Sweet Divorce novel Chapter 144

Outside a hotel affiliated to the Wilson Group, Liam parked his Maybach.

Rita cradled Lillian with one hand and tried to open the door with the other. Liam got the car and spared her the difficulty by opening the door for her.

“Thanks.”

Rita hauled Lillian, who was shitfaced, out of the car, and then moved her eyes on Liam. “I’ll take her upstairs.”

“I’ll go with you.”Liam glanced at Rita’s shaking leg and frowned.

As he tried to take Lillian from Rita to relieve her, a car rushed by and parked before them.

Jacob got off the car, his face complex. He trotted up to Liam and whispered to his ears. “Liam, It went wrong She…”

He swallowed the rest of his sentence when he spied Rita.

Rita took note of that. Dragging Lillian, she headed toward the hotel. “I’ll leave you two alone, I’m taking Lillian to her room.”

“Just say it.” Liam announced. He didn't have to hide anything from her.

Liam gave the hotel staff a look. And then immediately, a manager came out and brought Lillian in.

Rita stood still, wordless.

“Are you sure, Liam?” asked Jacob.

“Go on.”

Liam said resolutely.

Jacob brooded, and then confessed. “Nora was kidnapped.”

“Kidnapped?” Rita blurted.

“Right.” Jacob chewed his lip.

“What do you mean? Who took her?”

To explain, Jacob had to start with how Liam sent people to watch Nora so that she would not run, and how their people got knocked out and lost Nora after they left W university.

After hearing out Jacob, Rita’s face was complex when she looked at Liam.

So, he never thought of forgiving Nora.

She misunderstood him.

“That’s the whole story… now she’s nowhere to find.”Jacob summed.

“So, you lost her?”Liam peered at Jacob and said.

He voice was rather low, but powerful.

Jacob’s throat was tight when he met Liam’s eyes.

Damn, he lost Nora and Liam’s mad now. He’s screwed.

Despite his fear, Jacob felt something was wrong.

Liam strayed away from the thrust of the problem.

Shouldn’t Liam ask who took Nora, why did they do so, and where is Nora now?

“It’s not the time to blame him for losing Nora. “ Rita said, glancing over Jacob. “We have to figure out who did this and why they wanted to take Nora.”

“That’s right. Rita is right.” Jacob nodded hurriedly.

Rita paused for a second when she heard that Jacob agreed with her.

Was she having an illusion? Jacob said that she was right? He had been opposing her before.

That’s weird.

A coat covered her as she drifted off.

“Me and Jacob will figure these out and tell you…go in the hotel, it’s cold out here.”

Rita agreed.

Rita had many suspicions about this. But this was not something that could be solved in haste.

It would be better to let Liam do the investigation.

She went to Lillian to take care of her after seeing Liam off.

Lillian cried for two hours clutching Rita before she fell asleep.

But even in her sleep, Lillian still mewled once a while.

Rita sat by Lillian lest Lillian would do something crazy. As time went by, she dozed, and then fell asleep.

“Why? Why does he like you?”

“You know I love him, I can’t lose him, I’m sorry…”

In trance, Rita heard someone murmuring.

Slowly, Rita opened her eyes and met a pair of watery eyes.

Lillian was startled when she saw Rita was awake. “You’re awake?”

“How could I not be with you prattling at my ear?”

“You, you heard?” Lillian’s face became pale, she felt like someone just caught her at some evil business.

Rita chuckled. “What? You act like you have done something bad to me. Did you, huh? You’d better confess your deed.”

“No… I didn't.” she didn’t hear it.

Lillian averted her eyes from Rita and peered at the wine on the table.
