A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 144

Ella tightly clenched her hands. She could feel that the illegitimate child inside her was gone. Her life was now utterly hopeless, but revenge was her only motivation to keep going. She wanted to kill Alexa and Gerald, those despicable scumbags.

Unbeknownst to Ella, the group of men who assaulted her had made a call as soon as they left the alley.

"Mr. Parker, we followed your instructions and said everything in front of that woman."

On the other end of the call, the man was evidently pleased.

It was Alexa who had arranged for them to teach Ella a lesson. However, they didn't expect that right after making that call, someone approached them, giving them another task.

Dealing with Ella and saying a few lines was indeed too simple.

............

At the same time, in a private room at Cresta Del Bosque's Bambú Verde Hall:

Martins entered and whispered something to Lukas. Lukas's eyes flashed, and she nodded. Then, he looked at Gerald and Elias beside him.

"Elias, I have something to take care of, could you entertain Gerald for me? After all, he's my brother-in-law now. Let him have some fun."

Gerald already knew about Reese and Lukas's marriage, but he had promised Lukas not to talk about it outside.

This was Gerald's first time coming to Cresta Del Bosque's Bambú Verde Hall's private room, and he felt a little uneasy. However, he immediately gained confidence when he remembered that he was Lukas's brother-in-law.

Elias smiled like a fox, "Sure, Lukas. You go and take care of your business. I'll make sure he has a good time."

Lukas cast a meaningful glance at Elias, then got up and left.

After Lukas left the hall, Lukas went to Sala De Fragancia De Orquídea.

Martins followed behind him and said, "Mr. Strakovski, Alexa attacked Ella. I had them insinuate to Ella that her family's misfortune was related to Alexa and that it was Gerald and Alexa's idea to treat her this way."

Lukas responded with an indifferent hum and walked lazily towards Sala De Fragancia De Orquídea.

Inside the private room, Ricardo was waiting. When he saw Lukas enter, he immediately stood up, "Mr. Strakovski."

Lukas walked over and sat on the sofa. She raised her lazy eyelids and looked at Ricardo, "I heard Mr. Roberts has something to discuss with me."

Ricardo quickly took out two folded pieces of paper from his briefcase and handed them to Lukas, "Mr. Strakovski, this is something that Reese's mother left for her."

Lukas raised his eyebrows slightly. Ricardo held the papers up for a long time, and Lukas finally reached out lazily and took them. His slender fingertips gently held the paper as he examined it. He had previously obtained a sample of Reese's mother's handwriting to confirm his suspicions.

However, as soon as he unfolded the paper, his eyes caught a sentence that read, 'Reese, although I'm not your biological mother, I...'

Lukas immediately folded the paper back; his expression looked somewhat unsightly.

Ricardo nodded repeatedly, "Rest assured that I won't say a word, Mr. Strakovski."

He felt somewhat regretful; he couldn't use Reese anymore. He had planned to make Reese repay him for what Gemma had concealed from him. Now, it seemed impossible.

Lukas didn't even want to look at Ricardo, coldly saying, "You may leave now."

Since this man wasn't Alexa's biological father and had exploited her in such a manner, Lukas saw no reason to show him any mercy.

Ricardo's face changed, but he didn't dare to offend Lukas and silently stood up and left.

............

After staying at home for two days, Alexa was ready to return to work. Her foot was still not completely healed, but she could walk with caution.

In the morning, after finishing breakfast, Lukas picked up his car keys and said, "Let's go, I'll drive you to work."

Remembering the way, he had left Reese alone after saying a few words, and then not returning for two consecutive days until last night, Alexa hesitated. She couldn't understand why a man could be so easily angered.

Having grown accustomed to keeping her distance from Lukas, she instinctively declined, "It's okay, I can manage on my own."

Lukas's handsome face darkened immediately as he looked at Alexa, his expression gloomy, "I'm inconveniencing you by offering to drive you to work?"
