Sweet Divorce

Chapter 172 The Plot for Saving Charlotte

Rita stood still when she heard her voice.

She turned to look at Amelia behind her, “I didn’t hear what you just said, please say it again.”

Rita stood on the stairs and condescendingly looked down at Amelia in the living room.

Although there is not much emotional fluctuation on her face, her sharp eyesight was so oppressive that made people felt like a catastrophe was imminent.

Although Rita was not angry, it still made Amelia, who was used to no one disobeying her orders, feel breathless.

“I...I...”

“What?”

Amelia’s voice from earlier was very loud and Rita heard it, but she pretended not hearing it clearly, so she gave Amelia an out.

This was a leeway she left for her elders as a granddaughter, and it was also the last concession.

However, if someone insists on stepping on her bottom line today, she didn’t mind falling out.

She didn’t mind letting the Brown family overturn in advance.

Let the Brown Group change its ownership.

Let them fully understand who the real master is, in this life.

Sensing Rita’s cold eyes, Amelia also sensed the danger in the air.

She would never consider Rita’s emotions before if it was the old her, but now she dared not ignore it.

Not to mention that this girl had recently become intelligent and astute. Simply just by how the current unstable Brown family is now dependent on the relationship between Rita and Liam before it can be maintained.

If this girl is offended this time and Liam withdrew his investments, the entire Brown family would also be destroyed.

If the Brown family was over, what’s the point of her trying her best to keep Charlotte?

After weighing the pros and cons, Amelia who is astute concluded.

She looked at Rita with a smile on her face and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay...Liam and you just have to go back to your room and have a good rest.”

“Oh.”

Rita responded and went back to the room with Liam.

When the room door closed, the girl’s face immediately sank.

Leaned against the wall, she looked outside through the window as if she wasn’t looking at anything, she fell into deep thoughts.

Liam glanced at the troubled girl, “Are you worried that Amelia would have an under-hand?”

Rita’s eyes squinted, and her eyes were full of complex emotions.

Although Amelia did not mention Charlotte just now, she knew in her heart that Amelia would definitely find an opportunity to stop Charlotte from being sentenced. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She didn’t understand why they are both her granddaughter and they both made a mistake, why is she, Rita, unforgivable but Charlotte is forgivable.

With such different treatment, for a second, Rita wondered if she was of the Brown family’s blood or Amelia’s granddaughter.

Amelia’s choice today also completely chilled her heart, and it was an irreversible chill.

When she thought of this, Rita clenched her hands subconsciously and thrust her nails into her palms.

Observing Rita’s movements, Liam rubbed her hair, “Little fool, even if Amelia wanted to save Charlotte, she wasn’t capable than me.”

The person who Rita hates is the mortal enemy of Liam.

If she did not nod, he would let Charlotte live in jail for the rest of her life... until she died!

Liam’s care was like a spring breeze, blowing Rita’s heart away.

She encircled the man’s waist with her hands, her small face leaned against his warm chest and the pink lips were slightly hooked, “I can do it myself, don’t have to make a fuss.”

She has to resolve the grievances between her and Charlotte.

Nothing can be done to Joey since she disappeared, but no mercy will be given to Charlotte.

Since Rita said so, and Liam didn’t insist on making a move anymore.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed her chin, forcing the person in his arms to take care of herself, and then said, “If you can’t solve it, just throw it to me, don’t carry it all by yourself?”

At that time, he will let some people know his methods.

At the same time, inside the living room.

After Rita left, Mason glanced at Amelia who had a bad expression, and hurriedly stepped forward to make peace of the situation. “Mom, Rita’s stubborn temper of a child made you unhappy, don’t worry about it.”

Amelia sighed and put on a sensible appearance, “It’s no surprise that Rita is ruthless about this matter, the blame is on Charlotte for going overboard. This time, she even had her thoughts on me and you!”

Most of the rebuke was deliberately spoken to Mason, but it was indeed what Amelia felt.

Amelia was after all disappointed by Charlotte.

But for some reason, she had to choose to forgive and condone.

“Mom, let’s not talk about it for the time being.” Mason glanced at Amelia, his eyes were full of worry, “You just fell downstairs and recovered your mind due to a blessing in disguise, but I think you still have to go to the hospital for an examination. We would be more relieved if we can obtain confirmation that there was no injury or anything.”

“Big brother is right. Mom, let’s go to the hospital for an examination.”

Mason said so, and Rose immediately agreed.

Regarding Rose’s diligent appearance, Amelia gave a cold eye, “Stop being the second guesser. The first thing you thought of when you saw that I had recovered my mind was for me to help Charlotte!”

Rose was embarrassed so she kept quiet.

Amelia withdrew her temper and looked at Mason again with a lovely smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, I just need rest. It’s not early, you and Zoe should go to rest.”

“Yes, Mom...”

“Go ahead.”

At Amelia’s insistence, Mason and Zoe also returned to the room.

Everyone left, Amelia glanced coldly at Mason and Rose who were kneeling down on the floor, gritted her teeth coldly, “You shameful people, go back to the room with me.”

Mason and his wife looked at each other and hurriedly got up and followed.

When they entered the room, Amelia raised her hand and gave Rose a loud slap in the face.

With a slap, Rose fell to the ground.

This sudden slap directly slapped Rose into a daze, holding her hot left cheek and looking aggrieved at the angry person above, “Mom...?”

“Bitch! If it wasn’t for me and Mason luck this time, we would have died from your schemes!” Amelia became angrier, stretched out her hand, and slapped her again, “If I knew you were so vicious, I would have never allowed you to enter the Brown family!”

After two slaps, Rose’s left face suddenly swelled.

The burning pain made her feel terrible, but she didn’t dare to voice it.

She could only endure the pain with tears in her eyes, “Mom, how did it become that I schemed against it?”

“Do you really think I’m stupid? If it weren’t for you instigating, Charlotte and Mason would think of dividing my belongings?”

Amelia knows the virtues of her son best.

Mason could only do more harm than good, not only did he not think of this step, but he also didn’t have the guts.

As for Charlotte... She was also instigated by this bitch!

Not setting a good example!

If it weren’t for Rose who started it, why would her child harbor such ill thoughts?

“Mom, I was wronged, I didn’t.” Rose crawled to Amelia and explain in tears, and Amelia coldly pushed her away.

Angrily rebuked, “Shut up! I don’t want to listen to you now!”

Rose hurriedly stopped, “...”

Seeing that Rose was honest, Amelia raised her eyes and fell on Mason.

Being stared at, Mason who had a guilty conscience, fell down right in front of her.

Mason, who did not confess, stung Amelia’s heart, and her hazy old eyes were covered with disappointment.

But soon she took away her grief and solemnly opened her mouth, “I have no time to settle accounts with you now. I asked you to come in to discuss with you how to save Charlotte.”

Upon hearing this, Rose and Mason were overjoyed.

Those who were crying stopped crying, and those who bowed their heads also raised their heads.

Rose pursed her lips and said, “Mom, Rita refuses to withdraw the lawsuit. Can you persuade your eldest brother to withdraw the lawsuit behind Rita’s back?”

“The road to withdraw the complaint will not work, else our grandmother and granddaughter relationship would be completely turned over.”

Amelia shook her head.

Seeing Amelia caring about Rita so much, Mason was puzzled, “Mom, since you want to help Charlotte, why do you still care about Rita? You are the head of the family, and you have the final say.”

“Are you a fool? Nowadays, the Brown family still has to rely on Liam to inject capital. If we fall out with that girl at this time, it will be over for our family!”

Before Amelia spoke, Rose looked at Mason first.

Only then did Mason understand why Amelia suddenly changed her words just now.

He frowned, “Then what shall we do? The evidence that Rita handed over to the prosecutor’s office is concrete evidence. The conversation between Charlotte and Brian was recorded, which means we can’t even find a scapegoat to help take the blame!”

Rose fell silent upon hearing this.

All the witnesses in Charlotte’s case are concrete evidence, and there is no way to help.

“I have a way to save Charlotte, but... Charlotte would have to suffer a bit.” At this moment, Amelia spoke.

Mason and Rose looked curious, “What way?”

“Go on bail for medical treatment!” Amelia uttered those words faintly.

Rose twisted her eyebrows, “Bail for medical treatment?”

Mason, “What does mom mean?”

“Even if we withdrew the lawsuit, Charlotte will be held accountable and go to jail. If she is ill and her life is in danger, we can choose to go on parole for medical treatment and get her out of it reasonably and legally.”

After Amelia’s explanation, Mason and his wife felt that this idea was feasible.

But Rose still had some scruples, “Mom, how could Charlotte’s life suddenly be in danger?”

“Charlotte used to have a bad appetite and was spoiled since she was a child. When she went to the detention center, she was naturally not used to eating the food they supplied... If she didn’t eat, she would easily suffer from stomach issues and require perforation.”

“This...this is indeed a good way, but will it be risky?” Rose couldn’t help being a little worried and dared not gamble on Charlotte’s life.

Amelia sighed, “As the saying goes if can’t bear the child you won’t catch the wolf. What’s more, this is the only way to save Charlotte at the moment. Otherwise, she will have to squat in it for three to five years after the sentence. But don’t worry, I will arrange someone in advance to ensure her personal safety. After all, she is the only child of the Brown family.” At the end of the conversation, Amelia added another sentence to relieve Rose.

When the old lady said this, Rose was relieved, “Okay, let’s follow mom’s suggestion.”

“Since it’s decided, I will find a way to bring my words to Charlotte, so that she can start a hunger strike to prepare for medical parole!” Amelia spoke and waved to the two people tiredly, “I’m tired, you should also go and do business.”

“Okay.”

Mason and his wife left the room in response.

After leaving the Brown family, they did not dare to neglect and quickly rushed to meet Charlotte.
