Sweet Divorce
Chapter 150 It Was Too Late

Charlotte suddenly just grabbed the listener in Rita's hand violently and smashed it on the ground. "Who gives you the right to listen to other people's privacy? You..." "What are you panicking for?" Seeing Charlotte's reaction, Rita sneered.

Realizing how improper her behavior was, Charlotte forced herself to be calm and said, "I'm not panicking. I'm just protecting my privacy."

Protecting her privacy?

What a good excuse.

Sadly, it was just an excuse!

Glancing at the listener that was already trampled to pieces, Rita sneered.

Well, did she really think that she can get away with this without the listener as evidence?

How naïve...

She then grabbed a voice recorder from her pocket and pressed the play button.

Soon Charlotte's voice echoed in the whole living room, "Brian, I can guarantee you family a rich life as long as you took this bullet for me. I will even send you brother abroad to study in that music college in Country m."

Brian and Charlotte as well as all people present were in shock.

At the very next second, all the maids started discussing with each other.

"What a surprise! So Charlotte is behind the car accident that almost killed Mrs. Browns?" One of the maid murmured in surprise.

Well, who wouldn't be surprised?

After all, Charlotte was always sweet and filial in front of people, especially to Mrs. Browns.

"Well, you know Mrs. Browns even gave money to her secretly after she was evicted. What a shame..." Another maid took a sigh and continued, "They are related sisters, but why Charlotte is such an evil and Rita is such an angel?"

"Right! Rita suffered so much back then, but she had never turned her back on the Browns. She is always here to help whenever the Browns is in trouble, but Charlotte..."

"Well, you know, this just proves the old saying. You never know what kind of person you are dealing with unless you go through something together."

"True!"

All the maids gossiped and shoot disdainful glance at Charlotte. They now actually viewed Rita in a new light with respect.

Especially Ted who had been managing the Browns for years. He now really admired and respected Rita more.

He even thought that Rita was somewhat similar to Old Mr. Brown. It looked like that Rita can be the one who would lead the Browns to a new path.

"Ted, call the police." Rita glanced at Charlotte coldly and said to the butler.

Hearing that Rita was going to call the police, Charlotte suddenly felt powerless and fell to the ground.

After pausing for a second, she hurriedly dropped to her knees and begged in tears, "Sister, I really know I'm wrong. I'm so sorry. I don't want to go to the prison."

"Don't call me sister. You are not my sister since the day you decided to harm me." Rita said indifferently

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, "I..."

"It's all your own doing."

Charlotte's face immediately turned pale and just froze because of Rita's coldness.

Soon the police came and brought Charlotte and other people away.

Rita took a sigh of relief when everything was over.

She finally partly revenged for what she suffered in the previous lifetime.

The resentment in her heart abated a bit because of this and she finally relaxed a bit.

Nothing serious happened in the next few days, except for the crying and yelling of Mason and Rose.

She didn't get to see Liam since the day she returned home.

She even resigned as the designer after the divorce.

Though they chose to keep the divorce as a secret temporarily, she really thought that she had nothing to do with Liam anymore inside.

"Rita, today your father will be discharged from the hospital. Remember to call Liam home this evening and let's celebrate this together." While sorting out Noah's stuff, Zoe said to Rita. Hearing her mother's words, Rita who was scrolling through the phone paused a bit.

Glancing at her parents, Rita said lowly, "Mom, he is pretty busy and won't have time to come."

"Well, he got to eat, right? Just call him." Zoe immediately knew that Rita was just randomly throwing an excuse and just answered.

Seeing that her mother was getting angry, Rita let out a wry smile.

Well, she just got a divorce with him. How can they just sit down and have dinner together?

It was time to tell mom and dad the truth.

Putting her phone away, Rita said seriously, "Mom, we got a divorce.

Both Noah and Zoe froze because of the shock.

Then they both landed their eyes on Rita confusedly.

"Di... divorce?" Zoe confirmed again unbelievably.

Rita then took the divorce paper from her bag, "Yes. We got this on the day I left for that business trip." Looking at the steel seal on the paper, Zoe's face darkened, "Rita, are you really in love with that Oliver?" "You... I really don't know how to say this. You will for sure regret this!" Zoe looked at Rita anxiously. Rita let out a wry smile, "Mom, I really don't love Oliver."

"Don't lie to me! You admitted it yourself!"

"Well, I lied on purpose so you and dad can be mentally prepared." Seeing that Zoe didn't believe her, Rita explained the whole story to her.

Hearing her explanation, Zoe took a sigh of relief inside.

So Rita was just lying and wasn't morally wrong.

But Zoe still felt bad about this divorce thing.

"Rita, you were so in love with Liam before. How come... how come you just decided to divorce?"

"Well, mom, I used every ounce of me to love him and wasn't loved back. I'm really tired and want to give up." Rita leaned herself against Zoe comfortably and said sweetly, "I think mom you are right. We girls need to learn to love ourselves first before we love someone else."

Hearing that her own words were used against herself, Zoe got awkward, "But... I just feel that Liam is really in love with you recently."

"Right, Rita. Do you want to reconsider this?" Noah also chimed in.

Rita rejected lightly, "Well, it is too late. I don't love him anymore."

It was already too late...

The ward become quiet because of Rita's words.

In the meantime, Liam who was standing outside the door heard the whole conversation.

He paused and looked at Rita's delicate side face through the glass gloomily.

"Liam, you got a divorce with Rita?" Jacob turned around and met Liam's cold face.

Retracting his look back, Liam said indifferently, "Yes."

"Great! I have to celebrate this tonight!"

Thinking that Rita finally got out of this bitterness, Jacob got excited and spilled out the truth.

But he soon felt that he was being glared at.

Realizing that he said it wrong, Jacob hurriedly forced back the smile.

He immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Um... what was she thinking? How come that she can leave a gorgeous man like you? She must be an idiot..."

But Liam shoot him a cold glance before he can even finish his sentence, so Jacob can only change his words.

"Don't be mad, Liam. I said it wrong. I meant to say that I am an idiot, not your sweetheart."

Liam's face brightened a bit and went into the ward.

Looking at Liam's tall back, Jacob let out a sigh of relief.

It was good that he was quivk-witted.

But why Liam was still protecting Rita after she left him? What an idiot!

In the meantime, Liam had opened the door and entered the ward.

Hearing the door sound, Rita thought that it was the butler and turned around, "Ted, is the car here? we..."

Rita immediately froze when she saw Liam's face. 00000000000☐☐☐
