Since that day when they separated in hospital, Rex seems to suddenly disappear. He has not
appeared for a few days. Lily even thinks that everything happened before is an illusion.
Early this morning, she drives to the company, and she still has some difficult work to deal with. After
that, she plans to take a rest and accompany Adair. Otherwise, even if she works, she still doesn’t feel
calm.
Lily is handing over some work to Fiona and other colleagues in charge in the office. When she is
concentrating on the work, outside the door suddenly comes a rush of messy footsteps, with the sound
of the receptionist…
“Sorry, Lily is having a meeting. You have no appointment. You can’t enter right now. I’ll let you know
when the meeting is over. Please wait in the reception room for a moment...”
“I must see her now, now, now!” The rough voice of a man full of anger is still powerful through the
door.
“I’m sorry, sir. You really can’t go in. We have regulations...”
“Your rules are bullshit. They don’t work at all. I don’t believe them now!”
Then, Lily sees the office door being pushed open by a huge force. The door plank bounces to the wall,
and the wall skin falls down, leaving a deep mark.
Everyone looks over there. Davy, with a red face, angrily walks to the office, bypasses the people who
have been shocked. In an unprecedented rude way, he crosses the desk and grabs Lily’s collar.
Without saying a word, he drags Lily till to the gate of the company. He approaches and glares at Lily,
“Bitch! You said you wanted to help me with my lawsuit, but now there is no news. I heard that the case
was handled by another person, but you didn’t tell me. Why? Is my lawyer fee not as high as other
people’s? So you have to make such a bad decision secretly!”
Foreign men are generally strong. Looking at his twitched eyebrows, his widened eyes, his dilated
nostrils, Lily cannot deny that she is very disappointed with this man at this moment.
It’s like when you do something that you think no one dares to do, and that will be appreciated
sincerely, but the client scolds you in turn.
She has suffered so much and devoted so much, not only for Davy’s lawyer’s fees, but also because
Davy’s case is complicated and has few chance to win. In addition, the process is also extremely
difficult. Among all the law firms on the street, she is the only one who can offer such a low price.
“Maybe you forget my requirements. I ask you to pay the extra lawyer fees after winning the lawsuit. In
the early stage, I only charge you basic fees.” Lily’s voice is still calm. In this case, she can’t mess
things up, “That is to say, the so-called fees you paid me are very few.”
“But after winning the case, you will have a considerable lawyer’s fee!” Davy’s face turns red. No one
knows it’s for anger or guilt.
Lily laughs, although her neck is very painful due to being strangled, “You can go to ask a good law
firm, ask who is willing to take your case, not to mention 30%, the rate of winning the case is even less
than 10%.”
Davy has nothing to say, because every word of Lily is telling the truth.
At the beginning, he really had no way to go, so he found them, and the fees they charged were very
reasonable. They almost helped him to sue for free. He had always been very grateful to Lily, and he
was very cooperative. However, he immediately collapses when someone says that the person in
charge of the case is changed today.
“Is that your reason? Just because I don’t have enough money? Do you know how much I expect of
you? Can you live up to my expectation?” Davy says more and more excitedly, “You are a liar, you lied
to me!”
“What are the benefits to deceiving you?” Lily only feels that people are really not rational when they
are angry. They can’t hear any truth, but can only see what they have lost and their own interests.
The people in the office call the security guard to the door. Two men in black uniforms with electric
batons in their hands come towards the door.
Davy’s face suddenly turns terrible. He thinks he will be subdued onto the ground, but Lily interrupts,
“Calm down, I’m fine.”
Davy is a little surprised. In this situation, she even...
Lily puts her gaze back on Davy’s face again. “I know how you feel now and why you are so angry. But
I hope you can understand that I have paid more energy, time and effort to this case than anyone else.
Whether the case wins or loses, I will try my best. If you continue to make trouble, I don’t mind what
you just said becomes a reality.”
Her words directly put Davy in a daze. There are many people around. Everyone thinks Lily will get
angry, but she doesn’t. She is very rational and objective all the time.
“Lily…” Davy loosens his hands and suddenly feels ashamed of what he has just done.
The sound of the siren goes from far to near. Two police cars stop side by side in front of the
company’s gate. Two policemen come down and ask about the cause of the incident, then take Davy
away directly.
Lily doesn’t know who calls the police, and has no intention to ask these questions again. She watches
the police taking Davy away.
Fiona looks at her nervously. “Are you OK?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go back.”
All the people gathering at the door go back, but they don’t know that in a black car on the opposite
street corner, a man takes his mobile phone and respectfully reports, “Yes, Mr. Rex, I have already
called the police according to your order. The police took Davy away. Miss Lily is well. She has gone
back now.”
At the other end of the phone, Rex looks at a pot of lush green plants in his hand. His five slender
fingers take the sprinkler on one side and spray some water on it unintentionally. “You continue to
watch over there, and give me the address after coming back to the residence with her after work.
Remember not to be found at all.”
“Yes, sir”
When Lily returns to her office, that area of her neck has already been red. It is eased by gel given by
Sarah.
She makes a clear plan to hand over the following work, and finally she holds a plenary, which ends
nearly at five o’clock.
She is also in a hurry to go back to cook for Adair. She quickly packs up the things and goes to the
door to pick up the car.
On the way back, there are calls from time to time, mostly about work, a small part is about Adair.
Since the last accident, she has been driving cautiously, and all the calls are connected to car
Bluetooth.
She drives to Ryan’s apartment on tenterhooks. It is completely in the opposite direction to the place
where she lived before, more than 20 kilometers away.
She drives to the underground garage. When she sees the rearview mirror, she suddenly finds a black
car. Her heart trembles and she couldn’t help looking at it more, but the car drives away quickly, as if it
happens to pass by.
Lily stops the car steadily in the parking space and shakes her head with a long sigh. She may have
been really too nervous recently.
