Seeing that something is wrong, Kingsley hastily walks over them and shifts the topic smiling, “Mr. Rex,
this is Lydia. She’s also a lawyer and has a good reputation in this profession these two years.
Rex curls his lips and suppresses the turbulence in his deep-set black eyes. Then he asks a question
that can be only understood by them two, “Oh, your name is Lydia?”
Lily gets nervous because of his question. She had imagined the scene when they meet again, but she
didn’t expect it would be like this.
The world is so big, but why this encounter happens? What a coincidence!
Since things have happened, she can only continue to disguise herself, “Yeah.”
“A lawyer?”
Lily’s heart misses one beat, “Yeah.”
He shifts his gaze on her pale face and wears a seemingly business smile; however, only Lily can read
the mockery in it, “The laws in the UK are quite different from those in China. Miss Lydia, are you
accustomed to them?”
Lily gets the connotation in his words – He is mocking her disappearing for so many years.
It seems that her heart is tore apart by this question. She struggles to suppress the personal emotions
surging in her heart and replies as if Rex is a stranger she just met today, “My clients can give you a
pertinent answer.”
The atmosphere in the room becomes subtle and weird and the four in the room are immersed in
different thoughts. Kingsley and Freddie are afraid that Rex would learn about Davy’s workplace injury
case, while Lily is shocked by the encounter and doesn’t know how to react. However, no one see what
he is thinking through the gloominess in his eyes
He calmly straightens his sleeve and gently smiles, “I haven’t heard that there is a Chinese who is
running a law firm in Britain.”
Lily’s face becomes even paler and she almost fails to maintain the calmness on her face, “The law
circle is neither big nor small and I am not a leading person in this profession. Mr. Rex, it is normal that
busy big man like you would not know about me.”
“Oh yeah? It seems that Miss Lydia knows me so much.” Rex nervously stares at her mouth, which
keeps spitting out those annoying words. His heart has been trembling since he enters the reception
room. After seeing her and hearing her voice, his heart, which has been restless for five years, finally
finds its tranquility.
But others cannot notice that his fingers are trembling slightly because his perfect disguise.
She didn’t die and has grown a lot. She is more elegant and charming than she was five years ago. He
has been looking for her for five years, and he finally manages it.
But what about her?
There were only astonishment and panic in her watery eyes when he appeared. There was no surprise
or touch, nor happiness for their reunion after a long separation. She called him ‘Mr. Rex’ in a calm
voice, as if she was calling a stranger.
Rex has a complicated feeling in heart – there is anger as well as grievance.
He wishes he could immediately question her why she has never found him since she is alive.
Unable to bear his burning gaze anymore, Lily looks down and suppresses the tremor in her voice, “I
don’t know much about Mr. Rex, but I know Bit Inc. well. I believe that they know me well two. Mr. Rex,
if you are curious about it, you can ask them.”
Hearing her words, Freddie curses in his heart and hastily mediates the talk, “It’s the first time for you
two to meet, and maybe in the future, you will have more opportunities to cooperate. It’s late now, let’s
go to the banquet. What do you think?”
Lily’s eyes lit out. She catches the key points from Freddie’s attitude and looks over, “Mr. Freddie, but
you haven’t given me a reply on the matters I discussed with you just now.”
Freddie’s smile becomes unnatural and he says perfunctory, “Wait, wait, we can discuss it later.”
“I am afraid that later Mr. Freddie will have to greet many guests and have no time to talk with me. Let’s
solve it now.” Lily speaks in a firm manner word by word, “Bit Inc. is mainly engaged in the research
and development of environmental protection technology and has put great efforts in charity work.
Although Davy, a grassroots manager in your company, didn’t come to the very heart of your company,
he still had put a lot of efforts. But now, because of the workplace injury, his left eye is almost blind. And
the conditions and requests he proposed are all reasonable and legitimate. Shouldn’t your company
give him a response?”
She speaks in a powerful voice that is neither loud nor soft. If it isn’t that she is wearing a dress, others
may think that she is fighting against a lawsuit in the court.
Her actions and words remind Rex of what she looked like five years ago. Undoubtedly, she is now
more sophisticated and calmer, but she still has the sense of justice, which has been engraved in her
bones and heart.
Hearing the paragraph, Freddie subconsciously steals a glance at Rex. When seeing that Rex is
staring at Rex, he murmurs to himself and raises his hand to push the glasses up his nose, saying
embarrassedly, “Miss Lydia, are you coming all the way for that matter?”
He wants Lily to give him an out, however…
“Yeah. I’m here today to learn what you are thinking, Mr. Freddie.” She shows no intention to
compromise. After all, she has said it bluntly and obviously, Freddie is afraid that Rex would know that,
so why doesn’t she capture this opportunity?
However, what she didn’t expect that Rex interrupts before Freddie can reply.
“So, Miss Lydia, you didn’t receive the invitation letter for this party and sneaked in by your own
means?” The man easily sees through her tricks.
Lily didn’t expect that he would suddenly expose her. She wrinkles her beautiful eyebrows. Shouldn’t
they focus on Davy’s case now?
Her thoughts are quickly interrupted by Rex, “Even if you don’t think about yourself, shouldn’t you
consider your friend who brought you to this party?”
His words seem to nail Lily on the ground – she can’t move and can’t even say out a word.
He is threatening her, blatantly and thinly disguisedly.
She secretly grits her teeth and clenches her fists and then pretends to be calm and emphasizes,
“When I get the response from Mr. Freddie, I will leave immediately…”
“Miss Lily, what do you think of this place?” Rex’s voice gets gloomier, “Is it a place where you can
come and go at will like a supermarket?”
He is always good at this – choking somebody with only one sentence. In terms of semantic tricks, she
is no match for even one ten of him. She had learned it five years ago.
“Now that you have questions, I, the biggest investor of Bit Inc., can give you replies in person after the
party.” Lily glances at the staffs behind as he is speaking. There are sophisticated emotions in his black
eyes, making it as deep as a bottomless well. The words he said just now are just bedding.
The two subordinates get Rex’s intention and walk over Lily and then say with each standing by one
side, “Miss, please come with us.”
Lily looks at the two men vigilantly, “What do you mean?”
“You sneaked into the party, so I won’t let go of you easily. If you are unwilling to cooperate with us, you
can call the police.” Rex speaks casually and looks at her mockingly.
His relax comes from his judgment and confidence that Lily won’t dare to call the police. That’s why he
could ask her leisurely. As a legal worker, Lily could not afford the distains of violating laws and
regulations on her record.
She has no way but jump into his trap.
Just now, she was questioning Kingsley and Freddie confidently, but soon, Rex turned things around.
Lily smiles bitterly. Although she is flustered in heart, she pretends to be calm and nods, “All right, then
I will wait for you, Mr. Rex.”
