Chapter 147 Don’t Be Good to Her

Looking at Liam, Rita was surprised.

“You... You are okay with this?”

“Start striving.”

Liam didn’t answer her question but spoke to the driver coldly.

The car then deviated from its original course and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Rita didn’t come to herself for a while.

She didn’t understand why Liam would agree with her all of a sudden, but she was still excited thinking
that this marriage was finally over.

Because of Liam’s consent, the divorce procedure was completed pretty quickly.

They both got the divorce certificate fifteen minutes after they went into the Bureau.

Looking at the divorce paper, Rita was relived.

It was finally over.

Her real rebirth started now.

Putting away the divorce certificate, Rita looked at the cold-faced Liam and said, “Thank you.”

Than you?

Hearing these two words, Liam felt painful inside.

Liam’s face was as indifferent as ever, but he was actually squeezing the divorce paper hard secretly.



“Let’s just keep this divorce thing between us for now. It will affect the sale of this season’s flagship
diamond. I will announce the divorce to the public when the time’s right.”

“Okay, it’s up to you.” Rita nodded.

Sensing the joy that Rita clearly can’t hide after the divorce, Liam felt complex inside.

He forced himself to retract his look from Rita and walked outside indifferently.

After they got the divorce paper, the communication between them became less.

But this time, it was not only Rita who was quiet, Liam was also silent.

Not only was he silent, his eyes were also fierce and cold.

The staff members were even afraid to come forward and approach him.

The two didn’t speak on the way to the airport and didn’t even talk with each other after they got to the
Country C apart from the work stuff.

The day before the return trip, some staff members urged Liam to give them a treat at the bar.

Because they had signed a big deal, as the boss, Liam naturally agreed to reward them.

When it was at the night, all the colleagues in the company went to the bar to celebrate. But Rita who
was never a big fan of huge crowd chose to rest in the hotel.

Then it started sprinkling outside.

Rita’s left leg started having throbbing pain because of the moisture in the air.



She usually can be strong and toughed it out, but because what happened on the snow mountain, the
condition of her left leg became worse to the point that she can’t deal with the pain.

Curling up on the sofa, her face was all pale because of the pain.

Then the room door was suddenly opened and Liam who was supposed to be celebrating with the staff
returned.

What was he doing here?

Looking at Liam, Rita was surprised.

But she then regained her cool quickly.

Liam was always indifferent and would probably just sit quietly in the bar.

Though he was the one who would pay the bill, it would be difficult for other people to have fun while he
was around.

Maybe he had realized this and came back so that those people can have a blast.

“Are your foot aching?” While Rita was wondering, Liam had approached her and stared at her left foot.

“Yes...” Rita nodded and forced a smile, “But I’m all okay now.”

But at the next second, her whole body started twitching because if the sharp pain. Her forehead even
oozed out some sweat.

Seeing that she was in agony Liam left the room.

But he returned in a while with a white medicine bottle in his hand.



He handed the pills to her and said, “You would feel better after having this.”

“Thank you...”

After hesitating for a while, Rita finally took the pills.

Seeing that she had taken the pills, Liam retracted his look from her.

At the very next second, he stooped and started rubbing her left foot with his hands, “Are you feeling
better?”

Rita’s body got intense because of the skin to skin contact.

She bit her lips and tried to draw her foot back.

But Liam just pulled it back.

Knowing that there was no way to change his decision, Rita stopped struggling.

Leaning against the sofa, Rita actually felt hilarious that Liam was doing this sort of things for her.

He was so indifferent to her before, but now, he was being so considerate.

Didn’t he get angry because of the divorce thing and decide to ignore her?

Why was he being so nice to her like he was before today?

Rita muttered, “Did you drink?”

“No”

“Okay.” This was even weirder.



But of course she just can’t ask him why, so there was no way to find out.

Rita thought inside that maybe he felt that he was partly responsible for her injured leg.

Maybe he was guilty?

Well, probably.

After the pain subsided a bit, Rita quickly retracted her foot and said, “I’m okay now, thank you.”

Liam didn’t say anything this time and just went back to his room.

Looking at his cold back, Rita spoke after thinking for a while, “Liam.”

Hearing her words, Liam froze.

“You saved me back on the snow mountain, so you don’t actually owe me anything now. Don’t feel
guilty because of my left foot. I don’t have hatred for you, so you don’t have to be nice to me anymore.”

Liam didn’t respond and just left.

Stop being nice to her?

Well, he wanted to do that,

But... but he can’t control what his heart desired.

Like when he saw it was raining outside, he started worrying if her foot was aching. It seemed like
loving her and caring for her had become an instinct.

Standing in front of the French window, Liam watched the downpour outside. His face was serious.



“Grandpa, I’ve done what you asked me. I got a divorce with Rita and let her go...”

But grandpa, it really hurt inside.

But if she was happy, it was all worth it.

Right, grandpa?

On the next day, Rita returned home with Liam and the rest of the crew.

They went back to their own homes after getting off the plane.

Rita noticed that there were two cars parking in the yard as soon as she went home.

One of the car was Charlotte’s and as for the other car, she hadn’t seen it before.

“Rita, what a perfect timing.” Seeing that she was back, the butler hurriedly went forward and took the
suitcase.

Glancing at the man and woman sitting in the living room, he whispered, “Charlotte brought a lawyer
with her this time and said that she wanted to divide the family fortune equally.”

“How shameless.”

Rita stopped and looked at Ted, “Did you investigate the thing that I asked you to do before I left?”

“You guessed it right. Someone really went to Jack Nicholson after you boarded the plane and at the
very next day, he received a big cash and resigned. I’ve arranged somebody to spy on them as you
told me to and can interrogate them about who rigged the car right now.”

Ted then found a file on his phone and showed it to her, “Rita, this is the whole profile of that man who
approached Jack.”



Rita was taken aback by this name.

This name... Was he...

She then looked at the screen hurriedly and was in shock after she saw the man’s photo on the phone.

It was really Brian Burton, Charlotte’s husband in the previous lifetime.

So it was true that Charlotte asked somebody to rig the car.

Rita came to herself and said, “Ted, bring this man over with Jack. We should find out what is really
going on before the whole family and see who was fighting dirty.”

“Do you know what really happened now?” Ted was surprised.

Rita smiled and looked at the Charlotte, “Well, as chance would have it, I know a bit now. Ted, just do
what I said and bring them over.”

“Okay.”

After Ted left, Rita regained her cool and entered the room.

She was going to have a real confrontation with Charlotte today.
