Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 177

"You are so confident. Do you have Bargaining chip to have equivalent exchange with Michael?” Rita looked up incredulously at Lillian.

Lillian laughed. "Anyway, trust me. I have my way."

If Michael refused, people will find two corpses in F City tomorrow.

As Lillian thought about it, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.

Although the emotion disappeared fast, Rita caught the look of it.

She had been a friend of Lillian for more than a decade, and no one knew her better than Rita.

Of course, she also was clear about what Lillian was thinking in her mind.

She frowned, " Lillian, impulse plays nothing in solve the problems."

Penetrated, Lillian's smile on her face was stiffened.

Seeing Burke's reaction, Rita was even more certain she was right.

There were no bargaining chip in Lillian’s hand, but she wanted to try an extreme solution in a fit of passion.

She said helplessly. "Bankruptcy has made uncles and aunts so exhausted. If some other accidents happen to you... I'm afraid they won't make it."

Lillian was soft when thinking of her parents. With a sour nose, the tears rolled down her cheeks.

" Lillian, you calm down. We can find a solution."

"Well."

Rita was relieved to see that Lillian had finally come to her senses.

"But why did Michael make the Burke family bankrupt?" she wondered as she served Lillian more food.

The question caught Liam’s attention, too, so Liam and Rita turned to look at Lillian.

Lillian smiled wryly. "He not only wanted to destroy the Burke family, but also the Brown family."

Hearing that, Rita's eyes narrowed. "Why?"

In her last life, she died before she could find out who planned to set the Brown family up.

Naturally, she had no idea it was Michael who did that, as well as the reasons.

"Michael Burke is actually Michael Davies. In the past days, the Burke family, the Brown family, and the Davies family were in good relations. However, the Burke family and the Brown family cooperated and made the Burke family bankrupt overnight. Old Mr. Davies committed suicide by jumping off a mansion under pressure, and Mrs. Davies died of a heart attack while she was cornered by the loan shark.

When Lillian told her about the old feuds, Rita was stunned, "Is... is it true?"

"I asked my parents after it happened and they didn't deny it." Lillian, with a wry smile, grabbed a bottle of beer and bottomed it up.

Hearing the words, the three people at the table were speechless.

Liam broke the ice by adding more food to Rita’s bowl, “We have the meal first!”

"... Not very hungry."

In fact, she was hungry, but she lost the appetite with worries about the Brown family and her parents.

Clever as Liam, he penetrated her mind at a glance.

He picked up the meat and held it to her mouth, "Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll protect you and your family."

Rita was shocked, with a feeling of warm in her heart.

It was good of him to say that, but she didn't want to depend on him too much.

After having experienced death once a time, she understood a truth --

There was no one you can rely on forever, and you’d better be strong yourself.

Only when you became stronger can you protect what you want.

But she did not utter these words at the table.

She just squinted, smiled, and opened her mouth to eat the meat.

"Good." Liam kneaded her face with joy, and served her more food.

With admiration and sincere blessings, Lillian said, "I feel at ease when I know you are happy, Rita"

Not only she felt peace of mind, but also the declining sense of guilt.

Rita curled her lips and smiled. "You must be happy, too, Lillian."

"... Well, we both will be happy." Lillian smiled. Her gaze fell on Liam, and she said, "Rita's man, please keep an eye on your friends and introduce them to me if you think they are a good match to me."

Liam was not a nosy person, but he was delighted with Lillian calling him Rita's man.

For the first time, he said, "Well... Rita's man has it in mind."
