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

Unexpectedly, Lukas's reaction was faster than that of the bodyguards. He avoided the flower scissors and

kicked Rob directly in the chest.

The flower scissors flew out of the culprit's hands, and his body was sent flying into a bed of roses. The thorns of

the roses scratched his body, leaving wounds all

over.

Lukas stood coldly beside the flower bed and asked, "Rob Lecter, have you made up your mind? Will you speak

or not?"

Rob trembled with fear.

Lukas's gaze fell on the scissors beside him as he calmly said, "Martins, go ask. Every t| ask, and he didn't

answer, cut off one finger. My patience has its limits."

Martins nodded and bent down to pick up the flower scissors.

Rob's pupils suddenly contracted. He was truly scared now; this man was much more powerful and terrifying

than he had imagined.

His voice trembled as he spoke quickly in fear, "It was Ella Rhodes, sir! It was Ella Rhodes who askedto

tamper with the drinks. She also drank the spiked drink herself to divert suspicion from her."

Lukas's eyes darkened as he asked, "Why did she do that?"

Lying in the bed of roses, in excruciating pain, Rob no longer dared to lie to the man before him. He truthfully

replied, "She wanted to deal with a woman named Reese Roberts. She arranged for several men to attack Reese

after she was drugged, intending to defile her. She also arranged for someone to film it, hoping to ruin that

woman's reputation."

Rob had overheard this when Ella explained her plan to someone else.

Now, all he hoped for was to reveal more information so that the man wouldn't be too harsh on him.

Lukas raised an eyebrow and turned to Martins, instructing him, "Take a picture of him with the severed finger

and send it to Ella Rhodes."

Martins respectfully nodded, "All right, Mr. Strakovski. And what should we do with this man?"

Lukas's eyes flickered as he looked back at the villa behind him and said calmly, "Detain him in the underground

cellar of Hidden Amethyst Cove Gardens. Don't let him die. Once this matter is settled, deal with it as you wish."

Martins nodded and quickly ordered his men to take the photo.

Lukas pondered for a moment and added, "Arrange a meeting with Ricardo fortomorrow."

Martins was somewhat surprised. Did this matter have something to do with the Roberts Family?

However, he didn't dare to ask more about Lukas's affairs and simply nodded in compliance.

Lukas left Hidden Amethyst Cove Gardens and went straight back to Hill Crest One Residence.

Lukas was aware of a conversation between Anthony and Reese where the Hughes family had to choose

between the Roberts and Rhodes families. It was revealed that Ricardo would threaten Reese to let Aleza into the

Hughes family. Lukas was unsure of how to handle the situation.

But now, after seeing how both the Rhodes and Roberts families were having a bad deal, he no longer felt the

need to be concerned about anything.

At Rivers Health Medical Center...

Cole looked at his watch and asked Reese, "When will Dr. Rivers be back? It's getting late."

Reese pursed her lips, "Let's wait a bit longer. He should be back soon."

Reese knew that Anthony had gone to see Ella, and he would probably inquire about her marriage to Gerald and

cback to tell her.

Suddenly, Cole spoke again, "I heard that Luther Van Eimeren is organizing a university alumni gathering a

month from now. Will you go?"

Reese hesitated for a moment and instinctively shook her head, "I won't go.

Ava noticed Reese's slightly panicked expression and knew that she wasn't telling the truth.

She asked Cole, "Director Hopkins, hasn't Luther Van Eimeren returned yet? Why is he already organizing an

alumni gathering?"

Cole smiled, "He has always been influential during his university days. Now that he's back in Switzerland and

doesn't plan to leave, it's normal for him to connect with everyone and strengthen the bond. | heard that this

gathering will be held at the Fiveone Hotel owned by the Van Eimeren family, and his influence is quite strong, so

| expect many people to attend."

Reese forced a smile, "Is that so?"

She still remembered the origin of the n"Fiveone Hotel."

While others believed that "Fiveone" was simply referring to the five and one, or May 1st, only Reese knew the

true meaning of it. Luther's nand the nof the hotel were both derived from a poem phrase.

Luther once told Reese that his mother loved this poem, so he took his nand the hotel's nfrom it.

Ava noticed that Reese's mood wasn't great, so she changed the topic, "Director, have you kept in touch with

your university friends in the past two years?"

Cole smiled, "I used to have sunresolved issues and was reluctant to contact my old friends. But after

seeing you and Reese, | reconnected with my college roommate. The matter of Luther Van Eimeren trying to stop

the alumni gathering was also told toby him."

Ava didn't expect the topic to circle back again after trying to change it.

She smiled awkwardly, "Is that so?"

Cole nodded and asked her in return, "If Reese doesn't go, will you go to the gathering?"

Ava tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Reese hasn't decided yet. She just mentioned it casually. I'll see how it

goes later. How about you, Director? Will you go?"

Upon hearing Ava's words, Reese glanced at her but didn't refute anything.

To be honest, whether she would go or not didn't matter to Ava anymore. Now that she had found Cole, nothing

else was important to her. If Cole decided to go, she would also attend.

Cole looked at Ava's serious expression and said, "I haven't seen my university friends for a long teither. I'll

see how it goes closer to the date."

The atmosphere in the ward beca bit strange, but fortunately, Anthony arrived after dealing with his

business.

Both Anthony and Cole offered to send Reese home, but she declined, saying, "Ava can takehome."

Anthony nodded in agreement, and he didn't avoid Cole and Ava's intentions. He then told Reese, "All right, then

Ava can take you home. By the way, let's talk about Ella now..."
