A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 139

Ricardo's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Lukas spoke again, "Mr. Roberts, my patience is limited."

Ricardo's eyebrows twitched heavily, and he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He mustered up the courage to speak, "I can give the things to Mr. Strakovski, but let's wait until Alexa marries Gerald."

Ricardo was a clever person. He knew that Raymond Rhodes was not an ordinary person in Switzerland, yet Lukas managed to gather evidence and report him in such a short time, showing the strength of Lukas's influence. It was beyond the capability of an ordinary person to offend him.

Lukas glanced mockingly at Ricardo, realizing that Ricardo was not as domineering as he thought after threatening Reese.

So be it.

He stood up, leaving a parting remark, "They can register their marriage today. I hope Mr. Roberts won't disappoint me."

After saying that, Lukas left the private room.

He stopped at the entrance of the room, seemingly thinking of something, and then turned back to face Ricardo. "Do not disturb Reese anymore."

He continued, "Mr. Roberts, I have a bad temper. If I find out that you've crossed the line again and bothered Reese, you can imagine the consequences yourself."

Ricardo's back was covered in a cold sweat. He had never realized that this young man could be so intimidating.

He sat in the private room for quite a while, and it is when he started feeling that his legs were no longer weak that he finally stand up and leave the premises.

After Lukas left the private room, Martins quickly caught up with him and asked, "Mr. Strakovski, are we going back to the company now?"

Lukas didn't answer his question. Instead, he gave an order, "Inform the Hughes Family that I can give them the project they mentioned earlier, but under the condition that Gerald must register his marriage with Reese today."

The Hughes Family was one of the few who knew the true depth of Lukas's background; otherwise, they wouldn't have been eager to carry favors with him. While others believed Lukas to be just a jewelry emperor, the Hughes Family had a deeper understanding. Though they didn't know his real identity, they knew that Lukas had his hands in many major projects across various industries in Switzerland. It showed that he had influence in both politics and business, making his words carry great weight.

Martins nodded, "All right, I'll handle it right away."

Lukas thought for a moment and added, "I won't be heading to the company today. I'll go home. There's nothing important to do when I go home, so there's no need to call me."

Martins nodded again, watching Lukas leave.

Anthony sighed helplessly, "She disappeared somewhere after her mother's death. It seems like she doesn't care about anything anymore. I can't reach her now. I'm also worried about you. Will your father still force you to seek help from Lukas?"

Reese pursed her lips and looked worried, "He probably won't anymore. With the Rhodes Family in such a mess, Alexa's chances of marrying Gerald should be greater in my father's eyes. He shouldn't make things difficult for me like before."

Anthony felt that Reese's analysis made sense, "That's good. If you need anything, feel free to ask me for help. I'll go find Ella now."

Reese nodded in response and hung up the phone.

Thinking about the Rhodes Family's situation, Reese was still dazed. She couldn't believe that in just a few short hours, the Rhodes Family had fallen apart.

As an observer, Reese's heart was filled with a mix of complex emotions.

The sudden incident in the Rhodes Family also disrupted Reese's plan. She wanted to retrieve her mother's letter but had no idea how to negotiate with Ricardo.

While pondering, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.

The person outside seemed impatient and continuously pressed the doorbell, producing an extremely grating sound.
