Sweet Divorce

Chapter 209 Friend

Emma Ellis was the adopted daughter of the Wilson family.

She was brought up by Ryan, the one which Jacob just mentioned.

Ryan left years ago after he and Grandpa Jim had a falling-out.

Now Jim passed away, and he came back to the Wilson family. He must return for the Wilson Group and the master of the Wilson family.

Ryan was really smart. He knew he would be defeated if he launched a frontal attack on Liam.

Therefore, he chose to send Emma to spy on Liam.

With the help of Emma, it was much easier for Ryan to carry out his plan behind Liam’s back.

That was the reason why Jacob was anxious.

Thinking of that, Rita could not help frowning.

However, compared with the crisis brought by Ryan, she more cared about Emma.

Emma was supposed to be the Mrs. Wilson.

If she hadn’t forced Liam to marry her, Emma would have been his wife.

It was said that she had joined the underground organization of the Wilson family since she was sixteen. Although she was a girl, she became the leader by herself when she was only eighteen.

Not only was she good at the martial art, she was also a talented businesswoman. She had developed some of the profitable projects of the Wilson Group.

Because of her job, she was really busy so that Rita had barely met her even though Rita had married Liam for years in her previous life.

Though Rita had barely seen her, she once stabbed Rita in her chest, which almost killed Rita.

Thinking of that, Rita put her hands over her chest.

Well, she really could not afford to annoy Emma.

This time, she should not be brainwashed by someone else to treat Emma as her rival and enemy.

She should be cleverer to protect herself and avoid the conflicts with Emma.

Liam turned and looked at her. He found Rita seemed very worried and thought she might be jealous when she heard he was about to marry Emma. Then he put his arms around her behind her back.

“Relax. My wife will only be you.”

Rita stopped thinking about Emma when she heard his deep voice.

She was a bit surprised at first, then her lips curved into a smile.

Liam was comforting her?

Although she was more alarmed rather than jealous because of Emma, she was still pleased by his consolation.

Then Rita came to cook dinner. Jacob and Liam went to the living room to discuss something about their works.

Liam lowered his head to stare at the computer. But Jacob glanced at Rita who was still busy in the kitchen, frowning. “Liam, you have been reconciled with her directly?”

“Do you have any problem with that?”

Yes! He had!

Jacob shot an angry glare at her, gnashing his teeth. “She broke up with you when you just revived after injured. Isn’t she too ruthless?”

“She was forced to.”

“But she had an intimate dinner with Oliver. And don’t you need to go question her?”

Liam crinkled his eyes angrily sitting on the couch when he heard that. And he seemed to want to kill someone for a second.

Jacob found Liam was angered instantly, and he was quite excited.

Well, Liam finally got enraged.

Rita must be done for this time.

Jacob did not know why she would break up with Liam, but she really hurt Liam. Moreover, he also got into the trouble because of her.

Heaven knows how miserable he was when he stayed with Liam during that time.

He had to revenge on her!

Anyway, he did not want her to be forgiven so easily. Otherwise, he was the only one who suffered terribly.

Then Liam suddenly moved.

‘Look! Liam is to get even with her for that!’ Jacob thought.

He could not wait to see that.

When Jacob was waiting Liam to fall out with Rita, Liam’s eyes were fixed on him coldly. And he looked so angry that he wanted to tear him.

“You are sick of your life?”

“What?” Jacob was bemused – why would Liam be angry with him?

Jacob stared at Liam in a puzzlement.

What was wrong?

Why was he sick of his life?

Liam flicked a glance at Jacob, who was still jolted. And he said impassively, “What was an intimate dinner? There were still Lilian and Atherden.”

Well…

But Liam was the one who said “intimate dinner”.

Jacob’s forehead was bunched in a frown. “I…”

“Stop it. Don’t slander her again.”

Jacob wanted to explain, but he was silenced by Liam’s words.

Jacob was dumbfounded when he saw Liam cared about Rita so much. “For God’s sake…”

It was Rita who hurt Liam. Why would he become the one who slandered Rita?

Dang it!

Who was him? Where was him? He was bewildered and he felt he could not continue to live his life anymore.

Jacob was still moaning in his head while Rita served the dishes.

He could not vent his anger bluntly, so he had to have more food to soothe himself.

He ate a bowl of rice and then the second bowl of rice. He still wanted to eat more but he was full.

Never mind, he thought.

He did not need to be angry with Liam because Liam was always thinking about Rita. And he did not want to stuff himself too much because of anger.

He should take care of himself because he would still have to fight with Rita in the future.

Then Jacob was calmed. He wiped his mouth and leaned back on the couch, rubbing at his swollen belly. He had to allow a little time for the food to digest before he fought against Rita.

“I’m going to do the dishes. You can continue on your work.”

Smiling, Rita cleared up the plates and went to the kitchen.

Before she took her step, Liam spoke to her. “You don’t need to do this.”

Jacob had a twitch on his lips when he heard that. He thought Liam was a hopeless case. As a CEO of the corporation, Liam cared for Rita so much that he would even do the dishes for her.

That was pathetic.

He complained secretly and kept rubbing hie belly.

Liam had a look at Jacob, who was obviously full. “You should do the washing-up.”

“What?” Jacob exclaimed.

Liam was supposed to wash the dishes to please Rita as usual.

Why should he do the washing-up? Jacob thought.

“You can’t have the dinner without doing any household chores in our home.”

Liam replied with indifference. Hearing that, Jacob almost wanted to vomit the blood of grievance.

He was to argue with Liam, but he found Liam’s request was reasonable.

Even if he wanted, he was never able to fight back against Liam.

Fine, he could do the dishes.

Well, unluckily, his boss only cared about his wife.

And he would never expect that Liam would be firm with Rita. He should accept that.

Jacob sighed covertly. Then he took the plates to the kitchen with a grimace.

Rita felt an irresistible urge to laugh when she saw Jacob’s look.

She had a look at Liam and said, “Don’t be too hard on him.”

Liam lifted his eyes and looked at the one who was in the kitchen. Then he responded apathetically, “Am I?”

“Yeah. Others would already leave you if you treat them like that.”

“But Jacob would not do that.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Liam said firmly without even raising his head.

Rita was stunned and moved by his words.

Jacob would not leave him?

However, it was Jacob who leaked out the confidential information of the Wilson Group in her previous life.

Rita had a mixed feeling when she thought of that.

Liam only had a few friends. And Jacob was the most important one.

If Liam was betrayed by Jacob once again, would he lose all sense of reason like he did in the past?
