Sweet Divorce

Chapter 211 How Do You Want to Play it

Though he was unwilling to, Jacob still put a pant on Ralph.

Not only this, he also tied him up with a rope.

So Ralph really looked like a rice dumpling at this point.

After Ralph put on the clothes, Liam loosened his grip covering Rita’s eyes.

Lowering his head, Liam landed his eyes on Rita’s clean face and said gently, “How do you want to play this?”

Connor froze and didn’t expect that Liam went this further just to please Rita.

Jacob seemed undisturbed as he had witnessed this kind of scenarios countless times before.

Rita glanced at the wrapped Ralph and picked up a beer bottle.

All people present were taken aback by Rita’s move.

But Liam still sat on the sofa elegantly and acted peaceful, “Go on then.”

Connor was really in shock as he was terribly afraid that Ralph may die here.

Though he would like this to happen, he dared not to go this far.

Rita, Liam and other people here were all influential and rich in F City, but he really was a nobody.

He had neither money nor powerful background, so he would probably be a scapegoat for these people once the whole story was out.

While Connor was still wondering, Rita was walking towards Ralph with the beer bottle.

He then hurriedly blocked Rita and said, “Rita, he’s going to die here if you beat him more. We would all get into the trouble with the law.”

“Did I ever mention that I’m going to beat him?”

Connor was choked up by Rita’s words.

Well, she didn’t exactly say this, but she was obviously going to do it.

He then bowed his head and stared at the beer bottle complicatedly.

Noticing Connor’s look, Rita suddenly swung the beer bottle onto the wall.

The beer bottle was then smashed into pieces and Rita was just holding a sharp bottleneck.

Rita then smiled, “Don’t be afraid. This is just a prop.”

Connor paused, “Prop?” What did she mean?

“Well, just wait and see.” Rita beamed and took an ice beer on the table.

She then tilted her hand and poured the whole bottle of beer with ice cubes on Ralph’s head.

Ralph who had passed out was suddenly waken up with a start.

After Ralph came to himself, he immediately yelled, “What the fuck! Who did this to me! I’m going to kill you!”

Well, what a loud and jarring sound.

‘Alas, I shouldn’t have gone easy on him.’

Rita then stooped and pressed the bottleneck against Ralph’s neck arteries. “You are so damn loud.”

Feeling the sting on his neck, Ralph hurriedly looked down.

Ralph immediately stopped moving and even started sweating when he saw the beer bottle against his neck.

“Miss... Miss Brown, I’m sure we can talk this over, right? Let’s not get physical here.”

Rita then let out a sneer.

Well, she thought that a scoundrel like Ralph would be a tough guy, but he turned out to be a wuss.

“You asked Connor to steer the mass poisoning in the Browns’ Garment Factory, right?”

Ralph’s face immediately changed when he heard Rita bringing up this incident.

He glanced at Rita’s young face and was astonished.

How possibly could Rita know this?

Well, even she busted Connor, but there was no way that she could suspect him.

Could it be that Connor turned his back on him and he was the one who called Rita over?

Seeing that Ralph didn’t say anything, Rita gradually lost her patience and suddenly hardened her grip which sent the sharp edge on the bottleneck a bit deeper into Ralph’s neck. “Answer me!”

“No!”

Rita was actually not surprised that Ralph was in denial.

After all, there were causalities in the poisoning accident and he would well go to prison if he just admitted the whole thing.

Rita then figured that the reason why Ralph was being so stubborn could only be that she got no evidence here and couldn’t do anything to him.

Ralph must be thinking the same thing and felt emboldened.

He glanced at himself and sneered, “Miss Brown, I suggest you loosening me instantly, otherwise, I will sue you for illegal dentition and aggravated assault. These two are pretty serious charges.”

‘Well, am I threatened? But his words are definitely true.’

“But money talks.”

“What?”

Ralph didn’t know what she was talking about and was confused.

Rita just ignored his surprise and landed her starry eyes on the man who was sitting on the sofa, “Darling, you must have ways to free me if I went to prison, right?”

Hearing Rita’s sweet voice, all people present were stunned.

Ralph followed Rita’s sight and noticed Liam’s existence.

Liam?

What was he doing here!

He still remembered that Liam almost beat the driver to death and smashed the Burkes because he sent someone to hit Rita.

His scalp can’t help numbing every time he thought about this.

To him, Liam was definitely a formidable existence.

If Liam were to help Rita, nobody would give a damn about the whole thing even she killed him.

He stared at the indifferent Liam uneasily and prayed that Rita wouldn’t do something extreme to him.

Liam looked up and said slowly, “Of course.”

Ralph’s face instantly turned white.

Hearing Liam’s answer, Rita beamed proudly, “You can sue me all you want. I don’t care.”

Ralph twitched his mouth and dared not to lie since there was a sharp glass pressing against his neck.

He just lost his spirits and said dejectedly, “It’s me. I told Connor to scheme the Browns.”

‘What a wuss. I just bluffed and you admitted everything.’

Rita then asked seriously, “I’m curious that what did you do to manipulate Connor who is a manager in a sub-company of the Brown Group?”

In order to save his life, Ralph had no choice but to utter the truth that he intimidated Connor by force and then beguiled him with money.

Rita smiled satisfactorily after she heard Ralph’s words.

She then threw the blood-covered bottleneck in her hand into the garbage bin and waved the voice recorder in her hand, “Thank you for cooperating with me to get the evidence I want.”

Ralph really felt like crying. Did he have a choice?

Rita then turned to Connor, “Are you going to turn in yourself or do I need to call the police?”

Connor then suddenly realized that Rita went to all these troubles just to get the evidence that he was the one who plotted the Browns.

She wasn’t targeting Ralph this whole time. She was after him.

Connor froze for a second and quickly recollected himself.

Was she trying to make him a scapegoat?

Well, she wished!

He didn’t survive in this ferocious business world all these years with nothing. He clearly knew that Rita’s behavior before can well be considered as obtaining evidence by means of torture.

Connor raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “I really don’t understand what are you talking about, Miss Brown.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Seeing that Connor still won’t admit the truth, Rita jeered, “Well, you are just so sure that the court would rule that I tortured Ralph into confessing, right? Even if this recording doesn’t count, did you forget that I also got a witness?”

Rita then landed her eyes on restroom that Annie went into.

At this moment, just so it happened that Annie who had changed her clothes and regained her cool walked out.

Seeing Annie, Connor who was confident before suddenly became flustered.
