Let's Get Married

Chapter 283: Claim Innocence

Lily's initiative is undoubtedly the best encouragement for Rex, who is already difficult to control himself, and now even more so as if he is inspired by something.

Lily is concerned about this is a police station; she pushes him away and whispers, "There is surveillance..."

"I know." Rex doesn't even care; he continues to keep close to her, not giving her the chance to reject him. He misses her so much, those few days made him feels like it has been passing a few years, how could he let her go when he finally gets the chance?

Lily has been shaken because of the passion of Rex, and she has been forced into a corner where her hands are pinned to the wall. Rex is locking his fingers together with hers and there is tenderness inside.

Rex wants her so much, but he can't do anything because the location is not appropriate. So, he could only control himself and let her go. His face is so red, and he whispers to her ears, "You need to make it up to me when you come out."

Lily doesn't think about it and her face is blushed when she hears his words. She stares at him and says coquettishly, "Don't think too much..."

Is it good that something which is so erotic is being said so seriously by him?

Lily pouts and says, "You're just finding excuses."

Rex feels she is cute and funny when he looks at her angry appearance. His big palm caresses her head gently, "It is good you know that."

He doesn't mind being a little more direct since he hasn't an image in front of her.

Lily is speechless, and she doesn't know what to say. She just feels the interrogation room has become less scary when she nestles in his arms. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Good times are always short, and despite Rex wants to spend more time with her, he still must go.

It's almost evening when Rex gets out of the police station. The driver has been waiting beside the car for a long time. The driver opens the car when Rex comes over.

Rex walks to the car but doesn't go up, he stops to watch the sunset, which is not far away, the red- light dyes half of the sky with bright colors. It is the rare scenery that is good to look at, but unfortunately Lily can't see it.

The smile that Rex just had in the interrogation room is disappeared. He is left with cold eyes, thinking of her reluctance yet not daring to say more when he left. He just hates himself for being unable to save her out...

He didn't protect his woman, and he has put her through so much trouble that she shouldn't have. Rex is heartbroken when he thinks of her.

All his words about the case are just comforting himself, and if he really could, he hopes none of this has happened, and that she never went through all this.

The driver looks at his look, although he is a subordinate, there are always a few feelings in his heart. He cannot bear to see his boss standing here alone. He reminds him softly, "Mr. Rex, you can get into the car first."

After the driver's reminder, Rex withdraws his gaze and goes into the car. The scenery outside the window passes by, but he doesn't care, he just only wants his woman back.

"Mr. Rex, are you going back to the office?"

Rex tilts his head and leans against the back of the chair behind him gently, he answers with weary voice, "Yeah."

Forty minutes later, the car gets into the underground parking garage. Rex gets out of the car and goes to the elevator.

Orson has been waiting for a long time; he sits up when he sees Rex.

Rex takes off his jacket and throws it on the sofa, "Have you read those documents which I asked you to read?"

"Yes." Orson looks at him with desire, and asks tentatively, "Are you going to take over Lily's case?"

"Yes." The man doesn't even look up; he just picks up the documents on the table and looks like it's not even a thing to consider.

"Rex, you and I have been bros for so many years, I have something to say, don't blame me for talking too much.” Orson sighs helplessly, "The chances of solving Lily's case is very small; we can only fight for the reduction of penalty. If we are trying to get an acquittal...it's almost impossible."

"She's not the one who did this."

"How do you know it wasn't her?"

"I have eyes, I can see."

Orson sees that he can't persuade him, he knits and says, "Look at the surveillance and the evidence presented by the police over there..."

"I saw it, but it wasn't her." Only then did Rex look up and refutes, "It's not her."

Orson has never seen his stubborn side, this man has been objective and calm all along the time, except for this time - he doesn't believe the information in his hands.

But now... Rex looks like a different person, and if he doesn't know what kind of girl Lily is, he may think that Rex is haunted by a ghost.

"Calm down, these things must be solved objectively."

Rex snorts when hears his words, "Lily is in the jail because of me and Karl, she trusts me and waits for me to take her home. How do you expect me to fight only for a reduction of penalty?"

"So, what are you going to do? Plea to the charges? What do you think the odds are and have you thought about what would happen if you lose the case?" Orson can't help but raise his volume to remind him of the facts.

The document in the man's grip is clenched abruptly.

Orson can't bear to see his look and raises his hand to pat his shoulder. Even though it's cruel, but Orson still wants to speak out, "Rex, I know! You don't want this to happen, but if your plea to the charges, you might get a worse result, and there's not much chance of an appeal then."

Rex's grip on the document suddenly loosened as he hears this, and he tugs the corner of his lips, staring mockingly at the document on the desk, "Orson, I've studied law for so many years and litigated for so many years, I've seen countless kinds of people and things, good and bad, and I've always believed in the justice of the law, but in this case, I suddenly can't see the point, I know Lily didn't do it, but I can't prove it because there's no evidence. These 'coincidences' are so seamless that she must confess, and there's nothing I can do about it except being helpless, is that it? Is that the law that I believe in?"

Rex begins to self-doubt whether what he has proudly thought isn't what it looked like before. Had he wronged many people because of these "pieces of evidence”?

Orson's hand that falls on his shoulder tightens a little harder, "Rex..."

Rex knows what he wants to say, he asks Orson helplessly, “What do you think I should do."

Admitting the guilt is the best option in front of him.

But acquits of a charge is what Lily wishes, but it is full of the unknown, a carelessness will make them in trouble.

What if the solution only left is to ask Lily to admit the guilt, how can he explain to her?
