Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 148

“Well, you are back.” Charlotte greeted Rita weirdly as soon as she entered the door. “Well, you are just in time. Let’s just sit down and have a serious talk.”

Rita didn’t say anything and just stared at her.

“Sit down!” Sitting on the couch, Charlotte threw an already signed properties division paper to her and said, “Just sign your name here if you don’t have a problem with this.”

Rita actually found it hilarious that Charlotte was being so audacious.

How come that she was so self-confident now after she just went on a business trip for a few days?

It looked like that someone ought to be reminded of her identity and situation.

Thinking about this, Rita glanced at the maids coldly and said angrily, “Did you all forget why you are here?”

All the maids were confused by the sudden questioning.

“How can you just let some random person barge in and disturb grandmother’s rest?” Rota was obviously displeased and remained cold. “How can we let you stay here if you can’t even do this little thing right!”

Hearing her words, all the maids immediately understood what Rita was talking about.

She was blaming them for letting Charlotte in.

Charlotte had already been evicted by the grandmother who also said that she will never be allowed to enter this home ever again.

They were following the orders before, but today, Charlotte cried in tears that she was here to visit the injured grandmother, so they was touched and let her in.

They didn’t really think that Rita would be back today.

All the maids got scared then.

One of them swallowed a mouthful of spit and blamed everything on Charlotte, “She insisted on going in and we couldn’t even stop her.”

“Yes, yes.” The rest of them started chiming in to avoid being punished.

Seeing that they were blaming her, Charlotte’s face immediately darkened.

She finally understood what it was like to be targeted by other people after she lost her power.

While she was being spoiled by grandmother before, they were all obedient, but now, they just blamed her to save their own jobs.

How selfish were they!

Charlotte then rolled her eyes at all the maids.

But she was even more furious at Rita.

Rita that bitch was clearly reminding her that she was not one of the Wilsons anymore and had no right to ask for dividing the family fortunes by scolding the maids.

Though she didn’t say a word to her, she knew that she was warned.

Suppressing her inner anger, Charlotte knocked on the table and said, “I’m here to ask for part of the property that belongs to my father. I have no time to argue with you here.”

Then she glanced at the lawyer sitting next to her.

The lawyer immediately knew what she was referring to and said officially, “Miss Brown, I’m Lawyer Morgan, Charlotte and Mason’s attorney. Next up, I want to talk to you about...”

“Mr. Morgan, can I ask you a legal knowledge before we start?”

Rita cut the lawyer mid-sentenced.

Lawyer Morgan smiled, “Go ahead.”

“Does the children have the legal right to force the senior to distribute his/her property if she/he is still alive?” Rita asked elegantly.

Lawyer Morgan answered without hesitation, “No.”

“Well then, why are you here to talk with me?”

The lawyer immediately froze.

While fiddling with her fingers on the sofa, Rita cast Charlotte a scornful look and said, “Well, didn’t she tell you that all the family’s asset is under grandmother’s name?”

“This...” Lawyer Morgan’s face darkened and looked at Charlotte for proving.

Charlotte’s face was all pale and remained silent.

“Miss Brown, how come that you didn’t mention this to me before? This really puts us in an awkward position.” Looking at Charlotte, Lawyer Morgan complained.

Charlotte glared at the lawyer and said, “Well, you are the professional here. How come that I should know what to say or what not to say if you don’t ask me.”

“Well...”

“Enough. Aren’t you ashamed already?” Face darkened, Charlotte stood up and was about to leave.
