Sweet Divorce

She Dumped me

Freddy had been known as the most popular boy in high school.

He was good-looking indeed.

But to Rita, who already saw the strikingly handsome face of Liam, Freddy was not that good-looking anymore.

It felt like…

After she had already eaten the honey, she would not think melon was sweet enough.

But the couple in front of her did not know what was going through her mind.

Rita sniggered, “I had a crush on him? Why don’t I know that?”

Hearing that, Leyla looked at her with contempt. “What? You’ve forgotten the love letter you sent to him, which he returned back to you?

She had sent love letter to Freddy and had been rejected by him?

Well…

Why did she remember it was him who sent the letter to her and had been rejected?

Rita had not spoken yet, but Freddy who knew what had happened looked uneasy.

He nudged at Leyla and said to her in an undertone. “OK, stop it. We should go to the dinner.”

“Sweetie, no. I just want to help the old schoolmate to recall the old days.

Leyla pouted as a spoiled girl.

Freddy had to compromise.

Leyla would definitely not go anywhere.

In high school, Rita had surpassed her in the exam or in the race for the most beautiful girl in the school.

Though Leyla managed to play cool, she really hated Rita for that.

Now…

The man that Rita had had a crush on became her boyfriend.

She thought it was a good time to overshadow Rita, so she could not miss this opportunity to show off in front of her.

She held Freddy’s arm intentionally, gloating. “Rita, we will have the wedding on eighth next month, you must come.”

Rita scorned, “I don’t think we are so familiar that I should come to your wedding.”

In Leyla’s mind, Rita’s refusal was because she did not want to see her beloved one to marry another girl.

The thoughts made Leyla even more complacent.

“Why? You’re afraid that you will be too sad to attend his weeding? You’d said you hadn’t fallen for my boyfriend? Who will buy that?”

Rita was speechless.

She wondered why Leyla was so proud. Did Leyla think her boyfriend was some kind of heartthrob that every woman would fall in love with?

She did not know why Leyla thought she had fallen for Freddy.

But she was not going to explain.

First, she couldn't be bothered to explain to an unimportant woman;

Second, she did not want to bring that up to embarrass Freddy.

As his classmate, she could help him to save his face.

“Believe it or not, I haven’t done that, and I won’t admit it.”

Leaving Leyla with that, Rita went to the restaurant with Nathan and others.

The waitress came to welcome them warmly when they walked in.

With her eyes going through Nathan and Tomas and resting on Rita’s clothes, her obsequious smile turned into a sneer instantly.

As if she was mocking Rita who came to the fancy restaurant with cheap clothes.

To the waitress, Rita was clearly overreaching herself.

Frowning, Rita had a look at her outfit and understood why the waitress had contempt for her.

This morning, she put on the sweeter that she bought with only a few bucks in a stall when she and Isabelle went shopping last week.

Perhaps she was scorned because of the clothes.

Rita gave a wry smile – in this society, fancy clothes make the man.

Ignoring the disrespectful waitress, Rita smiled at Nathan and Tomas. “What do you want? It’s my treat.”

The waitress sniffed at her words, “Miss, the food here are quite expensive.”

Smiling, she said with obvious disdain.

Because Rita dressed too casually.

“The ramen is the cheapest one, and it costs over fifty dollars.”

Rita was amused by waitress’s disrespectful words.

She thought the waitress almost wanted to say bluntly that she could not afford a meal here.

She opened her mouth to say something, but Leyla, who just had a fight with Rita, held Freddy’s arm and approached.

The waitress noticed the couple and came to them. “Miss Leyla, welcome. Your reservation is on the third floor, I’ll show you the way.”

“No rush.”

“I know.”

The waitress treated Leyla in a totally different way.

Rita wondered, what a snob she was.

“Rita, I’ve heard you’ve slept with a big shot in the F City, but what happened? Why are you still wearing these cheap clothes?”

Looking at the sweeter, Leyla jeered at her.

Leyla had heard something about Rita and Liam from the Ellis.

Not so much. But most of them was the scandal of Rita.

She thought that was enough to humiliate Rita.

Leyla did not mention which one Rita had slept with on purpose, so that others might think Rita was a vain girl and a gold digger.

At that moment, the waitress looked at Rita in a more contemptuous and disrespectful way.

For Rita, she had been trying to stand Leyla since she had come here.

Now…

Leyla had gone too far and she even had challenged Rita’s bottom line.

Then Rita would not continue to tolerate Leyla.

If she recalled correctly, Leyla did marry Freddy in her back life, but her child’s father was not him.

She was told that Leyla had a night stand with six guys before she got married with Freddy…so her child’s father was unknown.

Freddy was the one who had brought up the child of his wife and other unknown guy.

Rita’s lips curved into a smile. “Miss Leyla, I’ve also heard that you’re quite into a six-men group.”

Leyla was stunned at her words.

But others, not understanding what Rita meant, were all confused.

Freddy asked, “Six-men group?”

“You’re talking nonsense! What six-men group? What are you saying?”

Pale, Leyla growled at Rita, trying to play numb and skip this subject.

Rita sniggered, “I’m talking nonsense? I just heard that in Miss Leyla‘s birthday party…”

“Shut up! Hearsay is not reliable at all.”

“Then do you think how reliable it is when you heard something about me?”

Rita asked, which checkmated Leyla. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Those who had looked down upon Rita began to change their attitude.

It turned out that what Miss Leyla had said was just an unreliable hearsay.

Discomfited, Leyla sneered, “But it’s not just hearsay, because my cousin is the one who has grown up with that man!

I know very well what you had done.

You stole your best friend’s boyfriend by some dirty tricks for money. Then you forced him to marry you with the help of his grandfather who were fond of you after your friend died.”

Now… his grandpa died, and you’re dumped!

That is because the girl that he has grown up with has come back, and you have to give way to her.

Rita Brown, you are nothing but a rat gold digger to him from the beginning,

How can you still ride the high horse in front of me?

You’re just a woman who are abandoned after sex, so don’t be so artless.

Disgusting.”

Leyla got more and more excited while speaking and she said all she had been told.

Actually, Freddy also heard something about Rita.

And it was basically the same as what Leyla had said.

Frowning, he looked at the girl standing in front of him with contempt and disdain.

She’d said they were unsuited to each other. Nonsense, she clearly thought the Pearson was not rich enough.

What a cheap and mean woman.

What Freddy was thinking was the same as what the waitress and other nearby customers thought of Rita.

Suddenly, everyone started condemning her.

And they looked at her as if they were looking at some disgusting thing.

Nathan and Tomas got enraged seeing Rita was insulted.

Nathan took a step to Leyla and wanted to teach Leyla a lesson. “Have some respect for her!”

“Well, if she is respectable.” Leyla gave a mocking smile.

Holding Nathan and Tomas, who were clenching their fists and trying to rush to Leyla, Rita was not angered. She smiled at Leyla’s words. “Who said I am dumped? Your cousin Emma?”

“It’s none of your business. You are dumped anyway, and now you become a divorced woman.”

“But I’m telling you today: I divorce him. I’m the one who breaks up with him.”

Leyla laughed out at her words. “Well done, how can you prove that?”

“That’s true, she dumped me first.”

A deep and sonorous voice came through the crowds.

And then there was the sound of leather shoes on the floor –

Clack, clack, clack.
