Sweet Divorce

Chapter 95 Expel

In a clubhouse, an old man in a white suit knocked at Rita’s left leg. The pain caused by the knocking mad Rita clench her hands tightly, her fingers digging into her palm.

Suddenly, her fist was wrapped by someone’s hand.

The sudden warmth gave her goose bumps. Subconsciously, she gave Liam a sideway look.

“Don’t hurt yourself.”Liam had always been good at hiding emotions. But right now, the pain he felt for Rita was obvious in his eyes.

The affection on his face surprised Rita. She froze for a moment.

Distracted, Rita loosened her grip. And Liam took the chance to hold her hands, their fingers interlocked. “Grab my hands if it hurts.”

Rita lowered her head and stared at their hands for a few seconds. Unnoticeably, she frowned.

She would have wrenched her hand out if not for her parents here with them. So she could only cooperate Liam with his show and made a smile.

The Browns took vicarious pleasure from the scene.

They shall have no regrets in their life now that their daughter found her happiness.

Rita broke Liam’s grip when her parent went to ask the doctor after the diagnosis.

But next second she felt a hand on her waist.

Liam pulled her to himself and hugged her closely.

Rita glowered at him. “Get off me, Liam!”

“Your parents are heading back.”

Liam said flatly.

Rita jerked her head up and met her mother’s eyes. Her mother was studying her.

For an instant, she reclined back again Liam’s chest so that her parents would not detect any anomaly. They just looked like a pair of lovey dovey.

Liam peered at the girl in his arms and smiled uncontrollably.

Due to the doctor’s schedule, they had only one hour this afternoon. So for the outcome and other specifics, they agreed on having another appointment a few days later.

Rita’s parents parted way with them after they left the clubhouse.

The smile on Rita’s face disappeared immediately when their parents were out of their sight.

She took a step to the left to keep a distance with Liam, “Are you satisfied now?”

Liam frowned for a second, “Get in, I’ll drive you back.”

“No need to bother you, Mr. Liam. I’ll take a cab.” She refused without hesitation, she really didn't want to spend one more second with him.

A half-hour drive could ruin her defense system toward him.

She lost control of herself too often today. She needed sometime alone for introspection.

Why her temper management always collapsed when it came to Liam?

It shouldn’t be like this.

She had died before. Her emotions couldn’t be triggered by the same man so easily.

Maybe Liam noticed Rita’s loathing, he didn't follow her.

She had been long suppressed, and now she finally relieved.

Out of respect for Doctor Houghton, she muted her phone when she was in the clubhouse. Her phone rang repeatedly when she turned on notification.

With so many messages coming in, her phone crashed for a second.

She clicked on one of the notifications, then the screen switched to the school’s forum.

It was a reply to her post unveiling the truth of the scandalous photos of her and Oliver. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“How much did Rita pay you to redeem her? check out the link below, there has just been another scandal about her.”

“Slap in the face, huh?”

“Waiting for an explanation, and another twist of the story.”

The comments puzzled her.

Another scandal?

What happened?

She switched to the homepage and saw a post vilifying her as three-timer at first glance.

A layer of ice crept up on her face when she saw the photo.

That was her and Liam!

But someone put mosaics on the car plate and Liam purposely while her face could be recognized immediately.

Someone was trolling her. inducing people to attack her.

Rita scrolled down the page and as she expected, there was hail of abuse on her in the comment section.

“Brazen bitch! The thought of her being my alumna makes me ashamed.”

“EXPEL Rita Brown!”

“She tainted the school.”

There was even a petition asking to expel Rita.

The scandal with Olive before just affected her own reputation. But today’s scandal raised the problem to a whole another level

Her phone rang when she was reading comments. It was her tutor.

“Hello, Miss.”

“Rita, have you checked the forum?” the tutor’s voice thick with concern, “the first and the third post.”

“I saw them.”

Contrast to her tutor, anxious, Rita was rather calmer.

The voice on the phone paused for a few seconds. “Rita, the influence is terrible, and it's getting worse. The board just asked if this is true, but I thought I should talk to you first.”

“Rita, about the scandal…”

The tutor didn’t finish, Rita knew she was waiting for her to answer.

Calmly, she said, “Would you believe me if I told you it was cooked?”

“Uh…”

Once again, the tutor paused. Then Rita knew she wouldn’t.

If she were her tutor, she wouldn’t believe either.

“Rita, the school is under intense pressure right now. The students are rallying together to ask the school for an explanation. If you can’t give us a proper one within three days, I’m afraid that…”

Her tutor’s voice rang again, it was not a result that surprised Rita.

It didn’t rattle her, she kept her composure and said. “I see, you’ll have it, within three days.”
