Let's Get Married novel Chapter 288

Finally, Rex reluctantly takes the documents. He has no other choices.

Can’t he plea to charges and assert Lily’s innocence?

Of course he can. But this is a gamble. If he loses the lawsuit, Lily will have to stay in the prison for the rest of her life. He doesn’t dare to take the risk. If he can replace Lily to be the accused, he would of course dare to take the risk.

Since Red has made a choice, everything is then progressed quickly. It takes only one day for Rex to have a thorough grasp of the documents.During the past few days, he has been concentrated on Lily’s case and hasn’t dealt with the big or small matters of the company. He hasn’t been like this since he graduated from university.

Rex, as a lawyer, is quite familiar with the processes. Therefore, everything is progressed steadily. Rex takes charge of every process in person, no matter it important or trivial, fearing that slight negligence would lead to an unexpected result.

Rex hasn’t told this to Lily. However, there are many people engaged in this case, so the news spreads like wildfire and Ryan also hears about it.

Sitting in a high-end office building, Ryan is looking down at the bustling street which is filled with cars and crowds. When he hears the news, he smiles lightly, “I was wondering what good method Rex would figure out to solve this. This disappoints me.”

“That’s true Mr. Ryan, but with his identity and social status, although the court will sentence Lily in the end, she won’t stay in jail for too long. Rex will definitely find a way to bail her out.” Ryan’s assistant says word by word.

Ryan buttons up the crystal buttons on his sleeve and slightly turns around, “Why she has to admit something she hadn’t done.”

After saying these, he realizes that this is funny and then adds, “I thought I won’t go to the police station again, but it seems that I have to visit it this time.”

The assistant is stunned, “Mr. Ryan, do you mean…”

“Yep.” Ryan snorts to show his affirmation. The smile on his face gradually fades away, and he looks more serious, “Contact the head of the police station, I want to visit her tonight.”

The assistant hastily replies, “Yes, Mr. Ryan.”

Ryan looks into the distance with a thoughtful look, “I’ve stayed in China for a long time. It time to leave.”

…

At 9 o’clock at night, Ryan shows up in interrogation room where Lily is in.

The police office unlocks the door. Hearing the sound, the little woman inside the room seems to be startled. She stands up from the chair vigilantly and looks towards the door with her tired, big eyes.

When she sees Ryan, her eyebrows furrow.

The overreaction as he has expected.

Ryan doesn’t mind her aggressive emotion at all. He walks towards her straightly and closes the door, leaving the police officer outside. However, this time, he doesn’t talk to her with a flippant tone, or take liberties with her. He acts out of his normal behavior and is quite well-behaved. He walks over and sits down on the chair opposite to Lily.

“We meet again, Miss Lily.” This familiar lead-in as well as this acquaintance, like nightmare, have been torturing Lily.

Lily mocks disdainfully, “Looks like Mr. Ryan is very forgetful, you forgot the words you said two days ago so soon.”

What Lily refers is the sentence Ryan said before his leaving last time – “next time I won’t come to help you”.

Hearing her words, Ryan looks down to hide the unknown disappointment under his eyes. When he raises his head again, he regains his usual joking and cold expression, “Looks like you really don’t want me to show up… But this time, I am afraid that I can’t just stand by.”

Lily slightly frowns and is not willing to talk more with him. “Mr. Ran, can’t you sense my refusal?”

“I know you have been waiting for Rex to help you to settle this case, as well as the general progress of the case. You want to claim innocence, right?” He deliberately pauses before saying out the word ‘right’.

Lily breaks out in cold sweats on the back, “How do you know it?”

These matters are relatively private, but Ryan acts like he has grasped everything…

“Of course I have my way to get news.” Ryan leans to the left and changes to a casual sitting posture. Leaving out the background, you might think that he is now actually sitting in a high-end club. “Do you know what Rex is doing when you are pitifully waiting for him helping you win the lawsuit?

Lily’s heart misses one beat. She subconsciously refutes, “What else can he be doing except helping me?”

“Help you?” Ryan grins and the smile immediately fades away. He takes out his phone from the pocket, puts it on the table, and pushes it to her, “Have a look. This is the way he is ‘helping’ you.”

Looking down at the bright screen, Lily can’t help to read the words on it although she knows that she shouldn’t do it.

It is a concise electronic document, which detailedly states the matters concerning this case, with the signature of Rex, Lily’s attorney agent, at the end. This document is credible. Lily, as a law major, knows that this can’t be a fabricated one at one glance.

She doesn’t study it carefully; instead, she takes a skim and just pays attention to some key words. However, as she scrolls down and skims the following contents, her expression turns gloomier and gloomier.

Seeing that Lily has come to the last page and almost finished reading it, he leans in and puts his hand on the desk to support himself, “How does it feel?”

Lily doesn’t reply. The hair in front of her forehead conceals her facial expression. After reading the whole document, what impressed her most is that sentence –

Considering her pleading guilty, we plea for a more lenient sentence.

Surrendering?

Lily shivers. Although the door is closed, she still feels air on her back, as if the wind is blowing in from behind and is penetrating into her heart.

“Impossible…This is impossible!” Lily pushes away the phone, her eyes enlarging and her pupils contracting from disbelief. She looks quite intense.

Ryan shoots a glance at the phone on the table and puts it into his pocket, “If you don’t believe it, you can call Rex and ask him.”

His words stun Lily, who then stands still. Why? Why could he say out that sentence easily, as if he is not worry whether she will accept his suggestion or not?

“Rex won’t do this. He has promised me to help me prove my innocence. I won’t plead guilty!” Lily suddenly stands up from the chair, turns around and shouts at the door, as if she can’t bear such an atmosphere anymore, “Mr. Police Officer, please take him out!”

Ryan squints and walks towards her across the table, and then reaches out his hands to pump her back to the chair, “Lily, this is the reality, and you must face reality.”

This is the first time that Ryan calls her name, and is also the first time that he talks to her with such a serious and solemn tone.

Lily sits down on the chair and promptly bursts into tears. Hearing the noise inside, the police officer hastily unlocks the door and gets in to have a check. When he sees what’s happening inside, he pauses in awkwardness.

“Miss Lily, you…”

Before he can finish his words, he is scared by Ryan’s sharp glance. This poor police office immediately shuts up and stands still at the door, not knowing whether to come in or not.

“That’s all I want to tell you. As for the rest, you can ask Rex by yourself. I’m not coming to suck you today. I just want to tell you, if you want to leave…” Ryan leans in and whispers in a voice that can only be heard by them two, “I can take you away at any cost.”
