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

Ricardo looked at Alexa irritably, "Ella's father was arrested and committed suicide in prison. Her mother also

jumped off a building. Ella Rhodes has no strength to fight against you. If it weren't for your reckless actions

today, you wouldn't have suffered in vain."

Alexa never expected that things would take such a turn. She regretted her actions immensely and burst into

tears.

Ricardo helped her into the car and took her to the hospital to dress her wounds. He whispered, "Do you know

who did this to the Rhodes Family?"

With a face full of misery and pain, Alexa shook her head.

Ricardo lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "It was Lukas. He calmly dealt with the Rhodes Family. He's not

someone to mess with. Clear your head and stop provoking Reese. Otherwise, | won't be able to save you

either."

Alexa, recalling the incident at Hill Crest One Residence, cowered and dared not say a word.

That man was truly terrifying.

Meanwhile, Reese sat by the bed, opened the wardrobe mirror, and carefully checked her neck wound under the

gauze.

At that moment, Lukas pushed the door open, and Reese quickly moved her hand, accidentally grazing the

wound, causing her to wince in pain.

Lukas found her reaction somewhat amusing and asked, "What are you doing?"

Reese felt a little uneasy, "Checking my wound." She replied.

She thought Lukas would ask about the letter Alexa mentioned, but he didn't mention it at all.

He simply said, "If it hurts, take spainkillers."

Reese looked at him calmly, "Thank you for your concern. Fortunately, it's not that painful, so | can bear it."

Lukas's eyes darkened. Was she deliberately keeping her distance?

He responded with scoldness, "As you wish."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Reese blinked her eyes, and a trace of unnoticed disappointment flashed through her gaze. Self-consolation

followed; of course, he wouldn't care about such things or ask about the letter.

She should have different expectations to avoid Lukas mentioning her inappropriate thoughts.

In the afternoon, Alexa had her wound dressed at the hospital and changed into a new outfit. She went to the

Civil Affairs Bureau with Gerald to register their marriage.

Despite the gauze on her face, Alexa and Gerald successfully obtained their marriage certificate.

However, Gerald couldn't hide his disdain.

After all, he agreed to marry Alexa mainly for the sake of their interests. Before, he wanted to get closer to Lukas

through Alexa. Now that he had obtained a crucial project from Lukas, the marriage was naturally necessary.

As they left the civil affairs bureau, reporters rushed over.

Alexa, a designer involved in a plagiarism case, had many controversial aspects. Now, getting married twice in

such a short twas bound to attract attention. Moreover, Hughes Family had a significant reputation in

Switzerland, and even ordinary people would likely enjoy such news.

Facing the reporters, Alexa smiled gracefully despite her injured face. However, when she saw Ella, full of

resentment and not far from the Civil Affairs Bureau, her expression slightly stiffened.

She hadn't forgotten that it was Ella's family tragedy that enabled her to stand undefeated and marry Gerald.

Alexa felt uncomfortable under Ella's gaze. Although the Rhodes Family's power was now weak, now that she

was married to Gerald, she couldn't allow Ella to give birth to that illegitimate child.

She might not be able to deal with Reese, but she couldn't let Ella take advantage of her now that she had

married into Hughes Family.

With this in mind, Alexa hatched a wicked plan.

That evening, in a dim alley, seven or eight burly men were dragging a woman who struggled and screamed for

help.

Unfortunately, the location was too secluded, and no one was around to notice. Even if someone did witness the

group of men, they wouldn't dare to intervene.

After what felt like an eternity, Ella's body started to go numb. Finally, the last man stood up. He gloated, "The

rich young miss really lives up to her reputation. This feeling is simply too wonderful; it's almost killing me."

Another man joked, "Even though she's a rich young miss, she's just a broken shoe. Look at how you've made

him revel in your beauty."

"It's true. Alexa is indeed clever, knowing that she has to destroy Rhodes Family fundamentally to marry into

Hughes Family."

Lying on the ground like a discarded rag, Ella's body stiffened abruptly. Alexa was the one who caused her father

to be imprisoned and her mother to commit suicide.

The men's conversation echoed in her ears.

"Alexa may be smart, but she's a venomous snake. We should stay away from such a woman; we can't afford the

consequences."

"However, these young masters from wealthy families are heartless. Even if she were to bear his child, it

wouldn't necessarily matter to him."

"You're naive. If he cared, would he have agreed to Alexa's suggestion and let us handle this woman? If it weren't

for this child, she probably wouldn't have suffered tonight."

The men got dressed, and their voices grew fainter as they get further from the

scene.
