“She is there! Don’t let her go!”
A bald guy pointed at the south exit and a group of scoundrel liked thugs immediately chased after
Lillian.
Rita didn’t know how Lillian messed with this sort of people, but subconsciously she knew that Lillian
would end up in a terrible situation if they caught her.
Before she can even realize it, she had already kicked the trolley violently.
Just so it happened, the cart hit on the lap of the man who was leading the way. He immediately lost
balance and fell back which led to the tumbling of all the men behind him.
“What the fuck! Who just hit me? I’m going to kill you!” The bald guy cursed furiously and shoot cold
glance around to find who was responsible for this.
Just when he was about to land his eyes on Rita, she suddenly pressed Liam against the rack and
kissed him fervently before Liam can even realize it.
Liam’s eyes immediately widened.
Liam looked down at Rita’s clean face for a few seconds and quickly figured out that she was trying to
avoid suspicion.
Actually, Liam who was excellent at free combating didn’t give a shit about these scoundrels.
He would literally knock down them quickly.
But...
He much preferred Rita’s “gentle way” of avoiding fighting.
So Liam just looked at Rita smilingly to play along.
“F***. Do you think I’m dumb? This trolley was pushed out of your aisle!” The bald guy glared at them,
“Stop kissing! Bros, give them a good lesson!”
The bald guy ordered and all of his minions immediately charged at Rita and Liam.
Seeing that they were going to be all physical, Liam’s eyes suddenly got ruthless.
He pulled Rita and hid her behind his back and directly kicked the man who was rushing at them.
The man was instantly kicked away and hit racks.
Some of the items on the shelf immediately fell to the ground because of the shock and pounded on
the man.
That man even started screeching out of pain because of the smash.
Looking at the man’s awkward action, Rita suddenly let out a giggle.
Rita hurriedly grabbed Liam and escaped the supermarket amid chaos without the bald man’s noticing.
“Whew, we really got lucky that they didn’t catch up.” Rita breathed for fresh air and looked happy.
She was looking behind, but Liam was staring at her.
She met Liam’s eyes after she turned around, “What... what happened...”
Liam suddenly kissed her on the lips before she can even finish the sentence.
Unlike the French kisses before, Liam just pecked her jelly-like lips and let her go.
Staring at Rita, Liam said, “You don’t have to dance around next time if you want to cheer me up. You
don’t have to say anything and just kiss me like you did in the supermarket just now.”
Hearing his words, Rita got embarrassed for a second because Liam could read her thought.
But then the embarrassment was replaced by Liam’s love whisper.
Rita’s face immediately blushed scarlet.
She then just turned around to avoid Liam’s gazing and stepped towards her small Polo, pretending
that she didn’t hear a thing.
But right after she turned her back at Liam, she can’t help smiling.
Rita then suddenly bumped into a familiar figure.
Looking at Lillian who was hiding behind an off-road vehicle anxiously, Rita froze.
They three then went to a hot pot restaurant.
The water in the pot had been boiling for a while, but they all didn’t try to make the first move.
Rita looked at Lillian and broke the silence, “Who were they? Why were they chasing after you?”
“They were loan sharks.” Lillian answered the question honestly.
Rita was pretty confused. “How come that you would mess with them?”
Though the Burkes is not as wealthy and influential as the Wilsons, they are somewhat rich.
Even though Lillian was desperate for money, there was no need to take a loan from moneylenders.
“The Burkes went broke. My parents were struggling in Country C, so they got no time to take care of
my things. I maxed out my credit card before and was unable to pay it back in time, so I had the idea of
taking loans temporarily.”
Lillian first just wanted to take a small loan so that she can have time to think of other ways, but she
didn’t expect that amount of interest would be so much to the point that it even surpassed the principal.
In the end, Lillian was really unable to repay.
Though Rita smashed the Burkes villa for Lillian, she really didn’t patch things up with Lillian.
Because Lillian just left the hospital on the second day without telling Rita. Rita even had to pay the
hospital bills for her.
So Rita didn’t really know what happened to Lillian and why the Burkes went bankruptcy. She was in
total shock. “Why would the Burkes go broke?”
“Michael took advantage of my trust and rigged one of Burke’s project. The building that the Burkes
was constructing collapsed and injured dozens of builders. Michael then just swooped in and replaced
my father while he was trying to handle this accident.”
Hearing Lillian’s explanation, Rita was taken aback.
Michael schemed the Burkes who raised him up?
He wouldn’t be cruel enough to ruin the Burkes just because what Lillian did to him that night, so there
must be something that she had no idea about.
But Liam’s eyes were filled with complex sentiment after he heard what Michael did to the Burkes.
Rita was paying attention to Lillian the whole time, so naturally she didn’t notice Liam’s weirdness.
She didn’t ask further and just looked at Lillian, “How much do you owe to them?”
“Six million yuan.” Lillian bit her lips.
Rita frowned hearing this figure.
She really didn’t have enough money to help Lillian.
Letting out sigh, she shoved a credit card to Lillian, “Here is one million yuan. You can use it first.”
Lillian suddenly looked up because of Rita’s words.
Glancing at the credit card on the table, her eyes welled up and looked at Rita.
She really thought that Rita would never talk to her after what happened last time.
She didn’t really expect that Rita would be the one who helped her repeatedly at her worst times.
Though Rita was sharp-tongued, she actually had the softest heart.
Lillian was really ashamed at herself now.
She felt this overwhelming guilt storming at her, “Rita... you... I...”
She really didn’t know what to say at this point.
She just burst out crying at the next moment, “Thank you. I really can’t take this money.”
“Don’t puff yourself up at your own cost.”
“Don’t worry about me. I had thought this through. I would go find Michael and ask him to pay this for
me once I’m full.”
Hearing Lillian’s plan, Rita let out a light laugh, “Are you stupid? You really think that he would give you
such an amount of money?”
Since he was the one who ruined the Burkes, there was no way he would help Lillian at this point.
Lillian smiled, “I’m sure he will.”
He had to!
Michael took way more six million yuan from the Burkes!
He owed this to her.
If he dared not to give her money, she really wouldn’t mind letting him die young...
