Sweet Divorce

Chapter77 The Rupture

“Say something!”

Liam’s glare flicked through the Nash family one by one and stopped at Yolanda.

His eyes were as hard as flint, which frightened Yolanda. She held her breath for a while.

“It’s merely a hearsay!”

Liam squinted at her, “Well?”

“There must be someone who attempts to disseminate the false information deliberately because Joey was already dead. And it’s difficult for us to prove ourselves.”

Her voice grew louder and she looked so upset that she was close to tears.

While speaking, she signaled Nora who was standing nearby to help her solve this crisis.

Nora approached, pretending to be impartial, “Liam, there must be some misunderstanding. I’m sure my parents and sister are not the imposters.”

Although Nora seemed to support Yolanda, she also implicated that she had nothing to do with this.

Therefore, she would not suffer the consequences even if their secrets were revealed.

However, Yolanda and Daryal were only touched by her support. And they thought highly of her because she still tried to preserve the reputation of the Nash family in this critical moment.

“You’re right. They are not the imposters indeed. They literally regard themselves as my saviors.” Liam was even more infuriated.

His eyes were blazing with fury.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand. Liam, you can’t insult us like this just because someone has told you something untruthful.”

Yolanda tried to hide her fear and would not admit what she had done.

The firmer she was, the angrier Liam got. His eyes grew so cold that the tension was mounting perceptibly.

“You need the evidence?”

Liam looked down at Yolanda who was still reluctant to admit and smirked, “OK, I’ll show you.”

Saying this, the expression on his face changed to anger.

Yolanda felt it was freezing inside the room as if she had reached the Antarctic suddenly. And her back was covered with frost.

“Jacob, bring the stuff to Nash’s house within fifteen minutes.”

Liam called Jacob and said in a cold voice.

“Fifteen minutes? Liam, I can’t teleport!”

Liam ignored his complaint and said indifferently, “Bring the evidence within fifteen minutes no matter how you get here. Otherwise, you may start to prepare your funeral now.

His words sent a chill down Jacob’s spine.

Jacob stopped complaining right away and continued his task seeing that Liam was infuriated.

After all, he treasured his life.

He did not want to die young.

But Yolanda’s face grew grey immediately, when she heard what Liam had said.

Did Liam know the truth? The very thought brought her out in a cold sweat.

That was impossible!

She bought off all the staff who had come into contact with Liam, so she didn’t believe he could find any evidence.

The minutes were ticking away. Thirteen minutes slipped by and there were only two minutes left.

Being silent, the atmosphere was extremely tense in the living room.

Liam sat with his legs crossed. Although relaxed, he seemed still noble and forbidding.

He looked at his watch and paused for a while, but he continued to tap on the arm of the couch with two fingers.

“Liam, I’ve brought you the evidence.” Then Jacob came in, panting, and gave Liam an SD card.

The card was wet and warm because it was grabbed in Jacob’s hands all the time.

After he took the card, Liam began to soften, “Are all the staff here?”

“Yeah.” Jacob nodded.

Liam squinted at Yolanda and asked her again, “Are you sure it was Joey who cared for me?”

“I…” Yolanda didn’t dare to answer when she saw Liam was so forbidding.

Her heart was thumping when she stared at the SD card in his hand.

Had he really found the evidence?

No, that was impossible.

She had deleted all the footage of Rita entering Liam’s room.

In essence, she thought her plan was perfect so she didn’t believe Liam could find any evidence.

Thinking of that, she was firm with him again, “I’m sure it was Joey.”

Liam was out of patience seeing that Yolanda just could not acknowledge anyway.

He held the card in hand firmly and flicked a glance at Jacob.

Jacob understood immediately and looked out the door, “Come on in.”

The room was crowded with people right away.

They were all the hospital staff who treated Liam when he was unconscious.

Liam lifted his eyes and glanced through the staff who were all strained, trying to be more friendly, “Relax. I ask you to come here just because I want to figure out it was Joey or Rita who had been caring for me.”

“Doctor, you may start first.”

Liam pointed his finger at the physician in charge.

The Nash family all looked at the doctor nervously.

The doctor was unnerved by their staring and swallowed hard, “It was Joey.”

“Well, the nurse, go on.” Liam was incensed and glared at the nurse near to the doctor.

“It was Joey.”

“Right. It was Joey. Miss Nash had been nursing you for half a month, and she passed out because of hypoglycemia as a result of malnutrition.”

Others echoed in several. Liam was enraged and looked like he wanted to eat them alive, “Jacob, that’s the evidence you gather for me? You may call the cemetery to reserve your grave now.”

Standing next to him, Jacob was frightened and swallowed hard. He moved close to Liam and whispered, “Liam, this…”

Yolanda was so strained that she had her heart in her mouth, but then she breathed a sigh with relief secretly after seeing that.

Well, Liam was unable to find the evidence, she thought.

She was emboldened by these people who supported her.

Then she glared at the man sitting on the couch, complaining, “Liam, you don’t believe me, but you should believe in the hospital staff. We haven’t lied to you. It was Joey who had been nursing you.”

“Liam, I don’t know why you don’t trust us, but how can you distrust Joey!”

Although being quiet before, Nora came forward, with tears in her eyes, “Don’t you even remember how deeply Joey loves you?”

When she mentioned Joey, Liam did not soften as usual, he was more incensed instead, “I still remember. But I want to know whether she loves me in a noble way.”

“Liam, what are you saying?” Nora gave a shudder. She was unnerved by his coldness.

“You’ll know what I’m saying later.” Liam sniffed and looked at Jacob again.

Jacob went outside and brought back a girl who was wearing a bun and a pair of black glasses, weighing nighty kilograms.

Yolanda’s face turned pale when she saw this chubby girl.

Her body was rigid with fear, with her hands trembling.

Liam noticed all her body language.

He raised his eyebrows and said unhurriedly, “Yolanda, do you know her?”

“No, no. I don’t know her.” Yolanda shook her head and turned her head aside to avoid eye contact with Doctor White.

But Doctor White came to stand in front of her and sneered, “Mrs. Nash, you are the important person who tends to forget things. Don’t you remember? I’m the one who got fired just because I didn’t agree to receive ten thousand yuan that you gave me and help you to replace Rita’s medical records with Joey’s.”

The girl was resentful when she talked about the past.

“Nonsense! I don’t even know you!” Yolanda’s face was pale. She shouted, “Don’t throw mud at me! You are framing me!”

“Watch that video, and you will see whether I am framing you.”

She sniffed and pointed at the SD card in Liam’s hand.

Looking at the card, Liam put it into the computer and played the video.

A woman appeared in the footage. It was Rita.

“Liam, I’m here again.” Staring at Liam, Rita was closed to tears, and she said in a hoarse voice.

“Liam, you know, everyone asks me to give up on you. But I assure you that I won’t. I’ll wait until you become conscious no matter how long it takes.”

“… because you are my life.”

The video kept playing. Most of the time, it was only Rita who accompanied Liam, whispering.

Then it stopped playing after Rita passed out and the nurse came in.

Watching the video that should have disappeared, Yolanda was gripped by a feeling of panic, and she kept shaking her head, “That must be the composite video made by Rita. It’s not true, absolutely not!”

Because she had destroyed all the surveillance video, it was impossible that there would be any video clip.

It couldn’t be true!

Liam was staring at Rita in the video in anguish.

He was tortured by her whispering as if someone was stabbing him with nails on his heart. He kept replaying the memories that he had been treating her in a cold and retaliatory way in his mind.

Then he was overwhelmed by the feelings of guilt. He grabbed the card with the trembling hand.

He forced himself to stop watching the video and glared at Yolanda, “Jacob has already authenticated this video.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Shaking her head, Yolanda still could not believe it. It was impossible that the video was not composite.

The man sitting on the couch stood up suddenly.

He took several steps toward Yolanda. Her heart did a flip, and she kept moving back out of panic, “Liam, let me explain.”

“Explain? Do you think I’ll believe?”

“It…”

“You are really good at hiding the truth and deceiving me!” Liam looked at Yolanda’s pale face and suddenly sneered, which was frightening.

And then his expression on the face suddenly changed into anger. “Tricking me, defaming my wife again and again. You will suffer the consequences of what you have done.”

They were insane and they would pay for this.

Standing up, he glanced through all the Nash family and went out angrily, “Jacob, I don’t want to hear anyone talking about the Nash Group or the disgusting Nash family in F City by tomorrow.”
