A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 233

Lukas calmly looked at Reese and softly spoke, "Previously, at The Night Prowl, when you were bullied by Magnus Xavier, Elena was the one instigating and encouraging him to do so."

Reese's face changed immediately upon hearing this.

No wonder Lukas had apologized to her today. He probably knew that it was James who had saved her that day, and he understood why she had stood up for James.

Her expression became complex.

It took her so long to uncover the truth behind this incident, and it turned out to be like this!

She looked at Elena, her expression turning to one of disgust, even more profound than her disdain for Gwendolyn.

Recalling that night in the private room when she was surrounded by Magnus Xavier and his group, feeling trapped and desperate, she wished she could slaughter Elena and feed her to the dogs!

She spoke with an indifferent tone, "Mr. Strakovski, I'll follow your lead in handling this matter. I have no objections to how you choose to deal with her."

Reese vividly remembered that the last time she spared Gwen, she and Lukas had nearly died in that dilapidated, pitch-black rural shack.

Upon hearing Reese's words, Lukas's expression visibly softened considerably.

Clearly, Reese's explanation had satisfied him.

Elias hadn't expected that Elena not only implanted a virus into his computer but also conspired with Magnus Xavier to tarnish Reese's reputation.

No wonder Lukas was so furious. Elias's mind was in turmoil.

Lukas calmly looked at Elias. "After this meal, I don't want to see Elena again."

Before Elias could say anything, Mr. Schmidt suddenly stood up and knelt beside his chair, facing Elias and Lukas. "Elias, Mr. Stakovski, Elena has lost her way. I'm not sure what wrong she's done, but I beg you, give her a chance at life. She's my only daughter! If you want someone killed or punished, do it to me instead! Please, I implore you!"

During this time, he had observed how Lukas stood up for Reese, took hits for her, all because she was easily shaken. This woman's significance to Lukas was clearly not ordinary.

Calmly, he looked at Reese and spoke, "Reese, do you mind if I call you that?"

Reese shook her head. "No, not at all."

In the past, he would always address her as "Miss Roberts." This way of addressing her was an obvious attempt to foster closer ties.

He said, "Elene is foolish, malicious, and clearly deserves severe punishment. The things she did to you and the losses she caused to our jointly owned gaming company with Lukas make me furious. Not just him, even I feel like giving her a hard time!"

"However, her father, Mr. Schmidt, is a good person, my senior, and he's saved my life. I truly can't ignore him. I know you dislike Elena, but considering my face, spare her life. I promise you won't see her again in the future. Is that acceptable?"

Reese looked conflicted as she glanced at Elias, then turned her head to look at Lukas.
