Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 53

In the light, Rita was enveloped in the shadow of Liam. At that moment, she was not afraid, but surprised at the man in front of her. Her mind went blank. ‘Did Liam block the mineral water bottle for her? He’s... He’s helping her!’

The bottle of mineral water hit the man on the back with a clunk. It sounded very painful, but there was no change on his cold face. He just looked at the woman in his arms coolly. Something imperceptible flickered in his eyes.

“Are you okay?” Suddenly he spoke. Rita just came to her sense. She forced herself to take her eyes back from his face. “Yes...”

Making sure she was okay, Liam let go of her. He turned, and the dark eyes swept to the crowd.

Suddenly, a strong sense of pressure came. Those who had just been clamoring for Rita to get out, suddenly became silent. None of them dared to be reckless again. They were afraid that the man on the stage who ate people without blinking would smash their bones, with nothing left.

“What proof do you have that my wife secure advantages through pull or influence?” Suddenly, the man picked up the microphone and spoke.

There was no anger in his voice. But with his voice, the scalp tingled. The crowd could not help gulping. The atmosphere held their breath.

In F City, everyone knew his strong hand. To provoke him was similar to provoke the bloodthirsty Sura in the hell. And there would be only one end that was death!

“You threw the water bottle. Don’t look at, that’s you! What makes you say that my wife’s achievement has been made by virtue of our relationship? !” The man repeated, staring at Duke.

On one side, Rita was stunned. She turned to the tall man beside her, with her eyes widening and astonishment on her face.

‘In the past, the last thing he wanted was that she revealed her identity publicly as Mrs. Wilson. He wished to disassociate himself from her! But what’s going on today? He calls her his wife!’

Just when she was suspicious, the man stretched out his big hand to her. Before she reacted, she felt her waist a tight. Then she was taken into his arms by Liam. “!!!”

They bumped together. Her body suddenly tensed and the heart also skipped a beat.

"You... You admit that she is your wife. What else can I say?" Liam stared at Duke coldly. Thus, Duke swallowed nervously. Although he spoke with a little tough tone, his voice obviously trailed off.

"So can’t she take part in the design competition as my wife?" Liam asked with a sneer.

Duke was stunned and quickly retorted, "But everyone in the University of F City knows that she has poor basis skills. There are records on her class attendance in the school. How is it possible for a student going to school two months before the competition to win the prize?”

"What's more, Charlotte, acknowledged by the school, is the most qualified one among the contestants of the university. However, she did not win the first place, even the top 15! Excuse me, why? Is it necessary to give an explanation? "

Duke was more determined as he said, and even reached out and pulled Charlotte up.

"Duke, not getting the place means that my design is not good enough. Don't quarrel with Liam. Let's go back." Charlotte stood up, disassociating herself from this disturbance completely with a word.

But Duke still thought that Charlotte was so kind that she would not like to clash with Rita. Duke looked down on Rita. They are sisters. Why one is so kind, but the other tries to get something for nothing!

Duke sneered at Rita and looked at Liam. "Mr. Wilson, please answer the two questions I mentioned above."

All of a sudden, the people under the stage fixed their eyes on the two people on the stage. Except for the crowd, the cameras also focused on them.

Looking at those skeptical eyes, Rita knew that she had to give an explanation today. Only in this way would they be convinced.

Taking a deep breath, she started walking forward. But next second, she felt her waist a tight again. "Liam?" She looked up at him in amazement.

The man looked down at her and said calmly, "You just need to stand beside me. Don't be hit by others and leave other things to me!"

She was surprised. At that moment, she could only see his domineering temperament. If she didn't have the experience of the last life, maybe she would be moved by him. But now, she was surprised for one second and then became indifferent.

‘He should be just for show in front of the public. After all, if she is attacked, she will also get the Wilson family into trouble. And then the Wilson family's stock will plummet. So, she'll stay beside him. In this way, she will save both time and effort, and settle their doubts with ease.’

"My wife has poor basic skills?" Liam suddenly sneered. "If I remember correctly, when she took the art examination, she ranked the top three in the art major to be admitted to the School of Design in the University of F City! Sir, I ask you. Does she have a poor foundation?"

"But you can't deny that she didn't go to school for nearly a year. Besides, in the professional assessment, she handed in a blank examination paper.” Duke unyieldingly questioned again.

"I don't deny what you said. But I don't think it's necessary to study professional courses in school. She can do it at home!"

Liam said coolly. Duke certainly did not go for it. "Impossible! Do you think her a prodigy? Liam, you’re talking nonsense! "

"She's not a prodigy, but she has an excellent professional teacher." "Who?" "Me. I have won many jewelry design awards in international competitions!"

Liam’s attainments in design were obvious to all in F City. Having him as a teacher is the same as studying in school? The only difference may be that he teaches better and more useful than teacher in school.

Suddenly, people's questioning eyes gradually became approving looks. "So it is. No wonder Rita has the courage not to go to school." "Yes, yes, Liam taught personally. So many people long for that!"

Suddenly, the advantage of public on his side became weak. Duke pursed his lips nervously and began to feel diffident.

But seeing Charlotte, who was tearful aside, he had tremendous spirit. "How do you say about Charlotte? With her strength, she was not worse than Rita. But she can't even get a place! "

Liam sneered and looked at Charlotte. "I'm afraid that you have to ask your goddess." Charlotte was stunned and dazed. "Liam, what do you mean?"

Liam was not surprised at her denial. He ignored her and looked at the petite woman around him. "Wife?" "Yep." Rita obviously did not get used to it. Stunned for a second, she responded in cooperation.

"Sorry." Liam slowly said. Rita was confused again, "What?" At this time, his thin lips suddenly met her forehead. He was unexpectedly gentle. "Don't blame me." She suddenly froze.

Standing in the spotlight, she looked at the man surprisedly. She shouted in her mind: ‘Liam, what are you doing?’

He didn't seem to perceive confusion in her eyes. He turned to Charlotte and said coldly, "It's impossible to offer the design award to plagiarism!" Plagiarism?!

The word, like a deep-water bomb, exploded in the whole venue. At the moment, Charlotte’s face immediately turned white.
