Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 78

Liam walked away angrily.

Looking at him, Yolanda was dumbfounded.

Liam had said it clearly that he wanted to make the Nash family disappear in F City.

Yolanda covered her left chest with her hands and fell to the ground, with her face turning grey and her eyes filling with anxiety, “No… no! Liam, you can’t do that.”

She took painstaking effort to help the Nash family have such achievements.

“I can’t?” Liam paused for a while and then turn around to glare at Yolanda, raising his eyebrows, “You’re right. I won’t make the Nash Group disappear.”

“I will buy it, which is only the beginning of my revenge.”

Hearing Liam said he would not let the Nash Group disappear, Yolanda thought he had changed his mind. But then his last sentence was buzzing around his head.

If it was only the beginning, what else did he want to do?

She seemed to think of something and then her face turned grey again.

She grasped Nora’s hands, “Nora, save the Nash family! You must save us!”

Nora hesitated for a while and ran to Liam. She held his arm firmly, with her eyes brimmed with tears, “Liam, you can’t trust that girl and destroy the Nash family just because of a video.”

“Liam, you hadn’t found the video at that time. How could she get it?”

“Also, why didn’t she send you the video a year ago? And now she came forward with the video? Liam, the girl and the video are very suspicious, could you give me some time to investigate them?”

Liam turned around and gazed at her, without speaking any words.

Nora thought he would take her suggestion because he did not argue with her. Then her eyes twinkled with amusement, “Liam, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

But Liam pushed her away.

Staring at his handsome face, Nora frowned with surprise, “Liam?”

“I trust her.”

Hearing this, tears rolled down her face, “You don’t believe Joey loves you, and you don’t trust us just because of an unknown imposter who masqueraded as a doctor?”

Liam ignored her question and walked out distantly.

“You should ask your parents those questions. Go ask them what they have done so that Doctor White did not dare to send me this video.”

It turned into chaos in the living room after Liam left.

Yolanda pushed herself to her feet and wanted to slap Doctor White, “Bitch! You and your mother are totally the nemesis of mine!”

The stinging slap almost caught Doctor White’s face, but she grasped Yolanda’s wrist and stopped her.

Yolanda could not pull her wrist free. She gritted her teeth in fury.

“You bitch! You stole your friend’s boyfriend and incited Daryal Nash to abandon my mom. Now you teach your daughter to steal the boyfriend of her best friend. You’re such an asshole!”

“You…”

“In order to hide the truth and preserve the family fortune for your daughters, you even tried to kill me. The brain damage turned me into a vegetable after you pushed me downstairs. And I didn’t come around until three months ago!”

Speaking of the past, Ellen White held Yolanda’s wrist so firmly that Yolanda’s face was racked with pain.

Yolanda’s heart dip a flip when Ellen mentioned the past. But she soon became firm with Ellen again and struggled to pull her hand free, “I pushed you? What’s the proof? You have to speak with the proof!”

“You…” Ellen did not find the proof indeed. But there were only her and Yolanda. If it wasn’t Yolanda, which else could it be?

Although Ellen felt angry that Yolanda did not admit, she had already expected that.

She sneered, “I can’t prove it now. But I will definitely take revenge on you!”

“Yolanda, you did not expect that I would copy the surveillance video before you deleted it, right?”

Yolanda glared at her after hearing this.

It turned out that Ellen had copied the video one step ahead of her. No wonder Liam would find the video.

When she was distracted, Ellen pushed her away, “You owed me and my mom. Now I’ll avenge us with the help of Liam!”

Liam was sitting in the car and drew heavily on his cigarette.

He looked down at the star-shaped necklace in his hand. What Rita had said in the video was replayed in his mind again and again like a machine.

“You are my life.”

“You are my life.”

It hurt him every time it resounded.

It was the first time that he had ever suffered such anguish.

Being consumed with guilt, Liam held the necklace firmly and laid on the seat with his eyes closed.

“Mr. Wilson, we’ve arrived the villa.”

The driver said to Liam after he pulled over the car.

Liam grabbed his eyebrow and looked up at a room of the villa. And then he was overwhelmed by the feelings of guilt.

“Liam, don’t you come home?” Seeing Liam was in a state of preoccupation, Jacob whispered to him.

Liam forced himself to stop staring at Rita’s room and squeezed his nose fretfully, “Keep driving.”

The driver was bewildered. Didn’t Mr. Wilson say he wanted to go home?

Jacob asked, “Where do you want to go?”

“The pub.”

Being distraught, Liam said and leaned on his seat.

It was the first time that Jacob had ever seen Liam being so fretful like this. He couldn’t resist looking at the villa. He could easily guess why Liam was so upset even without asking.

Well, it was a twist of fate.

Nobody ever thought that it was Rita who kept nursing Liam.

Liam must have had mixed feelings about the truth.

Since Liam was so upset, Jacob had to accompanied him.

They left the villa and came to the pub.

Sitting at the bar, Liam looked ahead absently. He kept drinking the wine glass after glass.

“Refill my glass.”

Then Jacob poured him another drink.

Liam drank it down straight away.

“Pour me another drink.”

“Liam, you are getting yourself drunk.” He drank one glass at a time, which was total trying to drink himself down.

Liam frowned and looked at Jacob with coldness, “Pour me.”

“No! You’ve drunk a whole bottle of wine.” He was going to vomit blood if he kept drinking like this.

“What’s wrong? You don’t listen to me now?” Liam squinted at Jacob, with his eyes filled with anger.

“I said, pour me another drink!”

Jacob got strained immediately.

But he was still holding the bottle tightly and wouldn’t let go, “Liam, it’s useless to find solace in the bottle.”

“I’m finding solace?” Liam paused for a while and gave a wry smile.

“Yeah!” In Jacob’s mind, Liam was definitely finding solace by drinking alcohol.

Hearing this, Liam stayed motionless for a second and grabbed the bottle from Jacob’s hand. There was still half a bottle of wine. He drank the rest of the it directly.

He was anguished if he did not indulge in the alcohol.

It hurt him so hard that he could barely bear such pain.

Liam did not know how much he had drunk that night.

He was self-disciplined for all these years, but he got really drunk this time.

And he was completely drunk.

When he got home, he still felt the burning sensation in his throat and stomach. He loosened his tie and threw it away, then he went into Rita’s room.

He opened the door and staggered few steps into the room. Rita was sleeping when he came in. Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes immediately.

She turned around and saw the man walking in. Then she laid down again, turning her back against him.

He swept her up into his arms, breathing alcohol fumes all over her.

Rita stayed motionless and got strained, “Liam, let go of me!”

“…”

“Liam?”

She got angry seeing that he did not reply.

She thrust her elbow into his stomach out of anger, “Let go of me.”

“…”

Rita frowned when he had been no response to her words.

She laid flat and caught a glimpse of him.

By the light of the moon, she saw he closed his eyes, breathing evenly.

He fell asleep?

It was rare that he would go out for a drink and get drunk.

She did not want to get angry with a drunk, so she moved her body, trying to disengage herself from his arms.

But then his arms were wrapped around her waist again.

“Why didn’t you tell me that it was you who had been taking care of me in the hospital?” He asked behind her back.

His voice was very low and a bit hoarse, beating her heart like a drumstick. Her heart did a flip and then she laid motionless.

Why?

Perhaps it was because she was too proud.

She did not want to gain his love in this way.

But she did not explain to him.

Turning her back to the man, she got vexed and said distantly, “Mr. Wilson, you are drunk now. Please let go of me.”

But Liam kept quiet again.

His silence got her more vexed, and she twisted her body attempting to get rid of him.

But she was forced to turn around instead.

“Rita!”

The drunk man called her name again, with his eyes closed.

She observed him by the moonlight and frowned, “What?”

“Sorry.”

He apologized suddenly, which jolted her.

Before she figured out what had happened, she was kissed by him. “Let's start again from the beginning.”

What?

Start again?

Hearing this, Rita went blank and stiffened, with her eyes dilating.

But soon her eyes were misted with tears.

She bit his lip abruptly, “You are drunk indeed!”

The blood oozed down through his throat, and then she felt Liam stiffened.

She dodged back and then kicked him away.

His back was cracked on the end of the bed.

He felt a sharp pain and broke out in a sweat. Then he was sober. He realized how ridiculous he had been just now.

Staring at her, he frowned, “Sorry, I…”

“Sober up?”

Rita interrupted him bluntly.

Then she looked down at the man who fell on the floor and pointed at the door, “Go away, now!”
