Ella wasn't angry either. After she lost her home and her family, there were many things that she had already understood.
This bit of hypocrisy and dislike from Elena was really nothing to her.
She stared at Elena expressionlessly. "Elena, you like Lukas, right? Tell me, what will Lukas do to you if I tell him that during the Rivers family dinner party, you borrowed a knife to kill someone and used me to deal with Reese?" She said.
Elena's face instantly changed. "It was you who wanted to deal with Reese because Anthony liked her, what does it have to do with me?" She said, still looking at Ella with disgust.
Ella laughed, and her smile made Elena shudder. "Is that so? Then I would like to give it a try. Whether Lukas will believe my words or not, I have nothing to lose anyway, so I'm not afraid of anything, Elena."
Elena's face changed again and again, she finally glared viciously at Ella: "Okay, fine, I’ll help you. But I'll only help you this time." She said.
Ella put away her scary smile. "That's enough for me."
Elena was angry and aggrieved. "Don't come near me again in the future!" She yelled.
Ella sneered at her remark. "My phone number hasn't changed, having someone give me the car and the message is enough." She said, completely ignoring Elena’s outburst.
After Ella finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Her family was broken, she was ruined, and the child was aborted. With all of this, she was going to make those two people pay a terrible price.
…………
Lunch at noon.
Elena had previously said that she wanted to talk to Reese about the custom-made jewelry she wants to commission.
But the encounter with Ella shook her to the core. As a result, during the meal, she frequently wandered off, always absent-minded.
After dinner, Elena left, but Elias pestered Ava and was unwilling to leave.
They ate near the company and walked back after eating.
Elias didn't have the slightest intention to leave. He looked at Lukas. "How could you do this to me, Lukas? Avy is working in your company, and you didn't even tell me about it." He whined.
Lukas had a disgusted look on his face, "I didn't know she was working at my company."
Ava was in Strakovski's Information Technology Department. Martins knew, but he didn't feel that a small employee would also have to report to Lukas.
Lukas only realized today that Ava was also in Strakovski.
Elias pursed his lips and stared at Lin Xi with a pair of passionate eyes. "Avy, is Strakovski Jewelry fun? If it's not fun, you can always come to my company. I will welcome you with open arms!" He exclaimed.
Ava looked at him incredulously as if he grew another pair of heads above his shoulders.
She ignored Elias and accelerated her steps.
Elias, however, was not rubbed by it at all and playfully followed her.
Reese and Lukas walked in the back at a slow pace. Lukas knew that her ankle was still in pain, which is why she is not walking fast.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the company, Lukas opened his mouth. "Does your foot still hurt?" He asked.
Reese glanced at Lukas: "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you for your concern, Mr. Strakovski." She said.
Lukas choked, his handsome face was a bit dark, uncomfortable hearing her use such a respectful tone.
After all, he wanted to keep a distance between them and maintain a name-only relationship.
She no longer sees that man as her real father.
After all. there was no father in the world who treated their child like that.
Lukas's mood was a bit heavy. "Then, how do you feel about your mother? What kind of emotions do you have towards her?"
Reese looked up sharply at Lukas. "Why are you asking me about this, Mr. Strakovski?" She said. Every fiber of her being is questioning the man that is with her right now. It’s very much unlike him to pry on her past experiences.
Lukas seemed a bit uneasy and turned his gaze away, eyes flickering, "It's nothing, just a casual question. After all, despite Ricardo treating you so badly, you haven't developed a vengeful personality. Your childhood should not have been too bad. So, I'm curious, what kind of person is your mother, and what are your feelings towards her?" He said.
Reese stared at Lukas for a few seconds, "Mr. Strakovski, why are you curious about these things? It's very much unlike you." She said.
Lukas began to feel a little guilty. "Is that so? I was just asking casually. If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."
Reese thought of her mother, her eyes were a little nostalgic. "There's nothing inconvenient to talk about. However, no matter how many words I use, they cannot fully describe our relationship. She was very kind to me, and I loved her very much. She was a wonderful person." She said.
Reese didn't say the rest. If it weren't for her mother, she would definitely have developed a vengeful personality.
Lukas's mood was a bit complicated, he originally wanted to comfort Reese with a few words.
But before he could say anything, Reese opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Strakovski, we’re almost at the company. I'll leave first, so as not to be misunderstood by others."
After Reese finished speaking, she ignored the pain in her ankle and quickened her pace.
Lukas looked at her back and watched her leave, his face turning extremely unpleasant.
At this moment, only one phrase came to his mind: you reap what you sow.
