Sweet Divorce

Chapter 30 Get Out Of the Way After the Show

In the evening.

After finishing his work, Liam did not return to Rita's room as usual.

He wanted to be alone so that he could figure out some things, so he chose to go back to his room.

However, when he lay down on the bed, he could not fall asleep no matter how he turned. As a result, he succeeded in ...

He succeeded in losing sleep.

He leaned against the bed and took a deep drag on his cigarette to relieve his frustration.

But this method was useless at all. He still couldn't fall asleep.

He had to admit that Rita, as a hypnagogue, was indeed not bad for him.

At this moment, Rita's delicate little face appeared in his mind again.

Rita?

He still thought of her.

Liam took another drag on his cigarette irritably, pulled out a photo frame from the drawer, and stared at the woman, who was gentle and beautiful, with a complicated look. Gradually he was lost in thought again.

This woman was none other than Joey.

Many people were curious about why he had such a deep and special preference for Joey. Maybe it was because of an accident many years ago.

Although Liam was in a coma during that period, he was still conscious.

Liam heard that the doctor had given up on him, but there was a woman telling him – she was waiting for him, and she would not give up. She lent her lucky pendant to him, and she believed that he would wake up again.

The next day, he really woke up. He touched the star-shaped pendant under the pillow and saw Joey.

Later, from the nurse's words, he was sure that the woman, who had taken care of him for two months, was Joey. So from that moment on, Liam swore in his heart that he would take good care of Joey for the rest of his life.

But ...

She was in a car accident later.

Thinking of this, Liam took a drag on the cigarette again, and his face darkened again ...

After that night, he became indifferent to Rita.

However, he went home on time every day.

As for Rita, she was focused on her study, so she naturally didn't notice this point.

On a morning, when Rita went downstairs, she saw Jacob.

She smiled politely. Then she sat down in her seat and lowered her head to have breakfast.

As soon as she sat down, the man opposite her had already stood up and left.

"Mrs. Wilson, I just heard from Mr. Wilson that he would go to F University." Seeing that Rita was still focused on eating, Mrs. Davis couldn't help reminding her.

"Oh" Rita replied with only one word and then continued to have breakfast in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Davis was stunned. She wondered if what she said was not obvious enough.

So, Mrs. Davis added, "Aren't you going to F University too? You two are on the same way, so why don't you and Mr. Wilson go there together?"

When the man heard this, he glanced at Rita.

However, Rita continued to eat breakfast calmly as if she didn't hear what Mrs. Davis said.

"Mrs. Wilson?"

It wasn't until Mrs. Davis called her again that Rita raised her head and said with a smile, "I still have some other things to do today, so we are not on the same way. I'll drive to school by myself later." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Not on the same way?

It was an excuse that she didn't want to go there with Liam!

Liam became gloomy and quickly walked out of the house.

Seeing this, Jacob hurried to follow Liam. He secretly glanced at Liam's gloomy face and sighed secretly.

'Ouch... god really wants me dead.'

'Liam probably have really fallen in love with this woman.'

After the meal.

Rita drove to the school unhurriedly, and then she rushed to the registration office of the school's design competition.

In fact, on the surface, it was a design competition, but in fact, it was more like a recruitment meeting for companies to find talents. If some executives took a fancy to some contestants, most of those contestants would sign the contract directly.

Therefore, many college students were willing to participate in the competition, hoping that with this, they could join a good company and find a good job.

There were too many people who wanted to participate, so there was already a long queue outside the registration department.

Rita stood there for a long time, so her injured left leg started to became painful.

When she couldn't bear the pain, she would clench her fists and beat the nerves of her thigh in order to relieve the pain.

In the crowd, she had been bent her body, which was particularly conspicuous.

Charlotte Brown, who also came to sign up, saw Rita at a glance with malicious eyes. "Why is she here?"

"Who?" Sophia Miller, who was following her. When she saw Rita, who was hitting her left leg, Sophia's face was full of contempt. "Rita!"

There were many things that the Miller family's company had to rely on the Brown family, so Sophia knew a little about the matters in the Brown family.

When Sophia saw Charlotte's malicious expression to Rita, she knew that she got an opportunity to curry favor with Charlotte.

So Sophia came forward and encouraged her. "Charlotte, let's go and play with that good-for-nothing!"

"I don't think it's a good idea." Charlotte acted as a good student.

"What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter to bully a good-for-nothing who is being loved by nobody. Anyway, neither the Brown family nor the Wilson family will stand up for her." Sophia spoke, tugged Charlotte's hand, and walked towards Rita.

Because of the Blue Bay's land, her grandmother had been putting her eldest uncle in an important position recently, which made her under a lot of pressure.

Charlotte had been holding a grudge against Rita, so she also wanted to teach Rita a lesson.

Sophia was willing to play tricks on Rita for her sake. Naturally, she was happy. Thus, she followed after Sophia with half-loath and half-consenting.

"Hey, Mr. Wilson!"

All of a sudden, Rita heard a mocking voice.

Then, Rita looked up.

When she saw Sophia come to her with Charlotte, Rita knew that the two of them were definitely thinking of something bad.

"You slept with your best friend's husband, and you caused your best friend to die miserably. If such a bitch like you can sign up for the design competition, the purity of the design competition will be dirtied." Sophia looked at Rita disdainfully.

Sophia purposely raised her volume when she said those last words.

In an instant, the students around Rita began to point at her.

"Oh, how could this woman be such a bitch?"

"That's right, that's right. She is a scumbag!"

"Does she want to get a promotion through dirty means in the design competition?"

People around Rita were talking about her with hostility. Charlotte, who was standing beside Rita, snickered at Rita gloatingly.

She had held back her anger for a long time, and she had vented half of it today.

She stood by the side, not saying a word, but continued to watch the show.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Wilson, you always occupied the first place on the list of skipping class, so have you ever been to professional courses? Have you taken a pen in your hand? How dare you sign up for the design competition?" Sophia saw many people were supporting her, so she became even more arrogant.

Ignoring Sophia's smug demeanor, Rita said coldly, "At least I have the guts. What else can you do other than spouting nonsense?"

"How dare you say that!" Sophia was so angry that she almost flew into a rage.

Rita spread out her hands and smiled. "So what?"

"You!" Sophia was so angry at this moment. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people here, she would have rushed over and slapped Rita!

"Get out of the way!" Rita lifted her leg and walked past Sophia.

Sophia was so angry that she was on the verge of going mad. When she saw Rita limped in front of her, a hint of imperceptible viciousness flashed through Sophia's furious eyes.

While Rita was caught off guard, Sophia stretched out her leg and tripped Rita.

Then, Rita lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground ...
