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

Reese gazed up at Lukas in disbelief, her expression deeply moved. "Lukas, I..."

She wanted to apologize, to express gratitude, but her words eluded her for a moment.

After a brief silence, she blurted out a somewhat muddled question, "Didn't Ricardo say the letter was a fake?"

Immediately, Reese felt the urge to strangle herself for asking such a bewildering question. How could she stumble over her words like this?

Now she finally comprehended why Lukas had shown no curiosity when the maid mentioned Alexa using the letter to threaten her.

He had already been made aware of it.

Lukas looked at her with a mocking glint, "By this point, are you suggesting that I threatened Ricardo to tell you that?"

Reese bit her lip, "Mr. Strakovski, I'm sorry. Thank you."

Lukas discerned the implications of her words.

"Sorry" acknowledged her misunderstanding, and "thank you" appreciated him for retrieving her letter back.

He huffed disdainfully, "You don't have to say anything. Originally, I had doubts about giving you the letter. Now, knowing how conniving you are, if I had received the letter initially, I would've handed it over and asked you to get out of my sight."

Reese accepted the letter from Lukas without examining it.

She looked at Lukas with a conflicted expression and a tinge of guilt in her tone, "Mr. Strakovski, I wasn't aware you helped arrange Gerald and Alexa's marriage for this reason. I'm sorry."
