Let's Get Married

Chapter 270: Melly Died

“Melly… died.”

The few words ring in their ears. It is obviously light and weightless, yet everyone is breathless. Even Sally, who has nothing to do with this matter, feels the same.

Rex swallows hard and closes his deep black eyes. Lily hopes he could say something. However, after a while, he asks the question she does not want to hear the most, “Tell me, why did Marina scheme you to kill her last relative?”

If Melly was still alive, there would be room for solution. But now, everything has become a deadlock.

Lily takes two steps backward unsteadily, one hand holding on the desk to keep her legs. She wants to ask for Rex’s trust, but she doesn’t. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Yes, how should she convince him?

It is she who lied, and everything was captured by the camera. This is beyond dispute. She deserved it, for being controlled without even realizing it.

Will Marina kill her relative for Lily?

No one will do this. It is too vicious. A man with humanity will not do such things. However, only she knows that Marina is more terrible than a demon. Marina killed Melly by Lily’s hand. But how could Rex believe all of this?

Lily smiles bitterly, “It’s funny, right?”

She looks up at Rex and meets his gaze. Her eyes are firm yet fragile, “But it is true. I didn’t kill anyone. Before I came here today, I didn’t even know Melly. Marina is just so malicious that she made me kill her relative...”

“Enough.” Rex interrupts Lily out of the blue. It’s not that he does not want to hear, but he could not stand it. Her voice, Marina’s voice, mixed with Melly’s death… are too dull and painful.

Lily seems to be shocked by his low roar. She just stares at the man in front of her. There is another deathly silence. Suddenly, she seems to understand something and looks down at her hands with uneasiness, “Okay, I won’t say, I won’t say anything…”

“I’ll see Melly.” Rex wants to gently bend down to lift her face and tells her not to cry, and don’t be so desperate. However, he seems to be frozen and unable to bend. He could only raise his hand to caress her cheeks and wipes off her tears.

After just two seconds of touches, his dry palm moves away. The door behind her opens and closes again. He leaves.

All Lily’s energy seems to be drained in the moment. She slides along the table to the ground, dissolving into bitter tears.

Karl pats Sally on the shoulders, “Console her, I’ll go over and take a look.”

“Okay.”

Sally walks to Lily and hugs her while feeling distress, “Lily, stop crying. I believe you, we all believe you.”

She is such a beautiful girl. How could she kill someone?

Even if the evidence is put in front of Sally, she will not believe it.

Sally keeps comforting her, “Rex will believe you for sure. But he needs some time to adapt to the accident. Don’t worry. We’ll definitely know the truth.”

Lily shakes her head, “Sally, I’m so scared, not just that Rex disbelieves me….”

Sally freezes for a moment, “Then what are you afraid of?”

Lily closes her eyes. She could not answer.

Even though she is afraid of Rex’s mistrust, the real fear from the bottom of her heart is that she could not prove her innocent in the end.
