A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 261

Rose was so frightened that she practically lost her soul, collapsing weakly into Lukas's arms.

Lukas frowned. Despite his ruthless methods, he couldn't just stand by and watch as a person was hit by a car right in front of him.

The car had crashed into the stone pillar in front of Stork House Building, nearly half of it crushed in. The driver's forehead was against the steering wheel, blood running down.

Lukas released Rose, saying, "Stand on your own!"

Rose's body went weak, stumbling for a moment before quickly steadying herself against the nearby wall.

Lukas, his face cold, called Martins, "I've had a bit of an incident at Stork House Building. Please look into whether it was an accident or if it was intentional!"

Martins's voice was serious, "Understood, I'll investigate right away!"

Lukas hung up, giving Rose a sidelong glance, "Rose, I'll warn you once again. If you don't want to be blacklisted, stay far away from me in the future!"

Rose's lips quivered slightly, and she managed to force out, "I understand, thank you, Mr. Strakovski, for earlier!"

Lukas didn't even spare her a glance. To everyone present, the incident just now appeared to be an accident.

Lukas's car arrived, and he left without hesitation.

When Lukas returned home, Reese was seated on the sofa, with only a dim floor lamp lighting up the living room.

Little Reese was quietly nestled beside her, seemingly sensing her owner's bad mood, and was behaving especially quiet and obedient today.

Lukas changed his shoes, took off his coat, loosened his tie, and cast a glance at Reese, "Why are you sitting in the living room?"

As he spoke, he smiled and walked over to sit down.

He was still immersed in the subtle emotional changes between himself and Reese, completely unaware of her unease.

However, as soon as he sat down, Reese frowned at him, "Have you been drinking?"

Lukas's voice, slightly hoarse from drinking, sounded sexy, "Just a little. Not enough for drunk driving!"

Staring at her, he furrowed his brows slightly, "Reese, what's wrong with you?"

Reese coldly laughed, "Nothing's wrong with me. I'm just a bit curious whether you men all like to go back on your words!"

Clearly saying that he had nothing with Rose, yet secretly going on a date with her-truly eye-opening.

For some reason, Reese's heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lukas's brows furrowed deeply, "What nonsense are you spouting? What's this about going back on my words? Explain yourself clearly!"

Reese was already quite angry, having witnessed everything herself.

Did she have to embarrass herself by saying it out loud in front of Lukas and then ask why?

It would be so unsightly, so demeaning, and she wanted no part of it!

Reese glanced at Lukas, her expression icy, "You can just consider it nonsense!"
