Sweet Divorce

Chapter 86 The Advertisement

In a taxi, Rita was concentrated on her world, looking outside.

Until the phone rang, she came to her senses.

“Rita, we just checked out the publisher’s IP address!” Isabelle was thrilled to tell her the news before Rita replied.

Hearing this, Rita held her phone more firmly and became unsettled, “Tell me the details.”

“The IP address belongs to a cybercafé.”

“Ok. Now send me the address and the name of the café. I will be there as soon as possible to find out the publisher’s identity through the CCTV.”

Obtaining the valuable clue, Rita couldn’t even wait for a second to solve the problem.

She was dying to know who wrote that post for what kind of purpose.

Only by figuring out the answers, she was able to find the solution.

Otherwise, she could do nothing.

“I must tell you that we’ve discovered the publisher who is…” Isabelle paused for a second, and continued slowly, “Nora.”

“What?”

“Tom traced the IP to the computer which was used by her in the cybercafé. Besides, we have also found the page of the old school’s website in that computer.”

Listening to the evidence that Isabelle provided, Rita became grim and stern.

It’s Nora that created and nourished the public opinions.

Rita thought that she was quite closely-related to the Nash family.

After Marsh family’s bankruptcy, Rita decided to forgive the family.

However, to her surprise, the family members stitched her up stealthily.

She always believed that she would never hurt others if they didn’t offend her. But as a girl afraid of nothing and no one, she also perfectly illustrated the idiom, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

At that moment, she clenched the phone more firmly with cold and stony face.

She decided to prepare a counterattack against Nora who hit her first.

In the previous incarnation, she happened to discover Nora’s secret which seemed helpful to her now.

“Rita, if Nora plans to harm you, it will be difficult to conceal the affair between you and Oliver since you and she are like an enemy to each other.”

“You are right. To be exact, we are deadly enemies,” Rita added. Then Isabelle was more nervous and anxious,

“What…what shall we do?”

“If your reputation is not saved in time, your career as a designer will be impeded and your diamonds will fail to sell as someone may give you a frame-up when the diamonds you designed come onto the market.”

Isabelle just told Rita what she was worried about as well.

Although the affair was known by the students on the campus, she was likely to suffer more from the surroundings if there were exaggerations. However, Rita stopped worrying at once and smiled happily, saying slowly, “Take it easy. I’ve come up with a plan.”

“Really? In such a short time?”

“Yes.” Rita looked at the outside through the window, with bright eyes. Now, it’s the show time, she thought. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After asking Isabelle to do something important, Rita hang up the phone.

She started drafting the whole plan by arranging the steps logically.

Then she looked at the driver in the front seat, “Sir, please turn left at that intersection because I want to go back.”

“No problem.”

The driver turned to her curiously, “What happened to you, little girl? Have you forgotten anything?”

“No. I am to negotiate with someone.”

The driver didn’t treat her words seriously and sent her back to the Wilson’s.

Her returning surprised both the two persons in the restaurant.

And there was a subtle difference. Jacob was so stunned that he unconsciously opened his mouth.

The other one on the sofa with legs crossed, Liam looked quite calm but his emotion was somewhat influenced.

“Are you still busy? If not, I have something to talk with you guys. It’s about the advertisement of my diamond.” Rita looked at them, showing her purpose directly.

Did she return just for work?

Liam managed to hide his disappointment and when he looked up at her, he was as usual, “Tell me your ideas and demands.”

“I want to design the advertisement by myself and decide who take the advertising shoot.”

“So do you have the list of candidates?”

“Yes.”

“Really? Who are selected by you?” Liam was interested and gave her a searching look.

He was a businessman whose behaviors and decisions were profit-oriented.

Obviously, Rita would gain some benefit from the advertisement so she wanted to participate in it. Therefore, he wanted to know what’s in her mind.

“I and Oliver.” She told him with hesitation.

Liam was silent with anger.

For an instant, the temperature of the whole hall seemed decreasing remarkably and the room seemed frozen completely

At that moment, stealing a covert glance at his brother who was visibly grave, Jacob closed his eyes hopelessly

Jesus Christ!

What the hell with the woman?

Why did she always make Liam agitated?

Because of Oliver, Liam was furious just now. And this time, how dare the foolish girl mention the name in front of him again?

And she even wanted to do the commercials of a diamond with Oliver. She was courting disaster like an idiot, Jacob thought.

‘Please don’t trouble me!’

‘I can kneel down to you for this.’

Jacob shouted silently in his mind.

“Both of you are celebrities with no fans. Besides, you have no experience in acting. To be honest, do you think that you two are competent to advertise your first works?”

The man on the sofa broke the ice by questioning.

Rita bit her lips and explained in a hurry, “You don’t have to worry about the online traffic or the foot traffic because the affair about me and him will draw more attentions if it is reported by the media.”

“After all, I am your wife but fall in love with my classmate. I think this news must be full of the shock value.”

Although she and Oliver were not popular, her husband was well-known.

Therefore, Rita considered that the topic would definitely rank first on the top-trending searches.

At this moment, Liam felt used and betrayed.

Instantly, the room they stayed was like experiencing a blizzard. Nobody talked.

At the glance at Liam’s stony face, he was unsettled,

Damn it! Liam was truly outraged!

Rita was always good at annoying Liam.

Now she even wanted the whole nation to know that she betrayed her husband.

Good. Very good. She was not quite ordinary, unlike other girls.

Jacob believed that he’d better not kneel down; instead, he should wait silently for his destiny.

He gave up doing anything to retrieve the situation in despair.

Looking at her husband who was so angry and could even destroy the world, Rita explained at once, “I must tell you that I don’t intend to cuckold you. Actually, I plan to make use of the news for both gaining attentions in an efficient way and proving my innocence.”

Liam frowned and pondered.

He contemplated what she said for a minute and then said extremely unwillingly, “It’s a bold plan. But it’s practical and reasonable. I agree.”

Jacob, in a state of losing his heart, was speechless after hearing what his brother said.

‘Liam, are you serious?’ He questioned in his mind.

“Really?” Rita looked at him happily.

“But I have a request.”

“Ok, what do you want me to do?”

“Return to our house and live with me.”

Hearing this, Rita was reluctant because she had made great effort to move out. This request was demanding to her.

“Remember, what you should do after the advertisement is posted is that you defend yourself by living together with me. If people find that we are apart, it’s too late to maintain the reputation.”

Aware of her disinclination, he accounted for the request in a low tone.

Liam was such a shrewd businessman that what he said was always simple yet clear.

According to her plan, she must shake off the rumors about her, so…

She looked at Liam, bit her lips and promised, “OK. I will move back to the Wilson’s as you want.”

“Jacob, help her with the baggage.”

Liam finally smiled after he kept the poker face for a long while and looked at Jacob mildly.

Jacob could not believe that Liam smiled. He rubbed his eyes for several times to make sure what he saw just now was not an illusion.

So was he safe again? Jacob thought.

“What are you doing? Go and fetch the car now.”

Until Liam’s voice sounded beside his ears, Jacob regained his composure and nodded instantly.

The conversation was over and Rita left the Wilson family first.

Looking at her back, Jacob wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Oh God, he just escaped from the devil.

It seemed that Rita must be the only one who was still safe after infuriating Liam.

It’s the first time for Jacob to experience being inferior to someone in front of Liam.

After calming down, he looked at Liam confusedly, “Liam, I believe that you agree on her plan that she communicates with Oliver as well as telling the media her cheating you.”

What’s more, Liam was too peaceful.

Unlike himself at all.

Jacob wondered if Rita’s return was more important than the public opinion?

“I won’t stop her standing in the spotlight.” Liam frowned, “Oh, you should exaggerate the fact and inform everyone of it when people are talking about the affair.”

“What? Liam, are you serious?” Those who were cuckolded would definitely hide it back while Liam seemed to reveal it to everyone.

Was Liam insane? Jacob was worried.

But Liam sipped his coffee and said prudently, “Don’t worry. I will benefit remarkably from her plan when she draws more attentions.”

“Why?” Jacob asked curiously.

“What she tries to do is to gain more fans and get rid of the stigma, so ultimately, she will tell everyone that she is my wife.”

Hearing the analysis, Jacob now understood completely.

It’s no wonder that Liam promised Rita.

The widely-discussed affair was an advertisement for free to him, which was an announcement that Rita belonged to him.

Liam was extremely smart.

Jacob gave him a thumbs-up, “Your cleverness is an example to me.”

“So have you finished your flattering?”

Liam looked at him strictly, “Now, fetch Rita’s luggage.”

He’s afraid that Rita broke her promise.
