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
Charlotte suddenly just grabbed the listener in Rita's hand violently and smashed it on the ground. "Who gives you the right to listen to other people's privacy? You..." "What are you panicking for?" Seeing Charlotte's reaction, Rita sneered. Realizing how improper her behavior was, Charlotte forced herself to be calm and said, "I'm not panicking. I'm just protecting my privacy." Protecting her privacy? What a good excuse. Sadly, it was just an excuse! Glancing at the listener that was already trampled to pieces, Rita sneered. Well, did she really think that she can get away with this without the listener as evidence? How naive... She then grabbed a voice recorder from her pocket and pressed the play button. Soon Charlotte's voice echoed in the whole living room, "Brian, I can guarantee you family a rich life as long as you took this bullet for me. I will even send you brother abroad to study in that music college in Country m." Brian and Charlotte as well as all peopl
Snapped out of muse, Rita looked confused. "What are you doing here?" Why is he here? The astonishment in her tone somehow rendered Liam in bitterness. She doesn't want to meet me, he thought. Let her go, give her the freedom that she wants, he once thought. But that decision lasted no longer than just a few days. That's why he came here today, to have a pretext to see her. But he could only hide all the feeling he felt for her deep in his heart no matter how he pined for her. His expression was customarily cold. "To visit Mr. Brown." "Oh..."Rita replied curtly and made way for him. "How do you feel, Mr. Brown?" Liam walked to Noah's bed and piled the supplement he bought down on the floor. Gently, he asked. "The doctor said that you mean to check out? But you are not fully recovered yet." Though he and Rita had divorced, Liam still treated Noah the same. More or less, that moved Noah. He talked to Liam casually. "I have been here for over a month. It's boredom that I s
A few days later, a subsidiary of the Brown Group got trapped in a scandal. There was a storm of boycott against Splendidflowers Brown on the Internet. Splendidflowers Brown, short as SF, was a luxurious female clothing brand that the Brown Group had developed in recent years. The design of Nathan Murphy, the chief designer of SF, was so audacious and chic that it magnetized celebrities. SF's sales had been increasing while the Brown Group's had been spiraling downwards. At the beginning, all the staff in SF assumed that the protest would cease soon, but it only intensified. The demonstration blocked their stores, and their sales plunged down consequently. And the Brown Group's reputation was tainted. The boycott set the whole Brown Group in a pandemonium. Noah rushed to the company for a board meeting even though he's not fully mended. "Rita, Zoe, I can't have dinner with you, I gotta go to the company." "What happened? You aren't recovered yet, why do they summon you?" Zo
Nathan Looked at Rita with confusion in his eyes. "That's what this is for?" She could just apply for a job if she wanted to get into the Brown Group. Why would she get herself in the swirl? "Isn't that a simple thing to do? Like, way to simple." So simple that made him felt unrealistic. Rita smiled, her eyes glimmering. "It's not simple, not at all." "You'll know." Rita didn't elaborate, she raised her eyes at Nathan. "So, what do you say? Wanna give it a shot or not?" Looking at Rita, Nathan felt like a lay of light just pried open the darkness he was in. He saw hope and warmness. "I'll give it a shot." He agreed resolutely after a moment of silence. His eyes laid on Rita's face again. "So, what's your plan? And, what do I need to do? Why don't we have a talk about that?" "You need to prepare some popcorn... and some beverage to wash it down." Popcorn and beverage? What? Nathan blinked, puzzled, "Huh?" "Just sit and lay back while watching me juggle." Rita laughed li
