Let's Get Married novel Chapter 344

"Your presence is not mandatory, It’s up to you." Says Rex with malice. Mind games are his specialty.

Lily desperately wants to shout but she keeps it together and remains professional, "Five years ago, you took the victim side claiming it was the right thing to do, what about now? Shouldn’t you be doing the same and treat me as such?"

What hurts Lily the most is that the victim takes a back seat. Davy's case must be solved. What Rex did is nothing else but forcing her to choose between facing him and giving up the case.

Lily doesn’t want to give up, she confronts him.

"Are these games fun? Are all my efforts and hard work so insignificant to you?" Lily goes rampage, "What President Rex thinks is none of my business, but the case itself yes!"

Being unaware of the apology statement he ordered Kevin to make, she completely misunderstands Rex’s actions.

Rex is caught off-guard, he was expecting some anger but not that much, all he wanted is to make her go see him, and then he can explain it all.

"Such determination suits you quite well." Says suddenly Rex full of confidence.

Lily feels like the ground vanished under her feet after that sentence, and panics.

She squeezes her phone and looks at the clock. It is three o'clock in the afternoon, not too late, so she decides to take the matter in her own hand going straight to the point, it's better to strike while the iron is hot.

Lily is no longer afraid, she takes the courage and says “Are you available now President Rex? I’d like to speak about the details of the case."

"Always for you." Keeps up Rex with the mind games.

Lily’s worst dream, "Alright then, when are you available?"

The table is turning and now she is asking for favors. She acknowledges that no matter how angry she is, she must be humble in order to win in the long run.

"Well," Rex takes his time to answer her, and then, after a long while, "Come to my house. It’s the best way."

House?!

Lily grits her teeth. If anyone would have told her before, she would never have believed it, but now, she cannot deny the truth. All of this was to get to this point exactly!

"London is a big city and I am sure we can find many places suitable for our meeting, like a café. There should be one not far from your home. If President Rex does not have time, I can drive over to pick you up later..."

"Reluctant much?" He interrupts Lily and says flatly, "Then don't come."

"..."

The silence fills the air.

Lily is resentful. Before thinking on how to deal with him, she hears his impatient voice, "Alright, I gotta go."

"Wait!" She grits her teeth, and after two second, she agrees, "Okay, I’m coming, now!"

...

Forty minutes later, Lily parks her car in front of the gate of Rex’s house.

The sight of the magnificent villa stretches before her eyes. She found a café on the way just a mile back, just in case. Probably he is not feeling well and wants to stay in his house, and hopefully, he does not have bad intentions.

Lily gets off the car and rings the buzzer, no one answers that but the gate begins to move.

She drives in smoothly, gets off the car again with the related documents and in front of the house door, she takes several breaths before raising her hand to knock.

The heavy solid wooden door opens slowly revealing a man figure.

"As I said, as long as you answer me, I don't even need to look at the papers and I would agree to all reasonable requests from you and Davy." He hates when she calls him President Rex, like a stranger.

Lily looks away and lets out a deep breath, pondering carefully.

In the end, all is asking is few answers. On the other hand, if she refuses she could compromise everything.

But facing the man's compelling gaze makes Lily lose all her courage. She had nowhere to hide from him five years ago, and it is the same five years later.

She had grown and matured, but it is undeniable that this man also, he is now stronger than five years ago.

After a long silence, he brings her a cup of warm water and says with his thin lips opened slightly, "So, what is your decision?"

Lily finds extremely ironic when his gentle voice makes such implicit threats.

Lily wants so hard to win this lawsuit, and this seems to be the only way to get it, "Alright, shoot."

"OK, one condition. No lies admitted."

Lily is sure that he can detect any lies coming from her, therefore she can only agree to that, "Condition accepted."

"You know?" He regains a normal position, and stares into her eyes for an instant, "I can tell when you lie."

‘Tump-Tump-Tump’

The sound of her heart is deafening her own ears. Lily breathes and says calmly, "I won't lie."

Rex's satisfaction is visible and with all the muscles in his body tense, he begins to articulate his first question, word by word,"When did you and Ryan meet?"
