Sweet Divorce
Chapter 60 Bumping into Isabelle

'Once bitten, twice shy!' This was actually Rita's feeling right now.

That unexpected kiss last night really scared her which she was still thinking now.

Rita kept avoiding him and was afraid that he might do something crazy.

But Liam suddenly stretched out his arm to touch her cheek.

Rita immediately dodged and said, "Liam, stop messing with me!"

"Stop moving!"

Liam stopped her poker-facedly and removed the yellow leaves which were stuck between her hairs.

Leaves?

So... he was just trying to take off some dirty things from her head, but not...

Realizing her foolish thought, Rita blushed crimson and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

"Yeah."

Responding to her thanks, Liam sat up straight.

After the car opened, Rita got off the car at the fastest speed.

After getting the fresh air, Rita felt less embarrassed than before.

She followed Liam into the elevator.

Feeling awkward about before, Rota was looking at her foot the whole time in the elevator.

In a minute, the elevator stopped at the middle floor.

Seeing that a doctor was about to enter the elevator, Rita subconsciously moved closer to Liam so that the elevator can have more room.

Sensing her action, the doctor smiled at her politely and stepped into the elevator.

"Doctor Andrews, please give me more time! Tomorrow... I will definitely pay the hospital bill for my mother tomorrow!" A black figure followed the doctor into the elevator. Hearing this familiar sound, Rota immediately looked up.

This voice just sounded like Isabelle's.

Tilting her head in confusion, Rita looked at the woman who entered the elevator last and saw Isabelle's face just as she expected.

At this moment, Isabelle was practically begging the doctor, "Doctor Andrews, please, just give me one more day."

"Miss Anderson, you have already owned the hospital sixty thousand yuan which you haven't been able to pay for three months." Doctor Andrews let out a sigh and pushed Isabelle away slightly. "I'm sorry, but if you can't pay all the hospital bill before, we have to let you go. There is nothing I can do about it."

"But..."

"Miss Anderson, I have to prepare for an operation now. Please stop following me around. I suggest that you should try to raise money now. Otherwise, we would take back the hospital bed this afternoon before two o'clock." The doctor the stepped out of the elevator quickly after the door opened.

Isabelle's eyes immediately started welling up because of the rejection.

But knowing there were other people present, she clenched her teeth and wanted to force back her tears, but failed to do so. Her tears just dropped on the ground. Someone suddenly handed her a tissue.

Isabelle took the tissue embarrassingly and said in a coarse voice, "Thanks."

"No worries."

Hearing her voice, Isabelle froze and the hand which was holding the tissue started trembling.

It can't be...

It can't be so coincidental!

Isabelle looked up and saw the woman who was standing behind her through the reflection of elevator mirror. After realizing that it was Rita, Isabelle suddenly stopped breathing and her heart started beating insanely. Rita then nodded to her politely.

But Isabelle hurriedly avoided her look and lowered her head.

At this moment, the elevator door opened, so Isabelle walked out of the door quickly in embarrassment.

Rita wanted to chase after her immediately, but her footsteps suddenly paused and looked at Liam who was standing next to her, "Liam, can you lend me some money?"

"Are you trying to use the money to let her talk?" Liam saw her right through and warned her coldly, "Don't be so naïve. Some people just can't be bought by money." Isabelle, for example.

Of course he had also let Jacob try this money thing before.

But Isabelle just turned it down.

"Don't worry about it. You just need to lend me the money." Rita looked at him stubbornly. "So can you lend me sixty thousand yuan?"

"Sure."

Hearing his straightforward answer, Rita got excited.

She reached out her hand smilingly, "I'll pay you back ten thousand a month, in six installments."

"You don't have to pay me back." Liam gave her a card and stared at her, "You can trade this money with something else."

Hearing his former part of sentence, Rita was astounded. But then she got confused later.

He sure was a businessman and would never make a losing bargain.

What's more, he hated her to guts.

"There is no need of that. I'll pay you back in money." Rita shook her head and wanted to take Liam's card, but he dodged.

Rita paused a bit and looked at him in bewilderment.

Liam was just leaning over and looked at her right into her eyes.

Their distance was so close that she can even see Liam's pores and count his lashes...

Rita suddenly got nervous.

Liam whispered to her ears, "I will just trade this money."

Just trade?

Rita lowered her head and took a look at herself. She didn't have anything now. What things can Liam possibly want from her?

Apart from...

Rita's face suddenly darkened. "Forget it. I don't want your money now. What's more, I will never sell you my freedom! I will definitely get a divorce soon or later!"

Never!

Pushing Liam away violently, Rita left in anger.

But at the very next second, her arm was tightly grasped by a pair of big hands and she was forced to stay still.

Glaring at the man behind her, Rita said, "Let me..."

"I want to buy out your diamond ring design in the design contest."

Liam directly cut her half-sentenced.

Rita was taken aback.

He wanted to buy her design?

While Rita was still thinking what was going on, Liam had already shoved the card into her hand, "Sixty thousand yuan would just be the down payment.”

Rita then asked in disbelief, "Are you really buying out my design?"

"The password is 666666." Liam just ignored her question and said this sentence. Then he walked to the balcony. "Meet me here in ten minutes."

Looking at the golden card in her hand, Rita was still in shock.

Was he really buying out her design?

Though surprised, Rita accepted the deal pretty quickly.

Aside from their personal conflict, Liam was a shrewd businessman. He was good at sizing up the situation. Since he was willing to buy her design himself, it can only show that her design had commercial value.

Well then, she would just take this money rest assured.

After all, she really needed this money.

Putting the card in her pocket, Rita turned around and chased Isabelle.

She followed the direction that Isabelle disappeared into, but failed to catch her.

Looking at the empty hall way, Rita drooped her shoulders disappointedly.

She let out a sigh and was about to leave, but a pair of woman shoes suddenly appeared in front of her and somebody asked, "Why are you stalking me?"

Hearing Isabelle's questioning, Rita pinched the credit card and said, "I'm here to pay the hospital bill for you.”

Staring at Rita, Isabelle sneered, "We barely know each other. Why would you do this for me?"

"..."

"I appreciate this, but I will never use a stranger's money."

After saying these words coldly, Isabelle passed Rita and walked towards the ward.

Watching Isabelle's back, Rita was panicking inside.

Was she really leaving without getting any useful information just like Liam predicted?

'No! This is about her innocence!'

She can replace the evidence as long as Isabelle started talking, then she would be able to get a divorce!

So there was no way that she would give up now!

Thinking about this, Rita immediately turned around and called, "Wait a moment!"
