Hearing such ambiguous words, Rita immediately looked at the man who held her.
Oliver?
Why was he here?
She tried to stand firmly with so many questions.
However, she left a thank and wanted to keep away from him.
At the same time, Oliver grabbed her hand and kept her by his side.
“Why are you acting like a stranger?”
“We are strangers.”
Rita frowned.
Oliver pursed his mouth and complained, “I’ll feel sad if you say so.”
Rita felt awkward hearing his nauseating word.
Just as she wanted to refute, there was a sudden chill behind her. Almost instantly, she realized that Liam came behind her.
Perhaps, in her previous life, she cared too much about him, so that in this life, she could still feel his strong aura rapidly.
In the meanwhile, she felt the pain coming from the other hand.
And then she was pulled by Liam.
Seeing this, Oliver, who was beside Rita, squinted up her eyes and put forth his strength secretly on the hand which was grabbing Rita.
For a moment, Rita was pulled by them.
Because of the equal power, she was stranded in the middle of them.
At that moment, two of them was making eye contact and it seemed like there would be an explode in the air because of their anger towards each other.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wilson.” Oliver watched Liam, put a fake smile on his face, and gave a hard pull on Rita.
Feeling his pulling, Liam narrowed his eyes, looking gloomy. He said, “Let go.”
“Why?” Oliver smiled with danger behind it and said, “You should let her choose where to go.”
They darted a stare to each other and watched Rita at the same time.
Rita didn’t want to join their fight but she had no choice.
"My dessert, let's go. I'll treat you to coffee."
Before she could react, Oliver tried to take her away.
As soon as she moved a little bit, she felt the great anger of Liam which made her frightened.
In the previous life, his violence had been deep into her memories, so that this life she was still afraid of him.
However, soon later she got rid of this scare.
Even though she was not afraid of Liam, she still pushed Oliver away and took Liam's arm on her own and said, "Oliver, thank you for your kindness, but I have family affairs to deal with today. I'm sorry."
With the smile on his face gradually became stiffed, Oliver embarrassingly took his hand back.
"If there is nothing else, my husband and I should leave now." Rita nodded politely and took Liam to the Brown family which was being surrounded.
Oliver stood there and gravely saw them leaving.
And now, being held by Rita by the arm, Liam was comforted for a little bit.
*****
The Brown family was being surrounded by the reporters.
"Miss Brown, do you want to say something about the plagiarism incident in the design contest?"
“Miss Brown, please answer the question.”
“Miss Brown!”
All the reporters were staring at Charlotte.
Charlotte, who was surrounded in the middle, covered her face and hid behind Mason.
Because she had been hiding from answering, these entertainment reporters were still not willing to leave. There was one question after another. It seemed that they wanted to keep asking until she answered.
“Miss Brown, please answer.”
“Miss Brown!”
The reporters came forward again. Suddenly, Amelia was hit by someone and her crutch was crooked and she stumbled.
Seeing this, Charlotte was in panic. She supported her to stand firmly and asked, "Grandma, are you okay?"
“Do you think that I’m okay?” Amelia asked in an angry tone.
Charlotte felt guilty and stopped her hands.
Amelia pushed her away and said, “You’d better get rid of these annoying flies before you come to the hotel.”
“Yes.” Watching Amelia leaving, Charlotte nodded with her eyes full of tears.
Rita raised her brows when she saw what happened between Amelia and Charlotte.
Finally, Charlotte faced her own karma.
She should have experienced the disgrace and the tortures that she gave her in the previous life.
Rita stopped and indifferently watched Charlotte being surrounded by the reporters.
Liam, who was beside Rita, stopped as well.
He looked down to her and asked, “What did she do that made you hate your sister so much?”
Rita frowned and watched Charlotte whose reputation was ruined.
Sister?
She didn’t have such a disgusting sister.
“Rita?” Seeing Rita was absent-minded, Liam called her name again.
She was back from her wandering mind, narrowed her eyes and smiled, “I didn’t have any sister.”
Liam was astonished. And the emotion in his eyes became complicated.
