Sweet Divorce

Chapter 212 The Former is Love and The Latter is Hate

When Connor plotted the Brown Group to purchase the inferior agent, he was afraid that other people may turn his back on him, so he trusted his brother-in-law, Andrei Lowe to achieve this.

Though Andrei was not biologically related to Annie, he practically would listen to Annie’s every order.

Andrei would never betray him as long as Annie told him not to.

Thinking about this, Connor was even more anxious. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He then reached out his arms and hugged Annie, “My baby, you must be scared, right? Let’s go home.”

But Annie didn’t even move a muscle.

Connor turned around in bewilderment then and landed his eyes on Annie’s delicate face, “Honey?”

Honey?

So he just remembered that she was his wife, right?

How come that he pretended that he didn’t hear her crying before when Ralph that bastard humiliated her?

Huh, how hilarious!

She actually was willing to sacrifice herself to Ralph for Connor before she was abandoned ruthlessly!

“Well, you abandoned me.”

Noticing Annie’s strings of tears, Connor hurriedly pulled her into his arms and explained, “I didn’t. I was just...”

But Connor struggled to come up with a good excuse.

Annie let out a wry smile, “You were just hesitating, right?”

There weren’t any emotions in Annie’s voice, so Connor foolishly thought that she was just trying to justify him as usual.

Annie obviously still loved him.

He then blinked and nodded heavily, “Yes. I was just hesitating.”

“I was almost ruined because your hesitation!” Annie pushed Connor away frantically and stepped back.

Connor’s face darkened because of Annie’s outburst.

Feeling that he can’t soothe Annie anymore, Connor slapped himself right on the face, “I’m sorry, Annie. I was a douchebag. I really ought to kill myself.”

Connor would always use this trick to pacify Annie whenever they fought before and Annie would always fall for this.

But today, Annie remained undisturbed.

She wiped away tears on her face and said, “I always feel that I’m quite happy all these years because I have a husband who love me and cherish me, but today, I realized that you only love yourself the most.”

“Annie, I...”

“You know, I really wanted to sacrifice myself to Ralph for you before.” Annie sobbed and didn’t recover for a while. “But it’s not the same thing as he just pushed her to Ralph for his future.”

The former was love and the latter was hate.

When she saw Connor just abandoned her herself before, Annie was really in despair and from that moment, all her love for Connor had transformed into hatred and resentment.

It had been ten years since she started dating Connor since college.

But cruel reality just triumphed over ten years of love.

She really learned this lesson the hard way.

Annie took a deep breath and made an important decision in her mind.

She retracted her look from Connor and turned to Rita, “Hey, how should I call you?”

“Rita.”

“Miss Brown, I would be happy to be your witness and expose Connor’s crime of purchasing shoddy coloring agent to the public.”

Rita froze because of Annie’s straightforwardness. She then looked at her gratefully, “Thank you.”

“No worries. You saved me. I owe you this.”

Connor directly passed out because of Annie’s words.

He knew perfectly well that all his crimes would be out with Annie and Andrei’s testimony.

He crawled to Rita in panic and cried, “Miss Brown, I got nothing to do with this accident. Ralph forced me to do this. Please spare me. I’m begging you!”

“You should think about how to save yourself instead of begging me.”

“Saving myself?” Connor was confused.

Rita replied, “If you just turn in yourself, you may be dealt with leniently, but if I call the police, you won’t even get this choice.”

Connor was actually rejecting this suggestion inside.

But deep down, he knew that there was no way to escape the justice at this point, so he actually recognized Rita’s idea after thinking this for a while.

He may get time off for pleading guilty.

Ralph was also arrested after Connor turned in himself.

The Brown Group that was shut down because of the poisoning scandal was finally free of injustice and the media changed to target Ralph and Connor.

When Amelia saw the police’s statement about the poisoning scandal, her mood just suddenly lightened up, “God bless that we’ve dodged a bullet.”

“How come that Connor just suddenly thought this through and turned himself in?” Staring at the newspaper, Noah was quite bewildered.

Rose who was peeling an apple for Amelia also looked up, “I heard that Ralph humiliated Connor’s wife, Annie, so he would turn against him and turn himself in.”

“Right, I’ve heard that too.” Noah chimed in and even pulled up a video showing Annie was forced into the hotel by Ralph and showed it to Amelia.

Amelia looked at the video and sneered, “We are lucky that Ralph lustful, otherwise, our family is really done for this time.”

“Exactly.”

Rose and Noah both nodded and didn’t know that it was Rita who made this to happen.

While the Browns were taking sighs of relief and thinking about where to celebrate for lunch, a maid hurriedly walked in, “Mrs. Brown, we have a guest visiting.”

“Who is it?”

“Annie.”

The Browns paused when they heard Annie’s name.

Amelia walked to the French window with Rose’s help and landed her eyes on the cheongsam-dressed woman and said, “What is she doing here?”

“Well, it’s said that they both loved each other greatly. Is she begging for Connor here?”

“Possibly.” Amelia turned to the maid, “Tell her that she should stop wasting her time. We Browns would never show mercy to a traitor.”

“Yes.”

The maid nodded and walked out, but she soon returned.

Amelia knitted her eyebrows, “What did she say?”

“She said she was not here to beg for Connor.”

Amelia frowned more, “Then what?”

“She said that she wanted to express her gratitude.”

Gratitude?

The Browns paused because of the maid’s answer and didn’t know what Annie wanted to do exactly.

But Amelia still remained calm and continued, “Did she say who she wanted to thank and why?”

The maid replied, “Miss Brown.”

Noah and Rose were both in shock.

“She said that Miss Brown saved her that day and she wanted to express her gratitude to Rita in person.”

Rita saved Annie?

Though Amelia didn’t know what was going on, she said peacefully, “Let her in. Mason and Noah, you’d better leave for now. Also, ask Rita to come downstairs.”

She really wanted to know what exactly happened.

How come that Rita was involved in this?
