Sweet Divorce

A tall and formidable figure came close in the light.

There followed a silence in the hall.

Liam's eyes came across Leyla and fell on Rita.

When he saw she was holding Nathan and Tomas, his eyes narrowed with coldness instantly.

Then it became freezing in the hall at once.

When Rita found Liam kept looking at her hands, she lowered her head subconsciously.

She realized she was still holding their arms, then she released her grasp on their hands immediately.

Seeing that, the killing intent in Liam's eyes faded in a way.

Other people at their sides did not find they had made eye contact, because they all focused on the fair-skinned and captivating face.

How could he be so attractive?

So attractive... that others would even want to have his children.

Those women who had been standing at side to see what happened had thought Freddy was good-looking enough, but now they found this elegant and noble comer was even more handsome than Freddy. Much, much more handsome than Freddy.

Staring at the cold figure, the contempt in Leyla's face turned into affection very soon. "Sir, may I ask who, who you are?"

Liam flicked a glance at her indifferently, with disgust and anger in his eyes.

"The one you've had the gossip about, her ex-husband, Liam Wilson.

Leyla turned pale at his words, and she was so scared that she almost kneeled down.

Liam Wilson, the God in F City.

Others like her could only hear his name but could never see him.

How lucky she was that she could see him today.

But...

She had been gossiping about him just now.

Not lucky enough!

She wondered whether Liam would be angry with her talking his gossip.

Biting her lower lip, Leyla peeped at Liam's look to see if he was mad.

Looking at the man beside him, Freddy also jolted.

Why was Liam here?

And didn't he sound like he was sticking up for Rita?

Whether Liam was sticking up for Rita or not, Freddy thought they must stop jeering at Rita now that Liam had come.

Unless they felt suicidal.

Smiling, Freddy stepped toward Liam and tried to lighten the mood. "Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry for that. My girlfriend is too childish, and she says things sometimes. If she says anything to upset you, please don't take it to the heart. She's just a being foolish."

At his words, Leyla seemed quite innocent.

And the intentional insult had turned into an accident.

Then Liam should follow his words and pass over Leyla's rude remark.

Otherwise, others might think Liam was a narrow-minded man who would not let off a childish girl.

"OK."

Liam replied mildly and then went to Rita.

As he stared at the girl, his thin lips parted, "Babe."

Babe?

Everyone was stunned by this word.

Then they all looked at Rita with astonishment.

This unfeeling man was so tender towards Rita.

However...

Hadn't Leyla said that Rita was his ex-wife?

And that he had dumped her?

When those bystanders were still bemused, Liam took Rita's hands to his mouth and breathed on her hands to keep them warm, speaking gently. "I'm late. Sorry for keeping you waiting for these two minutes. You must be freezing, right? I'm so sorry..."

Rita, Leyla and Freddy were all shocked.

What happened?

Why would Liam treat her in a totally different way?

Leyla could not figure out where went wrong, but she was overwhelmed by that.

Why this perfect man would fall for Rita?

That was not true!

She could not believe it!

Even though she had seen them, she still could not accept that, so she took a step to Liam and said, "Mr. Wilson, haven't you divorced her?"

Liam flicked a glance at her distantly and then stared at Rita again. "Yeah, but it was she that divorced me, because I didn't want to upset her." It wasn't him left her.

On the contrary, it was Rita who broke up with him.

He said with an even voice, but others could sense he was defending Rita and that he was still loving her.

Suddenly, their eyes were full of envy for Rita.

Leyla turned pale at his words.

She wanted to sneer at Rita, but why would Liam come out and defend her?

The Ellis had said Liam always loathed Rita, why was he so protective of her now?

What was the reason?

Why!!!

"Leyla, stop that." Freddy took Leyla and wanted to leave here. "We shall not interrupt Mr. Wilson and Rita now."

Her mind was clouded by jealousy, but he had known -

How fondly Liam had stared at Rita.

The hearsay was not reliable.

If Leyla continued to make trouble and make fun of Rita, they might be dead.

Because he had sensed the killing intent hiding in Liam's eyes.

But Leyla did not know what was going through Freddy's mind.

She pulled herself free from Freddy's grip and turned to look at the distant man, trying to persuade him

regardless of consequence, "Mrnet"

Wilson, I suggest you keep distance from this faithless and useless woman. FindNovel.net

What else can she do except for dragging your feet?

You deserve a better one." For example, her cousin Emma.

Dragging his feet...

Rita was stung by this phrase.

Her eyes darkened, and she felt uncomfortable at that moment.

Though her sadness crossed her face quickly, Liam still caught it.

His babe was upset.

When he looked at Leyla again, his cold eyes falling on Leyla seemed to materialize, as if they were trying to punch the holes on her. Freddy was in a sweat when he saw the anger in Liam's eyes.

He must be angered.

Leyla was really a stupid voluptuous woman. She had been imperious with the support of the Ellis.

Today she had to be against Rita and she still could not read the situation by now.

Well done, she had challenged Liam's bottom line thoroughly.

Freddy held out to nudge her and warned her to stop.

But the man spoke indifferently at first, "Does she drag your feet?"

Leyla jolted. "What?"

Standing next to Liam and being quiet, Jacob interpreted Liam's concise words in time. "Liam is saying, Mrs. Wilson does not drag your feet, so, mind your owno business."

"You... I..." Leyla's face blushed and then grew pale, and she looked quite abashed.

But Liam did not want to let off her easily.

His eyes came across her with indifference and fell on Jacob. "I've heard that MC Group and the West are talking about the development of the land in the South City?

This project was extremely important for the West.

If it was done, the West's net worth would surge in a short time.

But if it could not be done...

What the West had paid by now would be in vain, and it might go bankrupt because of the enormous debt.

This project was given to the West because the Ellis had begged for Liam.

So that the West could earn a huge profit from it.

He did not care which company it was outsourced to, and he would not intervene as long as the quality could live up to the expectation.

But...

Now he changed his mind. "Go tell them: the Wilson Group withdraws."

Leyla started to feel uneasy. "Mr. Wilson, what are you doing?"

"Stupid."

As for Leyla's question, Liam only replied a word.

He held Rita and shot a look at Jacob impatiently.

Jacob saw the signal and started to interpret with a smile. "Because you've smeared Mrs. Wilson in public, she is upset now, so is Mr. Wilson.

Therefore...

The Wilson Group decides now that the project will be given to another company."

Leyla was as white as a sheet at once.☐☐☐☐☐☐
