Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 65

20 minutes later.

Liam's right arm was obviously slightly numb because of Rita's pressing. He glanced at the sleeping woman beside him but still didn't move. He just let her kept leaning on him.

In the meanwhile, Rita’s head was slipped from his shoulder. When he was about to hold up her head, Rita was awake. At the same time, Liam drew back his hand so that Rita didn’t see it.

“Have we arrived?”

Rita darted a glance at the man beside her and sat upright.

Liam looked forwards and gave an affirmative reply stonily.

"Did I fall asleep for a long time?" Rita was surprised by the time on the screen of her mobile phone.

It was almost three o’clock!

She must be asleep for a long time.

She asked in embarrassment, “Have we arrived long ago?”

“We got here just now.”

"We just arrived?" She remembered that it was not too far from hotel to the hospital. It was very strange that it took them 20 minutes more than usual to get here this time.

"Well, there's a traffic jam on the road."

Rita had no doubt about his explanation.

It wasn't until she got out of the car that Liam in the driver's seat moved his numb right arm.

For fear that she might find out, he just simply pinched his arm and got out of the car.

The moment the door opened, his face returned to the former indifferent look.

"Doctor, doctor, twenty more minutes! My friend is about to send me the money right away! " As soon as them came in the hospital, they heard Isabelle's hoarse voice begging.

"I'm sorry but I can't help you." The doctor slowly pushed her away and looked at the nurses, "There's a patient downstairs who has already checked in. He's coming up soon. Go and make the bed quickly."

And then the doctor left without hesitation.

Watching the nurses pushed her paralyzed mother out of the ward, Isabelle was anxious to tears. She madly called Charlotte again and again.

However, there was nobody answered the phone.

The last time she called her, Charlotte had shut down the phone.

Hearing the massage on the phone, Isabelle was stunned and didn’t know what to do.

Looking at the mobile phone screen, Isabelle still took chances with her hand trembling slightly, thinking that it must be Charlotte's mobile phone had no power.

Charlotte won’t brush her off, she believed.

Suddenly, she heard the footstep behind her.

She burst into tears with joy and turned around, "Charlotte, I knew you would come... Rita?"

To her dismay, she saw Rita and Liam coming and she couldn't help but knitted her brows.

Isabelle stared at the empty elevator behind them with her eyes full of disappointment.

"Don't be silly, Charlotte won't come." Seeing through Isabelle's mind, Rita directly tore her last hope.

Isabelle was about to walk away with her face looked clouded.

"You don't know about the plagiarism problem of Charlotte in the design competition, do you?"

Hearing this, Isabelle stopped her steps.

She didn’t know any of this, but this had nothing to do with her. So, she decided to ignore Rita.

"Because of her plagiarism, all her cards have been frozen. If you want to wait for her to rescue you, I'm afraid it's impossible." Seeing Isabelle being so stubborn, Rita added.

Now she stopped here still completely.

Even if she didn't look back, Rita could guess how she looked pale at the moment.

Rita knew, what she said worked.

Rita took out her mobile phone and quickly tapped on the screen. Then she showed what she found to Isabelle and said, "If you don't believe me, take a look at our school online community. There are some discussions about her these days."

Isabelle took the mobile phone out in doubt, and soon saw the posts about Charlotte.

Charlotte really plagiarized the work of others?

They really got her cards frozen?

Isabelle watched the screen. And her mind drifted to the morning when Charlotte suddenly said that she had used up her credit cards quota with a pale face.

And now Charlotte had shut down her phone which made Isabelle in panic.

“Now you can believe me, Miss Anderson?”

Rita looked at Isabelle who was trembling her hands severely. She took out a gold credit card from her pocket and said, "Miss Anderson, although Charlotte can't help you, I can help you pay the hospital bills."

Rita put the card into her hand and said, "Go, pay the bills for your mother."

"I..." Isabelle looked down at the card in her hand. She was hesitating, but when she saw her mother who was driven to the corridor, she suddenly grasped the card firmly.

She looked around at Rita and asked, “You want me to tell the truth in that year?”

"It's all up to you. I won't force you to do it." Rita smiled sweetly, turned to the direction of the elevator and added, "You can use the money if you need, I won't refuse to pay the bills of your mother just because you don't tell the truth."

Isabelle was shocked by her trust.

Did she just leave?

Shouldn't she use her mother to coerce her into telling the truth?

Isabelle looked down at the card in her hand with her heart full of complex feelings and asked, "Are you not afraid that I can't give you the answer you want even if I use the money?"

"No." Rita stopped and smiled at her, "I believe you will give me what I want." She believed in confidence that she would find evidences sooner or later.

Her trust and her bright smile totally shocked Isabelle.

What a silly girl!

How could she be so stupid to trust a person who had framed her up?
