Sweet Divorce

Chapter 225 I’ll Invest 100 Million

The Browns poisoning accident was finally over.

The police started investigating Michael because of Rita’s post.

With the police lurking behind, Michael and his accomplices dared to cause any troubles for now.

The Browns returned to operation again.

But the deal that Rita made with Jason still stood.

But...

After thinking for a while, Rita decided to resign.

The purpose of working in the subsidiary of the Browns was that she can protect her father from serving in the prison.

Now the mole was exposed and her father was safe, she didn’t have to work in this branch any more.

“Why are you resigning all of a sudden?”

Nathan barged in while Rita was sorting out her stud.

“You are 80% done on your agreement with the sales department. Why are you resigning?”

Nathan was in total shock when he heard that Rita was resigning.

She worked so hard for the VP position. What happened? He didn’t understand.

2Rita stopped and glanced at Nathan, “What are you hurrying for? Are you afraid that you won’t see me again?”

“What on earth would you resign? Is someone messing with you?”

“No.”

“Why then?”

“I’ve got what I wanted.”

“But... But you are not vice president yet.” Nathan was quite puzzled.

Rita had forged great relations with Nathan these day.

Nathan was a really good guy and was pretty nice to her.

Rita didn’t have many friends, but Nathan was definitely one of them.

Rita then told the truth to Nathan, including her identity, purpose and family.

Nathan actually was not surprised about her identity, because he had long suspected that she was related to the Browns when he learned her name.

But he thought that she was Charlotte who was spoiled in the Browns and she only took her name as a facade.

Because it was rumored that the Browns had two daughters, Rita and Charlotte.

The latter was the one who was dozed on. Not only that she was beautiful and smart, she started working in the Browns when she was just eighteen.

Well, he also heard much about Rita, but only in bad ways.

It was said that she was ugly, stupid and was retarded when fall-in-love.

So he would think that Rita was just her alias.

Nathan then recollected his thought and looked at Rita, “What do you want to do afterwards? Are you going back to the school?”

“Yes.”

“Can we meet again?”

Nathan was taken aback by his own words.

He meant to say that she ought to work hard in school but turned out to say what he was thinking inside.

Rita froze a bit and then smiled, “We’re friends. Sure we can meet later. Why are you saying that we will never meet again?”

Nathan laughed and immediately changed the subject, “What are you planning on?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I’m thinking about starting my own business.”

She had figured out a lot of things recently, including her relationship with Liam, the Browns and her future plan.

She figured that instead of working in the Browns, she can found her own company.

So she won’t fear that one day someone might fight the family fortunes with her and she can also accomplish something while she was young.

She wanted to do something of her own, so that she can narrow the gap between she and Liam.

She didn’t want any other people just to see her as good-for-nothing or Mrs. Wilson.

She wanted to be herself.

As long as she was competent, they won’t think that she was not good enough for Liam.

She then can compete with Emma.

She would only quarrel with Liam when it came to Emma in her previous lifetime.

What she didn’t know back then was that she was belittling herself by doing that.

In this lifetime, she had known that one must fight foe what she desired and crying was going to solve anything.

Though Rita’s voice was low, she sounded determined.

Nathan was too taken aback.

She was as firm and preserved as always, just like when he saw her the first time.

“Do you need a partner then? I can invest 100 million yuan.”

Rita was in total shock! What did she just hear?

100 million yuan?

Why did Nathan just say that so easily?

Rita started at Nathan frozenly and didn’t come to herself for a while.

“This... I...”

“You can think about this and tell me later.” Nathan smiled gently.

“Okay.”

She did need to think about this matter seriously.

Since Rita didn’t work long in this subsidiary, she didn’t have a lot to pack for.

One packing box was enough.

When she was about to leave with Nathan, Tomas who just heard their whole conversation suddenly walked in.

“If you are going to start you own business, count me in.”

While Rita and Nathan were in chock, Tomas just took the packing box from Rita.

“I’ll follow you everywhere.”

Then he just walked out of the office.

Rita was quite speechless.

Freezing still, Rita met Nathan’s eyes and looked helpless.

“Well, you surly have a lot of wooers.” Nathan teased. “It’s too bad that you already have a boyfriend.”

Rita instantly rolled her eyes at Nathan and said, “You two are hardly wooers.”

To Rita, they two were just grateful that she helped them once.

Nathan knew that Rita only saw them as friends and didn’t think much.

But the whole love thing was pretty strange sometimes and was uncontrollable.

He wasn’t sure of Tomas, but he was definitely deep in love.

Even though he knew that she had an awesome boyfriend.

He can’t help it.

But he didn’t intend on doing anything.

Something was better left unsaid.

He only wished that she was happy and was satisfied to be just her friend.

Nathan came to himself and twitched his mouth, “Well, it’s better to have us, right?”

Rita laughed, “I’d rather not.”

What’s more, she was really afraid that Liam would get jealous and hurt them after the last breakup.

“What do you want to do if you found your own company? Did you think this through?”

Seeing that Rita was serious, Nathan changed the subject back.

“I major in costume design, so I want to start my own costume design studio.”

“So you have planned this long ago?”

“Right.” she even had registered the company.

Then they three left the company and went to a restaurant to talk about the business stuff.

Rita met a pair of couple’s eyes when she just walked in her own restaurant.

The atmosphere instantly got a bit weird.

“What the odds, Freddy, didn’t she have a crush in you?” Dressed in a fur coat, Leyla West who was wearing heavy makeup glanced at Rita.

Rita looked at them indifferently and was a bit surprised.

She really didn’t expect to meet her high school arch-enemy. Leyla who happened to be Emma’s cousin.

The West family was a really small family in the F City and only survived because its connection with the Ellis family.

The slender man standing next to Leyla was Freddy Pearson, her high school monitor.

He was quite outstanding in high school and they had quite a great relationship, but what did she mean that she had a crush on him?
