In a taxi, Rita was concentrated on her world, looking outside.
Until the phone rang, she came to her senses.
“Rita, we just checked out the publisher’s IP address!” Isabelle was thrilled to tell her the news before Rita replied.
Hearing this, Rita held her phone more firmly and became unsettled, “Tell me the details.”
“The IP address belongs to a cybercafé.”
“Ok. Now send me the address and the name of the café. I will be there as soon as possible to find out the publisher’s identity through the CCTV.”
Obtaining the valuable clue, Rita couldn’t even wait for a second to solve the problem.
She was dying to know who wrote that post for what kind of purpose.
Only by figuring out the answers, she was able to find the solution.
Otherwise, she could do nothing.
“I must tell you that we’ve discovered the publisher who is…” Isabelle paused for a second, and continued slowly, “Nora.”
“What?”
“Tom traced the IP to the computer which was used by her in the cybercafé. Besides, we have also found the page of the old school’s website in that computer.”
Listening to the evidence that Isabelle provided, Rita became grim and stern.
It’s Nora that created and nourished the public opinions.
Rita thought that she was quite closely-related to the Nash family.
After Marsh family’s bankruptcy, Rita decided to forgive the family.
However, to her surprise, the family members stitched her up stealthily.
She always believed that she would never hurt others if they didn’t offend her. But as a girl afraid of nothing and no one, she also perfectly illustrated the idiom, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
At that moment, she clenched the phone more firmly with cold and stony face.
She decided to prepare a counterattack against Nora who hit her first.
In the previous incarnation, she happened to discover Nora’s secret which seemed helpful to her now.
“Rita, if Nora plans to harm you, it will be difficult to conceal the affair between you and Oliver since you and she are like an enemy to each other.”
“You are right. To be exact, we are deadly enemies,” Rita added. Then Isabelle was more nervous and anxious,
“What…what shall we do?”
“If your reputation is not saved in time, your career as a designer will be impeded and your diamonds will fail to sell as someone may give you a frame-up when the diamonds you designed come onto the market.”
Isabelle just told Rita what she was worried about as well.
Although the affair was known by the students on the campus, she was likely to suffer more from the surroundings if there were exaggerations. However, Rita stopped worrying at once and smiled happily, saying slowly, “Take it easy. I’ve come up with a plan.”
“Really? In such a short time?”
“Yes.” Rita looked at the outside through the window, with bright eyes. Now, it’s the show time, she thought.
After asking Isabelle to do something important, Rita hang up the phone.
She started drafting the whole plan by arranging the steps logically.
Then she looked at the driver in the front seat, “Sir, please turn left at that intersection because I want to go back.”
“No problem.”
The driver turned to her curiously, “What happened to you, little girl? Have you forgotten anything?”
“No. I am to negotiate with someone.”
The driver didn’t treat her words seriously and sent her back to the Wilson’s.
Her returning surprised both the two persons in the restaurant.
And there was a subtle difference. Jacob was so stunned that he unconsciously opened his mouth.
The other one on the sofa with legs crossed, Liam looked quite calm but his emotion was somewhat influenced.
“Are you still busy? If not, I have something to talk with you guys. It’s about the advertisement of my diamond.” Rita looked at them, showing her purpose directly.
Did she return just for work?
Liam managed to hide his disappointment and when he looked up at her, he was as usual, “Tell me your ideas and demands.”
“I want to design the advertisement by myself and decide who take the advertising shoot.”
“So do you have the list of candidates?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Who are selected by you?” Liam was interested and gave her a searching look.
He was a businessman whose behaviors and decisions were profit-oriented.
Obviously, Rita would gain some benefit from the advertisement so she wanted to participate in it. Therefore, he wanted to know what’s in her mind.
“I and Oliver.” She told him with hesitation.
Liam was silent with anger.
For an instant, the temperature of the whole hall seemed decreasing remarkably and the room seemed frozen completely
At that moment, stealing a covert glance at his brother who was visibly grave, Jacob closed his eyes hopelessly
Jesus Christ!
What the hell with the woman?
Why did she always make Liam agitated?
Because of Oliver, Liam was furious just now. And this time, how dare the foolish girl mention the name in front of him again?
And she even wanted to do the commercials of a diamond with Oliver. She was courting disaster like an idiot, Jacob thought.
‘Please don’t trouble me!’
‘I can kneel down to you for this.’
