Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 68

In the living room.

Rita left. The atmosphere in the living room was getting more and more tense. It seemed that the room fell into the ice cellar and the chill was already spreading.

Everyone in the living room felt in danger and dare not breathe.

Especially Charlotte, she knew how important Joey was to Liam.

What's more, after Rita became the scapegoat, she was so miserable during that year. So... Now she was extremely frightened, and her nerves were on edge.

At this point, Liam sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.

He leaned lazily on the sofa. His long black eyes swept the crowd one by one, and finally were fixed on Charlotte. His eyes suddenly narrowed.

Charlotte happened to look up.

Eye to eye, she could hardly breathe at the coldness in his eyes. Then she went limb and fell to the ground. "Liam, I was wrong. I was wrong!"

"It's noisy." He frowned and his eyes were filled with impatience.

He slid her a sideways glance, who quickly shut up. He knocked on the arm of the sofa with two fingers.

Charlotte felt more frightened as he did not speak. Her whole back was wet with cold sweat.

Suddenly, the man's fingers stopped!

"Charlotte, you are so calculating! Even I was set up! " Liam stretched out his hand and pinched her chin. His eyes were cold as if covered with a sheet of ice.

"You have to pay the price!"

The strength of his hand increased sharply. Charlotte suddenly felt painful and her heart shrank. At that moment she seemed to hear the sound of crushing her jaw bone.

Enough to see how angry he was!

She cried and begged. "Liam, sorry, sorry, for the sake of my ignorance, for Rita’s sake, spare my life!"

‘She didn't want to die. She really didn't want to die!’

"You can rest easy. I will not let you die!" Death was not enough to release his anger. Liam shook her off coldly. "Death is too good for such a woman like you!"

He wanted her to suffer!!!

Charlotte fell on the ground again.

Nobody knew that if it was the fall or because of Liam’s words, Charlotte suddenly paled.

"Jacob, see off the guests!"

Liam got up cold and gave Jacob a cold look.

Jacob understood and beckoned to several servants and took them to besiege Charlotte.

Suddenly, she shivered.

She grabbed Mason by the leg hurriedly and cried for help. "Dad, I... I'm afraid. Dad, I'm your only daughter. You can't leave me alone!"

Although Mason was cowardly, he still loved Charlotte.

Especially when she was besieged, his fatherly love was aroused. He stood in front of Charlotte, turning his head to look at Liam. "Charlotte knew that she was wrong. Make an exception to spare her!"

‘Excuse me, spare Charlotte? You must be dreaming!’

Liam looked at Mason and his eyes narrowed. "Don't intercede with me for her. Otherwise... I don't mind changing the president of the Brown Group!"

Mason was subdued by the cold eyes of Liam! And he gasped for air because the coldness in Liam’s tone.

‘To change the owner of the Brown Group? This...This...’

He looked at Charlotte beside him, with his eyes full of hesitation.

Charlotte seemed to realize that Mason was wavering. She tightened her grip on his leg abruptly. "Dad, don't, don't leave me alone."

"Charlotte, I..."

"Mason, come home with me!" Amelia interrupted Mason coldly. With the stick hitting the ground, she ordered.

Immediately, Mason shook and closed his eyes to make up his mind to push Charlotte away. "Charlotte, I can't... I can not be the sinner of the Brown family."

After that, Mason took Rose to follow Amelia to leave.

Only Charlotte left, at Liam’s disposal.

Being abandoned by the Brown family, Charlotte realized that Rita was in despair when she was driven out.

Before Charlotte came to her sense from despair, she was lifted by Jacob.

"What are you doing?" Charlotte shouted in fear. But no one responded to her. She was lifted to leave the room and was thrown. She fell a meter away.

As she stopped, her face, arms, and hands were scratched in many places.

Jacob gave her a cold glance and turned back to the living room.

"Liam, she was thrown out of the house."

"Well." Liam said, and pulled his eyes back from a room on the second floor.

He played with the phone on his hand all the time. Then Jacob’ mobile phone received several videos.

Looking at these videos, Jacob looked up Liam confusedly. "Liam...This...”

"You go to..."

After listening to Liam’s order, Jacob’s charming eyes narrowed, "OK, leave it to me."

"Do not wait. I'll do it now!" Because he couldn't wait to see the result, Jacob got up and left.

"Wait! I need you to deliver a message to the Brown family.” When it came to the Brown family, Liam’s eyes became more colder. "Charlotte set my wife up and she didn't deserve the last name of Brown!"

Jacob was surprised.

‘Liam said that Charlotte set his wife up. Set his wife up! Not set him up!! He was protecting his wife!’

Jacob was surprised at the public display of affection. His lips twitched with amusement.

‘Liam, did you remember that you said you would not fall in love with Rita? What are you doing? I'm tired!

***

On the second floor.

Rita stood on the balcony, coldly watching Charlotte being abandoned by the Brown family.

She smiled coldly and said, "The ruthlessness of some people remains unchangeable!"

‘In the prior life, they were extremely cruel to her. In this life, they do the same to Charlotte! That's fair.’

She sneered and went back to the bed.

Since they left, she had been waiting for Liam to come to her.

However, he didn't come from dawn till dark.

Just when she couldn't figure it out, there was a knock on the door.

Her glassy eyes suddenly sparkled!

‘He's here at last!’

She got up and walked quickly to open the door.

"Liam, we..."

"Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Wilson asked me to call you to dinner." Mrs. Davis looked at her coming and gave her a smile.

Rita looked at Mrs. Davis outside the door and felt a little disappointed. Then she hid the divorce agreement behind her and forced a smile. "Ok."

She threw the divorce agreement on the table and followed Mrs. Davis downstairs.

***

In the dining room.

Rita looked at the only empty chair beside Liam and frowned.

‘Where are the other chairs?’

"Mrs. Wilson, this is your favorite poached spicy pork slices." At this time, Mrs. Davis brought the dish to her with a smile. "Have a taste."

"Ok," Rita nodded with a smile and had to sit beside Liam.

She used the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables. But she did not the expression on Liam’s face changed from grimness to delight. It seemed like the ice was melting away.

When Rita lowered her head to eat, Liam suddenly put a piece of meat into her bowl with his chopsticks.

Looking at the chopsticks, Rita suddenly looked at him.

"... Well, you don't like it?" Liam looked at her and said calmly.

Rita looked at the awkward Liam, in amazement.

‘Liam puts food for her? Is she hallucinating?’

She looked down at the meat in the bowl. After blinking, the meat was still there.

It didn't disappear. Still there! No illusions. It was true.

But there should be no surprise.

‘Maybe, after the truth came out, he felt guilty for her. So, he was acting oddly.

Stunned for a few seconds, she returned to calm.

"... Thank...Thank you." Rita smiled and continued to eat with her head down. But she didn't eat the meat.

Obviously, Liam also saw that she did not eat that meat.

His eyes were downcast and bleak.

At the dinner table, they were eating with their own secrets.

After a while, Mrs. Davis brought up a fish.

" Mrs. Davis, what's the occasion with so many dishes?" She looked at the chicken, duck and fish, full of curiosity.

Mrs. Davis said happily, "Congratulations! You finally prove your innocence. You two finally lift the misunderstanding!"

Hearing this, Rita’s smile froze.

‘Yes, they have lifted the misunderstanding. But... There are some problems between them that need to be solved. After dinner, she had to talk to Liam about divorce. It can't be delayed. She can't stay with him anymore. It's not good. It's not good.’

Although she thought so, she didn't say it for Mrs. Davis’s sake.

She just smiled gently. "Thank you, Mrs. Davis."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Wilson. As long as you two get along well, I'll be happy." Mrs. Davis continued to walk toward the kitchen with a smile. While the two people in the room looked at each other, each lowered head and said nothing.

They were not very happy.

After the meal, Liam got up and went back to his room.

Seeing this, Rita hastily pushed the bowl away and followed him.

Back in the room, she locked the door and handed the divorce agreement to Liam. "The truth of that year has come out. I'm innocent. Now you can sign it?"

"Is that what you said you wanted to talk to me about?" Liam looked at the divorce agreement in front of him. His face was very ugly.

"Yes." At this time, she handed him a carbon pen. "Now that the truth has come out, I think we should end it."

He looked at the resolute Rita, and was very unhappy.

‘Obviously, she didn't love him anymore. Really.’

"Liam?"

Maybe because he was distracted for a long time, Rita called his name.

He looked back and glanced at the divorce agreement, which was very simple. Rita wanted nothing and divorced without any property.

She just wanted to leave.

‘Now, it seemed that he had no reason to refuse to sign. Well, no reason.’

"I can sign the divorce agreement, but..." He suddenly stopped at the key issue.

Rita asked confusedly, “But what? "

"I have a condition."

‘Condition?!’

Rita frowned and her eyes were full of amazement. ‘Now the truth is clear. Why is he so indecisive? There are conditions?’

She looked at him confusedly. "What conditions?”
