Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 140

Rita was threatening her with her powerful statement. The ward was like experiencing a heavy storm.

But she stood still without any action, which scared Charlotte.

After Rita woke up from the fever, she was like another person.

In the past, Charlotte scorned her and considered her just a little smart but now she became her fatal enemy.

Charlotte tried her best to be less fear and pretended to be innocent, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I think, that your father is lying in the ward has nothing to do with me.”

Hearing her denial, Rita was not surprised, “Didn’t you plan to make my father and grandma attacked in the car accident?”

“Oh, how can you say that?” Charlotte became solemn suddenly, “Why me? Do you have any evidence?”Noticing her silence, Charlotte understood that Rita had no evidence.

‘So why is she so brave to look down upon me?’ Charlotte thought.

Charlotte stood straight with mockery, “Mind your word. Otherwise, I will sue you for defamation.”Charlotte slammed the door behind her and left.

Looking at the door, Rita smiled meaningfully.

She took out her phone and called someone, “Do you bring him here?”

“Yes. And he is guarded by us in the car according to your order.”

“Ok, bring him to me, please.” She said to Ted.

She hung up the phone and walked to the balcony.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she spotted Charlotte in a pink dress in the crowd.

At this moment, at the gate, Ted was pushing a man forward.

Charlotte was about to meet the man face to face, which pleased Rita who was smiling brightly. “What a good time.”

As she expected, those people walked past each other.

Casually, Charlotte looked at the stranger’s face, which frightened her and her face became whitened.

Not only she but also her father, Mason, was stunned.

“Charlotte… do you recognize him? The housekeeper is pushing Jack Nicholson to the hospital.”

“Yes.”

“Damn it. What we have done to the car is going to be revealed… I think we must escape right now.” Mason was anxious with a frightened face.

But Charlotte turned as calm as usual. She looked down upon her father, “Hold on. We should wait and see what will happen.”

“But…”

“We now go back home and try to figure out Rita’s conspiracy.”

Mason was going to say something but he was interrupted by Charlotte who dragged him out of the hospital.

They didn’t know that their reaction was witnessed by Rita.

Although she could not hear their conversation, their expression and response at the sight of the car mender of the automobile sales service shop was the evidence. She now believed that the car accident was arranged by Charlotte and Mason.

At the window, Rita narrowed her eyes coldly.

Meanwhile, the housekeeper with Jack arrived.

“Miss Brown.”

Rita simply nodded.

Rita hid her cruelty and smiled when turning back, “Thank you, Ted. I want to talk with Mr. Nicholson privately.”

“OK, you can call me at any time you want.”

Ted nodded and left.

The door was slightly closed by him.

Now Rita was left with Amelia who lost her mind, and the mender in the room.

The mender looked at the girl who was smiling, and trembled, “Miss Brown…what do you want me to do?”Staring at him, Rita was in silence.

Her speechlessness frightened him who was sweating.

What’s wrong?

She asked someone to send him here and said nothing?

A minute passed.

And two minutes.

Soon, half an hour passed and Rita finally spoke, “Ted, bring him away.”

Jack was stupefied. What happened?

“Mr. Nicholson.” When he was abstracted, the housekeeper walked in and asked him to leave. He became sober.

He nodded and walked out confusedly.

Sending Jack away, Ted came back to Rita, “Miss Brown, he returned to the shop. And I have also transfered him a million dollars to his new bank account.”

“Well. Ask someone to follow and observe him all day. What he does and whom he meets should be told to me.”

“I get it.”Ted looked at the girl, asking curiously in a low tone, “Miss Brown, can we now find out the criminal who harmed Mrs. Miller?”

“What we should do is just waiting.”

She was not sure that this method worked but she wanted to try all the possibly effective ones.

Whoever took part in arranging this accident would be dragged out by her.

And he or she would not be able to escape.

After that, Rita asked Ted to stay to take care of Amelia for it’s time for her to go to the university.

When she just went downstairs, her phone rang.

Looking at the name, Jacob, appearing in the phone screen, she frowned.

As is known to all, Jacob disliked her. But he now called her, which was a surprise.

After a couple of seconds, she answered the phone.

Jacob cleared his throat and said seriously, “Our company was invited to attend the res exhibition of jewelries in the C City. And you are chosen as the representative of our company, which is a good chance for you to advertise your diamond for free.”

“Must I go there?” Rita frowned.

Jacob was unpleased, “It’s your diamond. Do you hope that we send someone else there?”

Questioned by him, Rita continued frowning.

Now the family was at stake, and she was afraid that Charlotte and her companions would take some actions against her if she was not here.

But there may be a turning point to her.

Besides, the res exhibition was the top one in the circle of jewelry design.

Many people dreamed of attending it so she was actually unwilling to miss this good chance of connecting and learning from the masters there.

Most importantly, it’s her first masterpiece that could be introduced there. The opportunity was priceless.

After her contemplation, she nodded, “Well. Send me the time and the place of departure.”

“OK.”

Jacob nodded and hung up the phone.

He looked at Liam sitting on the sofa, and said, “Liam, you are too partial. There are a lot of designers in our company more skillful than her. And you just gave her the only chance. I think others might be jealous and angry.”

“Jealous and angry?” Liam looked at him.

Jacob misunderstood his meaning. Liam finally knew it’s harmful to be partial, he thought. So he added and exaggerated, “Yes. She is a newcomer here, working in our company for at most a half year. She is not the one who is the most qualified according to the experience and skill. But you chose her. Other designers must be jealous and angry.”

“If someone is not satisfied with my decision, then I will sack him or her.” So finally nobody would be jealous and angry.

Jacob could not believe what he had heard, and nearly fell down.

What?

“How many people are sent there?” Ignoring Jacob’s facial expression of dissatisfaction, Liam asked peacefully.

Jacob counted and answered, “Ten, including me.”

“You should stay here and run the corporation.” Leaning on the chair, Liam said slowly, “I will be the leader for you.”

Jacob was amazed this time. ‘Liam, you abuse your power! Do you have any conscience?’ He complained inwardly.
