When she was trying her best to think of an excuse to reject him, a black car, which was apparently expensive, stopped in front of them.
The window was winded down and a good-looking face appeared. The driver said, “Hi, Liam.”
The comer was one of Liam’s good friends, Edison.
Rita had little memory about him.
In the last incarnation, she met him twice when joining some parties with Liam. She remembered that Edison was a gentleman, neither lively as Jacob nor cold as Liam.
“Sorry, I am late. I must deal with some businesses in the C City first.” When she was absent-minded, Edison got off the car, standing in front of them, “I am so sorry for you grandpa.”
Liam nodded simply and opened the door of his car. Looking at the fragile girl, he ordered, “You should stay in the car.”
“Well.” She was not interested in joining their conversation.
She was no longer the girl who made all the efforts to meet his friends.
This time, she didn’t care anything about him.
She smiled to Edison politely and walked to Liam’s car nearby.
After Grandpa Jim passed away, she hadn’t slept for two days.
Leaning in the warm car, she was nearly asleep.
She closed her beautiful eyes while waiting for Liam but her phone rang.
“Hello?” Rita answered sleepily and asked gently, “Who is it?”
“Rita? Why did you answer my brother’s phone? Where’s Liam? Is he by your side?”
Hearing Jacob’s voice, Rita realized that she picked up Liam’s phone unconsciously.
“I have to talk with him immediately. Give him the phone. Be quick.”
Before she said something, Jacob urged her anxiously.
Jacob called in such a hurry that she wanted to ask what happened instinctively but then she hesitated because she thought it would be officious.
Although Jacob was a bit biased against her, he was still a man who was rational on issues, so she was aware that something important must happen in need of Liam’s help.
Therefore, she got off the car to inform Liam.
When she was near Edison’s car, she heard Edison’s voice, “Liam, Joey is from the Nash family. I think you should treat her well since for you, she…”
He paused with mixed feelings.
And then he continued, “You shouldn’t ruin the Nash family.”
“…” Liam looked away with eyes full of indifference and coldness.
“Liam, there must be other ways for you to compensate Rita. It’s too cruel to bankrupt the whole family…”
Liam took a glimpse of the phone in his hand, and said coldly, “Tell the Nash family. Don’t hurt her.”
Then he left the car.
And the next second, he bumped into Rita, “Rita?”
“Jacob is calling you.” Rita smiled. Her face was emotionless as if she didn’t hear their conversation.
She gave the phone to Liam and was about to leave.
At this moment, Liam held on her tightly to his arms and she was forced to stop.
“Did you hear what we talked about just now?”
He asked in a low tone, which made Rita frowned subtly, but she hid her change and acted as usual in just a second.
Although her facial expression was subtle, he captured it.
He knew that she must hear it.
“Why didn’t you ask me anything?” Worriedly, he looked at her who was peaceful now.
She pushed him away, smiling plainly, “Why should I ask?” Did his choice matter to her?
Her plan of revenge did not need other’s help.
