Sweet Divorce

Chapter 5 A Land Contract

Liam’s smile was so elegant and charming, but Rita felt her blood frozen.

He seemed to give her a choice, but in fact he didn't.

What she could do is to compromise.

Rita’s clenched her hands into fists.

Although she was reconciled to compromise, she had got to accept the unfavorable conditions.

Once she mentioned divorce in front of Grandpa, Liam was so pitiless that he would let the Brown family drive her parents into desperate situation at once.

In the previous life, because of her, her parents were driven out of the house, and were bullied by uncle and his family.

In this life, she must avoid the tragedy.

As for the divorce, she could wait a little longer.

It wouldn’t be late to get a divorce until she was strong enough to support her parents and herself.

But now it’s impossible for her to divorce, she’d ask the man for some favors for fair.

She looked at the man and smiled: "I won't mention divorce in front of grandpa, Jim, but... I want the land in West Blue Bay."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Liam gave a satisfied smile.

But when he heard the other half, he pursed his lips and gazed at her coldly.

"Woman, what makes you think you are qualified to make deal with me, huh?"

The man squinted at Rita, deliberately emphasizing the last nasal sound, as if he were taunting her for being over-confident."

Rita sneered, "I am not eligible, but I am committed to a life and death struggle against you. I’m not afraid of you!"

Liam suddenly grabbed her by the neck, pressing his eyes into lines. Immediately the atmosphere got intense.

How dare she threaten him.

Damn it!

Just as the atmosphere was so intense that something was going to break out, the housekeeper, Edward Hall, hurried into the living room clutching a few pieces of paper in his hand. "Mr. Wilson......"

Seeing the hardened face of the man on the sofa, Edward stopped

Shit!

It seems that he came in at a wrong time!

What should he do, is it OK to get out now?

Standing there, Edward was in a quandary, swallowing in distress.

"Go on!” The man said. However, his eyes and hands did not move away from the woman, but pressed even harder."

Unable to breathe, Rita's face was full of pain.

Edward took a quick look at Rita, and then went to Liam’s side whispering, "The old Mr. Wilson...."

Rita can't hear what Edward said, but she felt Liam’s face got more hardened. A slight emotion change flipped in his dark eyes.

What can make this man moved?

Wondering, Rita secretly glanced at the paper in the hand of Edward, and saw a medical record sheet and the name of the old Mr. Wilson.

She recollected all memories of her previous life..

If not wrong grandpa died of heart problems soon later.

Did Liam know grandpa's physical condition?

When Rita was full of questions, she was flung away by the man.

"... The West Blue Bay is yours. The man's voice came from above. Rita looked at Liam with confusion.

This man gave her the land so generously!

It seemed her guess was right.

Liam knew grandpa's physical condition, so he gave in and accepted her conditions for the sake of Grandpa.

Only Joey and grandpa in this world can make this man be warm and tender.

Knowing that grandpa will soon be in sickness, Rita’s face turned glum..

But death is inevitable. What she could do was spending more time with her loving grandpa.

Rita feared that oral agreement will be futile, so she asked Liam to sign the land transfer agreement.

Holding the contract, her eyes shined bright. The corner of her mouth raised.

But her smile of victory annoyed the man. He put on a long gloomy face again.

He leaned on the sofa, having a rest , and moved his eyes away from her.

That day, Rita and grandpa chatted for a long time, during which grandpa was so amused that he laughed heartily.

He didn’t leave until they finished having dinner.

After grandpa left, Rita ignored Liam, and limped slowly back to her room.

"Lying in bed, she looked at the land transfer contract and smiled, "Though I won’t be leaving him for a while, it’s not too bad with the contract. It could help my parents a lot.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The next morning.

It was nine o'clock in the morning when Rita got up.

For the first time, she felt sleeping in was so good.

In the previous life, she believed in the creed that "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" so that every time when Liam is home, she got up early to make a love-breakfast for him.

At that time, cooking breakfast for him could make her day.

Now she thought herself a fool.

Even if you cook marvelously, a man who doesn't love you couldn’t be changed by your dishes.

Rita finished washing and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Liam, I made this Chinese yam chop soup for you. Would you like to taste it? As soon as she reached the staircase, a sweet voice came from downstairs.

Hearing the familiar sound, Rita suddenly stopped, looked at the restaurant, saw a woman flattering Liam. There is Charlotte.

Her cousin!

"Rita. Good morning."

Catching the sight of her, Charlotte welcomed her kindly and took Rita’s hands in hers.

Rita looked down and saw the woman's face, wearing such a kind look that she can’t help but feeling cold.

In the previous life, she regarded Charlotte as her own sister and protected and treasured her.

But the so-called good cousin secretly planned to push her into hell and snatch the right of inheritance from her and take over the whole family.

"Rita, this is the pill I mentioned last time. With it, you will be soon pregnant with Liam Wilson's baby and be Mrs. Wilson forever." Charlotte quickly stuffed a white pill into her hand.as Liam did not pay attention.

Oh!

Sure enough, it was the same plot as the previous life. Charlotte began setting traps again.

She will never forget how miserable she was tormented by Liam Wilson when he found her trick and made a divestment which led to that the stock of Brown Group plummet and almost a bankruptcy came to the group. She became a sinner as for her family.

Charlotte somehow set the water still and therefore was recognized by the family.

"Rita?"

Charlotte called her name again. Rita came to her senses and pretended to rejoice at the pill. She tucked it away and said, "Well, thank you for always caring for me." She vowed to fight back and ruin Charlotte silently.
