Jonathan was particularly shocked.
Did he hear it wrong?
Did Liam just ask him to buy sweets for Rita?
“I’m not going.”
Jonathan rejected angrily.
But then he met Liam’s cold eyes, “What?”
Jonathan was one of the most outstanding members in the shady staff of the Wilson family. Though he was just in his early twenties, he was really fierce outside.
His hands were covered with blood and was well respected by other people.
But he was really afraid of Liam.
“Fine. I’ll go.”
Seeing Jonathan’s aggrieved face, Rita can’t help laughing.
Jonathan rolled his eyes at her.
What the hell was she laughing about!
Not only did she pick on him, she was teasing him!
Sensing that Jonathan’s patience was growing thin, Rita forced back her smiles.
After all, Jonathan was a tough guy and can’t be messed with.
What if he just got mad and decided to seek his revenge...
So, she needed to mind her steps.
“Jonathan, you don’t have to force yourself. You can choose not going.”
Rita pretended to be considerate.
But the more she was pretending to be all sweet, the angrier was Jonathan.
“I’m really not...”
Jonathan muttered these three words stiffly.
Though she can clearly sense that Jonathan was reluctant, Rita just acted innocent.
“What are you waiting for then?”
“You... Don’t push your luck!”
Jonathan’s face darkened and looked fierce.
Rita’s head instantly went numb and froze.
But she straightened her back at the next second and said, “Well, can’t you just do this for me since I can save Jacob?”
Hearing Rita’s words, Jonathan looked disdainful, “You? Save Jacob? You wish.”
Emma held an important role in the Wilson’s family and can’t even persuade Liam.
Was Rita really thinking that she can pull something that Emma’s can’t off?
How foolish and stupid was she...
Though Liam spoiled her, he had limits.
“So you don’t believe me?” Rita raised her eyebrows because of Jonathan’s doubt.
“Of course I don’t believe you.”
“If I can save Jacob from being punished, you have to buy the rice paste for me with your own money. What about that?”
Seeing that Jonathan was silent, Rita further pushed, “Why are you all quiet? Are you afraid to take this bet?”
“Me? I’m certainly not afraid. Okay then, let’s up the ante. How about one million yuan?” He surly had confidence in Liam.
“No problem.” Rita smiled.
Though Liam didn’t hear Jonathan and Rita’s murmuring, Emma heard them clearly.
Emma really thought that they were fighting like little kids.
How childish...
While she was despising them inside, Rita landed her clear eyes on her, “Do you want to bet this too? Me or Jonathan?”
“Jonathan.” Emma answered.
Rita didn’t expect that Emma would join their bet, so she paused a second hearing Emma’s answer.
Well, Emma really wasn’t that hard to approach as she looked like.
“What are you looking at? Start your acting. I’m really busy.”
Emma urged cold-facedly.
Rita hurriedly recollected her thought and turned to Liam.
