A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 383

Reese looked up at him, pursed her lips tightly, and the pain in her eyes was clearly visible, and her tears were about to flow: "But, it must be very painful; it's all my fault; I should have been more careful then!"

Lukas sighed; this was the first time Reese had shown such real emotions towards him, but it made him feel distressed as well.

For the first time, he wished that she would rather not express her emotions so truthfully.

Because he didn't want to see her like this at all.

He looked at her and said tenderly, "Don't blame yourself. If there is a lunatic on the street who stabs people with a knife and I happen to save them, do you want to blame those whom I saved as well for not being careful?"

Reese turned her face away sadly, quickly rubbed her eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "But that's different!"

Lukas said helplessly, "Actually, they are all the same. No one would expect that Peter would go crazy!"

Reese did not speak. Lukas paused and continued: "Don't think about anything else for now; since the other party was after you, Officer Garcia will definitely ask you about this matter later; you can tell him about that plotting incident with Chloe Preston when the time comes. I will also speed up the investigation on my side; it's best to work together, so we could easily track the mastermind behind the scenes as quickly as possible; otherwise, I am really worried about your safety!"

Reese pursed her lips and nodded.

After an hour of waiting, Reese and Lukas finally learned the truth.

Peter had lost his chance of killing Reese, so he could only disclose the whole truth.

It turned out that within this year only, Peter's father was diagnosed with cancer. For poor families, such a disease could helplessly ruin a family's peaceful life.

Although Peter didn't study well and had dropped out of junior high school, he was the kind of son that looked after their family, which earned him praise from his relatives and neighbors. In order to treat his father's illness, he worked part-time for several hours and slept less than three hours a day.

He was such a thin-looking young man who tried his best to carry his crumbling home on his shoulders.

When he heard that Reese's friend could restore the surveillance video, he immediately panicked.

When the time comes, he will be found to have committed murder. He has no money to compensate for the expenses and no lawyer to defend himself. He will definitely have to pay for his life.

It is not a pity if he died, but what about his parents.

During the process of the police investigation, he thought about it and finally chose to take the risk.

As long as he can kill Reese, even in front of everyone, and as long as she dies, the other party will definitely give him the money. At that time, if he dies, his parents will still have money for the medical treatment.

That would be enough for him!

And that's when the scene happened-him panicking and attacking Reese.
