Sweet Divorce

Chapter69 Revenge on Charlotte

"We will go through the divorce formalities in a year." Liam said slowly. Rita was obviously stunned.

‘What? One year later? How can this work!’

She worked hard to find evidence, just for divorce and get rid of the predicament!

Now he wanted her to wait. She couldn't do it!

Although she resisted in her mind, she still asked rationally, "Why?"

"Grandfather's health is very bad recently. The doctor said that if he takes good care of it, he can only live one year. So..." Liam paused, and looked at Rita.

In the prior life, Grandpa Jim was nice to her. Naturally, she also regarded him as her own grandfather.

Therefore, when Liam mentioned these, she was caught as if a snake was hit where it hurt!

All of a sudden, her refusal changed abruptly. "So, you want me to divorce you first, and play a loving couple in front of my grandfather, so that Grandpa Jim can pass away without any worry?"

"Yes." Liam nodded and added, "As long as you promise, when we divorce in a year, I will divide 30% of my property to you as compensation."

"Grandpa Jim treats me well. It's my duty to repay him. So, there's no need to compensate me." She looked up at Liam. "Except for these, anything else?"

"... No." Liam shook his head.

"Then, sign it." Rita once again brought things back on track.

Liam looked at her delicate face and felt slightly. He pinched the divorce agreement hard unconsciously.

He picked up the carbon pen. After a long pause, he signed his name.

When she got the divorce agreement, Rita smiled brightly and said, "Thank you."

‘Thank you?’ These two words hurt him. He clenched hands once again. His heart was full of self mockery.

‘How could he match these two words. He didn't deserve it.

He had been looking forward to divorce. But today as he signed the agreement, he was not as happy as he imagined, but a little heavy-hearted.

After negotiation, Rita put away the divorce agreement, and limped to her bed on the floor.

"Rita!" All of a sudden, Liam’s low voice came behind her. She stopped and looked at him in doubt. "Well?"

"You can sleep on bed in the future."

He changed their quilt and then slept on the floor.

Seeing this, Rita was obviously stunned.

But soon, she was indifferent again.

They slept with their backs to each other. Soon Rita fell asleep, while Liam lost sleep again on the ground.

He looked at the thin Rita on the bed with mixing feelings.

***

The next day. In the school.

Rita came to school as usual.

She still chose a seat in an corner. As soon as she sat down, she heard the two in front of her commented, "Did you see the video about Charlotte in our school forum?"

‘Charlotte?’ Hearing the name, Rita’s hand with the textbook paused.

"You mean that she kneeled down?" Another girl said, and then sneered. "Well, if it wasn't for watching the video, I really couldn't imagine that she wears the innocent face but do such dirty things!"

"As the saying goes, you may know a person’s face, but not his mind."

Hearing the conversation between the two people, Rita's eyes were full of confusion.

‘What video of Charlotte?’

She took out her mobile phone and logged into the school forum curiously.

Then, she saw a very active video with high hits on the home page. It was called "True colors of the campus belle".

She put on her headphones and turned on the video.

First came out a black screen, and then came a woman's hoarse voice. " It was all because I lost my head and was abetted to frame Rita, which killed Joey. It was all my fault!"

This was the sound of Charlotte! And it was that day she kneeled on the ground to beg for mercy.

At this time, someone suddenly appeared on the mobile phone in black screen.

At first, the video was very vague. She could only see one woman kneeling on the ground.

Next second, the camera suddenly zoomed. The woman's face in the video was extremely clear. Not only could she see Charlotte, but she even could see the tears on her face!

"It was all my fault! I was wrong. I was wrong."

In the video, Charlotte kneeled on the ground and murmured.

Seeing this, Rita was surprised.

‘How can these things appear in the school forum? Who recorded it? Who uploaded it? What's the purpose?

All the problems crowded her mind. She couldn't help frowning.

She quickly clicked on the poster. The poster named "please call me a good man". She wanted to see other information about the poster, but found that this ID only published this one post.

‘Who sent this...post?’

As Rita was confused, suddenly the little girl in front of her pushed the red haired girl. "Louisa，talk of the devil and she comes.”

"You did so many things and have the courage to come to school. You’re really thick skinned." The girl named Louisa looked up at Charlotte who entered the classroom. Her eyes were full of satire.

"Yes, it's shameless." The little girl followed.

When they said, Charlotte already came in front of them.

Seeing that she was about to pass them to the back row, Louisa tripped Charlotte. She was unprepared and fell heavily on the ground.

Seeing that she was so embarrassed, everyone laughed.

Charlotte frowned and got angry. "You... You..."

"Oh, isn't this our campus belle? Why don't you walk without seeing the floor? Can’t you see my feet? " Louisa snorted and patted the place that Charlotte had touched just now. "Next time you walk, you have to watch it. Thanks to my good temper. It's OK to tread on me. If I were someone else, you would have been beaten!"

“...”

Looking at these people who used to flatter her, now bullied her like this, Charlotte's face was ugly. She shivered even more angrily. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

She looked back, biting the lip to get up. Then suddenly she saw a pair of familiar sports shoes.

Suddenly, her eyes suddenly narrowed.

‘These shoes are the same as Rita’s shoes yesterday.’

Her heart jolted and suddenly looked up at the owner of the shoes.

When she looked at Rita’s face, Charlotte suddenly paled.

Losing the self-esteem, she would like to find a hole to hide in. She also didn't want Rita see her embarrassed.

Charlotte scrambled to get up from the ground, then covered her face and rushed out of the classroom quickly.

"Why are you running? Are you hurriedly plagiarizing or setting someone up? "

Looking at Charlotte's back, Louisa shouted sarcastically. Suddenly the classroom burst into laugh again.

At this time, on the seat, Ann looked at these people coldly with disgust in her eyes.

It was not because she sympathized Charlotte, she had experienced such ridicule and irony in her last life. She remembered how painful she felt at that time!

Gossip was a fearful thing!

She sighed and went on with the class. After class, she limped to her car——the polo.

She bent to open the door, only to see a man in the driver's seat.

Rita frowned and suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were fixed on a pair of deep eyes.

It was Liam.

Looking at his grim and cold face, she was not so surprised.

Because he was the only one who could get into the car without her opening the door.

Rita went to the right side of the car and bent to sit in.

"What are you doing here?" He was uncomfortable with the estrangement in Rita’s tone. ‘She hated to see him?’

She had experienced the despair and pain. No one having such experience would like to have relationships with him.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why Rita was so afraid of him. To her, he was the devil of hell.

He had no choice but to purse his lips, explaining, "... Grandfather said he missed you and wanted to see you."

Rita said, "Well." She fastened the seat belt. He said, "Let's go."

Rita had been playing with her mobile phone without looking at Liam on the road. The atmosphere was a little cold.

He seemed to inadvertently glance at her mobile phone screen, and then watched the road ahead again. "... Grandfather asked you what you want to eat today."

"All right." Rita said perfunctorily and continued to look down at the mobile phone.

“Well.” Liam glanced at her again. He wanted to say something, but finally reluctantly closed.

At this time, Rita suddenly raised her head and looked at him.

Feeling the look, Liam pretended to concentrate on driving.

"Liam, is the video related to you?"

"What video?" He raised eyebrows.

Rita pointed to the video on the school forum. " Was Charlotte’s video shot and uploaded by you?"

"I said no. Would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." This video was not only uploaded to the school forum. After she checked it, she found it was uploaded to all the social media networks.

This kind of video could quickly become the topic in one day and was on the most searched hashtags. She didn’t believe that no one added fuel to the fire.

After all, Charlotte was not a star, not even an online celebrity. She did not have such huge popularity!

What’s more, she thought about the shooting angle of that video. If she remembered correctly, it was Liam on the sofa at that time!

After the analysis, she frowned. "It seems that... you are serious this time. You want her suffer?"

"Yes."

Hearing his answer, Rita was not surprised.

She knew how much Liam cared about Joey.

He treated her so cruelly at the beginning. Now he would treat Charlotte——the real murderer like that

"I will let her pay back ten times as much as she had done to you! Until she paid off! " When she was distracted, Liam's voice sounded in her ear again.

Rita was shocked by his words.

She looked at the man with astonishment in her eyes.

He didn't take revenge for Joey, but for her?
