Sweet Divorce

Chapter 223 The Secret Battle between Two Women

Hearing Liam’s answer, Rita can’t help smiling instantly.

“Transfer two million yuan to me right now.”

Jonathan twitched his mouth.

While Rita was riding high at the moment, Emma was uncomfortable inside.

The bet before had already changed to the battle between she and Rita from Jonathan and Rita.

They were both begging for Jacob, but Liam just rejected her without hesitation and agreed to Rita immediately.

It was obvious that Rita weighted heavier in Liam’s heart than her.

She just lost completely.

Did twenty years of assistance and accompany can’t win over Rita’s pestering?

If Liam can like the kind of woman like Rita, why can’t he find good in her?

For the first time in her life, Emma learned what it was like to be jealous.

Though Emma was fighting inside, she looked as calm as ever outside.

Unlike other girls, she wouldn’t show her emotions explicitly.

She had already learned to hide her emotions after twenty years of training in the Wilson family.

But more importantly, she learned to fight for things she wanted,

“Well, give me the money.” Seeing that Jonathan and Emma were reluctant, Rita showed the transfer code to them.

Jonathan didn’t feel like giving her the money especially that he lost the bet.

But still, they admitted the defeat and transferred the money.

Liam smiled affectionately when he realized that Rita was being all cute for this.

He really did fell for her sweet move.

Liam pinched his temple and let out a wry smile.

But he was really happy when he saw Rita beaming with joy.

Finally, Rita was regaining her care-free spirit.

Apart from the love that he wanted to win back from Rita, he yearned for her pure and happy smile.

If it can make her happy, he really didn’t find any harm in tricking Jonathan more later.

Jacob was saved from receiving the punishment because of Rita.

“I know that Liam loves me and was just bluffing me.”

All people present were all quite speechless.

Rita naturally didn’t mention that she was the one who saved him.

She didn’t want any estrangement between him and Liam.

But Liam just said coldly, “I was not bluffing you.”

He was quite serious.

“Rita helped you.” Liam said the truth.

Jacob paused.

Rita saved him?

A mixed feeling of surprise, gratitude and shock started boiling up inside him.

He used to dislike Rita and even scorned her before.

But he didn’t expect that Rita would just forgive the past disagreements and save his life.

The deep-rooted misunderstanding towards Rita loosened a bit.

After pausing for a few seconds, he muttered, “Thank you.”

Though his voice was a bit low, Rita didn’t mind it.

She nodded, “No worries.”

Then she turned to Jonathan and raised her eyebrows, “Well, are you going to deliver your promise?”

“I’ve already transferred you the money!” What more did she want!

“What about my rice paste?”

Jonathan then suddenly remembered this.

Well then.

He surly would honor his bet.

As long as Jacob wasn’t going to be punished, he didn’t mind losing one million yuan to Rita and buying things for her.

‘It’s perfectly okay.’ Jonathan soothed him inside.

Then he went out, “I will buy it now.”

Emma then followed Jonathan out.

She really needed a break after seeing how sweet was Rita and Liam.

Emma was obviously low-spirited.

Jonathan naturally can figure out what she was unhappy about.

Though Emma had never mentioned this, Jonathan knew that she was madly in love with Liam.

Why else would a girl choose to be a shady staff then?

Because only by doing this can she accompany Liam.

But sadly...

Rita messed up the whole thing.

Not only that she seduced Liam to fall in love with her, she married into the Wilsons because of Old Mr. Wilson.

Liam used to despise Rita, so nobody took her seriously.

But oddly, that woman suddenly got smart after experiencing a high fever.

She started playing hard to get from pestering at Liam.

She even chose to divorce with Liam herself and moved out the Wilsons.

While everybody else was clapping hands for this, Liam started liking her.

He thought that this kind of plot would just happen in a romantic novel.

But the man that he had always idolized just did it anyway.

So the whole thing of Liam wooing Rita just shocked Jonathan and he found it unacceptable.

So he increasingly felt sorry for Emma who always cared for him like a real sister, “Don’t worry about it, Emma. Liam was just being seduced by that woman at present. But at the end of the day, he would know that you are the only one who is good enough to be Mrs. Wilson.”

“Jonathan, watch what you are saying. Since Liam really loves Rita, she is the Mrs. Wilson. Don’t say this ever again. You would bring trouble on yourself.”

Emma frowned and scolded Jonathan, but she was really thinking for Jonathan.

Jonathan was really touched by her words.

He smiled, “Well, there is no one around. Emma, I’m sure that those seniors among the shady staffs and in the Wilson family would choose you if they have to make a choice between you and Rita. You are far more competent than she is. They know what is the best for the Wilsons.”

Emma really thought Jonathan’s words seriously.

Without Old Mr. Wilson, Rita wouldn’t be able to become Mrs. Wilson easily.

Her face brightened a bit thinking about this.

“Okay then, go get the rice paste. Otherwise, she would get all petty.”

Jonathan was even more furious at Rita because of Emma’s words, “I wouldn’t want to listen to her words if it wasn’t for the sake of Liam.”

Jonathan’s hatred and despise towards fitted in exactly with Emma’s wishes.

After soothing him for a while, she drove with him away.

In about half a moth, the Wilsons would decide who would be the Mrs. Wilson.

Rita stole this from her the last time, but she really would love to see what Rita got to compete with her this time without Old Mr. Wilson’s support.

Rita actually knew clearly what Emma was thinking about after two lifetimes of experience.

The part of reason why she had such a tough life previously in the Wilsons was because of Emma’s dirty tricks behind her back.

Though she was afraid of Emma, she wouldn’t give in in this relationship with Liam.

She was firm inside, but after making comparisons with Emma, Rita was all upset.

Emma became a shady member when she was just sixteen and had got rid of unnecessary troubles and enemies for the Wilsons all these years.

She was really respected in this family.

But to other people, Rita was just a woman who got to marry into this family because she saved Old Mr. Wilson.

They would regard her as Mrs. Wilson while Old Mr. Wilson was alive.

But now that he was gone, she meant nothing to them.

She really had little chance of winning.

But...

It was not too late to win people’s heart now.

Thinking about this, Rita landed her eyes on Jacob and smiled at him.

Seeing Rita’s shrewd smile, Jacob was really panicking.

What was this woman up to?
