Let's Get Married novel Chapter 285

The man stands up from the couch and walks over to her, “Then I have something need you to cooperate with."

"What?"

"Testify."

"Testify?" Marina is baffled, not understanding why he would suddenly say such a thing, "For what testimony?"

"Lily's lawsuit, I want you to deny it in court."

"What?" Marina looks at him incredulously; she is so shocked that she forgets to even disguise her expression, which she is always good at.

He wants her to testify for Lily and wants her to deny it?

Marina smiles incomparably stiffly but still asks, "Deny what?"

"The things you supposedly saw, and all the statements you took with the police." Rex talks smoothly with not even a little emotion, as if he is explaining a very common and ordinary matter.

But Marina is still shocked, if she does it then wouldn't all the efforts she has made be in vain? How is that possible! She had a hard time sending Lily to such a desperate situation and she will never let her out again!

"I do not agree." Marina refuses it without thinking, "She killed my grandmother, I'd like to see her go to jail, why should I let her go!"

"She didn't do it." Nixon stares at her and says word by word, "Who did it, you should know very well."

Marina is trying to calm down, "I saw it, and the surveillance camera caught it, besides her who else can do it!"

When she finishes her words, she even asks rhetorically, "Do you think it was me?"

No one speaks and everything around them seems to freeze, and none of them knows what the other is thinking.

Rex suddenly knows Marina; she isn't simple and even isn’t a kind person.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. When looking at Lily, he could know what she is thinking, he could see the goodness and softness buries under her eyes, but looking at Marina's eyes, he can't see anything but treachery.

The man leans in a little closer to her and asks, "Is that you?"

Marina's heart is pounding, she wants to retreat for the first time while facing him, but she can't, she can't show her weakness or cowardice.

She didn't do it, it was Lily. She is so self-hypnotized that sometimes even she believes it.

"It wasn't me."

"Whether it was you or not, you have to go to court and testify."

Marina stares with wide eyes, she is not expecting him to be so tough, "Why?!"

"Just because I trust her."

"You trust her?" Marina seems to have heard a big joke, "What about me, don't you ever consider my feelings! You want me to testify for a murderer which killed my grandmother, I can't do it!"

The hand in his pocket is suddenly clenched tightly, he knows very well that he wants to help Lily goes through this. This was the last option if Marina doesn't cooperate, then... there is no other way.

Yeah, she knows, so it is a tantalizing deal.

Marina isn't in a hurry to say yes, but she doesn't refuse either, she is ambiguous, "Rex, I love you very much, but I don't want you to use my feelings for you as a bargaining chip, you know it's hard for me to refuse you, but thinking of grandma, I..."

She is about to go on with a long, cryptic tirade, but Rex doesn't want to listen, and interrupts her impatiently, "You may consider that. You have two days, and if you agree, we’ll get married."

Get married. Marina doesn't expect to hear these two words from Rex's mouth one day.

He says he wants to get married to her and she will become his wife. It was something she has dreamed of, and now it has finally come true!

Rex already has an answer in his heart when he sees Marina's expressions. He is somewhat glad that he can at least get Lily's innocence back.

When he thinks of the woman who is locked up in the police station, he wishes to get her out immediately.

Two days at most, for her and himself.

Marina looks at him obsessively, "Rex, I love you."

The tenderness in the woman's gaze is only disgusting in Rex's eyes, if he can't marry the person he loves the most, then he will marry the person he hates the most, it's just a piece of marriage certificate, he will never touch her.

Rex pushes her away,

"I don't love you.” Everything he has done is just for Lily, that's all.
