A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 148

Reese turned her head and saw Ava's cold little face at a glance, her brows furrowed.

Ava looked at the four people in front of her, seemingly a little confused by the lineup.

Reese smiled, a glance saw through Ava's thoughts, and just as she was about to approach her and explain, someone jumped ahead of her. "Avy…"

Ava frowned in disgust and moved away from him a bit. "Mr. Schmidt, I have a name, and my name is Ava." She said coldly.

Elias was a bit hurt at Ava’s reply. "Avy, we haven't seen each other for a few days, don't be so cold."

Ava couldn't stand looking at him. "Mr. Schmidt, please have some respect for yourself."

Elias sighed helplessly. "We've known each other for so long, why are you always so hostile to me?" He whined.

Ava’s face remained expressionless. "If you were more normal, I wouldn't treat you like this."

Elias looked innocent as he turned his head to look at Reese and Lukas with big puppy eyes. "Am I not normal?"

Lukas stared at Reese, not paying attention to Elias.

Reese didn't want to stand here and attract attention, so she opened her mouth and said, "Ava, we're going out to eat, do you want to join us?"

When Elias heard Reese's words, he immediately gave her a look of approval.

Ava looked at Elias and then at Reese, "All right, let's go together then."

Several people walked towards the outside.

Elias couldn't contain his excitement. "Avy, it's great that you're joining us. The more people, the merrier!"

Ava chose to ignore him, and the corners of Reese's mouth twitched twice. "Mr. Schmidt, don't be too enthusiastic, Ava is a bit afraid of your enthusiasm."

Elias wilted a bit, with a puzzled face. " Really? Aren't they saying that girls are fond of being pursued by guys? How can a girl not like a man being enthusiastic about her? It's a recognition of her charm."

Reese laughed. "Mr. Schmidt, you seem to have a lot of experience."

"That's right, think back in the day, I was…" Elias saw Ava side-eyeing him, and he quickly changed the subject, "I was quite reserved, and I've fended off countless admirers."

Lukas looked at Reese joking with Elias and felt a bit uncomfortable with the sight that Reese could be that comfortable with someone.

Almost without thinking, he interrupted, "Seems like you are just a womanizer. Playing around, not being selective with your admirers."

Reese heard Lukas's words and laughed softly, "Mr. Strakovski must have a point. Otherwise, how could someone who claims to be pure and innocent have so much experience?"

Elias glared at Lukas with a grudging face, "Lukas, you said that on purpose."

Lukas's glanced at Reese from the corner of his eye. Seeing her smiling easily, and her eyes seemed to have twinkling stars in them.

His lips curved upwards. " Yes, I am sincere. I am sincere in deliberately disrupting your conversation."

Elias didn't expect that Lukas admitted it so honestly, leaving him at a loss for words.

Feeling a surge of jealousy, Elena clenched her fists.

Elena lowered her voice and looked a little disgusted. "What do you want? And how did you find this place?"

Now that the Rhodes Family had fallen into disrepair, Elena naturally did not need to flatter Ella anymore, much less rush to look at her face.

Ella looked at Elena with a ghostly gaze, as if she were an evil spirit, especially oozing.

"I'm looking for you for something, and I heard your family say that you and Elias came to Strakovski Jewelry to look for Lukas." She said, her tone was soft and sinister as she spoke.

Ella knew about Lukas submitting his father's evidence.

However, he had no grudge against the Rhodes Family, so why would he do that? Thinking about to what those men said that fateful night, she understood.

In the end, it was all because of that bitch Alexa, who tried to marry Gerald, that caused her family’s downfall.

She was no match for Lukas, she knew that in her heart, but she also didn't want to go over to Lukas for revenge.

Compared to Lukas, she hated Gerald and Alexa even more, and she wished she could rip them apart and shatter their bodies into pieces.

Elena was creeped out by Ella's gaze, and she just wanted to get rid of her quickly. "What do you want from me?" She asked, her tone showing impatience.

"Give me a car and find someone to help me monitor Alexa and Gerald's movements," Ella said bluntly.

Elena's expression froze. "Ella, are you crazy? Why would I help you with that?"
