A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 224

Elias pouted, "That's me being shallow, only noticing the surface!"

Lukas, looking at him like he was an idiot, said, "You're not just shallow. You're even worse than that."

Elias looked a bit disheartened and couldn't help but frown at Lukas, "Can you stop belittling me? I feel like I genuinely like Miss Smith. She's different from other women! When she was sitting there today, it was like she was radiating light. You have no idea how fast my heart was beating!"

Lukas finally reacted, his face stern. "Don't underestimate her. She's different from you, not to mention, she's Reese's best friend. She's not liked the women you used to play around with."

Elias became somewhat impatient. "Who said I was playing around? I'm serious this time!"

Lukas looked at him sarcastically, not mincing words. "Yes, you're quite serious. Over these years, the number of times you've been serious, we can't even count on both our hands combined!"

Elias fell completely silent this time.

After a long silence, he looked at Lukas and said, "Weren't you going to talk to your wife? You mentioned that earlier."

"I'm thinking about something. Don't babble. Go investigate the mole quickly!" his voice was indifferent.

Elias frowned. "Rest assured, I'll dig out the mole even if I have to turn the company upside down tonight. But what are you thinking about?"

Lukas's expression turned enigmatic. His lips slightly curved. "I'm thinking... about how to make that Xavier wish he were dead."

Elias looked at Lukas's expression and couldn't help shivering.

He had finally understood that Mr. Xavier was probably done for this time!

When Lukas got angry, it wasn't so frightening. What was truly chilling was his calm demeanor. Someone was probably in for a world of trouble.

Within a day, he suffered a huge loss. The movie they were making was funded by bank loans. However, with the current situation, the money invested was obviously a lost cause. Bank loans had to be repaid, and the bank started pressuring for repayment.

Mr. Xavier was just plugging one hole with another.

In just a day's time, the game company was also facing a severe financial crisis.

Mr. Xavier had never been in such a pitiful state before. The fierce, vengeful expression he had previously was polished away in a single day.

That evening, tired and exhausted, he returned home and suddenly noticed that the lights in the living room were on.

His face changed dramatically, his whole-body tense-there was someone in his house!

"Who's there? Get the hell out!" Magnus, trembling like a frightened bird, a mixture of shock and anger causing him to angrily shout, as if he wanted to release all the pent-up frustration of the day.
