Liam’s smile was so elegant and charming, but Rita felt her blood frozen.
He seemed to give her a choice, but in fact he didn't.
What she could do is to compromise.
Rita’s clenched her hands into fists.
Although she was reconciled to compromise, she had got to accept the unfavorable conditions.
Once she mentioned divorce in front of Grandpa, Liam was so pitiless that he would let the Brown family drive her parents into desperate situation at once.
In the previous life, because of her, her parents were driven out of the house, and were bullied by uncle and his family.
In this life, she must avoid the tragedy.
As for the divorce, she could wait a little longer.
It wouldn’t be late to get a divorce until she was strong enough to support her parents and herself.
But now it’s impossible for her to divorce, she’d ask the man for some favors for fair.
She looked at the man and smiled: "I won't mention divorce in front of grandpa, Jim, but... I want the land in West Blue Bay."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Liam gave a satisfied smile.
But when he heard the other half, he pursed his lips and gazed at her coldly.
"Woman, what makes you think you are qualified to make deal with me, huh?"
The man squinted at Rita, deliberately emphasizing the last nasal sound, as if he were taunting her for being over-confident."
Rita sneered, "I am not eligible, but I am committed to a life and death struggle against you. I’m not afraid of you!"
Liam suddenly grabbed her by the neck, pressing his eyes into lines. Immediately the atmosphere got intense.
How dare she threaten him.
Damn it!
Just as the atmosphere was so intense that something was going to break out, the housekeeper, Edward Hall, hurried into the living room clutching a few pieces of paper in his hand. "Mr. Wilson......"
Seeing the hardened face of the man on the sofa, Edward stopped
Shit!
It seems that he came in at a wrong time!
What should he do, is it OK to get out now?
Standing there, Edward was in a quandary, swallowing in distress.
"Go on!” The man said. However, his eyes and hands did not move away from the woman, but pressed even harder."
Unable to breathe, Rita's face was full of pain.
Edward took a quick look at Rita, and then went to Liam’s side whispering, "The old Mr. Wilson...."
Rita can't hear what Edward said, but she felt Liam’s face got more hardened. A slight emotion change flipped in his dark eyes.
What can make this man moved?
Wondering, Rita secretly glanced at the paper in the hand of Edward, and saw a medical record sheet and the name of the old Mr. Wilson.
She recollected all memories of her previous life..
If not wrong grandpa died of heart problems soon later.
Did Liam know grandpa's physical condition?
When Rita was full of questions, she was flung away by the man.
"... The West Blue Bay is yours. The man's voice came from above. Rita looked at Liam with confusion.
