Let's Get Married

The man stands up from the couch and walks over to her, “Then I have something need you to cooperate with."

"What?"

"Testify."

"Testify?" Marina is baffled, not understanding why he would suddenly say such a thing, "For what testimony?"

"Lily's lawsuit, I want you to deny it in court."

"What?" Marina looks at him incredulously; she is so shocked that she forgets to even disguise her expression, which she is always good at.

He wants her to testify for Lily and wants her to deny it?

Marina smiles incomparably stiffly but still asks, "Deny what?"

"The things you supposedly saw, and all the statements you took with the police." Rex talks smoothly with not even a little emotion, as if he is explaining a very common and ordinary matter.

But Marina is still shocked, if she does it then wouldn't all the efforts she has made be in vain? How is that possible! She had a hard time sending Lily to such a desperate situation and she will never let her out again!

"I do not agree." Marina refuses it without thinking, "She killed my grandmother, I'd like to see her go to jail, why should I let her go!"

"She didn't do it." Nixon stares at her and says word by word, "Who did it, you should know very well."

Marina is trying to calm down, "I saw it, and the surveillance camera caught it, besides her who else can do it!"

When she finishes her words, she even asks rhetorically, "Do you think it was me?"
