CEO's Dumb Bride

Chapter 75 Lilian Protected Her

Chapter 75 Lilian Protected Her

Lilian held Courtney's hand and shook her head, wanting to tell Courtney not to turn herself in.

Courtney seemed to understand what she meant and laughed angrily. "I finally managed to come out. If I miss this chance, it will be difficult for me to come here again."

Lilian held onto her tightly, not letting her go.

Courtney looked at her stubborn face, opened her mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

It had stopped raining by now, with the clouds hiding the sun and the sunlight occasionally peeking through.

After a while, Courtney finally stopped smiling and looked deeply at Lilian. "Lilian, if it weren't for those people's death, I would have been grateful to Francis. He made me see through a lot of people."

"But..." She smiled. "You didn't make me regret it, so what I did was worth it."

Lilian still didn't let go of Courtney, though there was a vast difference in strength between them. Courtney could easily push her away with a flick of her finger.

But Courtney didn't do that.

"Let me go."

Lilian shook her head.

Courtney was amused by her again. Just then, a car zoomed by, and a soda can flew out of the window, hitting Courtney's forehead with a loud thud.

It didn't hurt, but the sound was loud.

This hostile and humiliating blow instantly quieted the atmosphere.

Lilian turned to look at the car which had already gone far away. It was a taxi.

After a long time, Courtney turned back, and casually said to Lilian, "See? This is my current situation. I'm like a rat crossing the street, and everyone wants to beat me."

Lilian let go of her and gestured with her hand, "It's not your fault."

"I've tried to convince myself the same way, but you may not understand that feeling. It's different from killing fish or chickens."

This guilt and panic would accompany her for the rest of her life.

After all, the dead couldn't be brought back to life.

Her family had been mentally and physically exhausted these past few days because of her, and she could imagine how the families of those who died must be grieving.

Lilian looked at her, and now Courtney couldn't feel her helplessness feeling like a headless chicken.

Courtney continued, "You should have left Francis as soon as possible. He is not a good person. This man sometimes likes to play dumb, especially when it comes to relationships because playing dumb can solve ninety percent of the troubles."

She gave Lilian many instructions as if she were leaving her last words. Lilian listened and became even more reluctant to let go of her.

Just then, several taxis came speeding towards them and stopped steadily in front of the two of them.

Several men and women got out of the taxis and quickly surrounded them.

"We finally found you, you murderer! Do you think you can settle things with 400 thousand dollars after my sister died?"

The man in his thirties looked disreputable, with a tuft of dyed red hair on his head. He didn't seem like a decent person.

Courtney surveyed them. There were also several middle-aged people in their forties and fifties who were most likely the family members of the deceased, and they started crying as soon as they arrived. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"You rich people deserve to die. How lawless! How dare you kill people in broad daylight and still get away with it! You should pay for my son's death with blood!"

"Oh dear God, please punish these heartless people..."

Seeing how aggressive they were, Lilian glanced back at Courtney.

But Courtney seemed to be numb already, just looking expressionlessly at them as if watching a play.

Seeing that she didn't react, the men became more anxious. "Tie her up and take her straight to the police station! I don't believe the police won't arrest her today!"

As they spoke, the crowd rushed forward, wanting to grab Courtney.

Courtney got off the motorcycle and was about to speak, but Lilian suddenly stood in front of her.

Courtney was slightly stunned as she looked at Lilian.
