Sweet Divorce

Chapter 148 The Show is about to Start

“Well, you are back.” Charlotte greeted Rita weirdly as soon as she entered the door. “Well, you are just in time. Let’s just sit down and have a serious talk.”

Rita didn’t say anything and just stared at her.

“Sit down!” Sitting on the couch, Charlotte threw an already signed properties division paper to her and said, “Just sign your name here if you don’t have a problem with this.”

Rita actually found it hilarious that Charlotte was being so audacious.

How come that she was so self-confident now after she just went on a business trip for a few days?

It looked like that someone ought to be reminded of her identity and situation.

Thinking about this, Rita glanced at the maids coldly and said angrily, “Did you all forget why you are here?”

All the maids were confused by the sudden questioning.

“How can you just let some random person barge in and disturb grandmother’s rest?” Rota was obviously displeased and remained cold. “How can we let you stay here if you can’t even do this little thing right!”

Hearing her words, all the maids immediately understood what Rita was talking about.

She was blaming them for letting Charlotte in.

Charlotte had already been evicted by the grandmother who also said that she will never be allowed to enter this home ever again.

They were following the orders before, but today, Charlotte cried in tears that she was here to visit the injured grandmother, so they was touched and let her in.

They didn’t really think that Rita would be back today.

All the maids got scared then.

One of them swallowed a mouthful of spit and blamed everything on Charlotte, “She insisted on going in and we couldn’t even stop her.”

“Yes, yes.” The rest of them started chiming in to avoid being punished.

Seeing that they were blaming her, Charlotte’s face immediately darkened.

She finally understood what it was like to be targeted by other people after she lost her power.

While she was being spoiled by grandmother before, they were all obedient, but now, they just blamed her to save their own jobs.

How selfish were they!

Charlotte then rolled her eyes at all the maids.

But she was even more furious at Rita.

Rita that bitch was clearly reminding her that she was not one of the Wilsons anymore and had no right to ask for dividing the family fortunes by scolding the maids.

Though she didn’t say a word to her, she knew that she was warned.

Suppressing her inner anger, Charlotte knocked on the table and said, “I’m here to ask for part of the property that belongs to my father. I have no time to argue with you here.”

Then she glanced at the lawyer sitting next to her.

The lawyer immediately knew what she was referring to and said officially, “Miss Brown, I’m Lawyer Morgan, Charlotte and Mason’s attorney. Next up, I want to talk to you about...”

“Mr. Morgan, can I ask you a legal knowledge before we start?”

Rita cut the lawyer mid-sentenced.

Lawyer Morgan smiled, “Go ahead.”

“Does the children have the legal right to force the senior to distribute his/her property if she/he is still alive?” Rita asked elegantly.

Lawyer Morgan answered without hesitation, “No.”

“Well then, why are you here to talk with me?”

The lawyer immediately froze.

While fiddling with her fingers on the sofa, Rita cast Charlotte a scornful look and said, “Well, didn’t she tell you that all the family’s asset is under grandmother’s name?”

“This...” Lawyer Morgan’s face darkened and looked at Charlotte for proving.

Charlotte’s face was all pale and remained silent.

“Miss Brown, how come that you didn’t mention this to me before? This really puts us in an awkward position.” Looking at Charlotte, Lawyer Morgan complained.

Charlotte glared at the lawyer and said, “Well, you are the professional here. How come that I should know what to say or what not to say if you don’t ask me.”

“Well...”

“Enough. Aren’t you ashamed already?” Face darkened, Charlotte stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing that Charlotte wanted to leave, Rita waved her hand and stopped her, “Well, why don’t you stay longer since you are here. Just so it happens that I found a lot of suspicious points in grandma’s car accident. How about we discuss it together?”

Though her tone was consultative, there was still an air of fierceness that can’t be rejected.

Hearing that Rita mentioned car accident, Charlotte got a bit anxious inside.

But after thinking of something, she remained her cool and sneered, “I’m just an outcast here Shouldn’t sister you be the one who is responsible for everything in this family? I dare not to meddle in.”

“Cut the crap. Just sit here!”

Rita pushed Charlotte back to the sofa violently.

Feeling defiant, Charlotte struggled and tried to stand up but failed to do so.

She was already angry before. She was even furious at this point, “Rita, let go of me! Who gives you the right to restrict my freedom? Let go of me!”

“Rita, I’ve brought them over.”

Ted showed up with Jack at this moment.

Charlotte was stupefied because of Jack’s appearance.

What was happening here?

She clearly saw this person entering the security check in the International airport yesterday.

He should be abroad at this point.

Why... why was he here now?

Charlotte was feeling both confused and more insecure. She instantly became quiet.

“You are not leaving?”

Seeing that Charlotte stopped struggling, Rita raised her eyebrows.

Biting her lips, Charlotte pretended to be calm and said, “Well, I’d like to see what you are going to do here.”

“Well, just wait and see.” Rita smiled and sat on the couch.

Glancing at the trembling Jack, “Rita asked, “Tell me, who asked you to rig the Browns brake pad?”

“I... I didn’t.” Jack clenched his teeth and wouldn’t admit.

Rita was actually not surprised. She laughed, “What are you running for then?”

“Well, I just want to change a job. Can’t I do that?” Jack remained stubborn and wouldn’t tell the truth.

Seeing Jack’s reaction, Charlotte was actually relived.

Fortunately, Jack was somewhat reliable.

But it didn’t really matter since she was not the one who contacted him directly.

Thinking about this, Charlotte became calm.

Glancing at Rita, Charlotte sneered, “My dear sister, you asked me to stay just to show me this? How can you just accuse this poor man of rigging the brake pad without evidence?”

Rita didn’t say anything and just listened.

“I really thought that you can do better than this.” Charlotte took the chance and laughed to laugh at Rita. “What a waste of time.”

“Don’t rush. The show is about to start.” Rita smiled and winked at Ted.

Ted immediately waved to the people outside and Brian was soon brought inside.

Charlotte’s heart started beating wildly the moment she saw Brian.

Unlike how she was so cocky before, she was in great panic now.

Jack may mean nothing to him, but Brian was her boyfriend.

She asked Brian to do those things for her from the beginning.

If Brian spilled out the truth, she was done for.

Charlotte was immediately restless with anxiety and even started sweating.

Rita of course didn’t miss the fear that flied past Charlotte’s eyes.

She sneered inside.

Was she afraid now?
