Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 221

Liam carried Rita into the bathroom.

Seeing that Liam was about to unbutton her shirt, Rita got nervous and said hurriedly, “Don’t... I can just rinse my feet myself.”

Showering was really unnecessary.

What’s more, was Liam going to help her himself?

It was... It was a bit too much...

Rita then took off her shoes and immediately grabbed the shower head to cover her blushed face.

Liam let out a light smile and pinched Rita’s chin, “Are you being shy?”

Being forced to meet Liam’s indifferent face, Rita gathered her cool, “I’m certainly not. There isn’t a part of me that you haven’t seen before... What’s left to be shy about? There really isn’t the need to have a full shower since it’s just my ankle that is dirty. Well, you must be busy. You can just go deal with your own stuff. I will hose my feet myself.”

Liam then let go of her chin in a few seconds, “Sure.”

Rita immediately fell against the wall the minute after Liam left.

She was just toughening it out after what a roller-coaster experience she had before, but she would still have that throbbing fear just thinking about that horrible image.

But what she can’t shake off her mind was the sentences that Liam said.

She was really moved and felt sorry for him.

At the same time, Liam was sitting on the sofa cold-facedly.

There was an increasing note of oppressiveness coming from his eyes which was without a doubt intimidating.

Jacob and the man standing next to him were all tensed up and dared not to move a muscle.

They were perfectly aware that Liam was mad about what happened just now.

Jacob glanced at Liam secretly with the corner of his eyes.

His back started sweating profusely when he noticed Liam’s darkened face.

His whole mind had frozen because of the extreme pressure and didn’t really know how to savage the situation.

Liam then suddenly spoke, “One hundred canings.”

Jacob froze a bit because of Liam’s words, but he soon nodded, “Yes.”

Hearing that Jacob responded, the face of the boy standing next to him changed.

Though the boy looked lean, he was really agile and skilled.

He was actually Jonathan Bates, a prominent shady staff in the Wilson family.

He spearheaded a lot of shady things for the Wilson family.

He was groomed to be a shady staff from a young age and surly knew what Liam meant by one hundred canings, that is, Jacob would be thrashed one hundred times by a rod of 10-centimer in diameter.

An ordinary person would probably be half-dead after ten canings. Though Jacob was pretty agile and tough, he won’t be able to survive one hundred canings.

He and Jacob were like brothers, so he definitely won’t let Jacob endure this punishment.

Jonathan then hurriedly dropped to his knees and begged, “Liam, I’m willing to shoulder half of Jacob’s canings.”

“Cut the nonsense.” Jacob frowned and wanted to lift Jonathan up, “Liam, don’t listen to him. I’ll serve my punishment myself.”

While Jonathan and Jacob were quarreling, a slender figure walked in.

“What is going on?”

Jonathan’s face brightened hearing this clear female sound.

Finally, Jacob will be saved!

He turned around gleefully and saw the aloof Emma dressed in a simple dress.

An aura of coldness and fierceness was naturally radiating from her.

Her strong and aggressive vibe was nothing like that her cute name would suggest.

Emma was like thorny rose that would prick anyone who would dare to approach her to bleed.

She was both smoking-hot and intimidating.

Jonathan immediately hugged Emma and said sweetly, “Emma, Liam is going to punish Jacob with one hundred canings for that woman! You have to discourage him.”

Emma and Jonathan were like brothers and sisters inside the shady staffs.

Jonathan was indifferent to everyone but Emma.

Emma knew clearly which woman Jonathan was talking about.

Though she was performing tasks abroad these days, she knew what happened to the Wilsons recently.

It was said that Rita had changed into a different person.

Not only hadn’t she caused any troubles, but she also got a divorce with Liam.

She actually started viewing her with a new light, but still, she despised Rita from the bottom of her heart.

She had always thought that Rita was not good enough for Liam, so for her, Rita’s divorce with Liam was definitely a good thing.
