Let's Get Married novel Chapter 5

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.
