After the car just drove out of the underground parking, it started drizzling.
The air then started getting humid.
This kind of humidity was not unusual for normal people, but for Rita, it was like a torture.
She felt incredibly itchy on her left foot because of the weather change and wanted to scratch those scars.
Because there were other people in the car, she can only force the urge to scratch her feet.
But failing to withhold it anymore, she secretly stepped on her left foot using her right foot so she would feel painful rather than itchy.
‘It was so itchy!”
Rita lowered her head and stepped her left foot even harder.
But this clumsy trick didn’t actually work.
“What’s wrong?” Liam suddenly asked.
Pausing her action, Rita shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
Hearing these two perfunctory words, Liam’s face darkened.
He then stooped and held Rita’s left foot by force.
Liam then naturally saw all the bruises and scars on her ankle and left foot. He then paused all of a sudden and asked, “How did you get all these scars?”
Facing Liam’s questioning, Rita was feeling both heartbroken and furious.
‘Did he actually ask her that question? Didn’t he cause all of these?’
All the painful memories started flashing back and Rita’s face was terrible.
She stared at Liam who was sitting next to her in red eyes and sneered, “Well, Mr. Wilson, aren’t you forgetful?”
Looking at Rita’s face, Liam frowned and suddenly sensed something. He then asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
“Well, it doesn’t matter now.”
‘How can he forget? He probably won’t care for her even she was dead! Moreover, he just got furious and maimed her left leg for the woman he loved.’
Rita was bitterly disappointed.
Then she wanted to pull out her foot from Liam’s palm, but failed to do so because of his tight grasp.
She was even dragged even closer to Liam.
Her eyes suddenly met a pair of angry eyes. “What do you mean? Make it clear!”
He can clearly sense the questioning and sneer in her eyes.
“Let go of me!” Instead of explaining, Rita struggled again.
But at the next second, Liam suddenly strengthened his strength which sent pain all over Rita’s body.
Rita’s face turned pale because of the sharp pain and didn’t dare to move.
She then said in a trembling voice, “Let... let go of me!”
Seeing how painful she was, Liam suddenly released his hands.
Rita retracted her feet and cuddled herself in pain.
Lowering her head, Rita wanted to use the train of her dress to cover all the scars on her left foot and really didn’t want other people’s attention, and was even more afraid that she would sunk into her horrible past.
Looking at her, Liam felt weird inside.
Then all people in the car got silent.
Rita can only hear the pattering of rain drops on the car window.
When they got to the Wilson’s mansion, Rita got off the car in high heels and wobbled into the house without looking back.
Watching her back, Liam’s eyebrows furrowed.
Liam turned around and landed his eyes on Jacob. “Look into this.”
“Okay.” Though Liam didn’t say anything, Jacob knew perfectly well what he was trying to say.
Liam must want him to investigate how Rita’s foot got hurt.
