Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 44

Rita stared at the poached spicy slices of pork in her bowl. She didn't expect Mason to mention the past. He even almost cried. Well played!

She swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at the Browns sitting opposite her.

Liam, her parents, Amelia, Charlotte, and Mason were all staring at her, waiting for her answer.

The Browns expected her to help them make it through. But why was Liam staring at her like that? What did it mean?

"Well ..."

All the Browns were eager to hear the answer they wanted. When she paused suddenly, everyone was in a panic. Some even began to worry, looking at her with disappointment.

"Rita, what are you hesitating about? This is your chance to please Grandma. If you can help Grandma out, maybe you can be back to the genealogy again!" Charlotte whispered in her ear, feigning concern.

Rita smiled, but she knew what she was up to. Charlotte had never been kind to her. This was just another setup.

Rita looked up at Mason and said, "Mason."

"Yes, fire away," he replied happily.

"I can't help you with this," Rita refused solemnly. Immediately, Mason's smile froze.

More accurately, all the Browns' smile disappeared. Even Liam turned to her curiously.

She had actually refused to help her family.

Didn't she worry that her parents would have a hard time? His eyes narrowed slightly with curiosity. He would like to see what she was going to do.

"Rita, wh-what did you just say? I ... I didn't hear you clearly," Mason asked with a forced smile.

"As far as I know, because you failed to deliver the goods in time as agreed in the contract, the major wholesalers got the new goods more than ten days later than usual. That's why they canceled the PO in a fit of rage."

Rita had hit the nail on the head. Mason looked uneasy and awkward. "They purchased too many goods. The workers couldn't make them in time. The time was too pressing. What could I do? Besides, I was only ten days late. What's the big deal? Did they have to cancel the PO?"

"Mason, the clothing business is different from the others. It must keep up with the trend! You may miss a trend when you're a dozen days late. Then the goods you have now will be out of style, and the price will be much lower than before.

"But the price you gave the wholesalers was still the same. They naturally wouldn't agree.

"If the Wilson's family helps, it'll be like spending money on a bunch of outdated clothes. It's going to be a waste of money." Rita pressed her lips, sounding serious. "This is business. The Wilsons can't help you."

Rita's analysis was right. Liam was surprised. It seemed that he had underestimated her before.

And he didn't expect her to be so calm. Looking at her, he smiled in appreciation.

"So, you just don't want to help me." Immediately, Mason's face darkened. "Rita, I loved you for nothing. You let me down, and you failed our family! Now we are in trouble and need you, but you just sit there and do nothing. You're no family!"
