A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

Reese had a gut feeling that if she expressed sympathy towards Ella Rhodes, Lukas might show up and strangle her directly.

She shook her head, looking a bit dazed, "No. I used to feel sympathetic toward her, but that was before I learned she was willing to harm others for her selfish desires. Knowing the malice she held against me, and what she had planned to do with me that night, I would only regret sympathizing with someone like her before."

Lukas's eyes lit up, and he softly hummed, "You're not naive."

Reese frowned and stared at Lukas, questioning, "Then why are you involving yourself with this? They're dealing with me, and this matter has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Lukas's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, "Reese, have you already forgotten who you are, or your current situation?"

Reese pursed her lips, "So, you're doing all of this because of me."

Reese's emotions were complicated beyond words.

Lukas gave a wry smile, his tone firm, "You think too much. In my book, With you in my account, I won't tolerate anyone mistreating you, now that you're under my protection."

Reese's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lukas, "Even though they deserve it, I still..."

Lukas cut her off, a bit annoyed, "Why are you so ungrateful?" He said.

Reese pressed her lips together, "I'm not." She responded in defense.

Lukas looked at her, his irritation showing, "Reese, understand that it is their hearts that were malicious. What I did is just simply stir the waters. If Ella let go of her hatred and desire for revenge, the car accident wouldn't have happened. And if Alexa hadn't instigated Ella, she wouldn't be in the hospital right at this moment. It's a two-way street."

"You have to realize that Alexa's course of actions that caused Ella to have a miscarriage was the final straw that broke her. Reese, you wouldn't understand such simple and straightforward reasoning, don't you?"
