Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Rex also doesn't expect to meet Lily here.

The front desk staff informs Lily, “Mrs Montgomery, this is Mr. Smith.”

Mr. Smith, wearing a pair of eyeglasses and in his thirties, looks a little fat. “Hello, Mrs Montgomery.

Let's go in for an interview.”

Lily would like to say no, but it is too late now.

She nods almost stiffly.

Rex suddenly says, “Your office will be used by the seminar group.”

Maybe Mr. Smith doesn't see anything strange, but Lily understand what it means. Rex is doing this on

purpose.

A group of three people walk towards the office and pass the office area all the way. Lily sees everyone

addressing him as Mr. Rex. He is not only works here, but also the boss of the law firm. He is a

successful man in business and politics who nobody dare offend.

Sitting in the chair, Lily feels her butt is going to burn. Her whole body is stiff.

“Mrs, I hear that you want to fight a divorce lawsuit. Is it convenient to tell me about you and your

husband? Mr. Smith wants to get down to it.

Lily takes a peek at Rex and sees he is doing some work. She whispers, “I have been married for a

year. Yesterday, I caught him in bed with my best friend. My mother-in-law also knows about it. I was

the only one in the dark. Now I want to divorce. They won't accept it.”

“Do you have children?”

“No.” Lily bites her lips in embarrassment, pauses and says, “We never had a sexual relationship.”

Mr. Smith pushes the glasses on his face and hides the surprise look behind them.

“Now, divorce will be fairly straightforward, but I need to know what you want for it.”

“I want my husband to lose his reputation and get what is mine,” Lily says.

Mr. Smith nods and asks a key question. “Do you have any evidence of your husband's infidelity”

Lily asks, “Evidence?”

“Such as pictures, video, social media, or anything that can prove that your husband did cheat.”

“I don't.”

“First of all, we need some hard evidence. Otherwise, it's heresy. We need reliable proof.”

Mr. Smith's words put Lily into shock. She realizes that there is no point in continuing and gets up to

leave. When she is about to leave the office, Rex, who has not spoken at all, suddenly says, “Stay

here, Mrs, I want to talk with you.”

It's well known that Rex doesn't deal with divorce cases. Mr. Smith is stunned for a moment, and

stands up to leave, pretending he needs to take care of something.

In the office, there are only two people left. Lily stands in the same place, stiff and embarrassed. Rex

sits opposite her in a leather chair. His tailored suit makes him look even more powerful.

“You want a divorce.” Rex magnetic voice comes through.

Lily's ears quietly change red. “Your husband is going to get back at you and fight for some property,”

he continues.

Lily is discouraged. “You are right.”

“He didn’t touch you.”

“No,” Lily answers meekly.

After she answers, Rex suddenly stands up. Lily doesn’t react. The man is standing in front of her, and

his hands are on the chair’s armrests. “Do you know that our law firm does very few divorce cases.”

Lily looks at him, not knowing why.

Rex begins to speak, “Such a lawsuit is not accepted by any lawyer worth his salt. The everyday lawyer

couldn’t solve it. Especially your case with no money upfront. It's too risky. Do you have money?” He is

confident with every word he speaks.

Lily frowns slightly. She doesn't have money. She has this bank card, but it will expire in a short period

of time. She's so stupid. She ended it with Tim so quickly. She didn’t have any evidence and now she

doesn't even have money.

Can I borrow it from Abby?

Lily could never ask that of a friend, and she knows that it would only be a drop in the bucket. This will

be a long battle.”

Her mind is very confused. Lily feels like a stranded fish. There is no choice but to accept her fate. The

more she thinks about it, the more anxious she is and the more aggrieved she becomes. Her eyes turn

red, and tears begin to gather.

Rex suddenly releases his hands from the chair. He slightly raises his eyebrows as he see the tears in

Lily’s eyes. His daisy is crying, and her unexpected reaction is bothers him quite a bit.

He understands why she showed up in the club so boldly; her husband really had cheated on her.

Rex suddenly loses patience. He pinches her chin with his fingers and his thumb falls on her lips. He

remembers that he didn't kiss her that night, and the regret begins to fill his eyes.

“I will help you win this case. Do you want to win?”

The meaning of these words hit very deep. Lily's lips are itchy. She slants her head but can't hide her

emotions. She composes herself and says, “What do you want then?”

She is not too stupid to talk about conditions.

Rex moves closer, smells the perfume on her neck, and says, “I want you.”

Even though he said these three words, his expression doesn’t change.

Lily is horrified. What does the word ‘want ‘mean?

Rex doesn't answer the question.

Lily thinks to herself. He has money, and power. He lacks for nothings. He has even more power and

prestige than Tim. What could Lily give him?

Lily's eyes are cold, and she says, “I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. That night was already a

mistake. It will be a bigger mistake to go further at this time.”

However, it's obvious that Rex don't intend to let her go. He says, “In my experience, even if you

borrow money, Mr. Smith won't take your case. It is too much trouble. Lawyers don’t work for charity.

“Are you threatening me?”

“Just stating the facts.”

Lily looks at Rex. What game was fate playing? Rex could have any woman he wanted. Lily says, “Why

bother with a married woman?”

“Who knows,“ Rex admits gracefully, ”All I know is, I really feel something for you.”

Lily chokes, “I’m not that good at sex.”

He laughs and turns on the charm. He jokingly says, “You are a natural. As for the other things, I can

teach you slowly.”

Lily’s face has already turned red. When it comes to dirty jokes, it is pretty hard for women to go toe to

toe with a man.

She can't help being embarrassed, “What do you want to do?”

The man comes closer, there is almost no gap between them. He is surrounded by a light pine

fragrance. He leans over and whispers a single word in her ear.

After hearing this, Lily's face is even redder. She couldn't help bursting out. She raises her hand and

says, “You are so gross!”

Rex quickly stops her little hand, pins her hand behind her, grabs her, turns around, opens a door on

her side, pushes her forward, into a large room.

She retreats to the corner and puts her hands on his chest. Rex says, “Calm down.”

The man unties the necktie, puts it on the table beside him, takes off his suit coat and puts it on the

hanger. The crystal cufflinks of the white shirt are removed. He does everything quickly and precisely

and his masculinity comes through.

Lily has no time to appreciate this. Her scalp is numb. She tightens her tight clothes and feels a little

flustered. “You, you are a lawyer. This is still in your company. If you do something bad, I will sue you!”

Rex doesn’t notice her threats. “You can shout. The sound insulation here is good. It depends on

whether you have a loud enough voice to get through that thick door.”

While he was speaking, he comes to her, and his hands gently grasp her jaw, raising his face to look

into his eyes.. Today, she put on light makeup, delicate and beautiful, but Rex doesn’t’ like the lipstick

she wore today.

Rex doesn't kiss her. He reaches for her shirt and pulls it open button falling. Lily reaches out her hand

in panic to cover it. He easily lifts it off.

Lily wriggles uneasily. “Rex, I haven't got a divorce yet. This won’t help either of us!”

“As long as you do what I want, I will help you to get divorced.”

Rex lingers on Lily’s delicate skin, and his eyes lock onto her body. “I can meet all your demands, I can

ensure that your husband crashes and burns.”

Lily is stunned. Thinking of Tim, seeing the current situation, she is heartbroken. She had not thought

about such a situation. She actually wants to fight with Tim.

The Lily’s sad expression makes Rex's eyes sink. She seems to still be in love with her ex-husband.

He starts to force himself onto her without foreplay. Lily is not ready to accept him. She lets out a low

cry of pain and looks at him in shock. Her lips suppress a small whimper like a wounded animal.

“What is wrong?”

She is being punished for being honest and faithful.

Would this be her life?

The more she thinks about it, the more desperate she feels. Lily thought about of all the struggle she

had to go through in life to get here. She thought she had made it, but now it is all gone. To make

things worse, the only one who help her is this asshole who only wants to sleep with her.

Years of longing for someone he feels passionate about makes him almost bewildered. It is almost

impossible to control himself, until his passion is burned by a drop of scalding liquid. Feeling that

makes him let Lily go.

He see Lily crying, tear filling her eyes. She closes her eyes and Rex sees that her thick and slightly

curled eyelashes are wet with tears. Tears are rolling down the corner of her eyes.

“Why are you crying?”

Rex draws back his hand, takes out a tissue and cleans himself up. Lily loses her strength, slides down

the wall and squats on the ground, holding her hands on her knees. She continues crying.

“Get up.”

Rex’s voice is cool without a trace of lustful desire. He confidence is gone now.

Lily doesn't seem to hear and keeps on crying.

Rex has always been impatient with woman's tears, but now he only feels upset. Why he feels so upset

or what they means is unclear to him.

He calls her name. “Lily, get up.”
