"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
Liam's interference changed the essence of the matter. In the dimness, the air was filled with hostility. The two men were like some volatile that could go off in any second and devastate the whole area. "Your woman? Seems like you have a bad memory, Liam. You and Rita have divorced." Oliver straightened his back and looked at Liam with mockery in his eyes. Liam's face became dark instantly at Oliver's provocation. But the angrier he was, the more complacent Oliver was. "She can be with whoever she wants to now, and you have no right to interfere." Oliver said as he reached his head out to take Rita back to his side. But Liam snapped his hand back. "Divorce? That's nothing but just a piece of paper. She's mine, for the whole of my life." "Nobody covets her." Liam declared in a domineering way, fretting Oliver. Oliver had reservations before, worrying that he might tarnish Ritas reputation since she and Liam were still legally married. But now? He had nothing to worry ab
"Liam, what did you buy?" smiling, Jacob walked up to Liam and asked. Liam looked aloof. "What? I have to report to you now?" Frightened, Jacob shook his head hurriedly. He poked at the roses lying conspicuously in the back seat, asked. "Liam, you didn't just go to buy these flowers, did you?" "You got a problem?" Liam said, nonchalance in his voice. Jacob raised a brow. "Didn't you say I am tacky? Then why did you still buy flowers?" Liam paused and turned on his heels, those onyx-like eyes of his fixing on Jacob. "Have you found out who took Nora, where is she now, and who is behind all this?" "No." Embarrassed, Jacob said scratching his head. "Well." Liam announced curtly, his face turned cold instantly. "Then why are you still here?" Oh, shit... Who is he, where is him? Cam he take back what he has just said. Jacob zipped his mouth and left to get on his task, not daring to utter another sound. Liam drove to Rita's. Right now in the Brown family. "Noah, you still
