not sniff in the drug. But it was too late. Soon, he became a beast controlled by lust. *** The next day morning. When the drug lost its effect, Rita came back to her consciousness slowly. She felt like her head was blowing. She rubbed her head, and then opened her eyes. She heard somebody knocking at the door. She tried to sit up. "Lillian, you awake?" But when she saw the face of the person lyi
After parting ways with Lillian, Rita didn't choose to leave the hotel hurriedly but went to the roof top. So much had happened overnight, so she got to find a place to clear her mind. Not in her wildest dreams had Rita thought that the friendship that she valued the most in this lifetime would hurt her this much. It really hurts so much. She started trembling uncontrollably out of the sheer pain in her already broken heart. Soft breezes blew through the roof top. There were tears dropping to the ground from the girls face. In the meantime, Liam was standing behind her and stared at her lovingly with sorrow. But he didn't step forward and console her. He just stood by her side, let her calm herself down and deal with the fact that some people in her life were destined to leave. Twenty minutes later, the girl who was standing by the roof top finally moved. Seeing that she had cleared her mind and was about to go downstairs, Liams icy eyes immediately brightened up. Putting
Looking at Liam, Rita was surprised. "You... You are okay with this?" "Start striving." Liam didn't answer her question but spoke to the driver coldly. The car then deviated from its original course and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Rita didn't come to herself after a while. She didn't understand why Liam would agree with her all of a sudden, but she was still excited thinking that this marriage was finally over. Because of Liam's consent, the divorce procedure was completed pretty quickly. They both got the divorce certificate fifteen minutes after they went into the Bureau. Looking at the divorce paper, Rita was relived. It was finally over. Her real rebirth started now. Putting away the divorce certificate, Rita looked at the cold-faced Liam and said, "Thank you." Than you? Hearing these two words, Liam felt painful inside. Liam's face was as indifferent as ever, but he was actually squeezing the divorce paper hard secretly. "Let's just keep this divorce thing
"Well, you are back." Charlotte greeted Rita weirdly as soon as she entered the door. "Well, you are just in time. Let's just sit down and have a serious talk." Rita didn't say anything and just stared at her. "Sit down!" Sitting on the couch, Charlotte threw an already signed properties division paper to her and said, "Just sign your name here if you don't have a problem with this." Rita actually found it hilarious that Charlotte was being so audacious. How come that she was so self-confident now after she just went on a business trip for a few days? It looked like that someone ought to be reminded of her identity and situation. Thinking about this, Rita glanced at the maids coldly and said angrily, "Did you all forget why you are here?" All the maids were confused by the sudden questioning. "How can you just let some random person barge in and disturb grandmother's rest?" Rota was obviously displeased and remained cold. "How can we let you stay here if you can't even do
When Jack, Brian and Charlotte met each other, their eyes all got complexed. Though they were tough before, they all got guilty face on at this moment. "Don't stand around, people. Why don't we all sit down and have a nice talk." Rita glanced at them and smiled. Though she was being weirdly polite, all of them didn't dare just to sit down. Charlotte forced a smile amid panicking and sat back on the couch gracefully, "Sister, you haven't asked that man carefully yet. How come that you asked another one in? I'm really confused." "Right, who gives you the right to arrest me?" Brian chimed in, "You must give me an explanation or I will sue you." "I'll sue you right now. You lied to me yesterday so I would get out of the airport and just detained me!" Glaring at Rita sitting on the sofa, Jack accused angrily. Sue? Rita actually found it ridiculous that these two men were using this word. Weren't they guilty? Seeing how loud and self-confident they were, Rita assumed that in
