Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 199

After Zoe passed out, Rita and Noah both immediately showed up and the whole house just quieted down.

Then Rose bit her lips and acted to be worried, “Zoe! Are you okay? I... I really didn’t think that this would be such a big shock for you.”

Zoe even forced a tear or two and looked like she was really regretting.

Rita immediately figured out her fake crying and phoniness.

But Amelia really fell for her hypocrisy.

“Stop regretting. Hurry up! Let’s take her to the hospital.”

“Right!”

Having been in the Browns for half of her life, Rose naturally knew when it was time to admit being defeated. So she hurriedly came to Zoe and held her up.

“Don’t touch my mother.”

Seeing that Rose reached out her hand, Rita rejected coldly.

Rose was actually pretending to hold her, but she still took the opportunity and just turned to Amelia, “Mom, did you see this? How rude is Rita! How can she yell at her auntie? What would come after?”

Though Rose was the one who made the whole scene, her crying just magnified Rita’s bad attitude.

Rita can clearly feel that Amelia was looking at her with complicated eye-expression.

She instantly knew that Amelia was actually considering Rose’s words.

Rita wouldn’t be able to tell what Amelia was thinking about and just talked back to Rose in her previous lifetime, but in this lifetime, Rita had learned that the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

So she secretly pinched her thigh and immediately sobbed, “Auntie Rose, what are you talking about! Though I’m not the Browns biological daughter, mom and dad and grandma have been raising me for twenty years! I don’t think this genetic connection is anything more important than my parents’ upbringing in my eyes. I would never have the heart to control the Browns.”

While Rita was delivering this speech, her eyes were full of tears which was a great testament that she was really loyal to the Browns.

Amelia was really moved by her speech.

She was maybe suspecting Rita before, but she just thought how petty was she now to doubt Rita.

“Don’t cry, Rita. Grandma believes in you.” Amelia hurriedly soothed Rita and rolled her eyes at Rose, “You can just shut up if you don’t know what to say. You just think that everyone is like to covet the Browns’ fortunes, right?”

“Mom, I...”

“Apologize to Rita now!”

Rose wanted to explain but was directly cut mid-sentenced by Amelia.

She immediately froze, “Wh... what?”

“Didn’t you see how much you hurt Rita with your words? Apologize to Rita right now!” Amelia reproached Rose.

Apologize?

Did she really ask her to apologize to Rita?

Rose meant to alienate Rita and Amelia before, but how come the whole thing backfired and Amelia was protecting Rita?

Rose was really aggrieved and mad at this point. She nearly bit her mouth to bleed.

Rita noticed the indignant Rose with the corner of her eyes and was actually trying not to laugh.

She wiped her tears away and acted to be generous, “I’m okay, grandma. You don’t have to force auntie Rose. I know she didn’t actually mean to hurt me.”

“Did you just see how understanding is Rita? She is pleading for you! You just...”

The more Rita begged for, the more understanding was she in Amelia’s eyes.

Then Amelia just looked at Rose with dislike and disappointment.

Zoe only saw that baby once when she was born and now, she didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye to her. The sense of regret and sorrow were gnawing her heart like a beast.

Seeing how heartbroken was Zoe, Rita was distressed.

She gently hugged Zoe and sobbed, “Mom, I love you. I will love you and respect you for your another daughter. I want to thank you for giving birth to her and raising me.”

She wanted to thank her mom for giving all of her love to her.

She had nothing to pay her back but with her lifetime-long love.

Zoe froze for a minute when she heard Rita’s words.

She was touched by Rita’s words and felt like crying.

But Zoe knew that Rita would just feel more distressed and even sorry if she just cried hard at this moment.

She then took a deep breath and wiped her tears away, “Though I’m heartbroken because I lost a daughter, I’m grateful that I met my baby Rita. I really got no regrets.”

Amelia was really moved by the close bonding between Zoe and Rita.

She looked at Rita complicatedly and seemed to have made her mind up about something.

Amelia took the jade ring in her hand off and gave it to Rita, “Take this, Rita.”

“This... this is?”

Rita was really confused.

Amelia smiled, “You would be the heir to the Browns if you have this ring. The Browns would be in your hand later.”

Rita was really in shock. Zoe was also taken aback. ‘Is grandma running a fever?”

Didn’t she use to be on guard when it came to Rita? How come she just changed completely today?
