Sweet Divorce

Rose had been dragged out.

Rita’s eyes rested on Amelia’s side.

But she was looking at Ted instead of Amelia. “Ted, are you free?”

“Miss Rita… what do you want me to do?” Ted jolted, not understanding what she meant.

Rita smiled, “Could you do me a favor?”

“Well…”

Ted worried it would be a trap because she asked him politely, and he did not dare to take it.

But as a servant, he could not turn her down in front of others, so he asked permission from Amelia who was sitting on the couch. “Mrs. Miller, may I…”

“Rita is also the Browns. Do whatever she wants you to do. No need to ask my advice.”

At Amelia’s words, Ted knew he should agree. “Miss Rita, how can I help you?”

“Well, nothing difficult. Just help me to slap Rose for fifty times.” Rita turned her face, and her dark eyes fell on Rose who was kneeling in the garden.

“But…”

“What? Is it difficult for you, Ted?” Rita frowned when she saw Ted hesitate.

Ted shook his head. “No, Miss Rita, I will try my best to do as you want. It’s not difficult, not at all.”

Not a bit.

He was glad to do her this favor.

As Master Mason’s wife, Rose had always been a bully who would vent her anger on the servants whenever she was upset.

And Ted was the one who fell victim for the most of the time.

The other day, Rose had thrown a cup of tea at him because the tea he served was hot, and there were still blisters on his hand and his body now.

He had had to endure her insolence before because he was nothing but a butler, but now –

Why would he turn down Rita’s request now that he could get even with Rose for that?

He would help Rita to slap her, and he would do this with all his strength.

Rita knew what he was thinking.

She had stood upstairs when Rose threw the hot beverage at him.

Though Ted did not say anything, he had been clenching his fists behind his back.

She thought he must be disgruntled.

The more disgruntled he got by Rose, the more ruthless would he be when he hit Rose.

So she picked Ted to do this, and she did not need to worry that Amelia would let Rose off easily.

Rita stopped thinking and smiled at Ted. “Thanks, Ted.”

“You’re welcome.” I’m very grateful that you give me this opportunity.

Ted said the second sentence in his head.

At Rita’s command, he walked out and came to Rose.

“Son of bitch! You hurt me. Hurry – let go of me.”

He approached and heard Rose curse loudly.

Frowning, Ted shot a glance at the two servants who were pinning Rose down and pretended to be upset. “What’s your problem? How could you be so rude to Mrs. Brown?”

“Ted, it’s very nice of you.”

“But it is the old lady who gives the order, so we have to make a show to please Rita and Liam. Am I right, Mrs. Brown?”

Ted managed to convince her, and she agreed after she thought for a while. “Then, be gentle.”

“Relax, I will be gentle…” like hell he would.
