Chapter228 Contempt with a Capital C

Chapter228 Contempt with a Capital CLiam said coolly that he would no longer outsource this project to the West, as if he was merely talking
about the weather.
But what he said was like a bombshell to others.
Especially for Leyla, who was gripped by panic. “Mr. Wilson, the West has worked for this project for
years. Though there’s no remarkable achievement for now, the West has made a great contribution to
it.
Freddy jolted at Liam’s words – The West was also involved.
Considering his own interest, Freddy could not turn a blind eye to that.
“Mr. Wilson, I apologize if Leyla upset you and Miss Brown. But as for the work, could you please think
about it again? the West has worked for the project for so many years. If you suddenly give this project
to others, it should take time to run in properly, which may delay the development and construction of
the land.
It’s not a big deal for us to waste some time, but you may suffer a huge loss for that…”
Standing next to them, Rita had heard how Freddy persuaded Liam to change his mind.
Though she disliked Freddy, she had to admit what he had said was persuasive.
And she started to think about it carefully after hearing his words.
After all, no one would want to lose his money.
Compared to hundreds of billions of dollars, her feelings were not that important.It was the enmity between her and Leyla, and she did not want Liam’s project to be affected because of
that.
Some people in the Wilson family had already thought she was a good-for-nothing encumbrance to
them.
So she could not let Liam endure any losses for her.
Otherwise…
She would really become the “the Hellen of Wilson” as Jonathan had said.
It was the critical time to choose Mrs. Wilson, and she should not make trouble now.
Thinking of that, Rita looked at the man at her side, her lips lightly parted. “Let it…” go.
“That’s very persuasive.”
Rita did not finish her words, but Liam interrupted her.
She had a look at his impassive face and thought he must want to smooth things over as well.
While she was still thinking about what Liam would do, he added slowly, “But, she is different!”
The next second, she was pulled into his arms.
“She is the one that is more important than my life, and she cannot be measured by money.”
Rita lifted her head straight away. And her eyes rounded when she looked at his chiseled face.
His even voice pulled at her heartstrings with his every syllables.
Beautiful and moving.Rita could not help smiling.
But Freddy and Leyla was shocked – they did not expect that Rita was so important to Liam.
There might be some people in F City who did not meet Liam Wilson, but they must know his name
and his background.
Because the Wilson family was the top in this city.
It was an influential and powerful family that no one dared to offend, because one who was
antagonistic to the Wilsons would never be able to live in this city.
And who was Liam Wilson?
He was the lord of the Wilson family, the CEO of the Wilson Group.
novelbinHe had survived in the fierce competition for the master of the Wilson, so he must be very outstanding
no matter in intelligence, EQ or scheming.
Every lady in H City hoped to marry such an excellent man and racked their brains to marry into this
top family.
But they all failed.
However, Rita no only had married him, but also became the beloved one of this unfeeling man who
was really tough in business.
The onlookers started to looked at Rita with envy.
“Well, other’s husband has never disappointed me.”
A married woman in the crowd covered her chest, shotting a glare at the man by her side.While they were all envying Rita, someone exclaimed:
“It turns out that it isn’t Rita who tries hard to marry into the Wilson family.
It is Liam that is obsessed with this girl.”
“Yeah, right. Liam cares about her so much, and he doesn’t seem to loathe Rita at all. Why the hell
does he need the girl that grew up with him? Nuts! That’s certainly not true.”
“Wonder why people would start this rumor.”
They started to talk about the things Leyla had said, with their eyes fixed on Leyla.
And their eyes were mixed with suspicion, contempt and disdain.
“I know, she must have a grudge against Mrs. Wilson. Look how aggressive she has been. And I
almost believe her.”
“You’re right. Perhaps, Mrs. Wilson might have done something to offend her unconsciously, so she
would take this chance to humiliate Mrs. Wilson and start this nasty rumor that is not true at all.”
“She not only starts the rumor, but also looks down upon Mrs. Wilson.”
“Now she has to eat crow after humiliated by Mr. Wilson. Shame on her.”
“The one standing beside her seems Mr. Pearson. He seems a nice guy. Why would he fall for this
wicked woman? What a pity!”
“No, he must have bad taste, or he must be with her for something.”
They started to jeer at Leyla and Freddy, which was surging in the hall.Abashed and angered, Leyla almost lost her temper.
Freddy also blushed in embarrassment, then he kept away from this voluptuous but stupid woman
subconsciously.
They lost both their project and their faces.
But that was all. However, for the waitress who had jeered at Rita, she was frightened the hell out of
her.
Because this fancy restaurant was one of the companies owned by the Wilson Group.
The girl wearing cheap sweater was Mrs. Wilson.
Realizing that, the waitress jolted and dropped on the floor.
She grew pale and crawled to Rita, begging. “I was being disrespectful just now, but I didn’t know you
are Mrs. Wilson. You must be very magnanimous, please let go of me.”
Unnerved, she sounded close to cry. But Rita remained unmoved.
“You are too snobbish.”
“I…”
“Go get you money for this month and leave.” The restaurant did not need a waitress like her to
blacken the name and offend the guest.
Liam looked at Jacob, “Do as she said.
Jacob nodded, “OK.”Under the stare of others, Liam took Rita’s hand and went upstairs to leave this noisy hall.
Then Jacob, Nathan and Tomas followed behind them.
After they entered the room, Liam pulled out the chair beside him.
“Babe.”
Hearing that, Rita had a twitch on her lips. “Don’t call me that.”
Liam frowned.
Rita continued, “Gross.”
Jacob echoed, “Very gross.”
Nathan also said, “So gross that I even get goose bumps.”
Speechless, Tomas wondered whether he should follow them.
After thinking for a while, he did not say anything. But his look expressed his Contempt with a capital C
for Liam that was totally different with the one he was supposed to be.
