Marina is on the verge of suffocation with fear. She lunges forward to hold his ankle. “Rex, don’t listen
to her nonsense. I did want to handle Lily, but I didn’t do it…”
His face is gloomy and scary, like a stormy night. Rex opens his lips calmly. “What about the
recording?”
“The recording…” Crawling on the smooth ground and looking around helplessly, Marina stammers for
a long time but fails to give him a complete explanation.
It happens at all once. Jade’s appearance is a shock. She has no time to fabricate a story at all. Now
her conspiracy is unraveled, and she can’t even lie.
She doesn’t know what to say, because obviously, it’s true.
“You murdered Melly.” Rex loses the last feelings for her. His regret, sorrow, and rage all come from his
guilt and debt towards Lily.
“No, I…” Marina knows she can’t admit it and tries hard to explain.
The man raises his lips, like a demon from the hell. “I know everything will be unraveled if I want to
investigate.”
“No, no, Rex, let me explain. I don’t want to do that. I’m forced…” Marina cries like running water. But
the man isn’t touched anymore.
He completely loses the feelings for her. She is worse than a stranger.
His beloved lady is murdered by her. His nostalgia and tolerance have become a shelter for the
murderer. His heart is almost broken when he thinks of it.
The man pulls his ankle out of her hands and lowers his body to grab her collar, dragging her off the
ground. Rex glares at her with scarlet eyes and gnashes, “You killed Lily and still want to replace her
now. I spoiled you, so you dare to play tricks brazenly in front of me. Now, she passed away, do you
think I will make you feel better?”
How much he covered for her, how much he hates her now!
She is the most vicious one. He doesn’t know when she started to make use of his feelings for her and
his guilt for her parents.
Marina feels a pain in her neck, scratched by the collar. She looks at the man who strangled her in a
panic, so she says without thinking, “You can’t do this to me. You promised my parents to take care of
me for the rest of my life. They died for you. You can’t break your promise!”
“I owe your parents, but I owe you nothing. Many years of care for you and the lives of Lily and two
babies in her womb are enough to repay their kindness!” Rex’s eyes are bloodshot. Thinking that he is
an indirect killer of Lily and their child for such a malicious woman, he regrets deeply, but his regrets
are useless.
Rex feels torturous and detests himself, regretting that he didn’t trust her and that he was an
accomplice. He yarns to die for Lily!
“By the way, Lily was pitiful. She loved two men desperately but no one really loved her.” Jade
suddenly sneers. “Probably I can meet her in hell soon.”
In fact, when she knew Lily died, Jade was still a little stunned. She thought she was the only one in a
dilemma. Unexpectedly, Lily was more miserable. Thus, her resentment towards Lily lessens and she
hates Marina more.
Jade knew Lily at a young age and knew most of her life. Jade doesn’t feel sad about her death but
feels pity for her.
They all have a worthless, short life.
As she finishes her talk, the door is pushed open again from the outside. It is Pehry, followed by a tall
man in a black shirt.
Jade stands still without looking back, and closes her eyes. She knows why they are here.
In the next second, her arms and neck are under control. She is hit on one side of the wall, her face
pressed against the wall. Her lips are knocked by the teeth, bleeding and deformed.
She has no intention of resisting at all and is taken out with hands tied obediently.
Watching Rex’s action to Marina, Pehry is frozen. In his memory, Rex always dotes on this woman and
hasn’t been mad at her. But now Rex does hurt her, which surprises him.
“Rex, I’m going to take her away.” Pehry reminds him.
“Don’t let her die. She’s valuable.” When he says this, Rex stares at Marina’s watery eyes. But his gaze
makes her heart trembling.
“Valuable?” Pehry is confused. “What’s her value?”
Rex suddenly loosens his grasp and pushes her away with nothing in his eyes but hatred. “She’s a
witness. She’s the one who murdered Melly. Lily is innocent.”
“What?” Petry can’t help but widen his eyes in shock, looking at the woman, who is cuddling on the
ground. “It’s you?!”
Everyone gets involved in the investigation. He had been watching how much Rex and Lily have
suffered but come to doom.
But now, it turns out that…
Pehry creases his brows, feeling shocked and then disgusted. He hasn’t expected that it is Melly’s
closest granddaughter who killed her.
“You’re right. The death of your parents has something to do with me. I promised them I would take
good care of you, the innocent you, but not a murderer. I should be to blame for the present Marina. My
indulgence cultivates a demon in your heart, so I will definitely exterminate her in person.” Rex is like a
judge, announcing her sins one by one. “You indirectly killed Lily. I won’t forgive you in my life.
Tomorrow, I’ll send you to the police station and the following procedures will be executed according to
law.”
“No… No!” Marina is terrified. She knows he is serious, judging from his love for Lily. She lets aside her
dignity, holding his foot and begging, “Rex, I’m not in a good condition. You’re sending me to death.
Didn’t you want to let me go abroad for treatment? I agree with you. Please…”
“It’s too late.” The man rejects her mercilessly and avoids her touches, feeling enraged and sad. “Lily
and her child died because of you. If I save you and forgive you, I’ll be the accomplice.”
Marina still tries to save herself. Even when someone drags her arms out, she still turns around to
shout. However, the man has made up his mind and nothing can be changed.
In the end, her yelling sound is cut off by the door. Pehry looks at the lonely shadow under the light and
feels sad. “Rex, I’m going to take them away. Don’t be sad.”
After finishing, Pehry thinks it’s impossible for Rex to not be sad, thus adding, “Why not live in my home
for a few days?”
At least, Rex probably won’t feel worse when seeing the old scene.
“No, thanks.” His voice is hoarse, with a trace of sadness. “What if she comes back one day but I’m not
here? She will feel sad.”
Then Rex directly steps to the second floor, no matter what Pehry will think. It’s the bedroom that he
spent countless days and nights with Lily.
There is dead silence in the vast villa, which makes Pehry feel chilly. Rex used to hold parties here and
had fun with several friends. But why would this day happen?
Pehry sighs silently. What a tragedy!
