Lily finally has a reaction. She can't bear the attack for two days, but the man in front of her doesn't care.
"You won't let me go, will you?" She asks him in a trembling voice.
Rex says silently, "You provoke me first."
In the club, she stopped him and gave him such a big "surprise". The unpleasant memories made him lose the interest in women. He is just 32; he cannot go on like this.
Lily only wants to give herself a big slap. If she knew Rex's real identity, she would not dare to provoke him even if she was dismantled and reorganized.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Rex's eyes falls on the woman squatting on the ground. Pondering for a few seconds, He goes to her and puts his arms under her armpit. He picks up Lily and puts her on the bed. She is still not dressed well, and he does not forget to cover her up. "Tidy up, I'll go to the meeting."
When Lily sees that he is going to leave, she suddenly gets angry at the bottom of her heart. She reaches for and drags his sleeve. She looks at Rex’s eyes. She hears her bold voice, "If I follow you, will you help me get revenge on the Tim’s family?"
Rex picks up his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, she suddenly changes her mind. He says "Yes."
"Well, I have another request." For the first time, Lily is so brave to open up all of her. "I am twenty-four years old. I just finished my birthday. I graduated from the Law School of the University of Toronto a year ago. I was not a jerk. I was an excellent student with a full scholarship. I know the law and have qualifications. Can you help me return to the legal profession?"
Rex is shocked a little. He thought she would ask for money or other things. But he don't expect it. What's more, she graduated from the Law School of the University of Toronto.
As a senior lawyer, Rex faces up to the woman in front of him for the first time, "Do you want to work in law?"
Lily nods firmly, "Yes."
"Why did you give up?"
Lily's eyes darkens, "Because I got married."
Susan's request was to get married immediately after their graduation. They didn't want their daughter-in-law to show up outside, which was a matter of face for them.
At that time, Lily deeply loved Tim. She promised everything. But for the law, over these years, she still has enthusiasm in her heart.
Now she accidentally provokes Rex. Since he won't let her go, what's the difference between being bitten twice and once by a dog? She must go through this thing. She's divorced but she still has her parents to support.
Rex does not speak. He takes out a cigarette from his pocket and lights it. His sharp eyes looks at her through the white smoke, which makes Lily uncomfortable.
He has his own frightening aura, which makes people feel extremely depressed.
For a while, the smoke burns half. Rex walks back to the bedside, looks down on her like a king, opens his mouth and spits out a smoke ring, choking Lily's eyes.
"At eight o'clock tonight, come to the villa in the Baker Street and bring what you need."
Lily raises her hand to disperse the smoke. The man has turned away.
She curls up and hugs herself. Everything goes on out of control. She doesn't know whether she is right or wrong. She only knows that she can’t fall down now.
……
After leaving the law firm, Lily receives Abby’s call. On the phone, she doesn't say much in detail, just telling her that the case is accepted by Rex.
