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

Anthony's face showed surprise, "How could your injury be related to this?"

Reese sighed helplessly, "You know that besides me, the Roberts Family doesn't have any other connections at

Strakovski Jewelry. But Alexa wants to marry Gerald, so she can only find a way through me. My father used what

my mother left forto threatento ask Lukas to help Alexa get into Strakovski Jewelry."

Reese looked weary, "I really had no other option. The Hughes Family was hesitating and didn't know which

family to form an alliance with. My father kept urgingto beg Lukas for help. But he pushed too hard, and

considering Lukas's personality, there's no way he would easily let someone with questionable behavior like

Alexa to enter the company. | guess even if | asked him, it wouldn't work. | was left with no choice but to resort to

a desperate measure and sneak into the Roberts Family villa to steal something."

Anthony frowned deeply, "So, you got injured when you went back to the Roberts Family villa to take something."

Reese nodded, "When | was taking the item, my father cback. At that time, | was with Ava, and I didn't want

my father to see her and cause her any trouble. So we tried to climb down from the second floor through the

window. Halfway through, | was already nervous, and the sound of my father unlocking the door startled me,

causingto fall and sprain my foot."

Anthony looked at her with a touch of heartache, "Did you get the item?"

With a hint of disappointment, Reese replied, "I didn't get anything; it was an empty shell. My father had

separated the envelope and the letter."

Anthony felt even more heartache. He didn't expect Reese to be injured and busy for nothing.

He was about to comfort her when his phone rang again, interrupting the moment. Anthony sighed inwardly,

realizing it was a call from Ella.

As much as he sympathized with Ella's situation, he couldn't shake the feeling of disgust, knowing that she had

originally planned to target him.

Hesitant but obliged to answer the call, Anthony picked up, and an otherworldly look appeared on his jaded face.

Ella's voice sounded tearful, "Anthony, I'm going to marry Gerald. | won't bother you anymore, so you can rest

assured. | won't have any way to pester you."

Anthony furrowed his brows, trying to remain composed, "Do you need anything?" Ella's voice was filled with

sorrow, "I'm pregnant. | want to see you before | go to register with Gerald. Where are you?"

Anthony's expression changed slightly upon hearing the news, "You're pregnant?"

Ella cried with self-mockery, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Now the whole of Switzerland knows about Gerald and me. He's

like a stinky bug, and even my parents will makemarry him."

Anthony pursed his lips, finding it hard to respond to her emotional outpouring, "That's your own business," he

finally said, trying to distance himself from the situation.

Ella sobbed, "Anthony, you're really ruthless."

Anthony remained silent.

Ella felt heartbroken; she had liked this person for so long, but in the end, things turned out like this. Her

emotions were raw, and her pain was palpable as she said while crying, "Anthony, | want to see you one last

time. Can I?"

Anthony's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm at the hospital."

"Then I'll cto find you right now," Ella quickly responded, her desperation evident in her voice.

Anthony hung up the phone, knowing that Ella would definitely cover.

He turned to look at Reese. "Reese, there may be a turning point in the situation." He said.

Reese looked at him in surprise.

Anthony explained, "Ella is pregnant, and the Rhodes Family is asking Gerald to take responsibility. They are

getting registered tomorrow. As long as the marriage between Gerald and Alexa falls through, your father

shouldn't rush you anymore. This might not solve the root problem, but at least it can buy us stime." Reese

was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. She pursed her lips and asked after a while, "She got pregnant so

quickly?"

Anthony chuckled softly, "It can be detected within a week."

Reese felt a bit awkward about prying into others' business but sincerely thanked him for trying to help her in the

way he can. "Thank you for everything." She said.

Anthony smiled and shook his head, "No need to thank me. You savedbefore, so I'm just returning the favor."

"But it was because ofthat Alexa retaliated against you, and you helpedonline, after all," Reese said,

somewhat a bit embarrassed.

"You are different from her," Anthony looked at Reese with a smile in his eyes.

Outside the door, Lukas's eyes darkened. He sneered mockingly, wondering if this solution could really solve the

root problem.

His gaze fell on Reese's swollen foot, and he felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.

Thinking about what Reese had said, Lukas suddenly understood why he couldn't find anything even after

investigating for a whole day. Reese must have encountered strouble, and it seemed that Ricardo was using

something to threaten her.

His eyes deepened, remembering that he had warned Ricardo not to lay a hand on Reese again, or he wouldn't

be polite.

Now, it seemed that Ricardo had completely ignored his warning, so he didn't need to be polite anymore.

At that moment, his phone vibrated, and Martins was calling.

Lukas didn't want Reese to know he was at the door, so he quickly walked away with his phone.

With a serious expression, he answered the call, "What's the matter?"

Martins's voice was tense, "Mr. Strakovski, we've caught the person."
