Chapter 273: I Own Them, Not You
Chapter 273: I Own Them, Not You
The accident has become of the talk of the city since the accident happened just half-day ago. Even though Rex has nothing to do with it, it involves Karl and his hospital, which he does not want to see the most.
The copied material he got is like a hot potato at this time. Even Rex himself is not sure whether to keep it or throw it away. Keeping the footage would make Karl scapegoat, or else Lily would get into deep waters. Both the results are the last he wants to see.
They could have bribed their way to prolong the announcement. Now, everything has been messed up because of Marina’s call.
That aside, he wonders about how Marina was sure that Melly had passed away.
Rex can see Marina’s panic clearly. Under such a hint, it is impossible to hide all traces of mood swings even if Marina is skilled in acting.
Also, for these reasons, she does not continue to hide but deliberately distorted the facts. “Yes, I knew it. I personally saw Lily held the injection. If my grandma didn’t die, why don’t you let me meet her! Besides, she simply couldn’t stand a slightest torment in such poor health!”
“Then tell me. Why did you ask someone who has an ulterior motive to come to the hospital in the middle of the night?” After all, Marina offered to meet.
“I don’t know that she could be out of her mind. I just wanted to make things clear to her. I admit that I wanted her to stay out of our relationship by such plan. But I didn’t expect...” Marina’s tears roll out. She cries bitterly as if she has lost the most important person in her life, “I didn’t expect her to be so venomous. She didn’t even let an old woman off!”
“Venomous?” Rex watches Marina as her tears covered all over her face. He did not feel sorry for Marina but feel ironic, “I will investigate till the truth prevails. We’ll see who exactly the venomous one is.”
“Rex!” Seeing him leaving, Marina roars. The man keeps walking, determined. She simply rushes forward and hugs his back, sticking her face up, “I had lost my parents because of you. Now I lose my last relative because of your lover. If you have a bit of guilty conscience, you shouldn’t do this to me!”
“...”
“My grandma had died but you suspect I did it?” Marina sneered, so helplessly yet pitifully. She has considered herself as a victim and Lily as the perpetrator, “Even though I hate her, how would I kill my grandma? I’m also a human being. My grandma is gone and I’m extremely grieved, sad, and also angry. What’s wrong with that I exposed Lily? I just want a fair justice!”
Marina’s every single word is correct. However, it becomes a knife in Rex’s heart. She points towards Lily and shifts the responsibility on her. In this way, Rex would not believe Lily to be the murderer.
From the first impression, he knows that Lily is simple yet beautiful and no one could match her. She has a pair of curved eyes when she smiles. Even her tears are like clear crystal.
A vicious person will not have such pair of touching eyes. When Lily cried and recounted what had happened, how could he not believe her?
Rex breaks away from the woman behind him. He does not even look at her but just slightly looked to Marina’s side like giving alms, “I will investigate the truth. As for your parents’ deaths…. they did die because of me. I owed them, but I didn’t owe you.”
“I’m their daughter, why didn’t you owe me!?” Marina feels painful, for her parents’ deaths were the biggest blow in her life, “How could you say that lightly? Nothing is more important than life. You don’t even know what their deaths meant to me!” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
After so many years, this is the first time Marina has spoken bluntly. It is not that she does not care nor mind, but for a long time, she has been taken care of by Rex that she forgot hatred. Now his words rekindle the hatred in her heart.
