Hearing such ambiguous words, Rita immediately looked at the man who held her.
Oliver?
Why was he here?
She tried to stand firmly with so many questions.
However, she left a thank and wanted to keep away from him.
At the same time, Oliver grabbed her hand and kept her by his side.
“Why are you acting like a stranger?”
“We are strangers.”
Rita frowned.
Oliver pursed his mouth and complained, “I’ll feel sad if you say so.”
Rita felt awkward hearing his nauseating word.
Just as she wanted to refute, there was a sudden chill behind her. Almost instantly, she realized that
Liam came behind her.
Perhaps, in her previous life, she cared too much about him, so that in this life, she could still feel his
strong aura rapidly.
In the meanwhile, she felt the pain coming from the other hand.
And then she was pulled by Liam.
Seeing this, Oliver, who was beside Rita, squinted up her eyes and put forth his strength secretly on
the hand which was grabbing Rita.
For a moment, Rita was pulled by them.
Because of the equal power, she was stranded in the middle of them.
At that moment, two of them was making eye contact and it seemed like there would be an explode in
the air because of their anger towards each other.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wilson.” Oliver watched Liam, put a fake smile on his face, and gave a hard pull
on Rita.
Feeling his pulling, Liam narrowed his eyes, looking gloomy. He said, “Let go.”
“Why?” Oliver smiled with danger behind it and said, “You should let her choose where to go.”
They darted a stare to each other and watched Rita at the same time.
Rita didn’t want to join their fight but she had no choice.
"My dessert, let's go. I'll treat you to coffee."
Before she could react, Oliver tried to take her away.
As soon as she moved a little bit, she felt the great anger of Liam which made her frightened.
In the previous life, his violence had been deep into her memories, so that this life she was still afraid of
him.
However, soon later she got rid of this scare.
Even though she was not afraid of Liam, she still pushed Oliver away and took Liam's arm on her own
and said, "Oliver, thank you for your kindness, but I have family affairs to deal with today. I'm sorry."
With the smile on his face gradually became stiffed, Oliver embarrassingly took his hand back.
"If there is nothing else, my husband and I should leave now." Rita nodded politely and took Liam to the
Brown family which was being surrounded.
Oliver stood there and gravely saw them leaving.
And now, being held by Rita by the arm, Liam was comforted for a little bit.
*****
The Brown family was being surrounded by the reporters.
"Miss Brown, do you want to say something about the plagiarism incident in the design contest?"
“Miss Brown, please answer the question.”
“Miss Brown!”
All the reporters were staring at Charlotte.
Charlotte, who was surrounded in the middle, covered her face and hid behind Mason.
Because she had been hiding from answering, these entertainment reporters were still not willing to
leave. There was one question after another. It seemed that they wanted to keep asking until she
answered.
“Miss Brown, please answer.”
“Miss Brown!”
The reporters came forward again. Suddenly, Amelia was hit by someone and her crutch was crooked
and she stumbled.
Seeing this, Charlotte was in panic. She supported her to stand firmly and asked, "Grandma, are you
okay?"
“Do you think that I’m okay?” Amelia asked in an angry tone.
Charlotte felt guilty and stopped her hands.
Amelia pushed her away and said, “You’d better get rid of these annoying flies before you come to the
hotel.”
“Yes.” Watching Amelia leaving, Charlotte nodded with her eyes full of tears.
Rita raised her brows when she saw what happened between Amelia and Charlotte.
Finally, Charlotte faced her own karma.
She should have experienced the disgrace and the tortures that she gave her in the previous life.
Rita stopped and indifferently watched Charlotte being surrounded by the reporters.
Liam, who was beside Rita, stopped as well.
He looked down to her and asked, “What did she do that made you hate your sister so much?”
Rita frowned and watched Charlotte whose reputation was ruined.
Sister?
She didn’t have such a disgusting sister.
“Rita?” Seeing Rita was absent-minded, Liam called her name again.
She was back from her wandering mind, narrowed her eyes and smiled, “I didn’t have any sister.”
Liam was astonished. And the emotion in his eyes became complicated.
What made Rita, who was always protecting Charlotte, changed and said this?
He became more and more curious about what Rita had experienced and why she would change like
this.
Then Rita was called to the hotel by Amelia.
When Charlotte finally dismissed the reporters, she was tired and leaned against the wall.
At the same time, she got a phone call from Amelia.
"Grandma, I've finished here. I'll go to the hotel right now." Charlotte stood up in a hurry and went to the
road to stop a taxi.
“There is no need for you to come.”
Then Amelia hung out the phone.
Charlotte was stiffed immediately. Listening to the beep in the phone, she pulled a long face, looking
extremely grave.
No need to come!
Amelia even didn’t want to make a lie to her!
Charlotte sneered with her eyes full of great anger.
She threw her cell phone on the ground and screamed angrily, "Ah! God damn Rita! You ruined my life!
You ruined all my efforts! I swear, I won't let you get easy!"
The mobile phone fell to the ground with the screen broken rolled to the foot of a pair of travel shoes.
Isabelle glanced at the mobile phone on the ground and looked at Charlotte, "Are you okay?"
"What are you doing here?" Charlotte knitted her brows and looked around in a panic. When no one
was around, she pulled Isabelle to a deserted alley.
"I've told you don't come to me! Why don't you listen?" Charlotte complained and stared at Isabelle.
Isabelle pursed her lips and asked, "I need money. I have borrowed money from all of my friends.
There is nothing I can do. I have to come to you. Can you lend me 300 thousands yuan?"
"300 thousands?" Charlotte frowned and hesitated for a while, but finally she picked up her cellphone
and said, "I give you 20 thousands first, and make up the rest tomorrow."
“Okay. Thanks!” Isabelle was so excited and her eyes turned red.
With this money, she could let her mother continue to take the cure in hospital.
However, when Charlotte was about to enter the transfer password of her credit card, it showed that
her card had been frozen.
How was that possible?
This was a credit card specially given to her as a gift by Amelia. The amount of it was several hundred
thousand!
She tried it again but gained the same result.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her face so blue, Isabelle asked anxiously.
Charlotte did not answer, but directly called the bank.
"Excuse me, why can't I use my credit card?"
"Hello, your secondary card was frozen just 20 minutes ago." The answer from the customer service
staff made her nervous. She asked, "Who did this?"
"The main card holder, Amelia Brown."
Charlotte’s face immediately turned pale.
She quickly hung up the phone, and then madly called the customer service of another bank. The
result was the same. Her cards were frozen.
“Charlotte!”
Charlotte suddenly brought back to herself and looked at Isabelle. She cheered up and said with a
smile, "Isabelle, I've used up the amount of my credit card. You go home first and wait for me. I'll send
the money to you later."
"But... Well, you must give it to me before three o'clock."
“Okay. I see.”
Charlotte left in a hurry.
******
After lunch, Rita went back to the hospital.
Liam glanced at the woman beside him and looked forwards again.
What a stubborn woman!
Although she was rejected by Isabelle in the morning, she just didn't want to give up.
She really didn’t change a bit and was still as the same as she pestered him for his attention in that
year they just met. It was quite cute.
Liam was surprised that he should regard her as a cute woman.
He must be crazy.
He felt fidgety being like this. At the same time, he unconsciously speeded up the car.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Slow down!" with the body being backward for inertia, Rita grasped the
safety belt.
After receiving her complaint, Liam realized he lost his temper and got himself out of control just now.
He made great efforts to calm down and slowed down the car.
"Liam, what's the matter with you?" Liam was driving the car steadily, but Rita didn't dare to let go of
the seat belt.
She turned her head and watched the man beside her confusedly.
Liam didn’t answer her question but looked straight and drove the car slowly.
She didn't bother to continue since he was not going to answer her question.
In this way, they were both in silence.
Half lying on the seat, Rita looked at the view outside the window. Gradually, she felt sleepy.
So, she fell asleep in her seat.
When Liam stopped the car in the parking lot, Rita, who fell asleep, crushed herself on his right arm.
Liam was surprised and stiffed. He turned around and watched her.
Under the sun, her fair, ruddy and pretty face drew all his attention.
Liam raised his hand, gently pinned the hair on her face behind her ear, and then began to smile while
watching her.
It wasn't until he chuckled that he realized that he was attracted to Rita again.
He frowned with his eyes full of complex emotions. Staring Rita’s pretty little face, he smiled again.
“Rita, you got me.”
