A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 229

The more Anika Styles thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more she wanted to establish her dominance over Reese Roberts.

Pointing her finger at Reese, Anika declared, "Miss Roberts, today I want to be perfectly clear with you. Don't think just because you're a renowned designer now that you can look down on your clients. You better think twice, who knows if your client's friend might become your future boss? Do you understand, Miss Roberts?"

Her words were intended to be a direct hit, spoken in an almost straightforward manner.

It was as if she assumed that Rose had already become Mr. Strakovski's wife, and in the next moment, she would be able to whisper into Rose's ear, potentially leading to Reese's downfall!

"Miss Styles," Reese glanced at her calmly, devoid of any emotions in her tone, "do you have any further design requirements aside from these? If not, I'll continue working on the design. Feel free to enjoy your tea while I step out to work."

With that, Reese finished speaking and stood up, heading out directly.

As she reached the door, she heard Anika Styles angrily shout, "Reese Roberts!"

Reese turned her head to look at Miss Styles, her gaze cold and piercing, causing Anika's heart to skip a beat.

Without saying a word, Reese opened the door and left.

Anika was infuriated. She was so close to saying outright that Rose might become Mr. Strakovski's wife, but Miss Roberts still dared to show her no respect!

She was really infuriated!

Once Rose climbed onto Mr. Strakovski's big tree, she would make Miss Roberts pay!

At the same time, in the CEO's office on the top floor.

Rose looked at Lukas cautiously, "Mr. Strakovski, about the previous rumors, I've been wanting to apologize to you in person. Unfortunately, I never found the opportunity. I wanted to apologize to you face-to-face in Menkerios before, but you didn't answer my call or respond to my messages. I..."

Lukas's expression was cold, and he interrupted her directly, "No need!"

Rose bit her lip, looking pitiable.

Rose felt a bit upset. While she had intentions of using Mr. Strakovski to advance, she also genuinely liked the man.

He was powerful, indifferent, domineering, and every aspect of him held a fatal attraction for her.

She refused to believe that there was a man who wouldn't be swayed by her beauty.

She stubbornly stood her ground, reaching to pull at the strap of her dress.

Lukas didn't expect this young woman to have such thick skin in this day and age.

His expression was as icy as frost as he spoke directly, "Miss Gibbs, I think you might have misunderstood. I didn't pay any attention to those rumors because I didn't care in the first place. Also, I'm married. My wife has a better background than you, a prettier face, a better figure, and a higher education than you."

"I already have a precious gem; I have no interest in inferior imitations. Please restrain yourself! Furthermore, I have no intention of betraying my wife. I suggest you leave immediately, or else I won't hesitate to have someone escort you out. At that point, nobody's face will look good."

Rose finally froze. She looked at Lukas in disbelief, "Mr. Strakovski... you're married?"
