Her heart quivered after she heard Liam's answer.
She went blank for a few seconds, and then questioned him.
"Why?"
'It was so obvious that he did not like her. In other words, he was so disgusted with her. Why he refused to divorce her?'
He stared at her with his piercingly cold eyes, and said, "You killed my Joey. I won’t forgive you and I must torture you."
Although she wasn’t legally responsible for Joey's death, he was going to make Rita pay the price in his own way.
"I was framed at that time. I was a victim as well. I once did love you, but it cannot be my sin. You cannot blame me for that."
Rita contradicted with firmness.
She had been keeping these words bottled up for so long that she finally spoke out today. She felt an indescribable sense of relief in the moment.
However, the next second, her chin was pinched. She felt that her jaw would be crushed. It was deeply hurt.
Liam pushed his face towards her and said, "Did I wrong you?"
They stared at each other, and Rita trembled a little due to his grumpy air.
She was not the only one who was nervous. Even the servant standing next to him were sweating because of Liam's grim face.
In the three years that the butler had been with Liam, the butler had never seen him look so livid, though he was usually of a cold disposition.
He looked like he was going to kill someone!
She was aware of an air of danger.
She evaded his scrutiny and forced her fear out of her mind.
She raised her head up without batting an eye, "I do not think you've wronged me. What I have said is the truth."
Her response made him angrier.
However, he was amazed by her unyielding determination to argue for herself.
