Sweet Divorce

Chapter 177 It’s Pleasant to Be Called Rita's man

"You are so confident. Do you have Bargaining chip to have equivalent exchange with Michael?” Rita looked up incredulously at Lillian.

Lillian laughed. "Anyway, trust me. I have my way."

If Michael refused, people will find two corpses in F City tomorrow.

As Lillian thought about it, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.

Although the emotion disappeared fast, Rita caught the look of it.

She had been a friend of Lillian for more than a decade, and no one knew her better than Rita.

Of course, she also was clear about what Lillian was thinking in her mind.

She frowned, " Lillian, impulse plays nothing in solve the problems."

Penetrated, Lillian's smile on her face was stiffened.

Seeing Burke's reaction, Rita was even more certain she was right.

There were no bargaining chip in Lillian’s hand, but she wanted to try an extreme solution in a fit of passion.

She said helplessly. "Bankruptcy has made uncles and aunts so exhausted. If some other accidents happen to you... I'm afraid they won't make it."

Lillian was soft when thinking of her parents. With a sour nose, the tears rolled down her cheeks.

" Lillian, you calm down. We can find a solution."

"Well."

Rita was relieved to see that Lillian had finally come to her senses.

"But why did Michael make the Burke family bankrupt?" she wondered as she served Lillian more food.

The question caught Liam’s attention, too, so Liam and Rita turned to look at Lillian.

Lillian smiled wryly. "He not only wanted to destroy the Burke family, but also the Brown family."

Hearing that, Rita's eyes narrowed. "Why?"

In her last life, she died before she could find out who planned to set the Brown family up.

Naturally, she had no idea it was Michael who did that, as well as the reasons.

"Michael Burke is actually Michael Davies. In the past days, the Burke family, the Brown family, and the Davies family were in good relations. However, the Burke family and the Brown family cooperated and made the Burke family bankrupt overnight. Old Mr. Davies committed suicide by jumping off a mansion under pressure, and Mrs. Davies died of a heart attack while she was cornered by the loan shark.

When Lillian told her about the old feuds, Rita was stunned, "Is... is it true?"

"I asked my parents after it happened and they didn't deny it." Lillian, with a wry smile, grabbed a bottle of beer and bottomed it up.

Hearing the words, the three people at the table were speechless.

Liam broke the ice by adding more food to Rita’s bowl, “We have the meal first!”

"... Not very hungry."

In fact, she was hungry, but she lost the appetite with worries about the Brown family and her parents.

Clever as Liam, he penetrated her mind at a glance.

He picked up the meat and held it to her mouth, "Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll protect you and your family."

Rita was shocked, with a feeling of warm in her heart.

It was good of him to say that, but she didn't want to depend on him too much.

After having experienced death once a time, she understood a truth --

There was no one you can rely on forever, and you’d better be strong yourself.

Only when you became stronger can you protect what you want.

But she did not utter these words at the table.

She just squinted, smiled, and opened her mouth to eat the meat.

"Good." Liam kneaded her face with joy, and served her more food. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

With admiration and sincere blessings, Lillian said, "I feel at ease when I know you are happy, Rita"

Not only she felt peace of mind, but also the declining sense of guilt.

Rita curled her lips and smiled. "You must be happy, too, Lillian."

"... Well, we both will be happy." Lillian smiled. Her gaze fell on Liam, and she said, "Rita's man, please keep an eye on your friends and introduce them to me if you think they are a good match to me."

Liam was not a nosy person, but he was delighted with Lillian calling him Rita's man.

For the first time, he said, "Well... Rita's man has it in mind."

Rita was struck by lightning. He did buy it when Lillian called him Rita's man.

In the office, a woman with heavy makeup gave a glance at the man opposite her, picking her eyebrow, "Tomas, what is your decision about the matter of that day?"

Tomas stood against the light, looking so handsome, which made Euan look straight at him. Look! The face and figure were so outstanding. It must be good to feel it.

It was sure that it was better to feel him than that old man.

Euan kept on glowing and had a stronger feeling to have sex with this man.

Facing the flirting woman, Tomas was a little annoyed.

He must have turned and left here if Euan was not his direct manager.

Euan was deputy manager of the branch in the south of the city and his immediate manager.

Since he had come to the shop, Euan had taken any opportunity to take advantage of him from time to time.

He had also spoken to a previous manager, who had also had a talk with Euan and asked her not to harass colleagues.

The next day, however, the previous manager was fired.

Later Tomas knew that Euan was a lover of a director of the headquarters.

As soon as the previous manager criticized her, she instigated the director to fire him.

There was no one to restrict Euan, so Euan coveted him even more brazenly.

A few days before, unexpectedly she said she wanted to keep him and pay him, and she will fire him if he said no.

"Tomas, are you refusing me?" Euan snorted coldly and smirked. “You'd better think it over.”

"I've thought it over." He won't sell his body for a job.

"If you leave, I'm going to spread the rumor that you have stolen the goods in store, which will make it impossible for you to stay in the F City." Euan squinted at the man who was tall and stood straight there, with malice in her eyes.

Hearing the words, Tomas’s face suddenly turned pale.

It never occurred to him that Euan could be so shameless.

He refused to be with her, and she should use such tricks to hurt him.

Disgusting!

Tomas clenched his fists tightly and tightly, with anger.

"Tomas, I remember last time I let you take back a dress and you don’t have brought it back. You say if I call the police and tell them that you steal…Do you think whether you will be arrested for that? Once you have a record, no company will want to hire you." Euan smiled and timely gave more pressure.

Tomas’ face suddenly turned livid, "You clearly said that the dress was bought to be a gift to my sister. You..."

"Who can prove it? Back then, you took it off the shelf, bagged it, and took it out of the store."

Hearing Euan's words, Tomas understood why Euan made him to take the dress with an excuse that there was something in her hand, and it was inconvenient for her to take the dress.

At the time, he declined. But Euan said that if he took the dress, she would never bother him anymore. So he took it.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trap.

He’s afraid the note that Euan showed him was a fake one.

"Tomas, I know you are young and impulsive, just graduating from university, I will give you more time to think about it. I believe you will make a right decision."

In a moment of distraction, Euan spoke. "Don’t worry, we are just a sex relationship, and I will never hinder you to have a girlfriend.”

Tomas looked at the woman in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

But she had his weakness in hand, he dared not to express his anger.

As he was in this dilemma, the door of the office suddenly opened.

Suddenly being disturbed when it was close to a success, Euan was very angry, and she stared angrily at the coming person, “I told you, don’t come and bother me working. You..."

"Euan, the new manager has arrived." A female employee pointed inwardly at Rita, who was next to her, and whispered to Euan.

Euan collected her anger, and looked at Rita.

Surprise showed up in her eyes as she looked at Rita up and down.

Was she the new manager appointed by the head office?

She looked so young in her early twenties.

Was this young woman really the one who solved the Nathan’s affair?

She was so lucky.

But no matter how this young woman was capable, Euan will let her roll back to the place where she came from.

There was no place for this young woman around Euan.
