A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 257

Reese had assumed that after all the commotion, the day would finally come to an end once work was over.

However, just two minutes before quitting time, Cole sent a message to their group chat.

Cole: [@Ava @Reese, I'm with Chloe now. Tonight, we'd like to invite both of you to dinner at Stork House Building.

It was like one wave hadn't even settled before another rose!

It was only now that Reese realized Cole had never officially informed her or Ava that he and Chloe were together.

The only reason she and Ava knew was because Chloe had provoked them herself.

Ava was still nursing his emotional wounds, and now she had to face the affectionate couple.

Reese felt extremely unhappy about this!

Cole's actions were like stabbing Ava in the heart.

But then, Cole didn't know Ava liked him, so was he really in the wrong?

Reese's head was spinning with confusion!

Just as she was contemplating how to decline, she saw Ava agreeing to the dinner invitation.

Ava: [No problem, Senior. Tell us the address, and Reese and I will come over. But I have plans with a friend tonight too. Can I bring them along?]

Cole: [Of course! But aren't you both surprised?]

Ava: [I am surprised. Congratulations on finding true love, Senior!]

Reese watched their conversation unfold and couldn't help but feel heartache.

She sent a private message to Ava.

Reese: [Ava, what are you doing? I know you're not happy. We don't have to go if you don't want to! Also, do you have other friends? Why didn't I know?]

Ava: [Why not go? To make Chloe feel uneasy? Am I coveting her boyfriend?]

Ava: [And yes, I really do have plans with someone else tonight. They're actually sitting in our IT department right now!]

Reese: [??? Who???]

As soon as Chloe saw Elias next to Ava, her smile froze for a moment. She calmly let go of Cole's arm and greeted, "You've arrived, Miss Smith. And who is this?"

Her smiley gaze was fixed on Elias.

She never expected that just as she had managed to win Cole over, Ava would bring along such a rich and handsome guy.

Elias didn't look like an ordinary person by any means.

Elias had already investigated Chloe thoroughly. He knew about her dual affairs, where she frequently used men as her ATM cards. She seemed to think men were her meal tickets. She probably didn't realize he knew!

However, for Ava's sake, Elias had to keep this information hidden. Otherwise, Ava might struggle to let go of Cole, and who knows, she might even want to help Ava escape Chloe's trap!

He smiled calmly and said, "Hello, I'm Ava's friend, Elias!"

Chloe's eyes widened in surprise, "You're Mr Schmidt!"

Elias's reputation had reached her ears a long time ago. Although he was Lukas's close friend, he usually visited Lukas using the CEO's exclusive elevator. Regular employees like them rarely had a chance to meet him.

Chloe never expected to see him in person today.
