Rita, "..."
As she looked at the man in front of her, she couldn't help but find him amusing.
When she didn't respond, Nelson spoke up, "Any loss you suffer from the divorce. I will double it as compensation."
What did he mean?
It's not enough for her to get divorced, and he wanted her to leave empty-handed?
Rita smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wallis, you are a businessman. You never take a loss. So, what do you want from me?"
Nelson was shocked.
So in Rita's heart, he was a selfish person who only cared about profit?
She thought that I was only giving her benefits so I could take something from her in return?
Somehow, he's not surprised.
Despite their marriage was for his grandfather's sake, the two of them respected each other, and had a harmonious relationship. He was responsible for her and could be considered a model of a good husband. She also trusted him completely, but in the end,

Rita may not have known much about business, but she could feel the tension between Abbott and Nelson.
She was the one who had dragged Abbott down with her.
"I'm sorry," Rita said, "I'll make it up to you."
"It's not necessary," Abbott replied with a faint smile, as if the losses didn't bother him.
After breakfast, Rita's phone kept ringing with incoming text messages.
She checked her phone.
Her expression darkened instantly.
Sensing her distress, Abbott asked, "What's wrong?"
"I received some messages from the bank," Rita replied.
Abbott had just taken a sip of water and nearly choked on her words.
He knew Rita's financial situation for years and was familiar with her routine of receiving payments in the afternoon. This was the first time he had seen her receive a payment in the morning.
"Let me see," Abbott said, sensing that something was off. He picked up her phone and examined it.

Rita lived in the luxurious Biltmore Estate perched high on the mountains.
This was where she had grown up with her grandmother and mother.
As she gazed out of her window, she couldn't help but be captivated by the breathtaking scenery and the fresh air.
Suddenly, there was a knock at her door, and when she opened it, it was Abbott.
"I'm heading downtown for a drink. Would you care to join me?" he asked with a hopeful smile.
Rita shook her head. "No."
Abbott was a party animal. Rita couldn't blend in with his people. They were just too crazy.
In fact, Abbott couldn't enjoy himself with Rita around, but he still came to ask. After getting Rita's answer, he left her alone with peace of mind.
Now, she was the only one left on the second floor.
......
The night was quiet and peaceful until she was abruptly woken up by her phone's vibration.
She groggily answered, "Who is it?"
"It's me," Nelson's deep voice spoke on the other end of the line, sending shivers down Rita's spine. "Open the door."
Confused and a little bit annoyed, Rita asked, "Where is the door?"
"Your door," Nelson responded.
Rita's temples were twitching. "What the hell are you doing at my door, at this hour??"
Listening to the faint anger in her tone, Nelson seemed not to notice that. He only said, "Either you come out or I come in."
Rita couldn't stand it anymore, "Are you fucking lunatic?"
Nelson Wallis was a complete psycho. There was nothing he couldn't do.
She really believed that if she didn't open the door, he might find someone to break the door.
knowing that he wouldn't take no for an answer, Rita ended the call.
So, she reluctantly put on her coat and made her way downstairs to meet him.
As she opened the door, she was met with the sight of Nelson leaning against his car, smoking. The dim street lamp cast an ethereal glow around him, and Rita couldn't help but feel drawn to him.
For some reason, Rita's chest felt tight as she stood in front of Nelson.
She tried to push down this strange emotion and stepped forward. "Why are you here?"
Nelson flicked his cigarette and handed her his phone.
Rita did not take it. "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Take a look." Nelson only had three words.
Rita hesitated but eventually took the phone from him. "You're mad. You come at this hour just to show me your phone?"
The next second, her face changed.
It was none other than Abbott on the screen.
It was a photo of Abbott sitting in a nightclub with some other men, surrounded by half-naked women.
Nelson's voice dripped with sarcasm. "So this is who you've been with for the past three years?"
Rita gritted her teeth and cursed Abbott in her heart, but her face was still calm.
She tried to keep calm. "He's not the best, but he's better than you."
Compared to what he had done three years ago, Abbott had merely been a playboy. What's wrong with that?
Nelson's face darkened.
"Don't you dare to compare yourself to Abbott," Rita spat out with a sneer. "He may not be perfect, but at least he doesn't drug women and take their blood without their permission. You're the real monster here, Mr. Wallis."
Sometimes, she really wanted to dig out this man's heart and see if it was a stone!
Nelson's expression shifted several times. He gazed at Rita intently, but ultimately remained silent. Rather than discussing Abbott any further, he took out a document and presented it to her.
Rita looked at the document and did not take it. "What's your game now, Nelson? Another evidence about Abbott? Listen, this is not going to work! I know who he is. If you think this is some sort of trump card, take it and save yourself the trouble."
Nelson ignored her restlessness and stuffed the document directly into her hand. "This is you and Abbott's divorce papers. Sign it."

"Back then..." Nelson spoke. He wanted to bring up some past matters.
But Rita did
